Just been posted on the Team 3D Academy facebook page, the former Betsy Ruth/Rosie Lottalove in TNA has lost 127 lbs. Now ok the photo on the left is of her character but my god does she look different

to be honest a lot of those are easy to forget like

The crowd is going to be packed for Team 3D vs The Hardys vs The Wolves in a TLC match, however packed it could be should i say. But i'm starting to get a feeling that TNA are like an American version of any British wrestling promotion, i mean watching the latest episode and even past ones seeing wrestlers clap to get the crowd going just to me is like how it works with British wrestling. I mean even though you can have shit wrestlers in the WWE, you'll never see people like Rosa Mendes or Brie Bella clapping to get the crowd going.

Another match added to the Bound for Glory card

 

 

Andy Wu & Hijo Del Pantera Vs. Kuroshio Ikemen Jiro & Yusuke Kodama. Also it seems like the X-Division title is on the line in the match mentioned previously but the Knockouts isn't

 

I wouldn't just say The Romantic Touch is just a nickname, here he is 

Some intriguing names in that 500. Not just to do with rankings or anything, just that their names are interesting.

 

The Romantic Touch? This guy is also known as Rhett Titus

 

Chessman? This is Chessman

 

Stupefied? This is Stupefied oh and so is this 

 

Psycho Clown (another AAA star, alongside Murder Clown and another clown)

 

Lucky tHURTeen just conjures up kick pads and pleather.

 

Once you get into the lower 300s, there are all manner of odd names: Josef Von Schmidt, who I'd hope is an old school German villain, - That he is, he actually wrestles in the UK from time to time. 

 

Oliver Grimsley!

Johnny Goodtime! - The guy on the right is Johnny Goodtime, the one on the left is Johnny Yuma also wrestled as Lars Only in TNA

Cheeseburger! - This is Cheesburger

So yeah i've filled in the gaps/links for a few of the wrestlers i know. Check them out, oh and Lucky THURTeen wrestles in CZW 

Has anyone seen the interview with "Big" Jon Gaburick? Its kinda interesting but also shite as fuck. He mentions TNA are going to bring back the 6 sided ring, ok thats one thing that did define TNA as TNA but i know i prefer 4 sides because thats a wrestling ring. He mentioned about Styles and Sting and would welcome either back with open arms haha. Mentioned that he would like Sorensen back only if "his" doctors say he is clear to wrestle. Also mentions next weeks show is live, yet will they do something about the hashtag in the corner saying impact live?

I think this certainly deserves its place in the random thoughts because it's random but i feel slightly right about it. Is it only me who thinks that any wrestling promo should be creative and not done in bedroom or in front of a brick wall. I mean really creative and much like the character. Along with that promos shouldn't be filmed on a phone as again to me it just looks like no time or thought was taken into promoting the upcoming event &/or match.

You've no idea how much I'd love to see them re-run the Radicals angle with those three.

 

When those three walked through the crowd to take a seat, 75% of the audience will be thinking 'fucking hell, the security lads are a bit keen'. And the actual security lads will probably drag them back out of site of the camera, them kicking and flailing like toddlers, shouting 'don't you know who we are?'.

 

It'd be ace.

Maybe not "don't you know who we are" after all the Bully Ray "Do you know who i am" crap. However got to love the E.G.O. Hall of Fame segment this week even if the ending was a bit crap, and i agree with the other person on the whole voice over thing, it was genius.

Apparently BFG will air on PPV in India, and according to "news sites" its the first ever Wrestling PPV that will air in India

They've announced a gauntlet match for the countdown to bound for glory show (i actually preferred when they called this before the bell). It features Bro-Mans, Abyss & Eric Young, Kaz & Daniels and Chavo & Hernandez.

I watch none of them. Anyway, Jersey Shore looks to be a draw there.

I'm sure they had the help of TMZ and other news channels reporting about them which might have helped taking the Jersey Shore audience over to the show, which if they could do something similar with trends of TV they could have decent tv ratings, hell getting the guys from Breaking Bad, or those in Agents of SHIELD to be on the show once or twice could be enough.

Fucking hell, of all the videos on their Youtube page, those are the most viewed? I don't even know what that suggests, but it's fucking shocking either way.

I will admit it's pretty good to see that Kong winning the belt has plenty of views but the fact it is top is just wrong. I mean i love that it has plenty of views like i just said as this shows how good the KO division was back then.

Random tidbit about TNA just hitting up the most popular videos on their youtube the top 10 are:

I thought they had cut ties with them, but I looked it up and apparently not.

 

They still have Cliff Compton, and apparently Elijah Burke is the TV Champion for some reason, and of course, Rockstar Spud.

Yeah Burke came to OVW recently and won the title (no shock there). However like you state Cliff Compton is someone that should be up there and given a chance, along with that i think Jamin Olivencia could work well in the X-Division if it wasn't all cruiserweights

Thats one thing i think would benefit TNA for the KO Division if they had a deal with SHINE or SHIMMER where until the tapings for their shows they have x amount of the women from either promotion turn up and wrestle matches on national and international tv which can give these women a bit more exposure and hey their fans then might start going to IMPACT. Likewise it'd be good to see them hook up with local promotions when they are touring having say 2/3 guys like mentioned previously to have shots on the show, maybe 1/2 jobs and the other is in a kinda gutcheck style match (however instead of the judges it just does depend on over 50% of the fans voting for them), and then new stars can be created.

What are your thoughts folks?

AAA upload AAA shows themselves so just search for 'AAA Lucha Libre' on YouTube. Google 'luchablog' for CMLL and IWRG videos. Or search for that channel on YouTube.

Thank you, i used to watch it before, not regularly however tried to keep up with it and as such i'm going to attempt to do it again

Some guy I follow on Twitter joked the other day that with the cost-cutting, Bound for Glory will probably have a "Fired or Fired" match.

Just having watched the one with the rules i've noticed they've fired Daniels from it twice, once as himself and obviously the second time as Curry Man

- As in something like this? TNA's Feast or Fired?

 

I wasn't as avid a viewer of the Impact product then, but my understanding is that it was like a rip off of Money in the bank while completely missing the point. Wasn't each case random, so really they were fighting for the case they liked the look of? And who would sign up for a match where they might be fired even if they"win"?

 

It doesnt have to be a ladder or "on a pole" match. You could have a six pack challenge, a mini tournament, even a battle royal... the prize could even be for something like guaranteed entry in next years BFG (although I wouldn't make any long term plans in TNA right now...)

I guess Aries is the most notable miss here, plus a Knockouts match. And with my second edit i've remembered Kurt Angle. I'd just have him and Aries wrestle. Find a reason and the match will be great whatever.

Kurt Angle's just came out of rehab. For the first time in a decade he's off pain medication for a extended period of time. I imagine his body is feeling like its been destroyed in a car pileup. He shouldn't be thinking about wrestling for a good while. Anything is possible with TNA, though. TNA and Kurt Angle are a horrible mix. A bloke who doesn't care about his health and a company who doesn't care about his health.

 

Probably I'm thinking of is that there are no heels. I'm finding it hard to think of a match for Aries, Hardy, Joe and Sting. This card is an impossible task just to fantasy book.

 

Maybe a money in the bank type match? I don't necessarily mean a multiple ladder match with the winner getting a title shot, but some sort of multi man match where everyone gets a spot to shine, with a prize hanging in the balance (title match, open contract for any match, maybe even a stipulation overturn pass where the winner gets to cancel any stipulation in TNA history, letting them bring back Jarrett, Bichoff or giving Sting another title match).

 

Okay, so the last one's a bit crap.

Anyone know where i can watch some mexican wrestling (as in AAA/CMLL) and same goes for Japanese Wrestling (like the ones they show on tv and that)?

Has anyone got any more details about the wolfpack lot doing a stand up show tour over here in November? Seems to be all over halls twitter but not much info

http://ministryofslam.com/uk_take_over.php there you go

Apparently Ireland's Joey Cabray has already been cut from NXT, as has Malik Omari who was formerly Zulu Prince/Warrior over here on the All Star circuit.

 

Vader's son, Jake Carter has also gone too, apparently.

Yes Joey isn't listed on the NXT roster on the website anymore same for Malik.

Vader's son? Disappointing.

It sounds well but i wondered how long it would take for them to get rid of him. Hopefully back to Japan for him either that or american indies and possibly TNA. Seriously could see him in there and become a main eventer

I'd love to see JR with something to prove get brought into a rebooted promotion. We might get decent commentary rather than the shit he spouted towards the end of his TV WWE run & Taz needs to fuck off. As much shit as Don West deservedly got back then Taz has really made me miss the guy.

Thing was that while West wasn't the best commentator they had, the one thing that Don West was great at was selling their shit products. Hell even seeing this online

http://shoptna.com/insane-brown-bag-special-fig.aspx - the guy doing this sounds shit at selling. "We got a bigger warehouse and we got a lot of stock coming in" then "we're full of DVD's" because no one is buying stuff online. I've followed TNA for years now Don West made this company money easily

On the subject of Anderson being shit, this was the only time that i actually liked his work
