Members SuperBacon Posted July 30, 2024 Members Posted July 30, 2024 I've never really watched a lot of TNA, but when I was getting back into watching wrestling around 2011/12, I used to really like Robbie E, Jessie Godderz and DJZ as the Bro-Mans. An absolute ton of fun whenever they were on despite being shit (Z was clearly better than the other two) Quote

Liked him the most when he was with Boss Man (pattern emerging here) T&A were also a perfectly serviceable tag team. Also the Baldo Bomb was tremendous. I loved the accompanying roar/grunt of exertion: Edited July 30, 2024 by JLM Quote

I really enjoyed A-Train during the early years of the first brand split, and didn't understand the criticism levelled at him at all! Again, I probably have to go back and watch his stuff; but at the time, I thought he was decent and I liked how explosive his offence could be. Quote
Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 30, 2024 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2024 (edited) I liked the De-Railer as a finish, too - made a good change to have an impact finish that wasn't based on a slam or a knockout. EDIT: Just remembered that the De-Railer was what they renamed the Baldo Bomb from. The one I was thinking of was called the Train Wreck, I think. Edited July 30, 2024 by Carbomb Quote
Paid Members JLM Posted July 30, 2024 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2024 (edited) Very cool move. From about 47 seconds in there is a frankly comical sequence of him finding new ways to hit this on poor Funaki. Edited July 30, 2024 by JLM Quote

Moved well for a big man. Never really had memorable matches, but I could watch him squash some jobber all day long. The pairing with Johnny Polo was an odd one though. Love Adam Bomb, love Wrath, love Kronic. Safe to say I am a Bryan Clark Mark. Quote
Paid Members TheBurningRed Posted July 30, 2024 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2024 A-Train had a really good match on an episode of Smackdown with Chris Benoit back in 2003. He was a decent mid card act in the early 2000s. I wouldn’t have been against a T&A tag title run. Great big man team. Quote
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted July 30, 2024 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2024 Echoing the Albert/A-Train love. As well as the Baldo Bomb he also had an incredible flying kick that he'd hit all while roaring. It was brilliant. Quote
The Dart Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 4 hours ago, JLM said: Even worse, it was “Jaxson”. That’s not a pedantic spelling correction, I just wanted to highlight how fucking stupid that name is. The Sons of Anarchy character is Jax, short for Jackson. It’s not both at the same time. I remember him outing himself as a turd. One particularly lovely tweet was: “"Pretty touchy subject but all this black lives matter garbage baffles me. I challenge anyone of any color or race to go watch 12 Years a Slave the movie and realise how good you all actually have it." The Forgotten Sons, man what an abysmal act that was. The only other thing I remember about Riker in the group is that he was meant to be the biggest, baddest and most dangerous one but was too short for that to be convincing. Would it shock you to hear that Jaxson Ryker is now a policeman? Didn't think so. Apparently Jaxson Ryker, Bobby Fish and Drake Younger had a special room at the PC where they did bible study together. Quote

Edit: the absolute state of them. Brilliant. Edited July 30, 2024 by SuperBacon TNA TNA TNA Quote
Joe Blog Posted July 30, 2024 Posted July 30, 2024 Fuck the lot of you, made A-Train no longer a valid choice with how much you all seemingly love him. Bastards. Quote
Paid Members JLM Posted July 30, 2024 Paid Members Posted July 30, 2024 You could restore your left field choice cred by making the case that Lord Tensai was the best bit. Quote
