I was there for this taping, but the crowd was too loud for me to hear the final segment. Thanks, DVR. I got the gist, but not the details. It's a good development, though.
ReplyDeleteHeel Sabin/Velvet?
ReplyDeleteI'd be down with that.
Wow Sabin's found a personality and character!
ReplyDeleteMike Vick looks great.
ReplyDeleteIs this a title shot?
ReplyDeleteNo. Manik's actually challenging Hardy.
ReplyDelete...ugh.
ReplyDeleteTURN SABIN!
ReplyDeleteDixie has arrived!
ReplyDeleteGail Kim = Heel
ReplyDeleteTessmacher = Heel
Mickie James = Heel
ODB = Face
Velvet: Out of the ring. Hopefully.
ReplyDeleteThere's an interesting question: TNA Triple Crown winners? (World, Tag, X-Div)
ReplyDeleteStyles, Joe, Abyss, Sabin...? And if we add the TV title to make it a Grand Slam: Abyss and Joe are the only two I think.
Maybe no one respects you because you're like 30 years old and dressed like you're a skateboarder, Sabin.
ReplyDeleteMickie borrowing the Regal "trap them in the apron" spot: +1 star.
ReplyDeleteKurt Angle and Austin Aries are also TNA Triple Crown Winners.
ReplyDeleteForgot Aries (-1 to me)... Angle was X-Div Champ?
ReplyDeleteYeah. He beat Joe and won all the titles. he also was IWGP Champ at the time.
ReplyDeleteAlso AJ had the TV title once.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I have a vague memory of that now.
ReplyDeleteIt was a dark period when Russo was booking. (unlike the dark period where Bischoff was booking.)
ReplyDeleteMickie's top looks like something Fred Flintstone would wear to the beach.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Mickie in those shorts makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteSeeing Mickie makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteNow if they can get Tessmacher in the next segment they will have a hat trick of fine ass.
ReplyDeleteGood job on that call Tenay.
ReplyDeleteBromance!!!
ReplyDeleteBromance needs a woman.
ReplyDelete...well we did get Tessmacher's boyfriend and he IS an ass.
ReplyDeleteThey should have kept Cookie or Tara.
ReplyDeleteThey're running out of women that aren't already paired with someone else.
ReplyDeleteBESMIRCH!
ReplyDeleteOh, William would be so proud.
Nothing you ever do in wrestling will be greater than the fact you see Tessmacher nekkid everyday, Robbie.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd say Tess' ass is worth that kind of loss.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind going on a "Money in the Bank/IC champion" type losing streak for THAT consolation prize.
ReplyDelete"Hey playa's . . . Let's make this a tag team match . . . Holla!"
ReplyDelete"It's QUEEN to make it funny."
ReplyDeleteIT FAILS.
YES it does.
ReplyDeleteNew Sons of Anarchy episode: They find the Geico money man, beat the shit out of him, and have a new income stream.
ReplyDelete"We just came back to tell you...we'll be right back!!!"
ReplyDeleteBetter than doing that during the main event, or any major match (Apologies to Park.)
ReplyDelete...really?
ReplyDeletePoint one way, go another. Good job Jesse.
ReplyDeleteDEAD Bromance in 3, 2, 1...
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to see how Park would react if he was at a blood drive.
ReplyDelete"We still don't have an update on the medical condition of Mr. Anderson."
ReplyDeleteHe's Dead, Mike.
Well they KINDA worked Tessmacher into the next segment.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless that cameraman.
ReplyDeleteMOVE THE FUCKING "UP NEXT" LOGO GATDAMMIT!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBrooke's bandana looks like a diaper.
ReplyDeleteThat would be one hell of a troll move. Everytime Tess's rear would be visible, some random logo/graphic/other gets in the way.
ReplyDelete..she was wearing a bandana?
ReplyDeleteTell him to clean out his locker, Dixie.
ReplyDeleteNow taking bids on that chain: Do I have $100?
ReplyDeleteshe has an upper body?
ReplyDeleteMan, man, man. Some things just aren't right.
ReplyDeleteDon't underrate the boobs.
ReplyDeleteI have erected a monument in my pants in your honor, Brooke.
ReplyDeleteI'd make George South look like Goldberg.
ReplyDelete"I'm the president of the Aces and Eights and there is nothing you can do about it."
ReplyDeleteNo one wants the job, Bully.
Cue unhappy Aces...
ReplyDeleteMulkeymania would run wild.
ReplyDeleteI'd be a Mulkey Brother.
ReplyDeleteWhy does Wes Briscoe remind me Sean Penn when he was in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"?
ReplyDeleteThey're still nobodies Bully.
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, I agree with Bully: Brooke is more important.
ReplyDeleteTANK ABBOTT HAS RESURRECTED!
ReplyDelete-1 for not getting a shot of Brooke walking away, cameraman.
ReplyDeleteMEM still have the advantage over Aces... it would be roughly 3 on 2 1/2... if they weren't so easily distracted.
ReplyDeleteThere needs to be an ass shot every time Brooke enters/exits the ring. Every single time.
ReplyDeleteThey should assign a cameraman to her.
ReplyDelete*writes letter to Dixie Carter*
Try Twitter. It's faster.
ReplyDeleteMachete Kills: Expendables-lite?
ReplyDeleteOh NO. It's the useless Guererro.
ReplyDeleteHernandez: Want to become a permanent face? Border Toss Chavo's carcass on the ramp.
ReplyDeleteOh, great. Chavo with a mic.
ReplyDeleteOh, great. Gunner with a mic.
ReplyDeleteGunner's improving, at least.
ReplyDeleteI guess but I can't take him seriously over the whole '$5 wrestling is destroying the business" interview.
ReplyDeleteSlingshot Suplex: +1 star.
ReplyDeleteChavo, SHUT THE FUCK UP.
ReplyDeleteEleven Knockout Banners, maybe half of them are still with the company?
ReplyDeleteTHIS should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteAnd Sting is now your SENIOR CITIZEN IN PERIL!
ReplyDelete...ow. Joe fucked Roode up.
ReplyDeleteThat was Kaz. And it looked worse on Joe's end.
ReplyDeleteWow..BURN on RVD.
ReplyDeleteAnd Flair... and (maybe) Hogan... and ???
ReplyDeleteMr Styles, you are NOT CM Punk. Good try, but 30 months too late.
ReplyDeleteWasn't bad.
ReplyDeleteWhoa.
ReplyDeleteShould've told him he'd still be selling meat out of the back of a truck in Minneapolis.
ReplyDeleteNo fucking response until she went "Whoa wait." Dixie, you're as heatless as Chavo.
ReplyDeleteOk, yay a new storyline, not just Aces & Eights. And Hogan's almost gone too, things might be on an upturn, we can only hope.
ReplyDeleteBut will it be a DBry/McMahon type storyline whee they keep AJ from winning the title?
ReplyDeleteSigh. When people call TNA "WWE-lite", the last ten minutes makes it really hard to say anything.
ReplyDeletePlaying CM Punk: AJ Styles
Playing a Vince/Steph hybrid: Dixie Carter
This is Summer of Punk 11, if Vince was female.
I'm thinking it's more a copy of Summer of Punk, but I'm fine with that after all the Aces & Eights for 2 years.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good episode, but the WWE vibe at the end just makes it feel wrong. And if this makes Dixie a potential "successor" to Hulk (on-screen role, that is), ugh.
ReplyDeleteNo. When Joe ran into him in the corner and hit him with the kick.
ReplyDeleteYou can't even logically book this as the Summer of Punk that "should have been"
ReplyDeletePunk was already an outsider, so him taking the WWE title to other companies would've fit in right with his character.
Styles, as a TNA Original, would feel so... odd... defending the TNA title in ROH (or indy of your choice) instead of TNA.
Ah... yeah, that sequence looked damn good as a whole, but did feel... off somehow. I didn't catch it cleanly though (good job TNA cameras).
ReplyDeleteActually with the agreements that they have in place it would be easier to see AJ defend the title in Japan or Mexico.
ReplyDeleteEasier to do... but harder to believe, kayfabe-wise.
ReplyDeleteThis actually put Dixie in a weird spot kayfabe wise: Do they support AJ (who just played her out on TV) or Bully Ray? Who does Hogan support? With his contract expiring can they even DO an angle like this?
ReplyDeleteThat's why I made my post below, about Dixie being Hulk's on-screen "successor". That would be so full of fail IMO...
ReplyDeleteUnless that is why Jeff Jarrett came back (or GOD forbid Eric Bischoff.)
ReplyDeleteAgain, if Jarrett's not BOTH booker and talent, it might work. Or Eric as GM... there are way worse ideas out there.
ReplyDeleteThis could go a few ways at least... what role does EGO try to play? The MEM? Aces can pretty much be written off... although if they hadn't been so fucked up, them as a wild card might have been very interesting.
i always associate it with finlay
ReplyDeletethese guys dont get it
ReplyDeletei never got the sense that aj was talking about leaving. yeah he metioned his contract, but i took it more in the sense of he's happy to stay but dixie is gonna have to pay up.
ReplyDeletewith punk, he had no interest in staying at all, and simply wanted the title on the way out as an FU to vince
Dixie came off much more real tonight than she ever had before. Methinks that's how she's actually like non-kayfabe
ReplyDeleteMadison Rayne just gave birth as well. I believe they said she is welcome to come back.
ReplyDeleteVelvet's bad acting just makes him look more exciting.
ReplyDeleteWould whoever gave me the -1 please tell me what it is then? Seriously, no sarcasm. The commercial I saw was a lot of gratuitious violence, and inventive ways to kill people.
ReplyDeleteI'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it did make me think of The Expendables, just with a lot less heroes.
Brooke doesn't seem to be wrestling, more or less eye candy for Bully. Mickie is gone, Taryn is gone. I thought I read somewhere that Velvet wanted time off, same with Gail. Maybe they should've kept Taeler Hendrix when they had her. The KO division is pretty much as dead as the X division. Hell, TNA is pretty much DOA at this point. Thank God for NXT and old school shows on DVD, as I'm giving up on TNA after BFG and watching WWE mostly on Fast Forward now.
ReplyDeleteTNA without Mickie makes me save 2 hours a week. I wish I had the cash to go see Mickie at the comic con in Hamilton next month but last month's in Toronto broke the bank. Mickie is one of the hottest women in not just wrestling but anywhere.
ReplyDeleteSo, who's a worse president Bully Ray or Obama?
ReplyDeleteSadly she's still not entertaining at all. She has about as much charisma as McCool, which is too say none. Anyone else think TNA is circling the drain, unless they pull something major out of this.
ReplyDeleteBush. (either one of 'em.)
ReplyDeleteJust watched the show. If I were in charge, and I'm not, I'd have some deal where AJ wins the belt and then forces Dixie to make changes like bringing back X-Division guys and giving guys like Joe more exposure.
ReplyDelete
