I literally FF'ed through four weeks of shows last night just to see Scott Steiner doing a Skype call.

Only other thing I noticed was how much this

 

 

 

Genuinely one of the strangest feuds ive ever seen. The skits and set-up is full on comedy but the actual altercations are very violent, beating each other with a rubber hammer and whatnot. Just an odd set up.

Global Force has officially been bought (yeah right) by Anthem. Hard to believe it was almost two years ago that I went to what felt like an empty arena GFW show in Las Vegas, having been such buzz after their first well attended taping.

[Merzbow]

But did they buy any gold and get a free 8x10 from Jeff while they were at it?

[BomberPat]

I assume the Anthem offices are full of boxes of unsold 8x10s of Jeff.

[Merzbow]

That's why they rehired Don West, a brown bag special is now just a hundred of those and a Willow mask.

Would not surprise me if Bound for Glory is held in Vegas this year.

Be nice if they released the shows.

Haha, tremendous!

They also did Eric Young plastic beards and a Suicide/Manik one which looked horrendous. You were better off getting the regular mask. They looked like the stuff you'd get alongside the knock off wrestlers at Poundland. I did get one of those Willow masks. Probably a good time to get it as I've no idea how I'd manage with 100 Jarrett promos and what I'd do with them.

Just how much stock did they actually have? They've been trying to cut back for years, just burn it all and move on.

Impact finally returned to the Top 10 shows on Spike UK for the week ending 18th June with 118,000 viewers after a long absence.

Steiner presumably.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

Steiner did a conference call for the PPV this Sunday. Never heard it yet, but here he's still mental. Still Scotty.

 

[westlondonmist]

Would anybody watch Steiner if he wasn't mental?

[alanchiz]

That conference call was interesting. The bit with Joseph Parks phoning in was quite fun. Steiner was a hoot as ever

I find it somewhat depressing to hear what the 'media' is now though. 90% of those calling up were just fans that run a podcast or something, thinking this is a Q&A session. Barely anyone mentioned the event this was supposed to promote.

[westlondonmist]

The tag title match being LAX VS Drago/Fantasma vs Ishimori/Marafuji vs Garza jr/Laredo Kid makes me really want to see it. I hope they give it some time.

The card is a bit weird. I think half the matches look really good and half a bit shit.

any links to the press conference?

I wouldn't expect anything less with the 'press' though, podcasts/dirtsheets are the MMA media.

Im actually really up for Slammiversary, i've followed the build to this more than any build in years, mainly due to the Spike TV thing and Impact basically being an hour a week when i cut through some fo the shit i don't wanna see (The Knockouts).
