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

Coming soon: Impact live in the UK. On periscope. From wrestleuk. Filming his dodgy stream on his iPhone.

I admire Mike Bennett for dressing as if he's a contestant on a episode of Countdown from 1987. He really tried to fit in with Challenges programming to keep the deal alive.

Coundown isn't on Challenge . . . but I'd love to see Knightmare gimmick.

Obviously dont get the Challenge newsletter like I do.

[Buzz Lightyear]

She's e-mailed the execs again hasn't she? 

 

Surprised Challenge didn't drop them earlier, ratings are way down from 18 months/2 years ago. Feel for Borash because he's done fantastic work in the UK and she's pissed it all away.

A helmet that stops them seeing where they're going?

Dusty Bin accompanying somebody to the ring who gives incredibly cryptic clues as to what weapons he's going to use in the match?

[FUM]

I love that they've released a statement blaming spoilers because fans don't want to wait 3-5 days. It used to be like a month behind with higher ratings, did it not?

The fact there going to film episodes up until April in January sums it up for me, how can you cite spoilers as a reason when filming that far in advance?

That's the TNA mentality. Always has been sadly. "The reason we're leaving Challenge is because they are holding us back." Same thing with Spike. Its the WCW mentality that Dixie got from Russo, Jarrett, Bischoff, Hogan, Nash and everyone else she worked with. Its never their fault. Its standards and practices or some shit, probably.

 

I do find spoilers hilarious. TNA's the only thing on Challenge that isnt 20 years out of date. Compared to everything else on Challenge, its like watching Impact via a fucking time machine into the future.

No winners this time on Takeshi's Castle.

[The Gaffer]

They need to gimmick their whole PR outlook somehow. Have a tag team called Damage Control that always job out but get on the mic afterwards to make ludicrous excuses as to how really it was a kind of moral victory.

[DavidB6937]

I won't believe the company is dead until I read that Jeremy Borash has left. If he leaves, that's when you know there's no hope.

[The Gaffer]

Yeah, JB is more or less TNA's final horcrux. You may have to kill him in order to have a proper fatal blow at TNA.
