"Guys, everyone is loving what WWE is doing right now, what could we possibly do to be successful like that?"
"Doesn't their new champion have a beard that people like?"
"Uhh... yeah?"
"Who on our roster has a beard?"
"Eric Young I guess."
"THAT'S IT!"

Whoa. I wish I actually finished the episode before catching up on the thread. Guess i didn't know that 1) they'd have the match tonight and 2) EY would actually win

I saw that and just steered clear.
Also, EY as TNA champ is weird. Definitely trying to pull off the Daniel Bryan thing, but come on, guys.

One of the funniest moments in wrestling history
Impressed that the gif even has the crowd audio from that moment
I don't watch TNA anymore but get that out of here.
Last time I watched TNA, dude was a tag team women's champion.
No surprise in TNA fashion they try to copy another success by forgetting the major part of it being a success, a build. While Daniel Bryan was an unintentional build, it was a build. For the past 3 years or so he's been fucked with and so have fans.
People are supposed to care that a joke character that was a male women's champion somehow became TNA champion because he grew a longer beard?

Does WWE Network have an option to turn down the quality of their streams?
I already noticed I am eating through by limit this month.

The new face of TNA. Here's hoping they don't make his reign irrelevant within a month or two, and that they actually give him the ball for a good while. EY has talent. He just needs to be given a chance to show it.
IS THIS THE START OF THE CHRISTY HEMME BOOKING ERA?
'Nite, all. DDP Yoga time.
I can't be the only one to think that EY kind of looks like Sponge Bob, right?

No. It adjusts to your connection speed. No manual quality option. There are tools to limit bandwidth to certain sites though, so you could try that if it's that bad.

When he wins the title.
Which will be never thanks to Okada/Shinsuke/Tanahashi trifecta
Well they just ruined Magnus forever by having him lose to the worst wrestler left in the roster. Gail Kim would be a more convincing heavyweight champion.
That being said I'd love it if EY came out with his knockouts tag team straps and promoted himself as a dual champion.

Before tonight, he had 3 singles match wins between 2012 and yesterday.
Jan 10, 2012 Impact: DQ win over Angelina Love
Nov 13, 2012 Impact: Pin win over Robbie E and Jessie Godderz
Sep 12, 2013 Impact: Win over Robbie E
Oh my god that's amazing

Pity. My connection speed is actually decent, but my bandwidth cap is 120GB. It is not matching up well.

Part of me also thinks this was a hotshot attempt to get ratings up because they have been bad over the last month or so. But, as we know with TNA, they are forever stuck in ratings hell...

EY is a great worker and when given a chance to have an actual match, he always delivers. Tonight, he was a fine babyface in peril and it was great to see him get his gold watch in TNA. They know there's nothing they can do to turn things around, so they're focusing on just making the talent happy, and tonight's deal worked just fine for me.

Why would they ape something that's still fresh in most people's minds? They're reaching Asylum movie territory with that copycat storyline.
The most shocking thing about TNA ratings is that makes it normally a pretty good number for Thursdays on cable and a great number for Spike in general. They can literally put out the worst wrestling product week in and week out since TNN ECW and it doesn't matter so long as all the money works out. With these new rosters cuts it is inevitable that they make some decent money this year.

Not if they keep running buildings they can't fill.
I was really hoping for Wreslte Kingdom he'd have a 'big name' porn star. Like Gianna Michaels or some shit.

Wait a second, didn't EY originally grow his beard years ago to get a title shot? That long term booking! Bean, Alucard, I'm with you guys. TNA4LYFE.
I love the fuck out of this gif
I would support Gianna in my wrasslin. Remember when ECW brought in Jenna Jameson? And then she did a vignette with Val Venis.
Something about the lighting or filming of this makes it look like a deleted scene from Ready to Rumble.

Lol, it really does, it's the blue-ish lighting.

I like NXT, but they are in desperate need of new blood, especially on the women's side. As soon as I saw Bayley come out I thought "Well it's either Sasha or Charlotte because the BFFs are the only heel women in NXT." The men's side isn't quite as bad, but they do need some turnover, which is why I'm glad to see Rose, Bo, and apparently Breeze getting a call-up. But Mojo needs to just go away.

He didn't, but he wouldn't post that for nothing. We might see vignettes on the actual show though that weren't shown live.
I don't get the Mojo hate. He is not incredible, but he is fun enough to watch, tonight he even incorporated his "I stay hype" thing in the ring, by moving here and there not allowing whoever he was fighting to focus (like Adam Rose does, but... different). He should stay in NXT until be a lot better, sure, but he's good there.

It's not really a fault of him, it's that he gets airtime every week on NXT when there are guys much more ready and deserving of that spot. He's really new and has potential I agree, but he's getting too much attention too soon.
Hell yes.

Definitely the most interesting thing they have on the backburner right now. GAF will love her!
I wonder if that's just someone's guess or it's actually real. I mean because I think those picks would totally be everyone's guess, right?
