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

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Taz is essentially a real life Akeem Hasbro. His head and torso dont move at all and his arms only go up. Usually with a folk and/or sarnie in his hand. Its like 80% of his body has been fused. He's the most useless cunt imaginable. Don West had his faults, but enthusiasm wasn't one of them. Why is he even still employed? If you're cutting costs, that's where you start. It also seems obvious that Tenay is far better when he has Borash to bounce off.

I can't see Taz not being on a fair wedge either.

Heres a new one!

TNA expands relationship with Wrestle-1; One Night Only pay-per-view to be taped in Japan on March 2. Great Muta to appear at #Lockdown

Agree with the posts above about Taz, no reason to keep him on the payroll as JB works better with Tenay.

Always like Don West too plus he sold a lot of merch for TNA.

Also agreed on Taz, Borash would be so much better in his position I remember him during the WWA shows and whilst it was annoying he was commentating over the PA, he was great.

That's bigger than pretty much all of Dixie's 'major announcements' so far.

And the mystery investor is:

 

SPOILER - Highlight the black box to read

To the surprise of no one - it's MVP.

Will the upcoming UK tour be televised? My mate is going to the Birmingham taping, he asked me to find out.

[Merzbow]

Birmingham is going to be one of those One Night Only shows so yeah, it'll be on TV.

Thanks mate.

Why do so many TNA themes feature a shit keyboard intro?

Samuel Shaw is awesome, if they get the gimmick right it could be one of the best they've done in years.

[tiger_rick]

Not a bad show. Though the thin roster showed. Joe looked decent and the Gunner/Storm stuff was good. The Wolves looked good but best they don't speak.

 

What a state Angle is in. Why was he so red? He and Joe could go head to head with Batista and Lesnar in a weird shaped noggin competition.

 

Crowd was impressive but agree with earlier comment, the setting and lighting was cheap. Ring sounded odd too.

 

I despise Mike Tenay by the way. He makes Michael Cole sound like JR in his prime.

 

MVP was obvious but well executed. Pity they didn't give it any time to sink in.

The gimmick has been done really well so far. Made him so much more interesting.

 

I enjoyed the show overall. I'm glad it was MVP in the end, even if it was obvious. He is maybe a little overused atm but i thought Spud was great in the Wolves segment.

[RIDDUM_N_STYLE]

Ok show from TNA tonight, bit too tag team focused for my liking but not bad. Tomorrow's Manchester tapings should give us more about why MVP is there plus the Manc fans get a Monster's Ball match for the first show which is always fun
