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

Yeah the armsless tops are a great improvement on what he currently wears, it's the fact he obviously doesn't give a shit that bothers me and he couldn't care less why should anyone else.

 

On another note seeing as the current bad guy stable in TNA is really bizaree and light weight maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to swap Spud for Abyss. Spud could still play a clueless goon but tag him with Eric Young and you have a fun comic tag team. Abyss could add much needed menace to a rather non-entity stable.

 

Hell swap Storm for EC3 and turn EC3 face.

It appears Santana Garrett has signed with TNA. She's the chick that Scott Hall used to put over big time in his Last Call YouTube videos.

Just saw this mentioned on another forum. This could mean nothing but check out the Spike TV promo for Thursday's Impact and the Lockdown commercial:

 

 

There are these shots of some dude, who appears to have MMA gloves on, and the Spike commercial talks about the mystery investor being revealed as they show a shot of said dude. Blimey! I hope this isn't an indication that an MMA dude will be the investor.

Old stuff, but I was watching some old Flair promos, and this:

 

 

still has me laughing like an idiot. The angle around it was shit, Jay Lethal is only ever any good when he's doing impressions (which should have been his gimmick, really), and Wolfe kind of ruins it (he's a good promo, but it brings an unwelcome break to the proceedings), but it's definitely one of the best things TNA have ever done. Which, in itself, is a bit sad, actually.

I've only ever seen a GIF of Lethal doing the elbow drop on the jacket. Thats as good an impression as you'll ever see of Flair, and he knew it too

[Surf Digby]

Watch it with your eyes shut. It gets a bit weird.

[The King Of Swing]

That promo is probably the high point of TNA for me.

Daffney's started doing Youtube videos. This one is regarding her TNA lawsuit. She's laying down the law.

I only just found out Chris Rock was once on a TNA show. How did it take so long for me to know this?!

Haha I remember that didn't he film something in the asylum for a movie?

[IANdrewDiceClay]

He was there to film scenes for Head of State.

Wow it was really early in strange seeing the old first asylum stage

[pgi86]

^ Here you go:

 

Joseph Park, Eric Young & Ivan Minnock (local TV host) defeated Ethan Carter III & Rockstar Spud.

 

Madison Rayne and ODB beat Gail Kim and Lei'd Tapa with Velvet Sky as the special guest referee.

 

They did a deal where Jeremy Borash introduced Christy Hemme, which brought out Samuel Shaw who menaced Borash for looking at her.

 

Gunner beat Bobby Roode. Kurt Angle hit the ring to save Gunner after and cut a promo thanking everyone. He was limping pretty bad.

 

X-Division champion Austin Aries defeated Samoa Joe and Chris Sabin.

 

TNA Tag Team champions The Bro-Mans defeated Bad Influence.

 

TNA champ Magnus beat James Storm after Spud and EC3 got involved. Dixie introduced Magnus.

 

Mr. Anderson defeated Bully Ray in a Tables Match.

any results from dublin last night?

 

Joseph Park, Eric Young and some tit from Irish tele beat Spud and Carter

Madison and ODB beat Tapa and Kim (Velvet as ref)

Gunnar beat Bobby Roode

Aries beat Joe and Sabin in a three way

Bromance beat Daniels and Kazarian

Magnus beat James Storm

Anderson beat Bully in a tables match

 

Sam Shaw threatened Borash at some point for saying Christy Hemme was beautiful. Kurt appeared at the end of the Gunnar/Roode match. He didn't wrestle because his knee is injured and he could barely get out of the ring.
