This whole angle is just slogging at a snails pace. I'm all for slow burn angles, but with hindsight, if they would've condensed this whole thing into 3-4 months, it might've been decent.
Match 1: Sabin v Suicide v Aries, Ultimate X for X-Division Championship
Pro: Crisp moves, quite solid execution by all three. Decent combo moves. Con: Three men seems too few for Ultimate X. Pace was a bit slow overall. Finish gets a neutral, felt a little rushed, if a nice last spot (King crashes and burns.)
Call it **1/2 ish, *** if you're feeling generous.
I hope that's not a thing now. With Aries, it fit into the storyline. He was X champ for almost a year and had no contenders left. It was great storytelling. If Sabin does the same, then fine, but just trading the belt for a WHT match is not something that should become the norm. Too similar to MITB.
But that's what he'd be doing, because that's what I also want to see. I think Joe just doesn't play politics and in turn, is never protected. If you put him with the main event faction, then by proxy, they'd have to protect him...in theory.
True. It's funny how easily you can tell who's not playing politics. It's all the TNA "originals" that won't do it and that's why they are stuck in midcardland. Thanks Hogan!
I wouldn't be shocked at all to see Joe turn heel tonight. I mean, the face team is stacked and the heel team is shit so I assume this is so someone can turn, or because they can't get enough if Garrett and Wes
Yep, same can be said for a large chunk of WWE guys. Punk's even talked about it. You have to speak up, damned your job if you want to get anywhere. It's a lost art. You'd think working so close to Hogan and HHH respectively, these guys would learn.
Pro: Seeing Bischoff stomped into a pile of goo... well, almost. Kennedy doing most of the Aces ringwork. THAT ELBOW from the top. Con: Seeing the Stooges on offense. Or in any role not involving them on the ground, counting lights/sheep. Yes, I would support any wrestler no selling them. Hardy's TWO attempts at a Twist of Fate on Brisco. Finish was solid, definitely not a downer.
Call it **, replace the Stooges with actual wrestlers and that rating has a real chance to be doubled.
i'm new into this world,but i'm reading suicide squad,hawkeye,aquaman,superior spider-man,the boys,the punisher (Ennis run with the character),just finished today the CROW(bad ass comic),I just want your opinion,there's any comic i should look for?
Ennis is awesome with THE BOYS(Billy butcher is the man),i'm reading Johnswork on Aquaman(from what I 've seen he is a great writer) and everyone says he owns with green lantern,X-men nevergot me but i'll look,for you I recommend the crow awesome one-shot story about revenge.
Fuj, I listened to Austin's podcast last night with Nash. Awesome. All kinds of shoot stuff and incredibly entertaining. Austin cracks me up as it sounds like he's yelling at you when he reads the ads. Check it if you haven't yet.
I'm going to check that one out on my ride to go hook up with this chick I know on the way home from work. I'm listening to his most recent one about falling in the shower and it's just bizarre.
This is shaping up to be one of the worst ppv's in a long time for TNA. Usually, there's good matches, but wow, it's been complete suckitude with the exception of the average X match.
So does Devon get the title back on Thursday when he points out "I signed up for a match with Joseph Park, not Abyss! They're totally different people, right?"
Those are hard to do. Scott used to do those and he was great at it because he threw in some factual corrections. You could pull it off, but it would be a helluva lot of writing.
Brooke Hogan is pregnant???????
ReplyDeleteIs this the Game of Thrones live thread?
ReplyDeleteWhich has TNA had for a longer cumulative time, four sided ring or six sided ring?
ReplyDeleteAnd here we go
ReplyDeleteSix sided ring.
ReplyDelete30 to 1 Vegas Odds that Sting wrestles without a t-shirt tonight.
ReplyDeleteBrooke turns on Hulk Tonight
ReplyDeleteand AJ Styles gains more weight...TONIGHT!
ReplyDeleteHEY! MY ORDER WORKED! WOOHOO!
ReplyDeleteCan we get one of those?
ReplyDeleteAlso, that Sting-Morgan match STILL sucks. Even weeks later, as a highlight package.
ReplyDeletePlease, please, please, do not spoil.
ReplyDeleteI dunno...guys start to prefer sweater vests around that ag.
ReplyDeleteAlright, my favorite kind of ppv, super low expectations and yet, if Hogan somehow works his way into a match, they will still let me down.
ReplyDeleteI always liked Ric Flair's Tommy Bahama button ups from late in his WCW career.
ReplyDeleteI will not. Are you watching it live? Let me know what you think after you see it.
ReplyDeleteBrace yourselves, downvotes are coming.
ReplyDeleteOf course. I'm gonna marathon it next weekend. I was going to start watching weekly and realized that waiting week to week would drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteThere was a 2 week gap between the last episode and tonight's. It was terrible.
ReplyDeleteNo those are just for you, people like my sparkling personality
ReplyDeleteYou have read the books right. You know what's coming?
ReplyDeleteWait, did Hogan just say Sting's been around longer than him? Um, no.
ReplyDeleteAlso, seeing Jeff Hardy get hit with a hammer never gets old.
That guy killed the other one, then everyone had sex.
ReplyDeleteDid the show start early?
ReplyDeleteNo, pre-show.
ReplyDeleteToo much Bully-Sting (the WHOLE damn show), too little anything else.
oh, ok, not missing anything. thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis is the PPV where Brooke turns, right? It's just so flagrantly obviously, that has to be the next step, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not the case, but I read somewhere that it might end up being Hogan vs. Bully at BFG, where Brooke will turn on dear ol' daddy. EEK!
ReplyDeleteEven they aren't dumb enough to wait that long to pull the trigger.
ReplyDeleteThis whole angle is just slogging at a snails pace. I'm all for slow burn angles, but with hindsight, if they would've condensed this whole thing into 3-4 months, it might've been decent.
ReplyDeleteGood intro... and off we go.
ReplyDeleteHemme... HOLY SHIT.
ReplyDeleteAlways...
ReplyDeleteAnyone know who's in the Suicide mask?
ReplyDeleteNice DDT Sabin.
ReplyDeletebut it sucks this move its just a transition one.
ReplyDeleteTJ Perkins.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWhat a awful powerbomb
ReplyDeletePretty neat little bout going on.
ReplyDeleteyep.
ReplyDeleteYou saw what I did there?
ReplyDeleteBy Sabin? That looked like a nice counter to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat's funny is people will complain about this type of match, but yet the same people will cry because WWE doesn't do anything like it.
ReplyDeleteThe "this is awesome" chant is beyond watered down. Nice spot monkey match, but c'mmon, this isn't exactly a classic.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are happy that Cena isn't there.
ReplyDeleteMatch 1: Sabin v Suicide v Aries, Ultimate X for X-Division Championship
ReplyDeletePro: Crisp moves, quite solid execution by all three. Decent combo moves.
Con: Three men seems too few for Ultimate X. Pace was a bit slow overall.
Finish gets a neutral, felt a little rushed, if a nice last spot (King crashes and burns.)
Call it **1/2 ish, *** if you're feeling generous.
I like Sabin as X champ. Maybe he can join the A&8 and then they'll be forced to focus on the belt.
ReplyDeleteNone of those spots led up to anything, either. At least they got the crowd going, if nothing else.
ReplyDeleteAries typo or wishful thinking?
ReplyDeleteYep, VINTAGE spot monkey match.
ReplyDeleteIf the idea is still to hand off the X title in exchange for a world title shot, they could potentially have a great Bully/Sabin match down the road.
ReplyDeleteBrother it's self parody time!
ReplyDeleteHA! Holy shit, that post was sitting there for almost the whole match, being updated... and I manage to botch that?
ReplyDeleteYep, there's a reason I don't do this normally. ;)
There's the next TNA Champ!
ReplyDeleteI hope that's not a thing now. With Aries, it fit into the storyline. He was X champ for almost a year and had no contenders left. It was great storytelling. If Sabin does the same, then fine, but just trading the belt for a WHT match is not something that should become the norm. Too similar to MITB.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Sabin's not winning. No matter who's the champ by then.
ReplyDeleteIs Hogan seriously giving us the "This is the future of THIS BUSINESS" line again? How long has he been using that line?
ReplyDeleteAww Hulk, way to come out and suck Sabin's heat...
ReplyDeleteSad to see isn't.please a moment of silence for the reputatio of the Tna title.
ReplyDeleteOh c'mmon! They're turning the X title into MITB. Not a fan.
ReplyDelete"I'm the SHOW,brother this place is nothing without me",just read Hogan's mind now.
ReplyDeleteSo Kennedy's got babysitting duties now?
ReplyDeleteThey wasted no time killing off any excitement that opener might have built.
ReplyDeleteMICK FOLEY ALERT! MICK FOLEY ALERT!
ReplyDeleteCheap Heat Detected. Condition: Yellow.
Six man tag coming up should be fun
ReplyDeleteHogan said PUSSY!!!
ReplyDelete"Nobody in Boston is afraid of no ghost..."
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck is he talking about???
but as csonka pointed out a few weeks back it would be some accidental continuity.
ReplyDeletemcmg/3d feud of 09?
sabin kicked out of 3d and led to their pin and ultimate demise.
Yeah, aren't they in NY?
ReplyDeleteHogan is all fired up tonight. lol.
ReplyDeleteGHOSTBUSTERS!
ReplyDeleteHe's EDGY, brother!
ReplyDeleteI do not approve of Hogan's taking Hemme's duties.
ReplyDeleteAnd BITCH! Twice!
ReplyDeleteSee, Joe as the enforcer of A&8 would've been a thousand times better than what they have now.
ReplyDeleteMagnus stole AJ's attire.
ReplyDeleteJoe choking out random failures would be quite entertaining.
ReplyDeleteHe's missing the Magic Hoodie.
ReplyDeleteI'd rather see Joe in his 2005 destroy everyone role.
ReplyDeleteBut that's what he'd be doing, because that's what I also want to see. I think Joe just doesn't play politics and in turn, is never protected. If you put him with the main event faction, then by proxy, they'd have to protect him...in theory.
ReplyDeleteOK, I don't remember that. So, there's an accidental made story. That works.
ReplyDeleteTrue. It's funny how easily you can tell who's not playing politics. It's all the TNA "originals" that won't do it and that's why they are stuck in midcardland. Thanks Hogan!
ReplyDeleteHello fuj,miss me?hahahaha
ReplyDeleteHe'd fit that role a lot better than Anderson does. Their current roles should be completely reversed.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be shocked at all to see Joe turn heel tonight. I mean, the face team is stacked and the heel team is shit so I assume this is so someone can turn, or because they can't get enough if Garrett and Wes
ReplyDeleteYep, same can be said for a large chunk of WWE guys. Punk's even talked about it. You have to speak up, damned your job if you want to get anywhere. It's a lost art. You'd think working so close to Hogan and HHH respectively, these guys would learn.
ReplyDeleteAs shitty as Joe has been booked in years, he still has instant credibility as a bad ass with his in ring work alone.
ReplyDeleteummmm no?
ReplyDeletebut whats up?
No knife + Cheerios pants please! Plus, Taz used to be his manager. Would make sense.
ReplyDeleteWere you ever stationed in Brazil? Is this your long lost son?
ReplyDeletejust joking dude,you seem to be a nice guy,but fear soon,I'M gonna be the top dog os the blog.
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeletedo you read comics,fuj?
ReplyDeleteunless she has kids orally.
ReplyDelete(no disrespect braziliankid)
im just saying. No lil Fuj's
eh.
ReplyDeleteMatch 2: Kennedy/Stooges v Magnus/Joe/Hardy
ReplyDeletePro: Seeing Bischoff stomped into a pile of goo... well, almost. Kennedy doing most of the Aces ringwork. THAT ELBOW from the top.
Con: Seeing the Stooges on offense. Or in any role not involving them on the ground, counting lights/sheep. Yes, I would support any wrestler no selling them. Hardy's TWO attempts at a Twist of Fate on Brisco.
Finish was solid, definitely not a downer.
Call it **, replace the Stooges with actual wrestlers and that rating has a real chance to be doubled.
Don't worry,dude,i've heard worst thing about me.
ReplyDeleteWhat was up with the two Twists of Fate? Did Brisco botch the spot that bad?
ReplyDeleteThe first one looked fine... the second one will be right at home on Botchamania.
ReplyDeletei try, but im always a storyarc behind.
ReplyDeleteanything i should look out for?
"Just realized the Boston crab is a wrestling maneuver."
ReplyDeleteI love this man.
Well, if this brings Abyss out, I'm cool with it.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where DOC is at.
ReplyDeleteAnd now to determine who will be the bitch in the BFG Series.
ReplyDeleteYou can have it bro.
ReplyDeleteIm perfectly content, settling into my part time "Undertaker role" on the blog.
its about time for some new blood.
OK. What did I miss?
ReplyDeleteWow, both of these guys need new music, STAT!
ReplyDeleteHulk Hogan said "bitch" and "pussy" a lot.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding. Sam Shaw is already a super generic name. Coupled with that music, it screams jobber.
ReplyDeleteWill the winner of this match do better in the BFG Series this year than Robbie E did last year? He did, after all, have FIVE POINTS... bro.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, he threw a middle finger.
ReplyDelete"That is the WORST tribal tattoo since.....well MY Tribal tattoo"
ReplyDelete- Mr. Kennedy
If there's justice, no.
ReplyDeleteWes Brisco is the worst. Garrett is even better than him.
ReplyDelete"Win UGLY"?!?!?! Is that what they say about a wrestler that sucks now?
ReplyDeleteIt's terrible. I'm thinking he had some shit he regretted on his left arm and made the even dumber decision of having it colored in.
ReplyDeleteHe ended up with 12 POINTS BRO!
ReplyDeleteYou're not a real fan.
Fucking poser.
Damn. I guess you got me.
ReplyDeleteWell 16 years old,the leader of the new genration is here! haha.
ReplyDeletei'm new into this world,but i'm reading suicide squad,hawkeye,aquaman,superior spider-man,the boys,the punisher (Ennis run with the character),just finished today the CROW(bad ass comic),I just want your opinion,there's any comic i should look for?
ReplyDeleteAnyone think Bradley is like TNA's version of Barrett?
ReplyDeletedamn right i did!
ReplyDeleteThe New Generation didn't draw a dime. ;-)
ReplyDelete.aaaand I'm bored. Here's a gif:
ReplyDeletehttp://i.imgur.com/W8WES.gif
That Sam Shaw sure can do a headlock. He's got a lot of those!
ReplyDelete...this match should NOT be on a PPV.
ReplyDeleteMatch 3: Bradley v Shaw for a Bound For Glory Series Entry.
ReplyDeletePro: Hey, no botches. Scratch that... One botch (Thesz Press?)
Con: Hey, no crowd interest.
Finish was acceptable.
Hey, at least it's not a DUD. *, and they'll like it.
Whew, that was...something.
ReplyDeleteWhy does this dude have the old Vanilla Ice haircut?
ReplyDeletegood joke,but before i become the leader you're all my teachers the smarks of the blog(except baker and dougie).
ReplyDeleteDrop the word out, and your promo is accurate.
ReplyDelete"I'll be the last one." Yes, yes you will.
He's going the John Cena route.
ReplyDeleteWhen did TNA start allowing backyarders to wrestle on their 2nd biggest PPV?
ReplyDelete"Hey Christie, I got two words for ya....SUCK IT!!!"
ReplyDelete- Austin Aries
Shaw and Bradley made Brisco and Bischoff look like the Steiners in their prime, by comparison.
ReplyDeleteApparently tonight.
ReplyDeleteNot enough goofy smiling.
ReplyDeletewhen i was reading faithfully my pull list was
ReplyDelete-Boys (by Ennis)
-Green Lantern/Corps
-Uncanny Xmen
-X-Force
thats off the top of my head
Now, now... let's not be too harsh on the kids.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Public Enemy or PG-13... or even the Headbangers if you want to be optimistic.
Who, Shaw? His moveset made me think that someone shrunk Randy Orton.
ReplyDeletethere is nothing wrong with that
ReplyDeleteDing Dongs, yo...Ding Dongs.
ReplyDeleteHell no.
ReplyDeleteThank you TNA for making everyone's Worst Match of the Year award selection so much easier.
ReplyDeleteThe .gifs will increase exponentially in relation to the more bored I get.
ReplyDeleteThis knockoff "LA Law" theme makes me chuckle.
ReplyDeleteEnnis is awesome with THE BOYS(Billy butcher is the man),i'm reading Johnswork on Aquaman(from what I 've seen he is a great writer) and everyone says he owns with green lantern,X-men nevergot me but i'll look,for you I recommend the crow awesome one-shot story about revenge.
ReplyDeleteWell, worst MALE match, anyway.
ReplyDeleteI don't even count the divas/knockouts anymore.
ReplyDeleteYou're boring me, Devon:
ReplyDeletehttp://i.imgur.com/TTaQVXb.gif
Fuj, I listened to Austin's podcast last night with Nash. Awesome. All kinds of shoot stuff and incredibly entertaining. Austin cracks me up as it sounds like he's yelling at you when he reads the ads. Check it if you haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteAustin has a podcast???
ReplyDeletethen ill ask for an old school Beautiful people entering the ring .gif
ReplyDeleteplznthankyou
thanks for the advice.
ReplyDeleteYou know it's bad if you can't stay employed with the E and you're a Brisco
ReplyDeleteIs it in iTunes?
ReplyDeleteOh, you didn't know?? Your ass better caaaaaaaaalll somebodyyyyyyy!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteAnd it's awesome.
Yeah, look up "Steve Austin".
ReplyDelete...AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAnnnnnnnd. another successful defense for the hardest working champion in wrestling, Devon.
ReplyDeleteThis automatically gets 1* if I don't have to sit through a devon match.
ReplyDeletelinkage?
ReplyDeleteDevon has defended the title TWICE!! That's more than he's defended in the last 3 - 4 months.
ReplyDeleteCROM bless you!
ReplyDeleteIn Brazil we loves asses,and you got a great one!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.podcastone.com/Steve-Austin-Show
ReplyDelete..HEY!!. You don't know me like that, maaaaaan.
ReplyDelete"Devon has held that title for nearly 6 months!"
ReplyDeleteAnd defended it less than 6 times.
That is why I miss Samoa Joe as the TV champ.
ReplyDeleteCounting the "never started" matches.
ReplyDeletenot talking to you idiot!
ReplyDeleteRemember when he defended it every week in his fist reign until they forgot?
ReplyDeleteAnybody got a link?
ReplyDeletethats the first thing i thought.
ReplyDeletehe should have been in fcw FOR-EH-VER... but they cut him loose... for TNA to pick him up... cuz he is a legacy
TNA is terrible.
That's called a joke. YOU'RE the one talking to a random moving pixels.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.kingarthurflour.com/blog/files/2009/04/img_5863.JPG

No worries. The .gifs will continue.
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm.....
ReplyDeleteha ha, that legit made me crack up.
ReplyDeleteMatch 4: Devon v Park for the TNA TV Title
ReplyDeletePro: THAT THEME.
Con: Devon talks. The "match". Um, everything NOT involved with Park's theme.
Counting to Ten is not a finish.
(No Rating)
Match 5: Devon v Abyss (for the TNA TV Title?)
Pro: Abyss wins the title. Devon loses the title.
Con: Why does Devon get ANY offense? Why does Abyss sell? Why am I ignoring this match?
Finish was obvious... still good.
*, only for removing the TV title from Devon's waist.
I'm going to check that one out on my ride to go hook up with this chick I know on the way home from work. I'm listening to his most recent one about falling in the shower and it's just bizarre.
ReplyDeleteI prefer bacon myself.
ReplyDeleteThis is shaping up to be one of the worst ppv's in a long time for TNA. Usually, there's good matches, but wow, it's been complete suckitude with the exception of the average X match.
ReplyDeleteSo does Devon get the title back on Thursday when he points out "I signed up for a match with Joseph Park, not Abyss! They're totally different people, right?"
ReplyDeleteWell, we've found a worse theme for an owner.
ReplyDeleteBring on Linda's old WM theme, PLEASE.
BOR-Iiiiiiiiiiiiinnng:
ReplyDeletehttp://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z3/clock12_2009/BrookeAdamsonBFGstupidshot_zpsfc78b400.jpg
Nash's UT basketball stories are worth the podcast alone.
ReplyDeletejust read my mind.
ReplyDeleteShe's much more charismatic than "Robot" Linda.
ReplyDeletethank u sir, gives me something else to do besides antagonize the BoD...
ReplyDeleteIm debating on whether or not highlight the shoot interviews here on the BoD, idk... The Salt in The Eye needs to continue lol
And better looking.
ReplyDelete"Show your TITS!!!"
ReplyDelete"Show your TITS!!!"
"Show your TITS!!!"
"Show your TITS!!!"
Oh hell yeah. I find Dixie incredibly hot.
ReplyDeleteFirst, call all Knockouts out to the ring. THEN, follow the above step.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't?
ReplyDeleteThose are hard to do. Scott used to do those and he was great at it because he threw in some factual corrections. You could pull it off, but it would be a helluva lot of writing.
ReplyDeleteher only redeeming quality
ReplyDeleteSo Kurt's... winning or losing tonight?
ReplyDelete
