OFFICIAL TNA Impact/Wrestling Thread

- Kurt Angle is being described by some within TNA as "the Triple H of TNA", talking about how he has complete control over his character, and is putting himself before everything else. One source says that these politics are what is keeping Rob Van Dam from joining TNA.
Just yesterday I was telling my brother that I thought Kurt Angle was the Triple H of TNA. I like them both as wrestlers, but their presence hurts other people's careers, and in Angle's case, might hurt the company as a whole.
 
As reported on Thursday night, TNA officially announced that their Bound For Glory PPV on October 14 would be taking place in Atlanta, Georgia. The event will be taking place at the Gwinnett Civic Center, which is a 13,000 seat venue.

TNA Knockout Leticia Cline recently made the finals for Maxim's Hometown Hotties contest. The WrestleZone.com website is reporting EXCLUSIVELY that she will also be posing for Playboy and will be on the front cover of the magazine. The issue, according to them, will be out in September.

TNA Wrestling issued text message alerts recently stating that a former World Champion would be making his TNA debut at the TNA TV tapings this Monday night in Orlando, Florida at Universal Studios. This could be the debut of former WSX champion Ricky Banderes who will be Jim Mitchell's new heel guy.

The company also announced through its mobile service that Rhino vs. James Storm in a Bar Room Brawl has been added to the card for the Hard Justice PPV on August 12.
 
pacman jones has been placed under court order not to appear on the TNA PPVtomorrow nighti learned of this during espn friday night fights first their news crawler then the sportcenter update russo and the writers will have to rewrite that part of the show:ninja:
 
Seriously, **** TNA. When was the last time they did something that wasn't boneheaded?
 
Watching TNA right now. LMAO Duds and Angle are ganging Joe. Bubba whipped Joe with the title belt lol
 
Seriously, **** TNA. When was the last time they did something that wasn't boneheaded?

i think the restraining order on jones came after the original broadcast of last weeks impact thats why the jones promo may have been shown last night
 
actually he WILL be at hard justice after all lawyers for the nfl andtna worked that out but he can't do anything without violating a no hazardous activities clause in his contract he'll only be shown in the audience
 
The Karen Angle ~SWERVE~ Was clear a mile off and i only saw one segment of Impact in the build up, Joe must have contracted gullibility from Sting:whatever::csad:
 
When Joe's contract is up I hope he comes back home to ROH for awhile.
 
Alex Marvez of FOXsports.com reports that many TNA wrestlers were upset that Adam "Pacman" Jones was given his own private dressing room at the PPV last night. He actually had a trailer. He hung out with his posse for most of the night and didn't really interact with many of the guys.

The Saturday iMPACT! replay did a 0.6 rating.

TNA has just signed a deal with the band Bro-Kin to use their music on TNA programming. Bro-Kin is the former DX band WWE used.

Jerry Lynn, Christy Hemme, & Lance Hoyt were all called by Terry Taylor and told they were not needed at the PPV or tonight's iMPACT! tapings. They are trying to save any kind of money that they can these days.
 
If I was one of the young guys I would just quit the company and try to make PWG and ROH into contenders. I could get into Japan easily if I worked hard and ****.
 
Major Spoilers From iMPACT! Taping

At tonight's TNA taping, the main event for the September 9th No Surrender PPV was announced. Kurt Angle will make three separate title defenses on the show. He will defend the TNA World Title against Abyss, he will defend the X-Division Title against Jay Lethal, and he will defend the Tag Team Championship against Ron Killings & Pacman Jones.

How is Pacman Jones going to wrestle? We shall see. And to be honest, he likely won't wrestle and we'll see another 'Pacman attacked' angle.
:dry:

Full spoilers

TNA Impact for 8/16:

- Mike Tenay brings out Pacman Jones. Mike talked about how Pacman made an eventful debut at Hard Justice, and all the media attention he received. He then mentions the confrontation with Ron Killings, and then Pacman being attacked in the locker room. Tenay asked Pacman if he knows who attacked him in the locker room. Pacman gets on the mic and says he expected it to be Ron Killings, but wondered why Killings wouldn't do it face to face, instead of jumping him from behind. Ron Killings comes out and asks Pacman why he wants to be in TNA. Killings said if "he has a beef, he eats it". Killings said he did some research on Pacman's history and that they are "birds of a feather". They get into each other's face, then Ron Killings says that Pacman came from nothing, then turned himself into "somebody" and that he did the same thing. Killings said he came from nothing and won the NWA World Title. Killings says the media has a way of painting things, and said they can make history together. Killings says he wouldn't jump someone from behind, and that he wants Pacman to team with him. Killings said he would help Pacman find out who jumped him, and that together "Team Pacman" could become TNA Tag Team Champions. As they're leaving the ring and heading up the ramp, Eric Young comes out and asks Pacman for an autograph. Killings has Young turn around so Pacman can sign the back of his shirt, and Killings attacks Young from behind before leaving.

- Jim Cornette is in his office with Matt Morgan and Leticia. Triple X enters, and Christopher Daniels wants to know why he has to wrestle Jay Lethal for a shot at the X-Division Title, since Daniels already earned a title match. Cornette says that since Daniels was pinned by Lethal at Hard Justice, he will have to earn back his title shot "the old fashioned way" and beat Lethal to get the title match back. Daniels points out that Hard Justice was a tag team match, but Cornette still insists that he has to beat Lethal to get back his title shot. They leave the office, and Christian, Tomko and AJ Styles enter. Christian says that he's moving on to bigger and better things, and that he's not going to wrestle anymore First Blood matches with Abyss. Cornette says if he doesn't accept the match, he won't get any title shots in the future. Cornette also says that Abyss is willing to put his title shot at the next PPV on the line for the First Blood match, so Christian accepts.

- Jay Lethal defeated Christopher Daniels to earn the X-Division Title match at No Surrender. After the match, Daniels was furious that he lost, and had to be held back by Elix Skipper and Senshi.

- Kurt and Karen Angle enter for the "Angle Awards", with the ring set up with trophies. Angle gets on the mic and says it is a great honor to host the first "Angle Awards". He says it is a night to celebrate, and mocks the people who didn't realize they were going to screw Samoa Joe. Angle says he and Karen are the best husband and wife team in sports entertainment today. They show a video package of the Angles screwing over Samoa Joe. Angle then gave an award for "Best Supporting Actor" for Kevin Nash and Karen's fake boyfriend. Angle said they were the best team since Starsky & Hutch. Angle then gave Karen an award for being the "First Lady Of Total Nonstop Angle". Karen thanked the "simpletons" of the Impact Zone, and when the fans booed, Kurt covered her ears. Jim Cornette came out with Matt Morgan and wondered if this was pro wrestling or the Golden Globes. Cornette congratulates Angle on winning all three TNA titles, but he wants to know which one he is going to keep and which two he is going to vacate. Angle says he is keeping all three titles. Cornette says that at PPV events, all titles have to be defended, so at No Surrender, he will have to defend all of the titles. Cornette said that he will defend the X-Division Title against Jay Lethal, he will defend the World Title against the winner of Abyss vs. Christian and he will be defending the tag titles against Team Pacman. Angle freaks out and grabs Cornette, but Matt Morgan shoves Cornette away. Security comes in to keep Angle and Morgan apart.

- Jeremy Borash interviewed Christian Cage. Cage said nobody cares about Pacman. Cage says he is going to take care of Abyss on his own, and notes that he has never submitted during his time in TNA. Samoa Joe enters and says Christian isn't a real champion, and that he will see him at ringside. When Joe leaves, Christian calls out to AJ Styles and Tomko, saying he needs their help.

- Abyss defeated Christian Cage in a First Blood match to keep his World Title match at No Surrender. During the match Tomko came out and gave Christian a screwdriver to use, but the referee sent him to the back. Christian missed a one-man Conchairto on Abyss. AJ Styles came out and pulled a barbed wire bat from under the ring. Samoa Joe came out and chased AJ away, then took the bat away before Christian could use it. Joe hit Christian with a chair, then tossed it to Abyss, who hit Christian with it as well, and Christian was busted open. After the match, Kurt Angle came out and attacked Abyss, hitting him with the chair. Karen picked up the chair and was about to hit Abyss with it as well, but Jim Cornette appeared on the screen and announced that next week Kurt Angle would be wrestling in a handicap match against the Steiner Brothers, and if the Steiners win, they get five minutes with Karen Angle.

After the match, Roode and Traci argued, and Kazarian came back in and pushed Roode away from Traci. Roode and Kazarian fight, with Kazarian kicking Roode out of the ring with the bicycle kick. Kazarian got on the mic and said that there are a few things wrong with Roode. He says Roode is a prick, and he doesn't know how to treat a lady. Kazarian then kissed Traci and left the ring. Traci left the wring with Roode, who kept yelling at Traci as they left.

- Ron Killings defeated Eric Young. Killings got on the mic and told the crowd to welcome the "most notorious man in sports" and brings out Pacman Jones. Pacman came out and spraypainted "Pac" on Young's back.

After the match, Kurt and Karen went to the back while Team 3D gave Scott 3D, then put him through a table with a powerbomb. Brother Ray got on the mic and announced that they had witnessed the end of the Steiners.
 
Terrible, terrible, terrible.

The TNA boycott movement has officially started.

If you haven't already, I implore the fans who used to like what TNA brought to the table to STOP watching. Don't watch Impact. Don't watch the PPV's. Don't buy the PPV's or the DVD's.

And even post on the myspace comment box. This has to stop now.

Dixie Carter is a NAIVE, incompetent, clueless, and weak-willed woman.

What myspace box?

I'll give TNA a maximum of five years before it goes bye bye. I can't see it lasting long while treading down the road it's on right now.

The sad thing is the ratings are 1.0-1.2 every week now.

Two-HOur show *almost* set for this Oct on Spike btw.
 
i just watched that ep of tna yesterday where Kurt Angle's walking around in his red bikini underwear the whole time...despite his massive ego stroke, it was pretty amusing.
 
THE OFFICIAL IMPACT BOYCOTT PRESS RELEASE

August 14, 2007

Grass roots “IGNORE TNA IMPACT INITIATIVE” rapidly gaining steam and generating discussion and debate among frustrated wrestling fans


As you may or may not already be aware, there is a rapidly growing grass roots movement afoot among the internet wrestling fan community to boycott this Thursday's Impact program, airing on 8/16.

Dubbed the "Ignore Impact Initiative", the approach and desired outcome is a positive one. The pro-active “voice of the people” is designed to send a clear, strong message to TNA management regarding widespread dissatisfaction over the recent booking trends and sharp swing back towards intelligence insulting, cheesy gimmickry and outright illogical marketing tactics. This, following an earlier summer series of shows where compelling wrestling based episodes were aired and tested - and without question proven beyond a shadow of doubt to garner consistently higher ratings for the promotion while offering itself as a true alternative for eager viewers.

This viral word-of-mouth boycott has quickly generated an amazingly strong reaction among thousands of frustrated wrestling fans and is spreading as we speak to thousands more. Starting within the talkimpact.com community on the evening of 8/15, the movement has within literally less than a 24 hour period spiked significant net traffic and publicity for the cause. This morning found multiple sports and wrestling hotlines, fan blogs and forums around the world discussing the crusade for change within TNA Wrestling. There is great interest in spotlighting the story from multiple wrestling radio shows, such as Between The Ropes for one prime example, and Brian Alverez of Figure 4 Weekly devoted a full seven minutes to the Ignore Impact Initiative to open his latest audio update today.

We have received word that several people involved with the Nashville based promotion are on board “off the record” and strongly supportive of this initiative for positive change within TNA creative.

Likely, you and your staff must share many of the same frustrations as expressed in this unprecedented fan outpouring. While it is understandable if you feel that a wholehearted endorsement of this boycott would compromise your journalistic neutrality, it would be much appreciated if you join others in the wrestling press in covering it as a news item. Please allow your readership and fellow wrestling fans to be made aware of the positive initiative to boycott the 8/16 episode of TNA Impact, and then let them decide for themselves if it is right for them to join the ranks in protest.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and we hope you make mention of this to your many loyal readers.

We are kind of giving this a WINK/NOD feel to Civil War.
 
TNA has gone down hill. But I still watch it on Saturday nights.
