The Wrestling Thread Is Full, But We Hear TNA Is Hiring! - - - Part 252

[Dr. Evil]

Sigh....

Vince has a Hugh G. Rection for Roman

 

[Broseph44]

A couple Superman punches and a spear!! And Roman wins?! Holy **** who would’ve ever seen that coming!! What an ending to RAW!

 

[javonstokess]

The last couple of months I've been watching RAW on fast forward (DVR the first two hours and then speed through the garbage).


Tonight, I think I'm about done with the show. Not even my love of Sasha Banks (who's stuck in a go nowhere "feud" with Bayley) can keep me around. I'll continue to watch Smackdown because it's moderately entertaining, but I think I'm done here.



Oh yeah, no way in hell am I watching SummerSlam now.

However on NXT....

You might see Matt Riddle in attendance. Have you ever seen him? If so, what do you think?

I haven’t seen him but I have heard some good things.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I haven’t seen him but I have heard some good things.

He is great. You will learn to love him like you have with the rest of the NXT Roster.

Brock vs reigns again, predictable

"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"
Albert Einstein

 

[The Chris]

I guess it's gonna be our duty in Brooklyn that night to give everyone flashbacks to Wrestlemania 20. Just savage them both.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Afterbuzz is saying that a Triple threat match could still happen but it's just a guest on their part.

Preach Albert.

My buddy and I really wanna do Takeover. Dunno if I’d go to Slam but if I got the chance I would and I’d def help savage them and rip them apart.

 

[The Chris]

Brock probably doesn't care but i wonder if in the back of his mind he's thinking "Why am I always working with this guy?". I mean good lord we barely see him and when we do it's with the same bore. My first main roster pay per view in person and that's the main event!? Again? It's so disappointing.

 

[Mani-Man]

Oh what a surprise, Reigns wont:
Its laughable at this point what they try to pull there with Reigns...a bad joke on our part.


Anyway...All womans PPV? Yeah im happy with that.
A bit strange to annouce that in the same show that had 3 womans matches had divas era length...but okay.
Maybe this PPV helps make the whole womans revolution be more than a smoke screen.
They will need to build up some feuds etc for that, need to put the focus on the woman and give them the time to sell this...everything the womans revolution should have done since its beginning.

Im so offended that stephanie puts herself in the front with this all, as if she invented this all.
It was Trips who gave the woman at nxt a chance, which they took and build on it.

 

[Jaiden Edo]

Wrestling is killing it everywhere except for Vince's beloved Monday Night Raw.

 

[Mani-Man]

Well they do kill it...in the true sense of the word. XD XD

I honestly dont know what i would do if wrestling wise there would only be the WWE.

But you have so much fantastic wrestling out there, im really glad for that at least.

 

[Loki882]

If they try and headline the first all-women's PPV with Carmella and Alexa as champions, then this thing is in trouble right out of the gate.

 

[_Superman_]

Honestly I think it would be best if Reigns took a break or went to Smackdown for a while. If you're not going to turn him heel then give the people a reason to cheer him by having the people miss him for a while and cheer when he returns. Why not try and ride that wave instead of shoving him down everyone's throats.

 

[SuperBatman]

As long as this leads to Brock losing the title I really don't care. I am so tired of having a champion that doesn't show up we need somebody with the title that shows up every week. I actually see Brock winning and see Braun cashing in.

Of course we all want the title there on someone who will be there to defend it. But we also are sick of this Roman agenda. Both situations are annoying.

Saving the character of Roman Reigns would be easy on paper, but to archive that...Vince Mcmahon would have to admit that his way was the wrong way...and that will never happen.
He rather destroys the whole company than admitting that the Project "make Roman Reigns into this generations hulk hogan/john cena" has failed.

Of course we all want the title there on someone who will be there to defend it. But we also are sick of this Roman agenda. Both situations are annoying.

Yeah, either a annoying champion who is never there...or a annoying champion that is always there and always wins and gets shoved down our throat every walking minute.

Complete Impact Wrestling TV Taping Results From 7/23: Episodes to Air in July and August *Spoilers*

Spoiler

Thanks to Wrestling INC. reader MrEddyG for sending in these results from tonight's Impact Wrestling television tapings in Toronto:


There was a video for "Kids Up Front", a local group helping underprivileged youths. There was also a moment of silence for the victims of the Toronto shootings on Sunday. Very classy by Impact. The blue ring ropes were back.



* The OGz w/Eddie Kingston vs an announced tag team. The OGz came out with the tag titles that are still spray painted. Not surprisingly the OGz won in a squash. Kingston gets a mic and asks where LAX are. Eddie says LAX is dead, but LAX appear and get the upper hand. Ortiz has a small axe and tried to use it on Homicide, but referees from the back put a stop to it.



Xplosion:

* Stone Rockwell vs Kongo Kong "weighing damn near 400 pounds" as the ring announcer put it! Rockwell made fun of Jimmy and Kongo, saying he helped Ed raise his brother "Bongo." Kong didn't take too kindly and attacked before the bell. Kong wins with running crossbody. Jacobs adds insult to injury by hitting Rockwell with his man purse as he was trying to get back up.


Impact:

* Petey Williams vs "The Bone Soldier" Taiji Ishimori. Ishimori wins with a double underhook into a face first knee. They shake and embrace after, but are attacked by The Desi Squad from behind. Ishimori is thrown into the ring stairs outside and Williams takes a Sky High.



Austin Aries is out next. He puts over Slammiversary and all of the people in the back. Aries then issues an open challenge to anyone from anywhere for his title. Eddie Edwards with his kendo comes from the crowd to attack AA and puts him down with a double arm DDT.



Scarlett Bourdeaux is interviewed on the ramp. Scarlett says she she will not be held down or hotshamed by the interviewer. Scarlett calls herself "The Smokeshow" and is here to make wrestling sexy again.



* Trevor Lee (w/ Caleb Konley) vs Johnny Impact. A lot of outside interference from Caleb here. Johnny wins with Starship Pain in a solid match. Johnny gets a mic and says it's great to be here in Toronto and back in Impact. He says he wants to be the World Champion, but first has unfinished with Kongo Kong and will not rest until he takes Kongo to Slam Town in the Impact Zone.


* Tessa Blanchard defeated Rebel in a short match with her Hammerlock DDT.



* Gamma Singh is introduced and he brings out the Desi Hit Squad. Fallah Bahh & KM are their opponents. The Desi Squad wins. Bahh & KM tease tension between them; the crowd chants "Hug It Out" and they do eventually.



* Reborn Matt Sydal vs The New X Division Champion Brian Cage in a Slammiversary rematch was nex. Excellent match. Cage retains with The Drill Claw.



* The KO's Champion Su Yung & and an unnamed bridesmaid (looks a lot like KC Spinelli, the other bridesmaids are with them) vs Kiera Hogan & Allie. Allie pins Su to get the victory. Tessa Blanchard attacks Allie after the match.



* Impact World Title: Dustin Quicksilver (from The Battle Arts Academy accompanied by Santino Marella) vs Austin Aries, who's wearing street clothes. Aries hits a brain buster late in the match, but pulls up Dustin from the cover to inflict more punishment. Santino throws in the towel and the referee ends the match. Aries isn't finished and applies The Last Chancery, Santino comes in to help and kicks AA in the groin. AA goes up the ramp where Eddie Edwards appears and hits AA with a kendo stick again. AA heads to the back and Eddie points to Santino in a show of respect.



* Grado & Joe Hendry are in tag action (w/ Katarina accompanying them) vs Eli Drake & Trevor Lee (w/ Caleb Konley). Drake asks the crowd if he should tag Lee, and says he's not tagging him at one point. There's some miscommunication between Joe & Grado which leads to Drake hitting The Gravy Train on Grado to win.


Xplosion match:

* Toronto's Josh Alexander- (also from The Battle Arts Academy) vs Killer Kross. "Walking Weapon" chants for Kross early on. Kross eventually wins with a Cobra Clutch type submission. Good effort from Alexander though.



Impact match:

* This is the main event for tonight: OVE (Dave & Jake Crist w/ Sami Callihan) vs Pentagon Jr. & Fenix. Sami is wearing a sling and a cast after his arm was broken. Another great match. Fenix & Pentagon Jr. win with Fenix doing a double stomp onto Jake with Pentagon holding him into The Pentagon Driver.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So the WWE plans on making Roman the top face of the entire company despite the fact that Ronda Rousey is on the roster and has been everything they have ever wanted out of a possible "face of the company"

That makes no sense.

 

[DOBSON10]

Braun still has his cash in, he's getting that Universal belt sooner or later so I'm not all that worried about Reigns beating Brock.

 

[chamber-music]

Nia Jax teams with her cousin Ramona Reigns!

Superwoman punches for everyone

 

[Mani-Man]

Braun still has his cash in, he's getting that Universal belt sooner or later so I'm not all that worried about Reigns beating Brock.

Oh if i could only believe in that.

Which brings me to the Briefcase...the fact that its the price in the strowman vs owens match...is just dumb.
Not only that, but the whole thing is stupid as hell.
Can he cash it in if Brock does show up once? Or is this not allowed now until after Summerslam?

The whole giving Strowman the briefcase and what came out of it...is wwe idiot sandwich writing at its finest.
You give the briefcase to someone who is clearly above the briefcase, to a brand that has a champion that barely shows up...destroying the surprise aspect of it...and now you have this match that pretty much tells us that he wont cash in until the SS match is over.

Its just a god damn mess.
