Loki Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Thought I'd join in the thread creation craze. I don't watch TNA until it's on Challenge, so thought we could have a discussion thread that is at UK pace! Â What did people think of this week then? I've only got a certain way through but so far the highlight is Christy Hemme's dress when doing the tombola. Good Lord! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Butternut Squash Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Finding it a real slog to get through Impact at the moment and this one felt longer than Raw. I enjoyed the knock outs stuff though. I'd say heel Gail vs heel Mickie interests me more than any other feud they're doing right now. Also, as ever, loved Taz! His condescending delivery of, "Weeeell . . I think she needs medication or something, it's sad to see people like that" was wonderful. I hope he never starts to give a shit again.

Paid Members mim731 Posted July 16, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 16, 2013 'Brock Lesnar fan' was in the front row for this show, on camera during the Jeff Hardy entrance. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twatters Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 I thought this weeks was a good show. The matches on Impact are generally good and all the tag ones this week were decent. The ladder match was entertaining to. Â I like the idea of Jackson in MEM but i'm not sure why really. I guess he doesn't 'fit' but keeps him about without having to wrestle yet. Â Oh and that was the best promo i've ever seen Sabin do. Looking forward to next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone101 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I've really been enjoying Impact Recently... Â Not entirely sure what the point of Aries winning the X Division title - then losing it again the following week....slightly pointless IMO Â Last weeks Impact was great, all the tag matches were fun, the gauntlet was ok, ladder match was good and had a unique finish, Sabin and Bully Ray's promo was the best promo I've seen in TNA for a while. Â Lets not forget Ken Anderson being elected VP of Aces and 8's...Would have preferred DOC to be honest. Give him something to do. Â I usually hate Taz on commentary but on Impact there he had some really funny lines. Can't remember exactly but when Magnus came out he said something along the lines of 'The Main Event Mafia is sick and disgusting' which made me laugh as it sounds like something you would here in a playground.

Loki Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 His best line of the year so far has been  Tenay: "Are you worried Taz?" Taz: "No, but yes I am a little" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vegeta Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I enjoyed the ladder match. I felt that the jokers wild tag tourny was a touch too predicatable, as far as teams went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Butternut Squash Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 The Roode vs Aries match was good weren't it? They are the guys I want to watch. The knockouts are half interesting at the moment as well. Not much else going on for me though. I really, really fucking hate these silly three way XDivision matches. I'd say they're even worse than the gutcheck matches. I missed Taz shitting on this shit. Â And Chris Sabin is the new champ . Â What a waster. Â Admittedly they did do a good job of building him up throughout the show with the 'boyhood dream' vid packages. I wish WWE would still go full throttle like that occasionally.

Tombstone101 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Was a bit disappoint with the 3 ways matches myself. Sabin as champ, Hate the idea, but maybe he can prove me wrong.  Well now Bully isn't the champ, I will predict:  Bully Ray vs Hogan at BFG  If Bully wins he gets to stay married to Brooke, Hogan wins and they get divorced? - or some shit like that  Looking forward to Ultimate X next week as well and Styles vs Hardy!

Messiah22 Posted July 22, 2013 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Ok, so the most important point that was made in the first post was about Christy and that dress..... Â I second the "Good Lord" statement. Â Best Impact ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted July 22, 2013 Paid Members Share Posted July 22, 2013 Well now Bully isn't the champ, Â ... for now. I really can't see this Sabin deal lasting. Â I genuinely think there are a couple of scenarios :Â 1) Due to a combination of factors they decided it was the right way to go on the night : I. Reinforce the Destination X stip, II. Add more fuel to the A&8 v MEM fire, III. Give Sabin the belt as a thank you for all the years of hard work and service ..... and the belt will be back on Bully Ray in short order for a big, well-built up proper dethroning to the next longer-term champion, maybe at BFG. Â 2) It was a "shock for the sake of a shock" result, and the belt will be back on Bully Ray in short order, see above. Â 3) They actually decided to get the belt off Bully Ray because he's one of their top names with friends at WWE that's been sending feelers out for work and they expect he'll ask to be allowed to leave soon. Â So.... yeah. I truly can't imagine a single "Chris Sabin defends the World title" sentence that doesn't end with "against Bully Ray, who regains it from him." Unless we're talking about house shows. Not house shows in Missouri, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
