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

[Surf Digby]

I watched the video on Youtube of Sandow Rex's debut, and the sound when he was unveiled felt like there was about 50 people there. Shocking

That's still better than the five people that were visible chanting for Moose the other week.

 

Remember the old "Pro Wrestlings Secrets Revealed" where it was claimed that the signs in the audience were handed out by the promotion to give the illusion of support for certain wrestlers?

It actually sounds like a good plan now, or maybe stick a few plants in the hard cam area who've been instructed to act enthusiastic.

I've only been catching bits and bobs of it on YouTube but the Broken Matt & Brother Nero stuff is ridiculously brilliant. I listened to Matt on Jericho's podcast too where he was entirely in character. Jericho made a great Ramsay Bolton/Reek comparison to the whole storyline.

Are up to date TNA episodes still being shown on Challenge? If so when?

Sunday's at 9pm

Taping spoilers for Matt and Brother Nero, but damn.

 

 

Wow.

 

[wrestlingmad]

That looks great!

 

Does anybody have any spoilers?

Does anyone remember in 2005 when MattHardy was supposed to be coming back from injury the got himself released after the Edge/Lita thing happened , he was supposed to come back repackaged as the Angelic Diablo. Hardy said at the time that he had filmed his own vignettes and allsorts.

Do we reckon this 'Broken' gimmick is what that would have been, or least some variation of it?

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Nah. There was a vignette online that he posted on his website, and he sounded like a shit Raven.

[King Pitcos]

It was pretty much his attempt at being the Punisher, wasn't it? He wasn't gonna be talking in silly voices for laughs.

[WyattSheepMask]

I didn't even realise that a vignette found its way online I just remember reading that they were filmed

[King Pitcos]

I'm sure I've seen one. He was running over a cardboard cutout of Lita.

[Guest]

Yeah he loaded a few up, they weren't good

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Here's one.

Vince Russo's wet dream.

 

Ironically, that fucking hideous "broken" accent he does would improve that thing a hundred times.

 

Imagine getting this pitched and having to give constructive feedback. Awkward.

[Ambulance Chaser]

It's so weird, I can't imagine Matt now as anything but Broken, going to take some getting used to when he eventually get's resurrected or some bullshit and turns back to a normal babyface.

[The Gaffer]

Matt Hardy V.3.
