TNA Impact Viewership results:

1/23 Viewership: 517,000 + 86,000 for replay for 603,000 viewers
1/30 Viewership: 431,000 + 153,000 replay for a total of 584,000 viewers

So they lost a bit but a lot watched a replay. So they are most watched show on Destination America it seems.

It's must of been hard to wake up this morning as a SeaHawks fan.

My friend in Seattle said it was raining. Not that it's you know... uncommon.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Nothing points to Roman being THE guy.

 

[bean breath]

Signed back up for the Network for the live podcast tonight.

Still got Feb free (even as a previous subscriber), lol carnies

Is that right?

 

[Professor Beef]

Superman Punch can be renamed "Reignmaker."
Spear can be renamed "Reigngutter."

 

[Fox318]

Nothing points to Roman being THE guy.

one thing points

the thing between Vince's pants

 

[Jimmy King]

Nothing points to Roman being THE guy.

You sure about that?

 

[Aiii]

Is that right?

Yes, as I said earlier, I got a free month even though my sub ran out on January 31st, so if you have a lapsed sub, go for it.

 

[Serpentine]

Nothing points to Roman being THE guy.

you're sending me mixed messages here! Is Roman Reigns THE guy or is he not THE guy???

 

[Toki767]

Nothing points to Roman being THE guy.

Ambrose probably has the best chance at being the main guy if they protected him a bit more.

 

[UberTag]

Nothing points to Roman being THE guy.

So long as Vince says he's the guy that's the only thing that matters.
I suspect Heyman will work wonders and make the pre-match booking for that main event pretty watchable despite having to put over Roman largely on his own.

 

[Marvel]

You sure about that?

 

[Angry Grimace]

Ambrose probably has the best chance at being the main guy if they protected him a bit more.

no no no, see, being shit on and losing all your matches is part of being a face.


Signed, Vince

So why aren't they doing it with Reigns?

 

[Marvel]

 

[UberTag]

So why aren't they doing it with Reigns?

Reigns gets preferential treatment. Simple as that.

 

[Fox318]

you can see parts of his soul die just from doing that

 

[Angry Grimace]

So why aren't they doing it with Reigns?

I don't know, why are they letting Reigns talk on camera?

 

[Marvel]

you can see parts of his soul die just from doing that

Yeah I said that when I first posted it a while back, cold dead eyes lol.

"Don't you ever make me do that again goddammit!"

 

[Toki767]

Reigns gets preferential treatment. Simple as that.

That's the whole point though. Vince knows how to book a guy to succeed. He just doesn't seem to want everyone but one or two people to be successful for some reason.

 

[Sephzilla]

you can see parts of his soul die just from doing that

You can literally see his enthusiasm die off midway through

 

[Officerrob]

Is Reigns merch flying off the shelves? How about them house show draws?
Are they expecting these things AFTER the crowing?

Also.

RANDY ORTON!

According to WWEshop, the Miz's new shirt is selling better than Reigns's new shirt among men, women, and kids (100% serious)

 

[Jimmy King]

What do you think Vince did right after that take?

"God dammit get me a steak right now!"

 

[RP912]

If only

:/ these fake posters are cutting into my soul.

 

[Fox318]

You can literally see his enthusiasm die off midway through

Its that nod right before he starts it.

"Ok..now is when I do the yes thing?"

 

[UberTag]

That's the whole point though. Vince knows how to book a guy to succeed. He just doesn't seem to want everyone but one or two people to be successful for some reason.

That's just his mentality. Same one he had with Cena, Hogan and others.
He's going to put all his eggs in one basket and to hell with everyone else.
Is it smart business? Probably not. But it's how he operates. No point expecting him to change.

 

[Alucard]

Just heard Cena's promo from Smackdown last week. Jesus. Calling women hos in 2015. What a good guy. What a hero.

 

[Dr Duncan Steel]

Stro didn't defect, he's trying to help me out by getting traffic for legitshook.com. I'll have you know he hates the place. He called it "A place with like 60,000 Duncans and Fox318s"

 

[Jimmy King]

Between Reigns and Bryan, I feel like we've forgotten who's really most important. This post is dedicated to Johnathan Felix Anthony Cena and the United States Armed Forces.

 

[UberTag]

Just heard Cena's promo from Smackdown last week. Jesus. Calling women hos in 2015. What a good guy. What a hero.

Slut shaming is just what Cena has always done.

[Rats Off To Ya]

I didn't know the Yes chant could look so painful.

 

[Data West]

It's really fucking jarring seeing someone as the focus other than Cena.

 

[Xater]

Stro came back, posted a really long shoot kind of shitting on everyone post royal rumble, got rebanned (2 month ban), and took his ball over to reddit

Found the post. Heh..

While I looked for that I saw the Reigns interview. Boy does that guy come off as a douche.

 

[Vylash]

people lap that shit up whenever Rock does it

 

[Marvel]

I didn't know the Yes chant could look so painful.

Only known cure to this pain is Samoan lip licking.

 

[Jimmy King]

people lap that shit up whenever Rock does it

or Ambrose

or Bryan

 

[Fox318]

And he is the only one aside from the Usos and Nikki that is able to care for people with cancer.

[FlammableD]

It's been a wild 24 hours.

Yeah, Happy EndingsGAF is back!

 

[Marvel]

or Ambrose

or Bryan

or Jericho.

 

[RP912]

or Jericho.

or Edge

 

[Jimmy King]

Yeah, Happy EndingsGAF is back!

 

[Fox318]

Only way they could add a storyline or steak to a Bryan - Ziggler match is to make it a number 1 contenders match for the next PPV.

 

[Serpentine]

or Edge

Or Roman (presumably sometime soon)

 

[Marvel]

What do you think Vince did right after that take?

"God dammit get me a snowcone right now!"

FTFY.

 

[Data West]

Grappler Managing is pretty sweet too.

 

[Marvel]

Big Ugly vs Big Hungry, book that shit for 'mania.

...and people should stop lapping it up regardless of who says it. To have Cena be the poster boy for the Be A Star campaign is a joke. The guy is a bully, plain and simple. He's an awful role model teaching kids to be dicks, and he's an awful role model for little girls in particular. His target audience is NOT kids, but ONLY 13-17 year old white males, or drunk college dudes who laugh at date rape. Fuck this guy and his contradictory image and messages.

Wrote an article about part of the "Cena as role model" problem: http://www.wrestleenigma.com/john-cena-and-little-jenny-taking-apart-a-role-model
