That open felt like that episode of RAW when The Brain was barred from the arena, and he kept trying to get in and started dressing up. I believe that was his last appearance in the Fed, no?
That was actually during the first episode of Monday Night Raw. Back when Rob Bartlett was doing commentary. Heenan stayed on with the company for the majority of 1993. His last appearance was Gorilla throwing Bobby out of an episode of Raw/the WWF.
I'm not promoter, but wouldn't have been smarter to ANNOUNCE that Tito Ortiz would be on Impact rather than give some stupid-ass gimmick for less than a week?
So they're gonna write Rampage back out, set up a Bellator fight between him and Tito, and blow off the MEM vs. A&8s feud in 2 weeks? EVERYTHING IS FINE!
Well, two days until I see TNA LIVE! Going with my best friend (pretty much quit watching any wrestling after Guerrero/Benoit... but more because he just didn't care anymore) and a pair of younger cousins (Hardy MARKS, but not watching much lately either. But they've been to a Live RAW a couple years back.).
As for me... only my second live wrestling event, and I don't remember much about my first. It was almost 25 years ago... had to be near the end of Mid-South.
Was this show as bad as everyone is making it out to be or are people just dumping on it because bashing TNA at will is the cool thing to do these days because they're in near financial ruin? I really want to know as I didn't see tonight's show.
Hulk Hogan not letting Taz into the arena? Go Hulkster.
ReplyDeleteOh my God... HULK HOGAN is getting kayfabe credit for something intelligent? Yep, end of the world.
ReplyDeleteThat open felt like that episode of RAW when The Brain was barred from the arena, and he kept trying to get in and started dressing up. I believe that was his last appearance in the Fed, no?
ReplyDeleteBeen a while since I've done one of these live threads.
ReplyDeleteI always like JB on commentary!
Correct, right before he went to WCW.
ReplyDeleteI do too, though I'd take a pineapple over Taz on commentary.
ReplyDelete"the common denominator of greatness"...
ReplyDeleteNo, that's not good Austin. Just stick to the Greatest Man.
It's gonna be Ortiz, guys.
ReplyDeleteIt's TNA. "Mystery guys" never work out well.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY hate the 'What?' stuff.
ReplyDeleteWHAT?
ReplyDeleteThese two are doing fine just ignoring the chant. But again, use a different tone/pace if you really want to defuse those chants.
ReplyDeleteRoode needs to get the title back.
ReplyDeleteAgree on both points.
ReplyDeleteThe mystery man is Suicide.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many copies of Micke James' album have sold.
ReplyDeleteWhat a dumb finish.
ReplyDeleteNICE. "Hey ref, not my fault the ring's full of glass. Must be some asshole fan."
ReplyDeleteAlso, no blood? Boo.
TNA: We use out-of-date, idiotic finishes.
ReplyDeleteProbably not in TNA's plans... but how did Bobby win the World Title in the first place?
ReplyDeleteHe should win (or lose) every match for the rest of the BFG Series in that manner. See how many inventive ways he can get away with using the bottle.
Didn't she get her fans to pay for her to record it?
ReplyDeleteThe one eyed man leading the blind... that's this promo.
ReplyDeleteWhite limo? That's Ric Flair!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry guys, the hummer limo is just a rental.
ReplyDeleteThere's Taeler's weekly salary put to god use. (fart noise)
ReplyDeleteI bet the guy in the white limo was talking to the guys in the back all day long.
ReplyDeleteThe real question is WHO is driving the white Hummer.
ReplyDeleteBischoff.
ReplyDeleteIf someone told me twelve months ago that Abyss could turn into Joseph Park so easily... I'd have yelled BULLSHIT! to the heavens.
ReplyDeleteBut he's nailed it.
They should of made a workout program when Scott Steiner was with the company.
ReplyDeleteStep One : Take Steroids!
ReplyDeleteONE, FAT ASSES!
ReplyDeleteTWO, HUNH!
THREE, YOU'RE FAT!
FOUR, I'M HUNGRY!
Why on earth did TNA pass on Brian Cage during Gut Check in order to take Jay Bradley?
ReplyDeleteThat was botchy.
ReplyDeleteThat was implied but never confirmed. I still think it was Sable.
ReplyDeleteThat's putting it nicely.
ReplyDeleteAnd now the universe is mostly back in line. Just gotta get Park above zero somehow.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of Park and EY together.
ReplyDeleteOdds on Bully/Aces interference in Sabin/Manik: NO BETTING ALLOWED. TOO OBVIOUS.
ReplyDelete-10000
ReplyDeleteNeed at least a couple more zeroes.
ReplyDeleteThat was actually during the first episode of Monday Night Raw. Back when Rob Bartlett was doing commentary. Heenan stayed on with the company for the majority of 1993. His last appearance was Gorilla throwing Bobby out of an episode of Raw/the WWF.
ReplyDeleteThey could have a really enjoyable lower mid-card feud with Robbie E and Jesse, IMO
ReplyDeleteSo who's the mystery man?!
ReplyDeleteHI ELVY! Nice of you to lurk around and "approve" our posts.
ReplyDeleteShould have, not should of.
ReplyDeleteGood match. And no Aces? Color me shocked.
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously. Ah, there's Bully. Just a little late/on time.
Damnit. End the video, and pan back to Tazz... or more accurately, Tazz's corpse on the ground outside the stretch Hummer, with no one nearby.
ReplyDeleteJust an orange stain left on the ground...
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else notice the Manik/Suicide outfit always makes the guy wearing it look smaller than they are?
ReplyDeleteGod, the day this team gets broken up will be one of the saddest OR most awesome days ever. No middle ground.
ReplyDeleteSomeone should tell ODB that her dress is too short. Poor thing.
ReplyDeleteChris Gaines works about as well as a wrestling character as he did as a rock star.
ReplyDeleteOr a baseball player.
ReplyDeleteYou could say...
ReplyDelete(puts sunglasses on)...
Snuffy got snuffed.
YEAH!!!
Back to school! Get a program to a show you've never attended! Hooray!
ReplyDeleteKing Mo is ready to meet his favorite Disney princess with his tiara on.
ReplyDeleteGail Kim is so hot.
ReplyDeleteSo Dixie is letting this mysterious person who has essentially sent threats to her company into the building? A bit risky, no?
ReplyDeleteTNA Security: Unless you're Tazz, come right on in.
ReplyDeleteTito Ortiz.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think of that. So yeah, an employee of the company isn't being allowed to do his duty, but a guy making creepy videos is given air time.
ReplyDeleteShe's trying to get on his good side because he has good credit.
ReplyDeleteConsider this my +1/-1 scoring of this post.
ReplyDeleteWait... IT'S MATT MORGAN!
ReplyDelete(Didn't he get his release recently?)
All right, whoever got around to finally letting Aries borrow their Lincoln dvd really fucked up. He looks ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteGive these two 30+ for either the title or even the #1 Contender spot.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hebner FUCKS up the finish. Shit.
ReplyDeleteThat finish was, umm, different.
ReplyDeleteWhat ... just happened? The finish was bizarre and then it just like, cuts away to something else. The segment just ended so abruptly.
ReplyDeleteNO NEED TO SOAK IN THE MOMENT
ReplyDeleteHmm... 5 minutes and they have this offer thing and the surprise guy to go. Great time management.
ReplyDeleteIt's Tito Ortiz. There, I saved your time and disappointment.
ReplyDeleteI feel like I'm watching the cast of Suits call out the Sons of Anarchy.
ReplyDeleteThey must be intertwined or something. Either way, they have three mintues.
ReplyDeleteUm, if that's all Aces have left... they've lost already. Five on Five would be more like Five on Two and 3/4ish.
ReplyDeleteOkay, who's heading back to WWE soon?
ReplyDeleteI thought it was an offer they couldn't refuse? No answer was given.
ReplyDeleteWell, there's your answer.
ReplyDeleteAhhh there we go, though Tenay is saying how could they accept it.
ReplyDeleteDANA WHITE? Oh wait, nvmd.
ReplyDeleteI'm not promoter, but wouldn't have been smarter to ANNOUNCE that Tito Ortiz would be on Impact rather than give some stupid-ass gimmick for less than a week?
ReplyDeleteTito Santana > Tito Ortiz
ReplyDeleteLol no one cared in the audience. This really is like the end of WCW
ReplyDeleteDana White doing something like Shane at the last Nitro would be pretty damn cool. Not gonna happen, but still an interesting thought.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that reveal was FLAT.
I don't know if it's just me or not but it looked like he was getting one hell of an anti-pop from the crowd.
ReplyDeleteHe kind of looks like Dana with the bald head.
ReplyDeleteSo they're gonna write Rampage back out, set up a Bellator fight between him and Tito, and blow off the MEM vs. A&8s feud in 2 weeks? EVERYTHING IS FINE!
ReplyDeleteOh, TNA...
ReplyDeleteFUCKING HERNANDEZ WAS THE MYSTERY GUY?!
ReplyDelete...huh? that wasnt hernandez? i dont realize tna was allowed to have 2 jacked bald latinos
The second one's just passing through. Hopefully.
ReplyDeleteThey were absolutely dead, which doesn't bode well for next week's show, which was taped after this one.
ReplyDeleteImpact and then Doom? They should now rename 1,000 Ways to Die to 1,001 ways to die.
ReplyDeleteSpike can play those movies all they want... Rock's not walking through that door. Ever.
ReplyDeleteLOLTNA
ReplyDeleteWell, two days until I see TNA LIVE! Going with my best friend (pretty much quit watching any wrestling after Guerrero/Benoit... but more because he just didn't care anymore) and a pair of younger cousins (Hardy MARKS, but not watching much lately either.

ReplyDeleteAs for me... only my second live wrestling event, and I don't remember much about my first. It was almost 25 years ago... had to be near the end of Mid-South.
also... no hogan (in person)
ReplyDeleteOther than the clip from last week, I don't think there was any Hulk. And Brooke only popped up to harass Bully for a minute.
ReplyDeleteTito Santana returns, Ariba!
ReplyDeleteTito Santana could both get a better reaction and put on a better match than Tito Ortiz. Any time.
ReplyDeleteAs opposed to a roster full of jacked white guys? Racist much?
ReplyDeleteWas this show as bad as everyone is making it out to be or are people just dumping on it because bashing TNA at will is the cool thing to do these days because they're in near financial ruin? I really want to know as I didn't see tonight's show.
ReplyDeletelets see:
ReplyDeletejacked
bald
latinos
paler skin
no facial hair
also, mason ryan looks like a young batista. theyre both honkies. i'ms a honky
OMG
