The TNA/Other Discussion

[BigDaveCUFC]

When TNA dies later in year WWE needs to get EC3 back, he's no where near finished with his in ring ability, but he's about the closest I've seen to the Rock in terms of personality, he can easily interact with a crowd and improvise in promo's.......if WWe used his character, but improved his in ring ability (like they can) he could be a big star there.

of course it would mean WWE re-hiring, plus them using a TNA character which both I doubt they'd do.

but if they brought him in trying to be a Cancer to ruin WWE as they cost his Aunt her company..........it could work.

I personly don't get Grado is he ment to be a hard man or effeminate he seems to be trying both

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

I am unsure, I think he's just around to fill numbers at the moment.

If TNA is to somehow survive they need now to break up these groups and build their other guys, Beat Down Clan and rising as individual wrestlers, let MVP and drew Galloway hit around the main event level, with Roode, Eric Young, Bram, keep Bram/Anderson feuding, try and put the smaller guys into more focus.

Their roster is now shattered a lot of their main guys from last 4-5 years have gone, to be honest a Bully Authority Vs EC3 Champ can actually hold the entire ME scene together for a while as both are superb on the mic so segments between both should keep that going for a while, but they lack credible ME wrestlers now.

it isn't hard to build them, 1 year ago Eric Young was a joke comedy jobber, a year later he's a solid ME wrestler after a great year of building, this needs now done with others.

I don't see personally TNA carrying on past October, but if they do its how they need to survive is now pushing new people. I ain't sure if Grado is there as a new guy to their mix or a fill gap so he's got no coverage, but it shows where TNa is struggling which is introducing the new guys more on TV.

MVP has left TNA due to issues with Hernandez breaching Lucha Underground tv contract so he is no longer there

 

[Christian Slater]

This is great -

 

[Stevencc]

Did anyone else catch the first new Impact on the new network?

It was alright - I haven't seen Impact for a while so a few of the faces were new but it was entertaining enough.

Angle referred to Drew Galloway as the future of TNA (please God no). EC3 is great. Seeing Beer Money back together was cool too.

 

[iesty wfc]

Shame storm has gone back to tna. But from what I understand they offered him a much better guaranteed deal than wwe did.

Hoping this is on challenge Sunday?

Yeah it's still on Challenge on Sundays.

 

[Christian Slater]

I can't get my head around them picking up Mike Bennett. They really need someone with that internet buzz about them and he's not the guy, far from.

 

[Stevencc]

I really enjoyed this weeks Impact - I'll probably give it a prolonged watch now and see where it goes.

God help me I even enjoyed a Matt Hardy promo!

(Bobby Lashley is possibly the most boring wrestler I've ever watched though).

 

[Christian Slater]

 

[Tivvyultras]

good to see Beer money back together it makes the tag team division a bit more intresting

 

[PaulWolves]

Is that really Matt Hardys wife?. She's ugly and her tits look terrible.

Jeff don't look that bad does he

 

[PaulWolves]

Decent monsters ball match this week, I really think the Wolves are one of the best tag teams in wrestling anywhere. Also prefer EC3 as a heel, he has great mic skills for a heel.

 

[iesty wfc]

i only watched it because of the Monsters Ball tag match. Decay have quite a niche thing about them and are certainly something different.

Jimmy Havoc from ICW was the random person who showed up before the match also, seems like he is going to get involved with TNA for at least the short term. not seen him wrestle but i believe he is one of the more thought after wrestlers on the British Scene

 

[Christian Slater]

Meltzer has reported that TNA is up for sale. I can only see one buyer and I'm not sure if they'll be too interested, depends on the cost for the tape library and trademarks I suppose.

About time it ended.

 

[Stevencc]

Please no

 

[Christian Slater]

It'd be a good time to aquire the library with Joe and AJ new to the company, as well as them celebrating Sting at 'Mania. Good for a future Kurt Angle career retrospective too.

 

[Stevencc]

You heartless monster.

 

[Christian Slater]

Meltzer reporting, although not confirmed, that Eric Young and Bobby Roode are WWE bound. The latter would be funny seeing as James Storm just burned that bridge by going back to TNA.

 

[iesty wfc]

well they both handed in their notices at TNA and are free agents... ideally Roode comes in night after Wrestlemania - but would he get a big pop? probably not.. as for EY - next Wyatt family member??

and i dont know how savvy James Storm was, he said his decision to re-join TNA was accepted by WWE quite amicabally as they obviously could not compete with what they offered. if Storm has negotiated a free ended contract and no break clauses then he can walk away whenever he wants

 

[ForeverUnited]

TNA have been evicted from their HQ and are now moving to their warehouse according to PWinsider and Meltzer. Sorry state of affairs at TNA. I used to love watching impact every week, but I haven't watched it in months and dont have any interest. They can't be round for much longer surely?

 

[Christian Slater]

If TNA was an animal it would have been shot about two years ago to put it out of its suffering.

Die with dignity.

 

[ccfctommy]

This is how Impact ended last week apparently.

If you watch

 

[ccfctommy]

Bollocks, cannot edit my last post.

Anywho, this is how TNA ended last week. Bizarre.

My lord.

What the fuck?

 

[ccfctommy]

Matt Hardy changes accent three times in one sentence. That hair!

 

[Stevencc]

Did anyone catch the BATSHIT INSANE set of promos and ensuing match between Matt and Jeff Hardy on Impact this week?

Drones!
Fireworks!
Accents!
Motorbike!
Boat!
Lawnmowing!

 

[T.A]

It was horrendous.
