This will all turn out to be some huge publicity stunt brainstormed by Dixie and Vince Russo. I haven't ever seen TNA mentioned as much as it is being now.

 

[avengers23]

EC3 was one of those things people tried to convince me about newer Impact that was good. I watched him, and it was like the most generic fucking heel gimmick of all time. Like he was the wrestling equivalent of a guy who took a community college class on philosophy and suddenly decided he was an enlightened individual.

The Internet promotion of EC3 reminds me of how DVDVR would try to convince people that Chris Masters, Vladimir Kozlov, and MVP (MVP, of all people) were the secret best wrestlers in the WWE that only "true" wrestling aficionados could appreciate.

Him and Spud together were fun.

It's damn true. I was more impressed with how much better Dixie got compared to her debut era.

Who is this talented young woman?

Taeler Hendrix?

 

[A Pretty Panda]

All this TNA stuff just makes me want to watch Raw and then get bored of that

but I do want to watch nxt when all the new people start

 

[strobogo]

I don't like King's Road. There's supposed to be this emphasis on 'storytelling', but I feel like Misawa, Kawada, and Kobashi just threw it all away for head drops.


He's fucking awful in TNA too.

Definitely in the late 90s and first few years of NOAH. Shit got out of control. That's the shit that led to Misawa dying in the ring.

And that HBK was literally the worst guy on television at the same time.

It became more of a signature match format/structure in the 90s, rather than the avenue for in-ring storytelling Baba and Jumbo employed. Also, the crowd came to expect the crazy spots and it became less special as the decade wore on. I still enjoy that era, but prefer the 80s style more these days.

MVP was and is actually good though. Don't lump him with Kozlov. Masters was better after he got jobbed out.

 

[Jimmy King]

That is beautiful, brother Titus

call me when your heart is empty

Thanks to indie music, we're going to be OK.

 

[Rhaknar]

that match was fucking awesome, so stiff

 

[UrbanDandy]

That was the finish to that match, Sting was pinned right after.
Yup.

Wait, that wasn't a botch?

80s AJPW mixed with the classic NWA style is excellent.

 

[Hasney]

Nah, it's paraded out as lol Sting when it really should be lol TNA and is used in its correct context today.

If you want to mock Sting, the old scorpion death lock on Magnus gif is pretty tremendous.

That it actually isn't a botch but really something they planned is even more hilarious.

 

[Spider from Mars]

I know TNA was special,
I know TNA was good,
I know TNA wasn't flawless but I know I was loved.
I know TNA had passion,
I know TNA was kind,
So why should an ending alter my state of mind?
Although I find it hard to relive TNA,
I know that I would always forgive TNA.
She says no regrets, and I say don't forget.

Wow. TNA deserves the kind of lampooning they're getting now.

Excellent deep cut, Spider.

How about a song from TNA's perspective?

 

[Rhaknar]

Japanese wrestlers growl a lot, Bray Wyatt would fit right in with them

And I mean that in a good way, its awesome.

 

[Xater]

As if TNA fans aren't bad enough now we also have to live with their shitty taste in emo music.

Old school emo is in the middle of a revival period, unlike wrestling. You can learn more if you subscribe to the zine run by Spider & I.

It's cool, I know you never meant to offend with your ignorance.

 

[Spider from Mars]

So let's just pretend
Everything and anything
Between Spider and TNA
Was never meant

EDIT: We posted the same song!
Brother Titus, this is love.

 

[slightconfuse]

Review an impact should be good this week. Can't wait for Nate Milton's take

[Data West]

Look at this photograph
Every time I do it makes me laugh

How did our eyes get so red?

And what the hell is on Joey's head?

And this is where I grew up

I think the present owner fixed it up

I never knew we'd ever went without
The second floor is hard for sneaking out

If TNA is unable to remain solvent, where will the TNA Nation migrate? Is it possible that they'll start a movement and invade Full Sail?

I thought we were cool bro? How you going to do me dirty like this? Especially in a moment of crisis.

I do not know why, but for some reason Mick Foley's non-wrestler daughter has a t-shirt:

Still pumped for Impact this Thursday.

The Hardys vs. The Wolves (every review has had glowing praise)

Aries vs. Lashley (if it's 75 percent as good as Hardy/Lashley, I'll be damn happy)

 

[KissVibes]

http://www.ewrestlingnews.com/news/...aults-a-pair-of-pre-teen-children-during-show

Ian Rotten has admitted to portions of this claim today on Facebook and offered an apology of sorts to the mother. In his apology, Rotten calls the mother by the incorrect name and proceeds to explain that while he did push the little girl, he felt justified in that she started the altercation.

He went on to justify his actions by stating he was unsure if the 11 year old girl had a weapon

He also stated the profanity laced verbal altercation with the 9 year old boy was justified stating " that on my part was purely interaction with him and I will not apologize for doing my job".

What a cool guy.

Cashing in on crazy wrestling fans that fetishize women in or loosely connected to this industry? Never would've guessed it'd happen.

 

[Alucard]

Global Force Wrestling is our only hope now, friends. Or will ROH go to another channel and step their game up? Time will tell!
