Ross Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I thought the Slammiversary tag match was great but it did come across as a bit spotty at times. Nothing wrong with that but takes it out of the MOTY running for me. I thought Aries-Joe was the best match on that card. Great that TNA are getting so many nominations though - it's about time!

fye Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I am clearly looking for different things in my wrestling if Joe vs Aries is supposed to be a match of the year contender. It was just a 90mph spotfest. I am watching the PPV now cos everyone is telling me how good TNA has become but I am not buying it if thats the measuring stick.

Ross Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Have a watch of the previously mentioned Bully Ray vs. Aries match from Sacrifice. If you're not into that then TNA probably ain't your bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another style of wrestling to me. If it's done right, it can be just as good as any other style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fye Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I'm sure it is, it has no appeal to me whatsoever but I need to stop assuming my tastes are the right ones and everyone else is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted June 17, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 I didn't think Joe vs Aries was a spot-fest at all. Every move had a point, the match told a story from start to finish, and even the spots weren't stupid, bar maybe the 450. Â The match told a solid Speed vs Power story all the way through, the wrestlers told it well, the commentators told it well, and I could see it for myself. That was the difference between that match and any shite arse indy spotfest where people are just throwing themselves about and doing canadian destroyers and taking top rope brainbusters.

fye Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 I didn't feel there was time to digest anything as there was very little selling for most of it. They would take a move and pop straight back up to nail their own move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 We must have been watching different matches then, there was plenty of selling in both those matches. The tag team had more spots, but then there's 4 guys in there, and that's the nature of tag team wrestling. Â TNA used to be terrible with people forgetting to sell offence longer than 30 seconds, but they've been a lot better recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fye Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I thought the tag match was good, I tuned out of the opener after a while so dunno if it got better but it was very gung ho for a while. I'm not saying it was a bad match I just would never have said match of the year candidate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vamp Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I know I'm late with this suggestion since it's a match from January but I'm nominating Black Terry vs. Chico Che (lucha de apuesta). I've never really paid IWRG much attention before but I'm getting it now. A blood soaked dramatic brawl, including a brilliant moment where Terry, despite being the technico, shoves the referee in the flight path of Chicho Che because he knows he's moments away from losing his hair. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisewords Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I really enjoyed the tuxedo match from the other night. Amazing story telling, with the cobra being thrown into the crowd, only to have an additional cobra on the foot. Love that they started with a booyay too in which you rarely see in WWE.

steve rayson Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Black Buffalo vs. Daisuke Harada 25/3/12 - probably the best match I've seen in the past 4 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
