Impact Wrestling Open Vein

....I just wanted a catchy name like Princess. Anyhow, Aces & Eights? We dunno. What we do know is that it's Chavo Guerrero's debut and we have AJ Styles vs. James Storm and Kurt Angle vs. Bully Ray.

  1. Does this make me the heroin then?

  2. WE WANT JOEY RYAN!

  3. Sting's face paint is so ridiculous. You're like 40 dude, grow up.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Everyone's music sounds exactly the same to me. 

    ReplyDelete
  5. Sting was 40 in 1999.

    ReplyDelete
  6. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE come out as Kerwin White!!!

    ReplyDelete
  7. I love how their acting like Chavo is gonna make a difference.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Bringing in Chavo as a name job guy for the X-Division isn't the worst idea in the world, but I really hope they don't plan on pushing him.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Wayne Arnold sighting.

    ReplyDelete
  10. But he's a game changer....on every level. 

    ReplyDelete
  11. It's a scissor party!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Having regular wrestlers make front office decisions is really stupid. 

    ReplyDelete
  13. I applaud the "Rashard Cameron Bowel Movement".

    ReplyDelete
  14. Definitely not tv pg

    ReplyDelete
  15. Vicki would make a bigger difference.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Wait, they're going to have him cut a promo for a debut!?! Do they realize they have Chavo and not Eddie?

    ReplyDelete
  17. And now Kid Kash is going to talk. Are the people who run Impact awake right now?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Kid Kash is like a less talented hick version of Daniel Craig.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Am I the only one who thinks they should go through with Storm being behind Aces and Eights?

    ReplyDelete
  20. You and Vince Russo.

    ReplyDelete
  21. And Jesse Baker

    ReplyDelete
  22. Now now... that's a bit harsh.

    Also, NO to Shaw. I'm honestly not impressed by him.

    ReplyDelete
  23. It's a way better idea than Bischoff or Hogan.

    ReplyDelete
  24. If they keep treating Joey like this, he's going to be a BIG star when they pull the trigger on having him compete every week. He's one of the few guys they've featured in the Gut Check Challenge that actually has all the tools. Really happy with how they're letting this play out.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Not better... but that's like asking someone if they'd rather watch Big Show vs Cena for the 38th time, or Sharmell vs Jenna for the second time.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Claire Lynch must need some Ex-Lax.

    ReplyDelete
  27. This match is picking up nicely.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Man, these two have some CRAZY good chemistry.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Booooooooo that ending. I was digging that match though.m

    ReplyDelete
  30. Really good match with just an awful ending. I'm intrigued by Aces and Eights and it can go a million different ways but ruining awesome matches and the just terrible "let's go to commercial in the middle of it without actally resolving the match" totally sucks. INTEREST LEVEL: DOWN.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Great TV match, although kinda hard to get into knowing that finish was coming.

    ReplyDelete
  32. ..I'd like to tell you AJ put up a good fight, and Aces a Eights let him be..

    ...I'd like to tell you that...

    ...but TNA is not a fairy tale place.

    ReplyDelete
  33. especially the Joker face paint.  that shit should be for a chaotic evil character, not a lawful stupid one. But yeah, if Sting were 40, seeing him in the ring would depress me so much.

    ReplyDelete
  34.  Hey now, there's at least two categories- generic rock, generic rap and RVDhorrible.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Shut up Butt-head.

    ReplyDelete
  36. If this is a red herring with Storm, I applaud it. Would show a rare level of awareness on the heels part, taking advantage of Roode's dislike of Storm.

    If he's actually the leader, not so good.

    ReplyDelete
  37.  I really liked it when they were at the "one run in per episode" pace, last week they seemed to be involved every other match.

    ReplyDelete
  38. "Lawful Stupid"... populated by Sting, Lex Luger, and Dustin Rhodes (pre-Goldust), among many other dumb, dumb faces.

    ReplyDelete
  39. "He was a Russian sympathizer..."


    Awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Sam Shaw is a homeless man's Randy Orton.

    And "Was your dad a Russian?" "No, Russian Sympathizer.":  Very nice.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Aries with a Repo Man joke! IS THERE ANYTHING HE CAN'T DO?

    ReplyDelete
  42. "I hope your dad's repo business is doing good!" was awesome too. 

    ReplyDelete
  43. Hopefully his dad's golf game is also doing well.

    ReplyDelete
  44. WAY TO GO THERE, BRUCE PRICHARD! Way to walk into the shot... total "OH SHIT" reaction from him, too.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I could get behind Darsow getting "inside" remarks every week from other wrestlers:
     
    "Hey, what's your dad's handicap?"
    "Tell your dad to stop trying to take my car."
    "Who are you supposed to be, Smush?"
    "Your dad must admire Bully Ray."
    ... and so on.
     
    (Oops, I somehow missed the Repo Man remark.)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Man... what I wouldn't do for a Kenny King/Shelton Benjamin match. They'd TEAR SHIT UP.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm liking both Kenny King and Zema Ion, though Ion has a terrible name. I must not have been paying close attention, because I don't remember King being this athletic in ROH.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Oh, he absolutely was. He's probably one of the best pure athletes they've had in awhile. He was really wasted in the tag team with Rhett, but Rhett REALLY needed to be carried, and King was game enough to do it.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Did they really never wrestle in ROH?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Good match but what the hell, another cheap finish?

    ReplyDelete
  51. See, Bully Ray saying "I said early today on twitter"...is much more realistic and tolerable than "RAW IS TRENDING ON TWITTER RIGHT NOW!" or "THIS INSULT IS SO FUNNY IT'S GOING TO TREND ON TWITTER!".

    ReplyDelete
  52. ...why would his dad admire Bully Ray?

    ReplyDelete
  53.  Only in ANX vs. WGTT. Shelton doesn't really do many solo matches in ROH.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I'm waiting to watch this tomorrow because I still had kid-wrangling duties & missed the beginning. So I'd like to take this opportunity to say: Velvet Sky just left TNA, and if she signs with WWE, I fucking called that shit! Also I'd bet that signals another reason why Chris Sabin might retire. 

    ReplyDelete
  55. Aries/King vs. Roode/Ion next week? Yes please.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Blacktop Bully. That might be a little too inside though.

    ReplyDelete
  57. That's such a wasted opportunity - although I guess the WGTT/ANX feud just started "recently". Still kinda surprises me.

    ReplyDelete
  58. ...Kurt came straight from the honeymoon to the ring.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Why do you come back from a commercial for THREE SECONDS?!?!

    Jesus, Mary, John, Paul, George and Ringo...I HATE that..

    ReplyDelete
  60. Actually thought Angle was having a heart attack for a sec when he was climbing for the moonsault.

    ReplyDelete
  61. The Butcher is behind all of these attacks.

    ReplyDelete
  62. A pretty good end segment. 

    ReplyDelete
  63.  Hence why she'd be better off in WWE than in TNA where the women actually wrestle.

    ReplyDelete
  64. He should wear wrestling gear comprised of all the outfits his dad has worn over the years.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Another week, another solid show.

    As for Aces and Eights, I'm hoping it's someone new or out of the spotlight now. (NOT Bischoff though. Let it be someone who can use the push.)

    ReplyDelete
  66. I know I'm crazy and all but (puts on flame suit), this show was better than RAW 1000.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Check out Davey-Kenny from ROH Big Bang.

    ReplyDelete
  68. You're not crazy. You just like wrestling more than you like sports entertainment. 

    ReplyDelete
  69. I watched both shows, and look at me, I'm smug free!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Sam shays kinda sucked

    ReplyDelete
  71. It's pretty clear Roode is at least working with the Aces & 8s now.  Dude most likely orchestrated the attack on himself to throw everyone off.  The Storm story is way too easy.  Which is a much better alternative than Jarrett leading the group.
