Paid Members air_raid Posted June 15, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Reverse Battle Royal is definitely being played for laughs in a “look at this shit we booked” kind of way. I applaud it, a cheap laugh at who was writing it at the time. As opposed to Sandman caning Eugene at One Night Stand 06 because they thought the gimmick was risible to that part of the fanbase, when actually everyone hated it, an indictment of the writers that were still there.

simonworden Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 The reverse battle royal needs some early days guys like cheekz (if alive) Bruce, The dicks etc has to be really tongue in cheek as I think I said before. Things like this excite me more than anything in wrestling these days.  Lthe queen of the mountain is kind of nostalgia based I guess too.  TNA/impact might have had plenty of crap but honestly most of us watched it and I'm sure many would enjoy a bit of nostalgia over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 17, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2022 Sorry, somebody talking about the penis cage? I still remember @Liam O'Rourkecorpsing as he tried to read my description on that episode of SCG Radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 You have the entire history of TNA yet you pick Davey Richards to be the big surprise member of the originals team? lolTNA But seriously, it's been a fun little show and even the Good Brothers had a decent match Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted June 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2022 Well, it does make sense given Eddie Edwards' turn and their history together. Plus its not like all the ex TNA big names are exactly available and free agents atm. Loved the show, was heavy on nostalgia but who gives a fuck? Was definately a love letter to TNA wrestling. Personally would have loved the return of the six sided ring, and in the age of way too much wrestling product being out there, would be a way of differentiating themselves again. Loved most the video packages , but if I could only choose one it would have to be this.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted June 20, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) Sorry for the double post, but the main event of the next monthly show is Joe Doering against Josh Alexander. Even better, its at Center Stage in Atlanta! Although the result isn't in doubt, this is going to be a doozy!

Loki Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Slammiversary was a fun show and I enjoyed the nostalgia.  Impact just feels so small now compared to its heyday but still… 20 years isa good run! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone had “TNA will be dead by 2004” or similar in their sig iirc. I remember when they passed ECW’s longevity and people were pissed at the comparison.  Considering the number of alumni that went on to main event in WWE I think TNA won that war ultimately.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was being said when it first started to be fair. "Weekly PPV's? Won't last 3 months." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members garynysmon Posted June 21, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted June 21, 2022 (edited) In fairness there have been several times when it was genuinely looking the case. The Health South money suddenly stopping and Panda cutting the credit line immediately spring to mind. Then there was that nonsense with Arolouxe and the Harris Brothers and Billy Corgan financing a couple of sets of tapings because Dixie Carter's credit card had maxed out. Its ridiculous that its still around but I love that it is. Edited June 21, 2022 by garynysmon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoryT Posted June 21, 2022 Share Posted June 21, 2022 Yeah it is bizarre that it's gone from a stacked roster on a proper channel to basically an indie show, but I would be a bit sad if it died. Bring back shamrock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
