Hernandez has been bloody brilliant lately. I've really enjoyed everything he's been doing and he seems to be pretty over with the crowds on the road. I'm hoping they give him a fairly decent singles run as TNA seem to be pretty high on him until he goes near Morgan..

i only tune into TNA now and again but that tag match that opened Impact this week was excellent. How long's Impact been on the road now? i loved the crowd for impact, genuinely seemed like they were having a great time.

Holly Rocamora should win it. Great look, class tattoo, has a tan and isn't wearing shit gear. Hulk Hogan has laid his cock on the table in the last 12 months and Chyna did a few (tee-hee) shots in TNA, so hiring a former porn star doesn't seem like it would be something that would bother then. Or at least it shouldn't. They need female talent, since all those girls banded together and told TNA to fuck off on that Knockouts PPV a few weeks back. Bring in Trina Michaels as well. She seems nice.

 

In other TNA news, Homicide is retiring because nobody will give him work anymore.

This is the third show which has been filmed on the road. Each location they film 2 episodes a night to make it financially viable. The two crowds have been brilliant so far and really seem generally arsed about the product which really shows when watching it. All through 2013 TNA have been on an excellent run. Lockdown the most recent PPV (they only have 4 per year now) was the best Wrestling PPV this year IMO.

 

Regarding Tag Teams - TNA are very good at creating tag teams and throughout the year you can guarantee there will be several great matches. Such good teams on TNA at the moment Daniels/Kaz, Aries/Roode, Hernandez/Chavo, Morgan/Ryan, Joe/Magnus etc (Check Angle/Styles teaming up from last year too). They seem to make team you'd want to see rather than Kofi Kingston & Generic Midcarder against shite like the Primetime Players match every week.

The tag division is pretty solid right now, since the formation of Bad Influence there has always been something worthwhile going on and the transition of Beer Money and MCMG to boring teams like Morgan/Crimson and Mexican America has since been rectified with the current crop of teams.

 

You know what could do with some work though, the TV title. I can't recall Devon defending it this entire year so far and it'd give guys like Storm and Magnus something to go after. I think Storm vs Devon would be a perfect little midcard title feud actually, it's realistically the nearest that either are getting to a title now so I think they'd both make it mean something.

He looks like shit

[Forrest]

He really does.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Forget his (shite look). AJ's gimmick died when he spoke the other night. Sounds like a right clown when he opens his mouth. Also, his leather jacket is a size to big for him. You cant be a mysterious hard case if you are wearing a charity shop jacket and speak like a Looney Tunes character.

Come on, he don't look THAT bad. He looks as bad as he's suppose to. Having him talk was stupid. That segment with him Storm and Hogan was great though. When Storm cut off depressed sympathetic AJ with his DERP DERP shit I was wanting to punch him but he turned it around in the end. I don't think I've enjoyed Hogan this much since the old NWO days.

 

The other good part of Impact was the Bully/Brooke bit at the end. He got the crowd behind Brooke he's such a monumental bellend. (I don't mind Brooke actually. She's no Elizabeth but still quite likeable.)

 

The rest of Impact was disappointing. Don't care for the Gut Check shite or the new convoluted X Division. Ref Joey Ryan got old after the first pin attempt and was a daft way to start the show. Don't know why Anderson and Chavo keep being given live mics. Next week looks good mind.

[Vamp]

Come on, he don't look THAT bad.

 

You know, he really, really, really does. He looks like a teeny bop pop singer in that.

[buba3d]

that cage match where the roof malfunctioned from the ppv, young was meant to drop an elbow from the ladder on the roof through the table however he had to improvise with the cage spot he ended up doing instead.

 

was reading this on another forum, the guy even posted a photo to show the table and ladder on the roof lol

[Professor Paul's Bin]

He doesn't look that bad. It would look different on TV rather than a fan taking a photo which may be a bad angle. It may not even be his current attire hes going to be using anyway.

 

I got round to watching the first half of Impact yesterday and I really enjoyed. I really like the product TNA are putting out at the moment, 80-90 minutes of solid TV every week, generally consistent throughout, a roster I care about, good storylines, a cool as fuck faction (Aces and Eights) and some excellent crowds at the moment. I'd like to be the first to say I like the idea of the 3 Way X-Division matches. Some of the blokes they are putting against each other in one on one action are abit shit e.g. Zema/King add Petey Williams to the mix and seems fresh. Little Petey Pump looks excellent, he was pretty over with the crowd and its a pleasure seeing a TNA Original like him back.

 

Everytime I watch Petey, I always think of his AOW Podcast where he tells the story of his best friend, Scott Steiner meeting his wife. Steiner looks at Petey's Wife and goes "Heya Baby! How about a go on the REAL thing?". Priceless

I've felt this about him for a long time - I cant stand his voice/accent, well him general - he makes my girlfriend seethe with rage when he is on the screen, not fun heel heat but general get the fuck off my screen you cunt type of anger. Remember when they used to do those segments of the wrestlers talking about their passion/dedication to becoming wrestlers etc? His one was about he grew up poor, dirt poor as he put it but then they got a SNES and he played street fighter until his thumbs were sore and he put a plaster on it to keep going. seriously? That just sums up the wanker he is. Like everyone else talked about over coming adversity , the long car rides for no paydays and persevering; he talks about being poor (but still having a telly and a console in the house) and how he got good at playing it. Yeah he looks shit aswell and a bit doughy.
