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

I'd guess it will be Eric Young or maybe Hernandez against ECIII

[wrestlingmad]

EC3 has issued an 'open challenge'. So... Curry Man? Shark Boy?

Bubba Ray Dudley's inclusion in the WWE Top 45 Big Men seems

[PBWFan]

Not surprising given its one of his old buddies who oversees all the content and runs the website. In fairness I would probably put him in a Top 45....what number was he?

[PunkStep]

Who does a 'top 45' anyway? Surely they could've found another five to make it a nice even number.

It was Top 30, lists like these are better with no more than 20 anyway.

30 mins pre-bell time.

Well I had fun watching Lockdown. Muta was awsome. Where the fuck did Bobby Lashley come from? Willow and his random girly screams. Samuel Shaw attempting suicide. Abyss coming through the ring again. Bully Ray turning face. Every aspects of a classic TNA PPV.

 

There was also some good matches. The opening 6 man, Tigre vs. Manik, Gunner vs. Storm and Gail vs. Madison were all solid matches. Enjoyed them all. Some good stuff in the lethal lockdown too. World Championship match was a mess.

 

Otherwise a good show and a improvement on previous latest TNA PPVs.

These pictures of empty TNA arenas are starting to piss me off. It seems there are sad acts actually making the effort to go to shows early, just to take the worst picture possible and get it up on the internet as fast as they can. Why? Everyone with half a brain knows it's not going to look like that on TV. We all know what their attendance figures are like without seeing pictures of the arena before anyone has shown up

Who are to blame for these? I mean, I get what you are saying, but Lockdown looked empty. TNA never make the shows look empty, because their camera men are really good. But this looked shockingly empty. Pretty sad to look at.

 

For me, any show where Abyss and Bobby Lashley return cant be considered good. I only watched half of it, so I'll post thoughts later on, but its a shame how uninteresting they are these days. I used to love Lockdown.

You'd expect that kind of crowd numbers at a Mike Modest / New Jack headlined show, or JCW, certainly not Lockdown.

That's very surprising, that.

The good thing about Bobby Lashley turning up is that it wasn't predictable and with a little luck this is a one off apperence. I wouldn't really be that happy with a Lashley return. From that picture it does look like a sad Lockdown turn out, the card isn't even that bad but TNA don't seem to able to draw a decent auidence inside the U.S.

 

The only way I think about it now is as long as Lockdown is fun to watch and TNA manage to make it look like Lockdown had a fair size auidence I won't think about it. If it turns out they they find it impossible to draw any size crowd much later in the year enjoying the shows while they are still around is the only way to see things.

 

One thing I would say is that the roster is utterly shallow and without star power that there isn't anyone major to come and see and I think TNA are thinking of making even more cuts, that may just be to people like Rob Terry and the like however.

Kurt Angle looked at out of his mind at the Impact show last night.

 

Delayed responses to questions, sweating profusely, that stary-eyed look, limping etc. Fuck.
