JBL always mentions the old stuff, "HES A FORMER US TITLE WINNER, COLE" or "THE GIANT WON THE WHC IN HIS FIRST MATCH AGAINST HULK HOGAN MICHAEL SHOW HIM SOME RESPECT" etc lol - I wonder if they get annoyed or no one is really listening enough to care.

JBL makes up, or gets wrong, a lot of stuff.

They can't really say anything to JBL, because JBL is one of the few people who doesn't really need the job, and could just tell him to fuck off at anytime.

Same thing with Lawler. He doesn't get yelled at through his headset like other commentators, because Vince knows he'll quit if you piss him off.

Yeah, this does get annoying. It's nice to see someone acknowledge that pro wrestling exists outside WWE, but it did make me cringe when JBL called Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara former AAA Heavyweight Champions.

The guy was going for a somersault Bruce Lee-like stomping, he thought he could go beyond the barrier but he failed hard. He deserved the ownage for even thinking about it.
 
So excited for Rumble now, going to stock up on snacks today :p then print off the rumble card and get every prediction wrong!

It better be a good ppv >_<

Impact Spoilers for 1/25 and 2/1:

TNA taped the steel cage match from Manchester between Mr. Anderson and Kurt Angle first. Angle won a great match back and forth before a masked Aces and Eights member attacked angle and revealed himself to be Garett Biscoff. Wes Briscoe came for the save and turned himself revealing another Aces and Eights jacket.

Impact then taped their opening. Bad Influence dressed as Scotsmen in kilts and bragged about beating Jeff Hardy up but lost due to Hardys' face paint being toxic. They were ran off by Magnus (huge pop) who then challenged Devon as part of Open Fight Night. D.O.C and the former Mike Knox came down. Magnus threw all of them over the top rope and posed as Aces and Eights retreated.

Earl Hebner came out next to huge heat. UK fans are huge Bret fans.

Joseph Park came out to a huge pop for Open Fight Night and calls out .... but before he has chance to say who, Robbie E. interrupts. He rips the UK crowd before teasing a stare down with Robbie T, who seems offended. The match between Park and Robbie E was fun. The crowd was very involved. Parks won with a big splash! Fun match.

Austin Aries out next, accompanied by Bobby Roode. There was huge pop for Aries and they had to rip the crowd for heat. He called out Chavo Guerrero with the stip that he beats him, then he and Roode get a tag title shot. Massive Austin Aries chants. It should be interesting to see how this is edited for the TV show. Aries wins to a huge pop.

Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan out next. Bully is over huge as a face. Big, big pop. Bully asks for his suspension to be lifted. He called Hulk Hogan family and said they have a common enemy. Bully called out Sting out to appeal to Hogan. Sting comes out to a massive pop. Huge respect for Sting. Sting calls Hogan out. Biggest pop of the night as the Hulkster comes down. Bully opens the ropes for Hogan. Sting asks Hogan to side with him and Bully against aces. Hogan says he did the right thing for Brooke walking her down the aisle and will do the right thing again and reinstates Bully. Hogan announces next week it's Aces and Eights vs. Sting and Bully Ray in a tables match.

Velvet Sky calls out Tara and Jessie. James Storm comes down to make it a tag match. Storm gets a great reaction and it's a shame TNA can't get out of Orlando more with live crowds Like tonight. There is a pedigree by Sky for the win.

*RVD vs. Zema Ion vs. Kenny King. RVD was the crowd favorite and match started with big RVD chants. This was a great match with all three hitting their spots. There were TNA chants from the crowd. RVD hits a frog splash on Kenny but pinned the already down Ion for the win.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*The show starts with British Boot Camp winner Rockstar Spud thanking the UK before Robbie E., comes down and runs him down. Spud beats him down before dancing with Robbie T.

*Austin Aries & Bobby Roode defeated Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez to win the TNA Tag team titles.

*James Storm over Jessie Godderz with Last Call. Jesse out first to rip the crowd and Storm out to defend them. Beer celebration at the end.

*Aces and eights out next. There were massive "You can't wrestle" chants for Garett. He said last year in the UK, the same chants made him decide to join Aces. Wes Briscoe rips Kurt Angle and said says his dad trained Kurt. They call Kurt out and said if he shows tonight, they will end him.

Daniels comes out and rips on the UK crowd before Samoa Joe comes out a huge pop. Great great match with Joe winning clean at the end with his finisher after catching Daniels mid air. Lot of love for Joe.

Devon and DOC vs. Bully and Sting tables main event. Bully wore Sting face paint. Big table chants. Bully hulks up at the end and puts Devon through the table for the win. Hogan comes down and raises Bully's hand to end the show.

The arena was taped off at the top but must have had 5,000 in tonight. Really good double taping and Tna really needs To take TNA on the road more often for TV.

Aces and eights ads two
new wrestlers who can't wrestle and no impact and keep on losing match after match.
 
Why can't we have more of Punk and Rock at that level? Just let Cena bury all the joke characters in handicap matches every week and leave the real work to the big kids.

Yeah Rock promo was solid I thought

Didn't think it was anything special. It was a serious promo which is better than Cookie Puss and Twinkie Tits promos but honestly, Rock is tame.

I want Punk vs Austin.

Now those promos will be incredible.

Skipped the Barrett/Sheamus match on SD (did I miss anything?) The rest of it was fun enough going into the Rumble. Oh and Natalya is awesome.
