Total Nonstop Action wrestling thread

[Will E Worm]

WTF?? WCW last night i watched a few minutes even though i said i would miss it.
Brian Knobs cannot move in the ring and it makes the dudleys look like they have to slow down their pace , and the other joke i dont even know his name he had one point in that match where he did 4 eye rakes in a row!!!
if you cant expand your wrestling moves beyond eye rakes,punches and body slams then you should not be on Tv or in a wrestling organization for that matter.
and what is with the Nicknames of the announcers?
TAZ "FTW 13" ??? huh? fuck the world 13? and MIKE TENAY "the PROFESSOR" i remember tony schiovone hating to have to work with him because he was so bad and pretty much names every single move the wrestler would do...every single move!
that table match was atrocious to watch and people paid money to go to that shit hole (old home of WCW saturday night on TBS??? it looks it to me)
and watch this company disintegrate before their eyes?!!!

That's Hogan and Bischoff for you.

They brought these guys in to show the young talent how things are done. Basically entertain not wrestle.

They need to go or be fired.

It was like watching a talk show last night.

Total-Nonstop Talking (TNT) :hatsoff:

The few matches they had scheduled were short and Mr. Anderson didn't wrestle, he just talked and took a chair shot from Angle.

Things have to change soon.

....And NO Beautiful People / Angelina on the show at all??

But yet there was time for 3D to carry The Nasty Boys fat asses thru a segment and Waltman and Hall to be out of breath after 2 mins.....

Say what you want about the guy, but just imagine if Vince had Angelina and The Beautiful People??

I didn't even watch TNA because I didn't see The Beautiful People on the card. Instead I played Heavy Rain. Anyway, if Vince actually used Angelina or The Beautiful People correctly it might reinvigorate the Diva division but that's a big if because Gail Kim is being sorely misused.

Gail Kim is old. :tongue: She also said bad things about TNA.
She just wants to make money, she doesn't care about wrestling.

Same thing with Vince he doesn't care about wrestling.

This is why Vince doesn't deserve the Beautiful People or Angelina Love.

I've got an idea. Oh man this is gold. Wait for it............Three Count reunion tour. Eh, whatever.

Helms is now available. Maybe that is band that is getting back together.

Vince LITERALLY would have Angelina and the Beautiful People, and then their push would be off the chart! :rofl:

 

[Rezen]

Vince has had Velvet, Angelina and Lacey all under contract at one time and didn't do shit with them.

He didn't think Angel Williams had the face
Didn't think Lacey had any skill what-so-ever (He as right)
Velvet was fresh off of Tough Enough and wasn't near ready for WWE yet.

TNA & AAA Reach Agreement

TNA and Mexican promotion AAA have seemingly come to a talent exchange agreement of some sort, as AAA announced today that two TNA stars would compete at the Rey de Reyes event on March 12.

Mr. Kennedy (which is how he is billed by AAA) will take part in a fourway match with Latin Lover, Electroshock and current AAA champion El Mesias (formerly Judas Mesias in TNA), while Lacey Von Erich teams with Rain (formerly Peyton Banks in TNA) and Sexy Star against Cinthia Moreno, Faby Apache & Mary Apache.

The Honky Tonk Man To Sue TNA & Bubba The Love Sponge

FIGHT SHOW UPDATE: FEBRUARY 24 - Arda interviewed the Honky Tonk Man. Highlights: - Announcing that he plans to file a lawsuit against Bubba The Love Sponge and TNA after disparaging and slanderous remarks made by Bubba the Love Sponge resulting in Honky Tonk not receiving as many bookings in the indy wrestling circuit as he could have. Talking smack about Bubba, including having "his feet sticking out of Hogan's ass" Another quote of the day candidate: "If Elizabeth had come with me instead of Luger, she might still be alive today" Also on the show were WEC title challenger Dominick Cruz and Strikeforce Color Commentar at tonight's event Pat Miletich.

Honky Tonk Man is not worse for media whoring than Hogan. :nono:

I hope he wins his case. Bischoff should have kept his mouth shut

Gail is, IMHO, the hottest woman in wrestling. She is also the best in the ring. Sadly, Vince does not care for her as she is just a jobber. She was the num,ber one female babyface in TNA. Now, she is dancing around w/ the Belle Twins and jobbing wk in and wk out. Epic fail.

Oh, and Vince deserves Lacey, cause she fucking sux.

Lance Storm Bashes The Crap Out Of Ken Anderson & TNA

I think Ken Anderson has been so AWFUL on promos it's a channel changer for me.

His promo last week with angle actually made me turn the show off after Angle's awesome promo, and this week he talked forever in his first promo and I could not have possibly cared less.

He is doing the flippant Too Cool for School goof ball character, which in my opinion is the worst possible character. He makes light of absolutely everything as if it doesn't matter than ultimately it ends up not mattering.

Last week after Kurt was so hot at him for spitting on the USA and Dead Soldiers, Anderson came out with this goofy who cares flippant personality. HOW does that draw money? He treated it like a joke and thus it became one.

This week his promo with Christy went on forever and I ended up not having a clue what he was talking about, but when you go back and look he actually talked about laying out Kurt, spitting on America and going after a title tonight (TWO MAJOR ISSUES) yet finished off flippantly talking about fighting gorillas to the point we forgot his issue with Kurt and his title match with Rob. Almost a textbook example of a BAD promo.

Article

Then they bury the Kurt program even deeper by having Anderson cut another f***ing promo while Kurt stands behind him for over a minute with a chair. If Kurt gave a flying f*** about Anderson laying him out or spitting on America why didn't he hit him right away rather than waiting for a minute for the comedy pop of watching Kurt stand behind him while Anderson was unaware.

This show was horrible and Anderson's character and promo work are ATROCIOUS. Yes he talks well but he buries the entire program with the way in which his talks and carries himself. He is my least favourite character on the show and that covers a lot of ground because this entire show SUCKS.

Also I can't believe no one pointed out that Anderson was KILLED by one chair shot (yes Bryan pointed this out) BUT Abyss was hit with 3 or 4 and was still on his feet later in the show. I could book a better show with a WEEGEE board.

Lance

Good one Lance. :hatsoff:

 

[Rezen]

LOL, Lance Storm saying a guy can't cut a good promo is the pot calling the kettle black. Mr. Kennedy has a few really good promos in his Smackdown time and is ten times the mic worker Lance was/is.

I've always liked Lance and thought of him as a great wrestler but he has no business telling anyone how to cut a promo or if they're being boring.

 

[jumbo_jim]

I caught Impact this week and didn't like it.

I just don't believe the AJ Styles character
Nasty Boyz were poor 15 years ago but served a purpose then. Now they don't - They are an older slower Team 3D.
Mr. Anderson's promo's were to drawn out.
Where was The Pope, Daniels.

The only thing on the show I liked is that Abyss is getting turned back into a monster.

but the guy could wrestle,who cares what they say. him and RVD used to put on SICK matches during the old ECW days,and back then the fans didnt care if you could cut a promo they cared deeply about your ability to wrestle. we are watching WRESTLING right?? not PROMOING

People are brainwashed from too many years watching WWF/WWE.

Vince doesn't know anything about wrestling.
He is the worse thing to ever happen to wrestling.

Lance Storm is definitely one of the best wrestlers I've ever seen live. He was so smooth a fluid in his moves. At the time he was with Justin Credible, Lance was a top five guy in the ring.

I still don't think he should be talking shit on someones mic work. He could wrestle circles around Mr. Anderson but even if Anderson's promo dragged on, it was more exciting than almost any Lance Storm promo, although I did dig the "If I can be serious for a minute" promo intro.

Hulk Hogan and Eric Bischoff made a visit to the Knokx Pro Wrestling School in Burbank, CA yesterday.

Rikishi, Orlando Jordan, Gangrel and Black Pearl operate the school, and the students had the chance to work out in front of Hogan and Bischoff while they were there.

As many wrestlers as TNA has and are not using you have to be joking.

Hogan and Bischoff have to go!

Good for Kong. It would be nice if Vinny Mac gives her a chance a books her like the female Vader that she is. Love her Shimmer and Indy stuff.

 

[mushroomhunting]

does TNA tour at all? or are they doing the show in the same location all the time? I know going cross country every week is tough on these guys, but they gotta be able to pull a bigger crowed here and there, especially with Hogan around.
