yeah, they'll be in their current time slot through the end of the year

Nice. This makes me happy. 4 more months of TNA on TV at the very least. Sounds like Spike wants to see if TNA can maintain their momentum...well, at least the quality of their shows, as their latest rating showed that they don't really have momentum with fans, most of whom have given up on the company many times over.

Wow.

Wow indeed. I'm still hopeful it's just because the sudden change made people forget and that the number will steadily climb...or they'll lose viewers who just can't change their viewing habits.

TNA Impact's rating from this past Wednesday was a 0.65...down from 0.96 the week before. brrrrutal.

Is it true that Spike has extended Impact until the end of the year while they continue to negotiate?

Hooooly shit that's a hell of a hit.

smh...the boat keeps on sinking :/

They moved with a week's notice and no buildup, it was expected.

I wonder if Spike did that on purpose to fuck with them, and then lowball the shit out of them to buy em out

Don't think Impact needs any help tanking their ratings.

 

[Alucard]

I think Impact has had a great summer in terms of product quality. Probably my favourite wrestling show since Slammiversary.

Raw's been quite good too lately, though.

 

[Man God]

It's screwed up my podcast schedule for Friday at the very least!

Alucard, I need you to give me a somewhat detailed review of the Samoa Joe vs. Low-Ki match from the last episode of Impact Wrestling.

 

[Man God]

It was kinda like every Joe/Low Ki match, only squished down. Joe is also very out of shape.

Probably the best match of Hardcore Justice all things considered. Disappointing show.

Are you guys trying to tell me that Christy Hemme's pregnancy is NOT a draw?

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Maybe it's just me being a negative nancy, or maybe it's the deflecting form the Q&A, but I have a feeling that WWE 2k15 spent a lot of time on those graphics, and that the main game is going to be missing a LOT of features that were in the last three or four installments. Like I bet there's no Superstar Threads or WWE Universe mode. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised to see no 6 man tags in the game with the Wyatts and The Shield.

The defense force would have to jump through some serious hoops

The defense force would have to jump through some serious hoops

It will be entertaining to see what they come up with initially at least.

 

[FlammableD]

The defense force would have to jump through some serious hoops

They did confirm Universe mode would be in at least. But I agree, I'm expecting a similar level of quality of everything except the graphics.

I don't even understand the appeal of watching washed up WCW and WWE guys flounder about. There seems to never be any talk of great matches or angles happening in TNA has there been any in the last 2 years?

Best storyline of the past decade.

TNA sucks. You never get a match that's 20+ minutes even when the guys can go and the booking and layout of their matches are some of the worst I've ever seen. Their agents should be fired.

Bean Breath thinks only white people listen to Alice in Chains.

Cism.

Byron Saxton hyping up NXT Takeover 2: "History will be made once again on September 11"

I mean, he's talking about it being Takeover 2 right? He couldn't possibly...

 

[strobogo]

Byron is really bad. I have no idea why he's on camera so much. If he is good at writing and helping dudes with characters in NXT, then keep him doing that. On camera, he's the blankest slate I've ever seen. Absolutely zero personality. A weird inflection. That blank stare. No chemistry with anyone.

I keep forgetting he actually tried to be a wrestler

NXT commentary is oddly stagnant for a developmental show. Surely the point of NXT is that everyone involved is meant to be honing their craft, but it seems like everyone on commentary (Regal aside, obviously) doesn't make any effort to mix things up or improve week by week.

 

[DMczaf]

Indie Wrestling hour!!!

 

[Liu Kang Baking A Pie]

I don't know how you folks aren't noticing how much Byron excitedly argues with the other people and acts exasperated at their explanations of babyface motivations. He's definitely improving month by month.

 

[Vylash]

 

[Raw64life]

This one never gets old. Wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't the person who took the superplex lifting the other guy the second time.

 

[Mengetsu]

Ugh...why do people even.. People have no respect..

 

[DMczaf]

Why does he hold her? Why does she hold him?

Why.

It's still just so false though. It's like they can't decide whether he's play-by-play or colour. I think he's a decent play-by-play, but there's no personality there aside from the most basic heel commentary staples.

 

[British Monsoon]

Indie Wrestling hour!!

Fun fact, that Davey/Eddie brainbuster spot is from a Dynamite/Tiger Mask match, except it wasn't from the top rope - Tiger brainbustered Dynamite, but he rolled straight out of it and suplexed both of them over the ropes.

They are honing their craft. With the inane chatter, canned phrases and vaguely called moves it takes to make it as a RAW commentator.

I don't remember that one. That is hilarious.

 

[Showaddy]

Then all they need is a 3 hour mix tape of Vince screaming at them to shill, insult & degrade and their training will be complete.

 

[Sibersk Esto]

Ugh...why do people even.. People have no respect..

This isn't a lack of respect, it's just fucking disgusting

 

[PInk Tape]

Ugh...why do people even.. People have no respect..

What the hell...?

It wasn't funny then and it isn't funny now.

 

[BHZ Mayor]

This is the coolest yet dumbest spot I've ever seen. I mean, that set up to force the guy to tombstone his partner is very creative, but it's also dumb as fuck.

I can't stop laughing. What the fuck were they even going for? Jesus Christ.
