TNA/Impact Thread (Spoilers)

I was just about to post that.

I was listening to Sam Roberts' show last night (YT link in the WWE forum 1 hour and 6 minutes in) and he talked about the Hardys feud and it was hilarious. He called it "The Room of pro wrestling angles" and said he's been trying to bring Matt on his Sirius XM show and TNA won't let him come on because they think he's just going to shit on him (which he will, because he's Sam Roberts and shits on nearly everything as a disciple of Anthony Cumia.)

I'm about to watch my first TNA show for probably two years, maybe 3.

A minutes silence for the nightclub shooting. Wonder how far it was from the Impactzone?

Lots of kids in the crowd.

[Bandit]

Wonder how far it was from the Impactzone?

8 1/2 miles.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Bring back Don West!

8 1/2 miles.

Pretty close.

[Bandit]

Bring back Don West!

Agreed. Don was shit for the first 4 years (although his pitches to order the next weekly PPV were always awesome), but he got good after that and finally developed chemistry with Tenay.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

Even early Don West was better than these two.

[Bandit]

You'd be hard pressed to find someone worse than Matthews and Pope.

And at least Don had some unintentional comedy moments like the time during a Lo-Ki match he was trying to think of a movie the match reminded him of for 3 minutes. "You know, it was like an Oriental movie!" (Mike ignores him) "You know, it had people jumping up and doing crazy stunts!" (Mike ignores him) (a minute later) "The Matrix! That's it!"

Billy Corgan is onscreen with the women's pre-match bullshit, I googled him to see something and this news popped up:

Smashing Pumpkins frontman and long-time professional wrestling fan and creative mind Billy Corgan has purchased a minority share of TNA Wrestling, according to a new report from PWInsider.com. Corgan, 49, has been with the company for a little over a year already, working backstage in Creative and Talent Development.

There have been rumors and speculation for months about TNA looking to sell ownership to keep Impact Wrestling afloat in the U.S., however persistence from current company President Dixie Carter on maintaining her majority share in the promotion have ultimately materialized nothing – until now. This deal will obviously see Corgan’s decision-making powers within TNA increase dramatically, while Carter retains majority owner.

[Bandit]

He should have just gone to the bank, withdrew a million bucks and made a music video with burning money like KLF.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

It was an alright show. There were some good matches and there was nothing really bad but I just couldn't get into it.

[Hawq]

Slammiversary Eli Drake nearly falling off the ropes twice, I laughed a lot.
Bad day for the British guys though, not the result I wanted to see.

[Dr. Zoidberg]

-- TNA was supposed to be airing a semi-live Impact Wrestling broadcast tonight, but due to what POP TV is claiming to be technical difficulties the show has yet to get underway.

TNA Wrestling and POP TV have issued the following statements:

[Bandit]

People in the wrestling business or anchors of a small market morning local news show?

[Dr. Zoidberg]

"And now it's time to cross to Don West where he will tell us about the Shark Rotator Professional Lift-Away Upright Vacuum."

Dixie looks like she's been hitting the botox hard.

That was complete shit. Not even a funny trainwreck, just a bad indie match with firework guns.
