Impact wrestling thread - It's a Don West tribute thread now!

[Kaz Hayashi]

Because TNA.

 

 

There really isn't any other reason to give other than this is there? It just... is.

 

 

 

Same goes for any other question asked on at least 186 of the previous pages.

Kudos on the new thread title.

[PSF]

Well I can't think of any other a reason a bloke not under contract would turn up and defend his belt for free. WWE did the logical thing and had a tournament to crown the new champ when Punk left.

[GPW Kristian Zane]

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall during the booking session for that match!

[Astro Hollywood]

What's the context of that? Was the chair put there, kayfabe-wise, without Sting knowing, or did he fuck up?

[d-d-d-dAz]

If the chair was put there without him knowing, that'd be bloody hilarious.

 

I hope the Benny Hill theme was playing as someone sneaks into the ring, hamming it up to the crowd telling them to SSH! with fingers on their lips and puts the chair into place.

Jeff Jarrett did that against Chyna in 1999 for a big one-off ball of money. If the promoter wants a title defence but the titleholder isn't contracted, they meet his terms to do the match.

If I remember, Bobby Roode had set the chair up to do something dastardly to Sting, who reversed and then forgot the chair was there, and hit it accidentally. You might have thought the ref could have warned him.

 

Even Sting makes mistakes!

It wasn't a mistake. It was the planned finish. A way to have Roode beat Sting but not clean.

[Loki]

Was that the finish then? I don't remember it like that.

[pgi86]

Yes, it was the finish. From a Victory Road 2012 report:

 

Roode spears Sting for 2. Roode then goes to the floor and grabs a chair. He slides it in, sets it up, and grabs Sting. He looks for a powerbomb, Sting fights, to the apron goes Roode and Sting pulls him back in and gets the death drop, but hits his own head on the chair. The crowd chants "Holy s***". Both men are down. Roode makes the cover and gets the victory.

Basically, a cheap win for Roode was the idea they were going for.

Fuck all you thats one of the greatest finishes ever.

 

"i dont want to lose to roode clean"

"deal"

Not the first time someone's thought of using the Benny Hill theme for a TNA angle.

 

(Yeah, this version doesn't actually have it, but the first one did, until TNA made him take it down.)

[wrestlingmad]

 

New IMPACT layout or even worse sales?

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Finally found Davari's TNA theme music. See if you find anything offensive about this anti-American muslims extremist character's opening.

 

Unbelievable someone actually thought that was a good idea. I remember there was a bit of an #AskDixie backlash over it. They dropped it soon after.
