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

[Benno]

Stuff goes on My5 pretty quickly so I wouldn't worry about any long wait for the VOD (he says as an ardent fan of Can't Pay We'll Take It Away) .

 

Feel strangely positive about this new TNA, I'm glad they've landed somewhere good and I wouldn't feel bad if Dominant Wrestling are getting kicked off one bit.

I don't see why Challenge would do HD seeing as they specialise in gameshow repeats which were decades before HD TV was a thing and no point doing that. That's pretty good going. Shame there won't be any more Broken Brilliance but will be good to see it again.

[Keith Houchen]

Broken Brilliance could have been a gameshow on Challenge.

Garza Jr is in Orlando with a mystery man, stoking up rumors that LAX are reforming. Konnan is also there.

I don't know how it applies to UK TV, but I read recently in an article (that was explaining why Star Trek DS9 and Voyager wouldn't be available on Blu Ray remaster) that most TV and film made prior to the 90s are perfectly HD-compatible, as they were filmed in analogue, whereas most 90s stuff was filmed in early digital, which doesn't hold up well on HD TV. I'd imagine that Challenge aren't bothered more because gameshows aren't something people particularly care about watching in HD.

 

 

 

 

 

With regard to the recent developments, the difference between the old management and the new is like night and day, isn't it? Carter couldn't find Tennessee if she started in Nashville, and Janthem are hitting the ground running. It's a shame he probably had to sell to Carter at the time because he didn't have the resources, but I've got to think that TNA would be in a much better position right now if Jarrett had never sold it to her. Sure, she took it to some amazing heights, but then she brought it to some absolute lows.

Konnan's a power house on the mic. They could definitely do with him in a role on the show.

[Philjax]

As I understand it Pentagon, Fenix and Rey Mysterio are now available as their LU contracts have expired. I think they are all working Konnan's promotion which now is linked to Impact. They would be some talent injection somewhere down the line....

[PowerButchi]

Actually looking forward to TNA spoilers for the first time since 2010. Interesting times. Mainly to see who's even actually on the show.

[Benno]

Meltzer says on Observer Radio that Bruce Pritchard is coming in as himself, as the numbers for his podcast are so high they think it'll help the ratings. Some kind of anti-TNA gimmick.

 

Also, something involving Konnan and LAX - and for some reason, Matt bloody Morgan.

Heres the thing with Morgan, he should have been World Champion at the time, ok a bit late now but still worth bringing him in.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

When should Matt Morgan have ever been world champion? He's a 7 footer who looks like a 9 foot person working like a 6 foot person. In other words he's shit.

[PowerButchi]

So, who do we predict tonight? Prichard, Morgan, Karen... Magnus? Is Sonjay Dutt still going NXT?

 

Should open with the best entrance video of ALL TIME.

 

 

WALES! NEW ZEALAND! TRAIN TRACKS!

Mysterio's star has fallen pretty dramatically over recent years, but a name such as his on the show could still draw in a few casuals. 

[Philjax]

Trying to understand how much money TNA must have spent on utter tat. Love the beard though.

Don West selling the Jarrett guitar is amazing. Really hope he's back on board full time. I dig me some Don West.
