January WrassleGAF |OT| Rocky Road to Wrestle Kingdom Starts Now

You know... I've slowly came to the conclusion that Kurt Angle is amazing. At least 1999-2001 Kurt Angle that I've had the pleasure of watching again. Guy is great. Can be goofy, can be deadly in-ring competitor at the same time. It's a shame his head ballooned and he floated off to Planet TNA.

a gif of the Rock running toward something. I cant tell if that means we are running out of content or just have too much to work with.

I believe it's supposed to be signifying that he's running towards that group of attractive women, with the intention of politely asking each of them out on a date, without the others knowing. It will all make for a great sitcom-esque episode where he jumps between five different dinner dates.
 
Vince McMahon and Steve Austin's dynamic as a heel pairing is insanely good.

Tajiri and Steven Regal's antics are golden too. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL Kaientai.
 
I'm okay with it. Better than someone else's big debut being wasted on the Rumble.

He's gonna eliminate Cesaro calling it. I mean he is American i think. They were probably deciding between him and Richie Steamboat judging from the interaction between the Dragon and Barret a couple of weeks ago.

He is a face so he will get the Maven treatment. He will eliminate some heel that has name value and then will get his assed kicked for doing it.
What he eliminated... DA UNDERTAKAH~?!

From watching NXT, I could actually see him taking out
Big Show
.
 
Pretty sure Michael Hayes has a hard on for him. During one of the Legends of Wrestling roundtables Hayes description of him was he was a a really good looking guy who is gonna be a huge star

Spoilers for the two remaining impact tapings:

* Hulk Hogan kicks off Impact with an in-ring segment where he puts over London fans and announces a number one contenders tournament for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

* Matches in the tournament include: RVD vs. James Storm, Christopher Daniels vs. Magnus, Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe and Austin Aries Vs Bobby Roode. Hogan will then announce the number one contender afterwards.

* Hulk puts sting over as the greatest wrestler of all time and he receives just as big a pop as Hulk on his entrance!

* Sting puts over the fans as the best in the world and Sting announces he will choose 3 wrestlers from the tournament to be on his team for Lockdown vs The Aces.

* Magnus defeated Christopher Daniels after a elbow drop off the top rope.

* Bobby Roode & Austin Aries argue before their match. Match ends in a double count-out when they are distracted by Chavo and Hernandez.

* Kurt Angle wrestled Samoa Joe to a no contest. Wes Briscoe and Garett Bischoff interfered in the match. Angle appeared to have his hamstring taped up.

* Tara, Gail Kim and Jessie defeated The Blossom Twins and Marty Scurll.

* Gail Kim asks for a Knockouts title match. Brooke gives her the match for next week’s Impact. The match will be a four way elimination with Tessmacher, Gail Kim, Velvet Sky and Tara.

* James Storm pinned RVD after a Last Call following RVD missing a Van Terminator.

* Hulk Hogan comes out to announce the number one contender but Aces & 8′s circle the ring. Bully Ray comes out with chain in hand followed by Sting with a baseball bat. Aces & 8s leave. Show ends.

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

TNA Impact (Airing February 21st, 2013)

* Impact kicks off with Rockstar Spud defeating Robbie E.

* Joseph Parks, James Storm, Hernandez and Chavo Guerrero defeated Christopher Daniels, Kaz, Roode and Aries.

* X Division Title match: RVD defeated Kenny King with a five star frog splash.

* Bully Ray, who was not apart of the tournament, is announced as winner. So Bully Ray will face Jeff Hardy for the World Heavyweight Championship. Bully puts over other guys in the tournament and said all he wanted was to earn Hulk Hogan’s respect. Bully suggests the main event of Impact be a six man tag with Sting, Hogan and Bully Ray facing Aces & 8′s.

* Samoa Joe defeated Garret Bischoff by DQ after Wes Briscoe interfered and Angle made the save.

* Kurt Angle announces he will face Wes Briscoe at Lockdown.

* Velvet Sky beat Tara, Brooke Tessmacher and Gail Kim to win the TNA Knockouts Championship.

* Main event ended up bein a handicap match as Hulk Hogan never showed up during his entrance (they will probably add in a backstage attack on tv show) Aces members Doc, Devon and Anderson beat Bully Ray and Sting when Doc pinned Sting as Bully Ray was distracted by Aces members with Brooke.

* After the match Aces beat down on Sting and the faces on the roster come out to make the save. End of show.

I love how Aces and Eights right now is made up of Devon, Doc, Knox, Bane, Anderson,
Wes Briscoe and Garrett.
What a heel group!

Also, a first where there is a number 1 contender tournament and the winner is a guy who wasn't even in the tournament.

Also, this screams that
Bully Ray
wins and title and goes heel at lockdown.
 
So they have a tournament to name a number one contender and the person who gets it isn't in it? What?

Who's the one thinking that this shit is a good idea?
