The Wrestling Thread got interviewed by Sean Mooney

[Wheels]

Shaw sucks. I hope he doesn't get a contract.

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

A Chavo chant? Wut duh hell?

 

[Nightmare]

Chavo!!!

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Every time someone jumps to TNA from WWE they always make that same "I see great talent in the locker room" speech. Just an observation.

 

[NDX]

Who is that short, tattooed gentleman who smokes 2 packs a day? I know his less vertically challenged...

Oh, finally, they said he was Kid Kash. And Gunner. So, are they Team Sleeve Tattoos now?

 

[TX85]

Hernandez&Chavo are tag teaming up eh?

 

[Metallo]

Always liked Kid Kash. Gunner...not so much.

Hopefully they put Chavo with Hernandez somehow so he can teach him something about wrestling. Thats the best use for Chavo with younger raw talent.

 

[Superark]

Just tuned into Impact. Good segment with Chavo. It's smart to put Gunner with a veteran like Kash to learn and grow. Given their personalities, those two together make a lot of sense and should have good chemistry. Smart move. Same thing applies to Chavo teaming with Hernandez.

Tag matches between those four could lead to a lot of fun.

 

[Wheels]

Definitely. He can also help some of the X Division guys became more than spot monkeys.

 

[TX85]

Great match between AJ&Storm But the Aces&Eights beat down may have ruined it(depends what happens after the commercial)

 

[Superark]

Great match between Aj and Storm! They tore it up!

I have no problem with the non-finish because both guys are coming off losses in the series and those two should be front runners who have few losses. Plus it continues the story they set into motion tonight with Storm and the group.

It's not Storm bringing in Aces & Eights.

 

[NDX]

So, Joey Ryan, who lost Gut Check, has been on more than any of those who have won. And the point of this now is?

 

[Superark]

Gutcheck makes no sense to me if they are going to say yes to everyone who competes, yet somehow loses when they do.

I understand the first guy Silva was a case of Flair going off script and saying Yes when it was suppose to be no, but they are killing this gimmick by giving everyone a contract.

Joey Ryan has been the only redeeming thing about it.

 

[Wheels]

Sam Shaw gets a contract?

Really?

Really?

Really?

 

[Superark]

It's not Storm bringing in Aces & Eights.

Well that's obvious. I was just saying they are continuing the seed they planted tonight in the first segment.

Of course it's going to be Jarrett.

 

[NDX]

Sam Shaw gets a contract?

Really?

Really?

Really?

Riley!

 

[MMMMM...Pancakes]

Riley!

Jimmy!

 

[TX85]

They really do seem to be pushing the X-Division!

 

[Wheels]

Riley!

Jimmy!

....but seriously why does Sam Shaw get a contract, while Velvet Sky who is actually OVER is denied a rasie?

 

[Metallo]

Sexism? For a more sure answer: they know they can pay Shaw PEANUTS to do all kinds of crazy sh** and destroy his body in the ring because he's hungry for a shot. Its true for a lot of newer young guys that come to TNA. Shaw might get paid per appearance. If he sticks around long enough and gets over enough to have the stones to negotiate for a better contract he'll be kicked to the curb like so many guys before him if he doesn't take TNA's deal. Unless he shows a certain high level of talent like Aries or Roode or Storm. They keep guys like that and try to meet them somewhere in the middle financially.

Well that's obvious. I was just saying they are continuing the seed they planted tonight in the first segment.

Of course it's going to be Jarrett.

What you said. All that. Great match between Storm and Styles.

At least Bully and Angle got to finish their match. I'll call it now. Tonights Impact was better than Raw overall.

 

[TX85]

damn good ME

 

[Superark]

I need to catch up on IMPACT before the Chavo segment, but everything I saw tonight was good stuff, with the Gutcheck segment being the only exception.

Good main event. TNA does a great job of giving you a heavy dose of meaningful wrestling each week. Even when there is a non-finish or run-in, it doesn't feel cheap like the Russo days. Everything feels like it leads to something and part of the progression of story and characters.

 

[runawayboulder]

So who are the actual guys in Aces and Eights? Are they just random jobbers or known wrestlers?

 

[TX85]

eh kinda known wrestlers I guess But have been jobbers
