I equated the coming of Hogan and the end of the six-sided ring as the beginning of TNA veering off that cliff. And my point is that they really weren't doing that beforehand, either. This is just a new low, where they seem to be actively trying to not make money, rather than just not making money ...

but yes; it's true. It's gonna be sponsored by 5 Hour Energy. My guess is that they're trying to impress/pacify their sponsors so they're promoting the hell out of the show. That doesn't seem like a bad idea.... A better idea would be actually making money off of a PPV. TNA making money. That is ...

Just look at the amount of text he put in to try and cover it up.

It's okay BRM, I think she's cute too.

Never said she wasn't.

Doing an Expose.... That was a good segment. It established two characters at once. I think she's referring to the fact that you're debuting by striping rather than wrestling or managing someone. I know what she is referring to, and I am saying that it doesn't matter because the segment established ...

ANY version of the Overdrive The Heart Punch (doesn't look like it hurts much, and if we believe the whole "it can legit kill someone" thing, then it should be kayfabe illegal.) The Samoan Spike Crossface Chicken Wing (just doesn't look painful at all) Daizee Haze's Mind Trip (she just sucks at ...

Also I missed it, why so much love for AJ Lee? (Not that I think she's bad. I'm just curious.) She was the PERFECT babyface on NXT. I honestly can't recall ever getting so behind a wrestler a knew so little about for no other reason than pure babyface-ness. Others have quickly captured my ...

No. It's going to be March 3rd all over again. Just a super-hyped Impact in the hope of drawing ratings. It won't be segment free like the Whole FN Show was.

aren't they promoting an IW with "few commercial interruptions" sometime july?

Not that they have announced on TV yet.

When Regal used to go around saying "ALL HAIL KING BOOKER!" some guy brought a sign that said "Aw, hell... King Booker." It was genius!

I always LOVED Taker's Ministry theme as just being awesome. As for fitting the character: The aforementioned Taker music Taker using "Rollin'" Kane's "Out of the Fire" theme Roderick Strong's Theme The Dudleys "Drop the bombshell" and, of course: Jimmy Jacobs' "Ballad of Lacey"

OPENING SEGMENT- Good SIN CARA vs. TED DIBISAE JR- 5.75/10. Sin Cara needs a better finisher. This move looks weak. DON’T GIVE US OLD SH*T! Give this time to matches! DRAGON PROMO- Hooray for pure babyfaces! CODY RHODES vs. DANIEL BRYAN- 6/10. Did anyone else notice the sign saying “Hey Danielson, Mc ...

Why not? If RVD can decide that he is X Division, why not Tara? Realistically, of course, this is the problem with doing an "all" X-Division PPV. the point is, WHY WOULD TARA HYPE THE PPV? Her match is a part of the July 14th show; a show they are obviously building to be a big one. If she were to ...

BEER MONEY PROMO- Good, aside from the part where Roode apparently isn’t cleared to wrestle, but is still being allowed to. Wasn’t this the problem at Slammiversary? BOUND FOR GLORY SERIES MATCH: Beer Money vs. Crimson & Matt Morgan- 5/10. Why the hell are we having a tag team match to help det ...

AWESOME video wire! R.D. Evans is amazing!

ArMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN Alejandro Estrada!

TARA PROMO- ONCE AGAIN they are hyping up Impact instead of a PPV! WTF? Otherwise, this segment was good. she can't really hype a PPV she's not gonna be part of. Why not? If RVD can decide that he is X Division, why not Tara? Realistically, of course, this is the problem with doing an "all" X ...

It depends... nearly all gimmicks, nearly all characters need freshening up every couple of years or so... people get bored of seeing the same shite different night.... sometimes "Humanizing" a character is the only way to freshen a guy up (see Undertaker circa 2001)... sometimes, it just destroys ...

OH… So NOW they decide to enforce the rules of a stip! I do love the way that they used the AAA invasion, though. That was pretty ingenious. Bischoff asks “did you think for a second that I don’t watch my own show?”- Well, now that you mention it… I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, Er ...
