The King of Old School Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Abyss is the worst thing in "mainstream" Wrestling today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slapnut Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 The new set is sick, absolutely love it. Â I hope this doesn't mean Robert Roode is injured or taking time off. I don't know what I'll do without his fired up babyface promos every week. That man defines Impact Wrestling. Â Also, according to another set of results, Desmond Wolfe returned as the commissioner of Xplosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSJLogan Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Pros: New set is lovely, great new look for their TV show. Also liking the new logo, looks powerful. Loving the new colour scheme, a bit smackdownish but a nice change from the eye-sore they had before. Â Cons: ABYSS IS SHIT WHY IS ERIC BISCHOFF IN A MATCH AND GETTING THE PIN AGAINST 2 BROTHERS WHO ARE FUEDING? Is it just me being clueless as to why Samoa Joe is now heel? ABYSS IS SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET! Dreamer is still on TV Â Other than that im also confused as to how Brian Kendrick is now in the limelight leading the charge for the x-division with the help of Fortune, Surely it should be AJ Styles, Daniels and maybe even the x-division champion Kaz leading the charge??? All in all...great new look, same shitty booking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All in all...great new look, same shitty booking. AJ Styles has'nt fought in the X Division in years and Daniels has'nt since they came back, I think Kaz faces Abyss in a rematch at Slammiversary and AJ Styles & Daniels face Bully Ray & Tommy Dreamer.

SSJLogan Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Oh right, fair enough...i still would have booked Kaz to do it over the zen loving Kendrick character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mole Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I'm just guessing about the Slammiversary card, It just looks from the spoilers the way it's going. Â If Roode is "injured", I could see them forcing Storm to find a tag team partner and defending their belts at Slammiversary and with all the Fortune guys busy he chooses Chris Harris and they defend the belts as AMW. Â Roode returns as a singles and is still mates with Storm but is free from the tag ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheman Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 At last night's taping, TNA started a tournament for the first-ever Xplosion championship with the idea that the champion would be able to challenge any champion on Impact. Â In the opening match of the tournament, Pope Dinero defeated Suicide. Â Credit to PWInsider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted May 17, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted May 17, 2011 so Xplosion is being ran as a constant number 1 contender tournament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamtheman Posted May 17, 2011 Author Share Posted May 17, 2011 extra segment that wasnt on the spoilers for some reason not sure where it goes in the show  Sting brings out RVD and gives him props on being a tough challenger at Sacrifice. Lights go out, and when they come back on, Anderson is there dressed as old school surfer Sting, and he attacks the real one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterSee Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 This new Xplosion title doesn't even begin to make sense. In my mind at least. Â Is it itself on the line when its holder is challenging for another title? What happens to it if its holder wins another title, do they hang onto both? Will the Xplosion title-holder be on double-duty when folk are challenging for the Xplosion title, and the Xplosion title-holder is challenging for another title?

Cobra1000 Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Sounds interesting.... Â can't wait to see Ken Anderson as the Stinger, that sounds awesome. Â Lets not forget Bischoff is feuding with the X Division guys like, and he has pinned Terry Funk and Ric Flair in his career so I hardly think one of Gen Me is gonna matter. Abyss is shit, and has always been shit, but hopefully the guy to capture the X Title off him can do wonders. Kaz wasn't doing anything anyway. Â Gonna wait until I see it to pass judgement as always but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamehhh Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Impact Wrestling (Airing 5/26 on Spike TV): Â * Sting's music and video hits but it's really Mr. Anderson out as old school Sting. He says this is the Scorpion Sitdown. Since he can't wrestle due to age he'll sit down and talk. The crowd boos. He brings out his first guest, Disco Inferno. Disco dances out. Sting says you were there, you saw it all. Disco says you really are an ass hole huh? Sting asks him what he did to his injured foot? Disco says for comedy he did on Dancing with the Stars. Can we move on? Loud boring chant starts. Sting says he can get boring and just sits there. Disco tells him to get going. Sting says he was there for guys like Firebreaker Chip and Glacier. Since he was there he wants to hear from Disco's lips what it was like. Disco wondered why he was there and he figures he wants the real story on Sting. Disco starts to talk about Sting but Anderson keeps interrupting woos. Disco says if he brought him here he needs to listen. Back then the belt didn't make the wrestler, the wrestler made the belt. When Sting came around he commanded respect. When he was there he'd help everybody get better and Anderson should kiss Sting's feet for making the business what it is. Anderson interrupts, does a stinger splash to no one. Disco asks why he calls himself an asshole when he's just a jerk. Anderson says excuse me. Disco asks if he stuttered. He gets up dances, has the mic drop down, says jerk into it and stands there. Anderson takes the mic and bashes it in Disco's face. Disco is bloody. Anderson delivers more blows. The real Sting comes out and chases Anderson off through the crowd. Â * Street fight, Tommy Dreamer & Bully Ray vs. Christopher Daniels & AJ Styles. Styles has a neck brace on. Winners via spike piledriver to Dreamer, AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels. Good brawl. Â * Velvet Sky is out. She asks if some of the Knockouts are insane in the membrane with the accusations against her. From Winter saying she's jealous to Karen Jarrett saying she's Angle's mistress to ODB's problem with her. She says she heard she's in the building. ODB comes out and confronts Velvet. ODB says she got a call she was fired 6 months into her multi-year deal. She was told it's because she doesn't have the right look. Velvet said her problem with management has nothing to do with her. Velvet has been working her butt off day after day getting her butt kicked, trying to be the best. ODB tells her to shut her pie hole. ODB says she's pathetic and an embarrassment to the knockouts and women in general. That's why Angelina left her. Velvet starts to cry. ODB mocks her. Velvet goes to leave but ODB attacks her. She is beating and choking Velvet. Security breaks it up but ODB breaks through and attacks Velvet again. Security grabs ODB and Velvet runs off. Â * Eric Young goes into the bathroom to find Gunner. Young goes into a stall that Gunner goes to hit him. Young says hang on. He might have accidentally taken Gunner's belt. He's sorry. He wants to make it up to him and lay down in the ring for Gunner. Gunner says if he doesn't lay down he'll put him down. Â * For the Olympic gold medals, Kurt Angle vs. Jeff Jarrett has been signed for Slammiversary. Â * Matt Morgan vs. Jeff Jarrett w/Karen. Karen's ankle is wrapped and she's using a crutch. Before the match Hebner forces Karen to sit further away from the ring. Winner after interference by Scott Steiner, Jeff Jarrett. Karen distracted the referee and Steiner delivered a flatliner to Morgan. Â * Eric Bischoff is out. He says he loves each and every one of us. He said last week he sat down and had a pow wow with Mick Foley and some network reps. He convinced the reps that Foley is not qualified to be the leader of Impact Wrestling and only one man can do that. That man is the one, the only, Hulk Hogan. Hogan joins Bischoff in the ring. Hogan said all it took was a good old fashioned sit down. He says they realized his genius is second to none. He's back in the saddle and clear saying from now on. He says what Bischoff did last week by taking apart the X Division was great. Mick Foley comes out. Hogan says he's not invited. Foley chants start. Foley says he doesn't need to be, he's a network executive. He says all Hogan accomplished was making the network mad. When Hogan left, Foley showed them how the X Division helped put TNA on the map. So not only does it stay, it will go to new heights. Bischoff says that may be well and good, The Network has nothing to do with the pay-per-view. Foley says the Network is where you promote the PPV so if you think you can have a PPV without the network. Hogan says he still has the pull and why not have his X Division Champion against Foley? The X-rated Abyss vs Foley? Brian Kendrick, Generation Me and Amazing Red come out. Kendrick starts spouting philosophical stuff and saying that they're there for good. Hogan says he better shut-up and leave. Kendrick calls Hogan a cripple. He says he wants to take Foley's place and face Abyss. Hogan asks if he's serious. Hogan agrees and says Kendrick's blood is on Foley's hands. Â * TNA Knockout Women's Champion Mickie James vs. Winter w/Angelina Love in a non-title match. Winner via Last Kiss Goodnight, Mickie James. After the match, Angelina Love came out and attacked Mickie James. Â * For the TNA X Division Championship, Abyss vs. Brian Kendrick. Winner via Black Hole Slam, Abyss. Â * They re-taped the segment with Velvet Sky and ODB to make it shorter and more to the point. Â * For the TNA TV Title, Eric Young vs. Gunner. Winner via small package and new champion, Eric Young. Young laid down but it was a trick and he swerved Gunner. Â * Rob Van Dam vs. Kurt Angle. Winner via Angle Slam, Kurt Angle. Â Xplosion: Â * Robbie E w/Cookie vs. Crimson. Winner via Sky High, Crimson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozzfan Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Disco Fever, yeah yeah yeah yeah! Â They both sound like really enjoyable shows. The X-Division is feuding with fucking Hogan and Bischoff (They get a big push and the smarky smarks still complain. Amazing). Anderson turning proper heel and dressing like surfer Sting sounds great. DISCO! STEINER! E BISCH pinning GenMeShitarse#1! Â Just a shame that 'comedy' Eric Young is TV champ, Tommy Dreamer is being featured prominently and Angle/Jarrett is going on for another bloody month.

Loki Posted May 18, 2011 Share Posted May 18, 2011 Impacts recently seem to start slow, with loads of talking, and then accelerate off so by the end you've enjoyed it. The 25 man battle royal the other week was great. Â How sympathetic a face is Velvet right now? She's getting bullied by everyone. She's also gorgeous, which helps.
