Wrestling Thread, Not Only Are You Next...You're Last! - Part 233

[TheCommissioner]

no its not

the Hardys shouldn't be the focal point of anything

you take the belt off of EC3 and give it to Matt Hardy??? really?

 

[TX85]

Has billy corgan, commentators or anybody talk about TNA and it's future during BFG or are they pretending like everything is fine and normal as usual?

 

[TheCommissioner]

if a deal is being discussed, legally its sticky to talk about so its probably being ignored for now

I was told Bryan Alvarez said that WWE isn't buying it. That's all I know so far.

Heavy speculation that

Spoiler

Alberto El Patron will debut tonight. He no-showed a AAA PPV event tonight that he was scheduled to main event and was spotted around town in Orlando

honestly, that sounds like a very Alberto thing to do considering how he left AAA/LU the last time

 

[famicommander]

I saw some people on a few other boards post something like this, and i thought i'd expand on it

WWE has spent the better part of three years trying and failing to get Roman Reigns over

Meanwhile, in the last six months Matt Hardy has gotten himself, his wife, his son, his father in law who poses as a gardener, a boat, a drone, Crazzy Steve, the 2016 version of Abyss, and Jeff Hardy's Willow character over. In a promotion where the fans had been known to chant "fat Hardy" during his matches.

 

[S. Grundy]

Hardys vs. Decay in "The Great War" was ridiculous and over-the-top and just amazing.

 

[Wheels]

I think that AAA might be using the no show to make Alberto a heel. Might as well use the view that I and other fans already have of him to make money.

Getting to the Impact Zone was a pain in the ass and Florida weather sucks due to the humidity, but

Orlando...we're here!

Jeremy Borash, Allie, Grado, Braxton Sutter, and Raquel were on the pre-show panel. Not sure if the viewers at home saw it or not.

Jade defeated Sienna in the pre-show match. (Explosion taping.)

I bought the VIP package and got a front row seat! Its good to be the king!

Zema Ion defeated Trevor Lee to retain the X-Division Championship in a great opener.

Eli Drake is Mr. Bound For Gold. YEAH!

Moose defeated Mike Bennett. My only complaint of the show.

Damien Sandow defeated Eddie Edwards by split decision to win the Grand Championship. The UFC-like rules are weird, but I can get used to it. The fans chanting "Pay your power bill!" when the lights went out was hilarious.

Gail Kim gave an emotional Hall Of Speech fame. Congratulations to her!

 

[Slushy]

Oh, yes. There would be blood! The Great War had a lot of hype and this stole the PPV. Jeff got stapled in the head! The fans went completely apesh** for this insane tag team match! The best part was being able to record The Decay's entrance. Gives me goosebumps every time.

Gail Kim defeated Maria Kanellis to win back the Knockouts Championship. She had to after a 9 month build-up.

Cody showed up! The Rhodes beat up Mike & Maria after he was shooting off his big mouth threatening to stop the PPV.

 

[Slushy]

It sucks they had to follow the tag title match, but I thought the No Holds Barred world title match was a solid main event.

Lashley winning was a complete shocker (since they were doing the whole redemption storyline with EC3 since he lost the title one year ago at the event), but The Destroyer retaining was the right call. His booking has been tremendous and he got screwed out of defending The Title at the event 2 years ago due to budget cuts. Carter cut a heartfelt promo after the match. Not sure if that was televised or not. I'm shocked by all the clean wins tonight. There was like no interference.




I had an absolute blast and met almost the whole roster tonight. This was worth the cross country travel and if this is the company's final PPV, they went out with a bang! A great show top to bottom with a hot crowd. Thank you, TNA!

Cool to hear the crowd was hot, they really need to mic the crowds better so it comes through on TV better.

 

[Lobo]

Great pics Slushy. Glad you had a good time. Sounds like a great show.

 

[SpideyVille]

So I love Seth and all, but tonight's pre-view for raw indicates that we're going to see more buildup in his feud with KO, and I've gotta ask: Does Seth really deserve all of these chances, from a story perspective? I mean, he returned and took the belt off of Roman, which made sense and was great, but for reasons that are completely understandable, he lost it right away to Ambrose, and since then, he has had like what, 8 matches that involved either the World or Universal Championship, and he has lost every single one.

At what point does this become too much? I know they're obviously setting up a feud with Triple H, and that should keep him busy for a month or two, depending on how long they plan on stretching that out, but has it gotten kinda tiring to see him lose every championship match in one way or another? I wouldn't mind if they brought it up from a story perspective in the same way that they have for Dolph recently, but they haven't really done a great job in explaining why he has earned as many title shots as he has.

 

[runawayboulder]

Slushy is my personal hero for that pic of Maria.

NOTE: Was unable to find Eddie Edwards vs Aron Rex (Damien Sandow) for the TNA Grand Championship

 

[WereCoyote]

So did Drew Galloway just no show since Eddie Edwards took his place?

 

[TheFuture]

Drew was there and cut a pretty good promo.

Hard to believe that's the same guy who I didn't rate a couple of years ago, character wise.

 

[OnTheAir]

Oh, Ric. You stay classy.

 

[TX85]

Oh, Ric. You stay classy.

What did he do or say this time?

[TX85]

Oh lol

 

[OnTheAir]

If it's true, then why even put that out there? It's not our business, and should remain between the two of them. Then he's asked to name others, and he declines? So the sista is the only one whose business he wants to put on Front Street?

Ric is my favorite wrestler of all time. Watched a ton of JCP/NWA while growing up in the 80s. Loved his combination of in-ring and promo skills. But Ric outside of the ring, when the cameras aren't on, is a difficult man for me to root for.

 

[TX85]

At least it shows he's not racist towards black woman

Naming her and her alone could suggest otherwise. I'm not saying he is...I don't know. I've heard rumors like anyone else. Still, that's one sista that even the biggest bigot would more than likely want to "add to his list."

 

[Pink Ranger]

A castrated gay Nazi wouldn't pass up an opportunity to have sex with Halle Berry circa 1996.

Nice to know that playing Catwoman is not the stupidest thing she's ever done.
