KENTA debut idea: when they bring him out tomorrow with Flair to introduce him, Steen debuts as well, and lays KENTA the fuck out. Establish Steen as NXTs super heel and throw them both into a major feud right away.
I say debut them both as unlikely tag partners who IMMEDIETLY squash The Ascension. They carry the belts for a few months. Always an odd couple. Always a moment away from turning on each other. Eventually they lose the belts clean, but Steen lays KENTA out afterwards leading to a LONG singles feud between the two without a definitive ending before they are both called up to the main roster. Keep them semi apart for a long while before continuing the feud in the big leagues.
Ooofffff...can someone help me out. I've just been informed I have a choice of watching either Devil's Due or Transcendence. They both look god awful. I'll probably default vote for the horror movie because its shorter but it looks like a rip off of Paranormal Activity which is already played out (it was definitely cool in its time though).
Does anyone know if transcendence is as bad as it looks? Cuz wow it looks bad
I'm 34 and I've probably seen, I don't know, twenty or thirty of these "we're gonna go bomb 'em good" speeches, they seem less and less important really.
England had it right, if you want to secure resources in a foreign land you have to stay forever otherwise you're just going to keep going back every generation.
A lot of people assumed WWE postponed (or abandoned entirely) the Kofi-Woods-Big E stable because of Ferguson, Mo., but is there any chance they held off because they didn't want to be accused of copying TNA's MVP-Lashley-King stable? Does WWE even care like that about what people think about them and TNA?
I have no doubt someone is going to interrupt, but I had a feeling it would be some low guy on the totem pole and KENTA would smash him. I think they should use his debut to run a big angle. But yeah, Devitt works too.
That would make KENTA look weak. He could just cut an awesome promo, call him out and tag him with a cheap shot and then they get into a pull apart brawl. Instant feud.
It'd also work if they really want KENTA to be the face of the company in Japan because he never worked New Japan so him and Devitt is a brand new dream match.
I'm watching Impact in an alternate reality tonight. Joe, KENTA, AJ, Steen, Generico, Moxley, The Wolves, Danielson are all tearing it up. And CM Punk just signed with them last week. It's awesome.
Because he debuted in the same promotion as Kenta Kobashi (who trained him) and his full name is Kenta Kobayashi, so it made it easier to differentiate between the two.
EY is a great worker. It's a real shame he wasted his prime years doing comedy stuff when they had literally dozens of stiffs who could have done it instead.
I know I'm generalizing, but I feel like many of the same people who say WWE needs legit competition from another promotion to get back to their glory days (those who pine for the days of WCW and/or ECW being around) are also those who seem to be taking glee in watching TNA fail. Shouldn't we as wrestling fans in general want TNA to succeed?
They've had many chances to succeed. And managed to blow every one through their own shitty booking. The name, the company is not worth saving, even though some/most of the wrestlers are.
You know, it might also show the benefit of taping weeks in advance. With all the tapings over 72 hours, you're looking into a month or so of content whereas Vince spazzes out hundreds of times a script, thousands of times a month
And why the fuck doesn't Devon get them ahead of time? Dude's going to hurt his back overextending after all the fisticuffs when he could have them lined up early.
Speaking of/but not speaking of/but thinking of set ups and payoffs, with the Dusts going heel, did they ever do anything with the cosmic key or whatever they were babbling out? Was still hoping for DustyDust, but have drastically limited my WWE watching of late
I read an article today about some guy buying a used Paige shirt, a painting of Paige, and another sign Paige shirt for a total of $13,000 through WWE Auctions. LOL what a creep.
Yeah but in his debut it might not be such a good idea cause he looks like a punk from the get go. Maybe they do the pull apart brawl and KENTA gets the upper hand momentarily and then Steen lays him out.
Can't believe Ric Flair made it to the show. Wonder why he brought the WWF Winged Eagle title though?
ReplyDeleteI liked that first match.
ReplyDeleteTNA. Really makes ya think, you know?
ReplyDeleteMelendez was solid technically... just needs a better finisher.
ReplyDeleteNot terrible, no. I promise I mean this in a non-jerk way, but I was curious what was going to happen if he got irish whipped.
ReplyDeleteSorry I forgot about the thread tonight.
ReplyDeleteWatching the President as we are declaring an attack on ISIL
There's not much else he can use unless they get him a leg that can bend.
ReplyDeleteWhy does he keep calling it that?
ReplyDeleteIt's the real name.
ReplyDeletePrioritising Obama over TNA would get you banned from some message boards.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the save, Stranger
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know - I didn't know this was happening.
ReplyDeleteThis not a ground war sure sounds a lot like a ground war.
ReplyDeleteI once had a neighbor who had the name Isil, wonder how she feels about the name now?
ReplyDeleteAm I overly jaded or just down cycling bipolar that I could care less? Same old shit, different face sending people to die over bullshit
ReplyDeleteNo "Deal With It," Stranger? You're losing your touch.
ReplyDeleteIt's weird watching this while commenting on a wrestling blog.
ReplyDeleteProbably the same way girls named Katrina feel.
ReplyDeleteWell, the ones living on the Gulf Coast...
What, the president speech or TNA?
ReplyDeleteKitchen Nightmares?
ReplyDeleteHeh. I meant the President stuff, but yes to both.
ReplyDelete...adding....not to say it doesn't suck for the poor guys/gals being sent over there to die, but christ, nothing ever changes
ReplyDeleteBobby Roode seems to have a stars & stripes themed shirt.
ReplyDeleteWhich is a bit odd.
Of course.
ReplyDeleteWar, war never changes.
KENTA debut idea: when they bring him out tomorrow with Flair to introduce him, Steen debuts as well, and lays KENTA the fuck out. Establish Steen as NXTs super heel and throw them both into a major feud right away.
ReplyDeleteIs Flair involved in NXT in some way? I haven't watched in a while.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, sir.
ReplyDeleteWould have been funny if at the MMA show, when Lashley won his match, several TNA marks got up and started to chant, "He's legit! He's legit!"
ReplyDeleteHe will be introducing him.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that Flair was going to be there to introduce him but I think it's just a one off deal to put him over for people who don't know him.
ReplyDeleteI say debut them both as unlikely tag partners who IMMEDIETLY squash The Ascension. They carry the belts for a few months. Always an odd couple. Always a moment away from turning on each other. Eventually they lose the belts clean, but Steen lays KENTA out afterwards leading to a LONG singles feud between the two without a definitive ending before they are both called up to the main roster. Keep them semi apart for a long while before continuing the feud in the big leagues.
ReplyDeleteI've got the touch......I've got the poweerrrrrr!
ReplyDeleteLashley won an MMA fight?
ReplyDeleteI haven't really paid attention to the last five or six war declarations.
ReplyDeleteI bet they do something similar, but with Devitt instead of KENTA and they have a feud
ReplyDeleteTop 5 Hottest Current Women in Wrestling:
ReplyDelete1. Dixie Carter
2. Charlotte
3. Rebel
4. Alexa Bliss
5. Brittany
He's 11-2
ReplyDeletewrong
ReplyDeleteIf you're gonna put Steen in a tag team, it has to be with Zayn.
ReplyDeleteKenny King doing the quivering bottom lip faces while Roode does his heart and passion promo is great stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even aware of the stuff you guys are talking about. I should feel ashamed for not knowing but I don't.
ReplyDeleteLiked his reaction when MVP punched Roode.
ReplyDeleteOoofffff...can someone help me out. I've just been informed I have a choice of watching either Devil's Due or Transcendence. They both look god awful. I'll probably default vote for the horror movie because its shorter but it looks like a rip off of Paranormal Activity which is already played out (it was definitely cool in its time though).
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if transcendence is as bad as it looks? Cuz wow it looks bad
Alexa Bliss
ReplyDeleteAJ
Naomi
Cameron
Steph
Where the fuck is Candace LeRay and Sara Del Rey?
ReplyDeleteI'm 34 and I've probably seen, I don't know, twenty or thirty of these "we're gonna go bomb 'em good" speeches, they seem less and less important really.
ReplyDeleteEngland had it right, if you want to secure resources in a foreign land you have to stay forever otherwise you're just going to keep going back every generation.
Both are pretty bad. Transcendence really disappointed me.
ReplyDeleteDixie being on that list makes it invalid, no matter who else is on it.
ReplyDeleteIt's been done. WWE will instead do the exact same bit, but with KENTA.
ReplyDeleteHere is your Shitbag of the Week winner
ReplyDeletehttp://news.msn.com/crime-justice/loving-father-now-tied-to-his-5-kids-deaths
One is in PWG and the other trains the females in NXT.
ReplyDeleteI'd say watch Transcendence, at least Freeman can make it a little better.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware you had a thing for lazy eyes.
ReplyDeleteDixie over Tessmacher is grounds for a ban, IMO
ReplyDeleteI mean in your list. It needs those 2.
ReplyDeleteEh. Both are hot, but not top 5.
ReplyDeleteOr at least a paddlin'.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people assumed WWE postponed (or abandoned entirely) the Kofi-Woods-Big E stable because of Ferguson, Mo., but is there any chance they held off because they didn't want to be accused of copying TNA's MVP-Lashley-King stable? Does WWE even care like that about what people think about them and TNA?
ReplyDeleteI have no doubt someone is going to interrupt, but I had a feeling it would be some low guy on the totem pole and KENTA would smash him. I think they should use his debut to run a big angle. But yeah, Devitt works too.
ReplyDeleteWith paddles?
ReplyDeleteOMG I forgot Tessmacher. Let me do a new list.
ReplyDelete1. Dixie Carter
2. Miss Tessmacher
3. Rebel
4. Alexa Bliss
5. Charlotte
Not even slightly.
ReplyDeleteThey copy TNA from time to time
ReplyDeleteYour list is not valid because of Dixie.
ReplyDeleteYou better believe that's a'paddlin'
ReplyDeleteIs Lashley good in MMA?
ReplyDeleteShould I watch: PWG Eleven or ROH All Star Extravaganza 6 first?
ReplyDeleteHe beats cans. 11-2.
ReplyDeleteThat is true, I still think that's how we got Hunico and Camacho.
ReplyDeleteThat would make KENTA look weak. He could just cut an awesome promo, call him out and tag him with a cheap shot and then they get into a pull apart brawl. Instant feud.
ReplyDeleteNo big dogs.
ReplyDeleteIt'd also work if they really want KENTA to be the face of the company in Japan because he never worked New Japan so him and Devitt is a brand new dream match.
ReplyDeleteEvening everyone, I'm happy.
ReplyDelete1.Brooke
ReplyDelete2.fandangos girl
3.Tara
4.Lana
5.AJ
Steen is really good on the mic but i bet they have debut him after Devitt, who got to NXT first.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Rhett Titus is still bitter about Kenny leaving him high and dry.
ReplyDeleteI'm watching Impact in an alternate reality tonight. Joe, KENTA, AJ, Steen, Generico, Moxley, The Wolves, Danielson are all tearing it up. And CM Punk just signed with them last week. It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteHe's now a comedy fodder in ROH.
ReplyDeleteOh Kenny. That pool was quite empty.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Why is it KENTA and not Kenta?
ReplyDeleteYou've seen both? Is transcendence worth the extra 30 minutes
ReplyDeleteSounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Flair is there scouting or just to watch for fun?
ReplyDeleteWho's booking?
ReplyDeleteNah. They both suck pretty harsh.
ReplyDeleteBoth suck. Hard.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you watching again?
ReplyDeletePaul Heyman.
ReplyDeleteImpact. Flair is sitting there in about the fourth row almost center.
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't make him look weak at all. Wrestlers have been getting Pearl Harbor'd since the beginning of time.
ReplyDeleteBecause he debuted in the same promotion as Kenta Kobashi (who trained him) and his full name is Kenta Kobayashi, so it made it easier to differentiate between the two.
ReplyDeleteDon't know why, it's just that it's always been written like that.
ReplyDeleteBlonde wig, title belt, sunglasses?
ReplyDeleteWOOOO!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about that guy as well.
ReplyDeleteIs WWE going to change his name?
ReplyDeleteEddie Gilbert.
ReplyDeleteGedo & Jado.
ReplyDeleteThat guy is about 30 years and 30,000 unpaid bar tabs short of Flair.
ReplyDeleteHeyman of course. He just cut an awesome promo with TNA champ Brock Lesnar.
ReplyDeleteNo WWE guy should ever be seen at Impact, remember what happened to on of the Highlanders?
ReplyDeleteThey've been hyping him for a few weeks as Kenta, so I don't think so. They'll decapitalise it though I think.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what his forehead looks like...
ReplyDeleteThat was fairly impressive, even if Lashley "helped".
ReplyDeleteThey're both horrible, dude. I would put on a pair of those fake glasses with the wide open eyes and go to sleep.
ReplyDeleteEY is a great worker. It's a real shame he wasted his prime years doing comedy stuff when they had literally dozens of stiffs who could have done it instead.
ReplyDeleteYou're champion, getting out powered by the person who won't be facing him.
ReplyDeleteVelvet has shot up my list after that picture... hache mache!
ReplyDeleteWell, it's not like his comedy stuff was a complete waste.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful match.
ReplyDeleteSo Takeover 2 is tomorrow which means I have to renew either tonight or tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhy people still want tables I'll never know....
ReplyDeleteI know I'm generalizing, but I feel like many of the same people who say WWE needs legit competition from another promotion to get back to their glory days (those who pine for the days of WCW and/or ECW being around) are also those who seem to be taking glee in watching TNA fail. Shouldn't we as wrestling fans in general want TNA to succeed?
ReplyDeleteTNA has had legitimately splendid shows for the past couple of months while WWE has put out dog crap. The gap is shrinking.
ReplyDeleteThe nude one?
ReplyDeleteThey've had many chances to succeed. And managed to blow every one through their own shitty booking. The name, the company is not worth saving, even though some/most of the wrestlers are.
ReplyDeleteYes.
ReplyDeleteYeah. Negative people are negative.
ReplyDeleteYeah, the amount of crap TNA has put out recently pales in comparison to WWE.
ReplyDeleteAll I've seen from TNA that was bad is the Shaw stuff.
Take your medicine.
ReplyDeleteI was a big fan anyway... those hot pics in the Yankee gear were great but that took it up another notch.
ReplyDeleteI think it's proof that sometimes less is more. TNA only has 2 hours of TV per week to do something stupid. WWE has 7 hours to mishandle.
ReplyDeleteAgree with that.
ReplyDeleteBrittany with the highlights is a win.
ReplyDeleteActually, he's "technically" right for once. Although shrinking the Grand Canyon by six inches still makes it the Grand Canyon.
ReplyDeleteAngelina > Velvet
ReplyDelete"Uh, he's seeing some therapists for his problems?"
ReplyDeleteI'm calling this a Bro Mans burial.
ReplyDelete"technically".
ReplyDeleteWrong. Angelina's face is horrible.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it might also show the benefit of taping weeks in advance. With all the tapings over 72 hours, you're looking into a month or so of content whereas Vince spazzes out hundreds of times a script, thousands of times a month
ReplyDeleteCome on Gunner...
ReplyDeleteAre the guidos and Beautiful People babyfaces now?
ReplyDeleteNo.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Rebellllllllllllllll
ReplyDeleteNot yet.
ReplyDeleteSo, Rebel is back?
ReplyDeleteRebels rear is outta control
ReplyDeleteAnd why the fuck doesn't Devon get them ahead of time? Dude's going to hurt his back overextending after all the fisticuffs when he could have them lined up early.
ReplyDeleteThis is a goofy tag match setup...
ReplyDeleteThis is indyrific.
ReplyDeleteThe Menagerie better get the money sometime soon, I like to see how they will advance that part of the story.
ReplyDeleteI think they've probably forgotten about that stuff by now.
ReplyDeleteI like Steve as the "jobber bitch" of the group.
ReplyDeleteThey mentioned it last week.
ReplyDeleteWe want Velvet? You guys don't want Rebel?
ReplyDeleteThey just mentioned it a few minutes ago.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of/but not speaking of/but thinking of set ups and payoffs, with the Dusts going heel, did they ever do anything with the cosmic key or whatever they were babbling out? Was still hoping for DustyDust, but have drastically limited my WWE watching of late
ReplyDeleteI'll give Jesse credit. I thought he was DOA when he debuted.
ReplyDeleteThat was kind if creepy.
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn't that be Angelina?
ReplyDeleteNo one likes her.
ReplyDeleteThe crowd better appreciate that view at the end...
ReplyDeleteI don't know, the key is smoke and mirrors.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Jef when you need him?
ReplyDeleteI read an article today about some guy buying a used Paige shirt, a painting of Paige, and another sign Paige shirt for a total of $13,000 through WWE Auctions. LOL what a creep.
ReplyDeleteHey, a guy who might not be in the company much longer. Or should I say another one.
ReplyDeletehey how come dj z doesnt get a girl??
ReplyDeleteThey haven't signed Lacey Von Erich back? Madison's happy not being with TBP?
ReplyDeleteunder her red booty shorts was a texas long horns logo, idk if it was a tat or another pair of panties.
ReplyDeletePale joke. Ha ha.
ReplyDeleteHaven 't seen Devil's Due. Transcendence is pretty boring and hokey.
ReplyDeleteI heard Paul Heyman, but when I looked up, I saw Bully Ray.
ReplyDeleteFunny these guys are in way better shape in their 40s than they were in their 20s.
ReplyDeleteAngle going back to the WWE would make me so happy.
ReplyDeleteYeah but in his debut it might not be such a good idea cause he looks like a punk from the get go. Maybe they do the pull apart brawl and KENTA gets the upper hand momentarily and then Steen lays him out.
ReplyDeleteI really beleive in the direction Impact is going right now. Sure. That's why you contacted Hunter and Vince.
ReplyDeleteHe's making an announcement in 2 weeks. I bet he either re-signs with TNA, or signs with WWE, GFW, NJPW, ROH, or retires.
ReplyDeleteSo while changing the channel, I saw Dirty Jobs was on.......on Animal Planet that is.
ReplyDeleteIs that you Meltzer?
ReplyDeleteHe'll sign with CZW just to make you wrong.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteYou have to listen to EC3's theme on YouTube to hear the troubles better.
ReplyDeleteThat's not Flair watching from the fourth row. That's Tommy Rich.
ReplyDeleteWell then I hope the building has fire extinguishers because there's going to be a WILDFIRE!
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Greg Valentine, except he didn't look that young in high school.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I see that Flair in the forth row, and I think of Cool Trainer Bret's avatar in a wig.
ReplyDeleteHe and Parallax both left in the past week. People are dropping like flies.
ReplyDeleteLot of spontaneous matches tonight.
ReplyDeleteOnly half true.
ReplyDeleteI still hope Loser is ok.
ReplyDeleteThey left?
ReplyDeleteOne left, one is taking a break.
ReplyDeleteParallax took a break. We all miss him. Bret left due to his controversial opinions and obsessive Fire Pro Wrestling simulations
ReplyDeleteWas one of them fake Farva in the Saturday evening thread or something?
ReplyDeleteThe FPW part is something I wasn't aware of.
ReplyDeleteNo. Didn't find that out. Was guessing Mr. Satan given he specifically attacked Brazilian.
ReplyDeleteJury's still out on who was Farva, but that was Lax's last night.
ReplyDeleteLax seemed lefit pissed off over it.
ReplyDeleteEC 3 is going to be a mega huge star.
ReplyDeleteHe was attacking me too, if he was attacking both of us, it would make a lot of sense.
ReplyDeleteAnd before you two, he hated Farva.
ReplyDeleteWe'll keep him in on the suspect list then.
ReplyDeleteHe could have been one if WWE gave him room.
ReplyDeleteSo either this starts the next Knockout title feud, or is an excuse for Havok to kill a bitch.
ReplyDeleteProbably the latter.
I bet Taryn
ReplyDelete... that's a lot of potentially dead women in the ring. Havok...
ReplyDeleteI hope Havok gets the cover.
ReplyDeleteWell I was wrong.
ReplyDelete
