ThumpSquids Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 The Catanzaro outside-in springboard dropkick, (largely missed by the camera) was stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members mim731 Posted September 15, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 15, 2018 Another decent show again this week, all good to very good matches (Catanzaro-Gonzalez for all the reasons @Bellenda Carlisle mentioned above). As am aside, it was nice to see Undisputed Era in the front row in suits. A nice, rare example of wrestlers in suits not looking terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elisarcabrera Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Great second ep. Depth of WWE women’s division is great right now with the addition of the MYC competitors to the roster. The women just need to be given more time and matches on Raw and Smackdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Really surprised that Zeuxis went through, she was shit and they seemed to be pushing Ariel Monroe. I don’t like Mercedes Martinez, she looks like she’d be sticky and smell of bins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Statto Posted September 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2018 Not certain, but I think that might have been a one-off for Rayne, at least as it stands. Obviously there are WWE contracts these days that are more flexible than ever before, but she's still working indies and did All In since the MYC was taped. I actually did a little fist pump when Mercedes picked up the win. I'm not sure if it's the fact she spent so long playing the bitchy heel in TNA or the fact she's married to Josh Matthews, but I find Rayne deeply unlikable.

Guest Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Give me Reina Gonzalez as a dominant bigger wrestler over Nia Jax any day. Her match was fun and the gymnast had some cool tricks. I was hoping Reina would win though so we could get a Big Lass Battle with Ripley in round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly fair comparison to Rayne who essentially only has "was made a star in TNA" to her name. Gender has nothing to do with it, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyattSheepMask Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 the closet TNA got to a mention when AJ came in was on The Edge & Christian network show, where they played 'will they talk about about the place AJ used to work?', to which AJ said "haha, you shouldn't". Granted things have changed slightly in the 3 years since, but again thats all tucked away on Network exclusive shows. If Sting was to return tomorrow, they'd be pretending he'd gone back to the call centre he was working in after WCW closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, the commentatory on the Shield/Kurt v Miz et al match at TLC was laughable in that Graves (IIRC) mentioned it was a stupid match for Kurt to take after "11 years away from the ring." So not only was he not wrestling for TNA, apparently he stopped wrestling at all in 2006. Extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members air_raid Posted September 20, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted September 20, 2018 "-- Madison Rayne made an appearance on The Taz Show today and made an announcement that she has signed a one-year contract with Ring of Honor (ROH)." That's put to bed for now then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snitsky's back acne Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Kind of a 'm'eh' show for me this week to be honest. Nothing outstanding but nothing horrendous either. Toni v Jinny was the match of the night for me. Next week should be good with Io finally making an appearance. Her and Xia have wrestled before and am anticipating the match will be positioned as the main event so hopefully should be a good one. Hiroyo Matsumoto's good too and I hope she beats Rachel Ellering as her v Toni could be all kinds of good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
