So Ricardo Rodriguez likes Justin Bieber! Big Deal! I'm afraid this is one time I will have to stick up for Alberto Del Rio's personal ring announcer. If he is a fan of The Beiber then that is his right so stop laughing at him in this regards. He is a good singer and even made a song i particularly like. Just because you or someone you know may like an artist that is not popular within your inner circle does not mean they suck or you don't know anything. So, everyone, including Santino Marella, don't laugh at Ricardo for liking Justin Beiber. Laugh at him for his announcing!

On the technicos (faces) side;

. Eddie Kingston, the reigning CHIKARA Grand Champion, King presents a different style than most members of the roster, very hard hitting and intense, tells a great story in the ring and cuts some of the best promos on the indies. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94dom-_OQS4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sT6H4-H955Y

. 'Lightning' Mike Quackenbush, the founder and head trainer of CHIKARA, a technical wrestling mastermind, lots of unique submissions and holds and a style that draws influence from all over the world. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSzgR5HisrQ

. The Colony, Fire Ant, Soldier Ant & Green Ant, big fan favourites for their innovative high-flying style. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bqrj7qcgEDo

. UltraMantis Black, one of the CHIKARA veterans and, despite a dark past, is a huge fan favourite, great technical wrestler with one of the best finishers on the roster, the Praying Mantis Bomb. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgH-T_ObBNM

. Sara Del Rey, trained in part by Daniel Bryan she's an excellent technical wrestler, and very heavily influenced by the hard-hitting Japanese women's wrestling of the 90's, making her one of the most powerful wrestlers on the roster. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-tKvO3ifbs

On the rudos (heels) side;

. F.I.S.T. (friends in similar tights, lol), Chuck Taylor, Icarus & Johnny Gargano, one of the best teams today who work really well together. Icarus is quite possibly the most despised heel in all of wrestling, and while the fans may laugh at Chuck Taylor's antics, he's a very underrated wrestler. Johnny Gargano, meanwhile, is one of the current 'hot properties' of the indies, very accomplished junior heavyweight style wrestler and the current Dragon Gate USA champion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHM37W1WBxE

. GEKIDO - a group of former CHIKARA students who left under less than amicable circumstances, but have now returned under new identities to get revenge on CHIKARA. The group consists of The Swarm (assailANT, combANT & deviANT) who are going after The Colony, The Shard who is going after Jigsaw, and 17, master of 17 forgotten submissions, who is attempting to end the career of Mike Quackenbush. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz5Dtz2z7C4

. Tim Donst, an underrated wrestler with great mat skills who's crazy and unpredictable nature has made him one of the better heels today. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5vDJgxjC68

. Ophidian, one of the quickest members of the roster, Ophidian's snake like luchalibre submission style is always entertaining to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBZQkC6iwlM

. Archibald Peck, while considered a rudo by CHIKARA, many fans have come to love Archibald Peck and his personae Marchie Archie, the Leader of the Band, and Mixed Martial Archie, as he tries and fails to impress his marching band love, Veronica. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDw0ivvq9Nk
Wow. Thankyou mate. :)

MY only disappointment of the handling of AJ is that she hasn't had any presence in the Divas division. They should have taken it to the next level by having her emulate her current 3 obsessions moves. Flying Elbow off top rope, yes lock, choke slam(maybe not given her size) but you get the idea, etc.

She could start punching like Kane.

This would be fun to see, she can perform the Kane Klaw instead of the chokeslam which would also build up the psycho meter.

Why the hell is Kane no longer smothering people dammit?!

I don't know. I thought it was effective. I want to see Kane win a match by submission, for once.

I can make a better music video than these shmucks.
I don't doubt it, man.


Naw, it was the music that tipped me off. I already knew you had questionable taste so I just connected the dots.
I'll have you know that my musical tastes are exquisite!

Just check the metal thread, darn it.

Twelve IMPACT WRESTLING Superstars battle in grueling series of matches with the ultimate prize on the line - a World Championship Match in the main event at October’s “Bound For Glory” Pay-Per-View spectacular, our biggest event of the year! The wrestler with the most points at the end of the Bound For Glory Series wins and advances to the Bound For Glory main event!

The 12 Competitors

Find out who will be in the 2012 Bound For Glory Series during the Gauntlet match at 8pm on Spike TV!

How to Get Points

Points are determined by wins and losses – how you win is equally as important!
Submission Victory – 10 points
Pinfall Victory – 7 points
Countout Victory – 5 points
Disqualification Victory – 3 points
Draw (Time Limit/Double Countout/Double Disqualification) – Two points
Disqualification Lose – you LOSE 10 points

The Type of Matches

Each wrestler will battle each other ONCE in the series! These matches will take place over IMPACT WRESTLING on Spike TV and on TNA’s live event tours across the country, with the point structure outlined above.

Standings and How to Win!

The standings will be updated on ImpactWrestling.com. The standings will be “locked” on the September 6 edition of IMPACT WRESTLING on SpikeTV. The top point leaders advance to No Surrender PPV (9/9) for a one-night playoff to see who gets the Bound For Glory World Title Match!

This is a whole lot better than last year's format. 100% improvement. I look forward to this.
 

I remember people saying that if Austin had the same brawl match against Johnny Ace at Over The Limit, that everyone would eat it up. Well this video demonstrates the difference between the two. Austin would've made jumping guys in their hotel room really funny and memorable. With Cena it's like some random Barney cosplayer threw a tantrum. The guy has become boring incarnate.

And the Bound For Glory Series last year provided hilarity. I'm hoping for another Samoa Joe mishandling for the lulz.

If I understand this year's BFG series correctly, once the field is set, only single matches count and only matches against the other BFG competitors count and they will only wrestle each other once.....that should be a total of 132 matches over live events and Impact tapings. Each wrestler should wrestle 11 times during the tournament for a possible max of 110 points.

It still has the potential to be fucked to hell and back, but it has the potential to be good too.

PS: Keep Garrett Bishoff out of this.

Thanks, that looks awesome. I will be watching this. That production quality puts Ring of Honor to shame.

Austin had his own style of making fans cheer as well as Cena. IMO theres no comparison as far as entertaining the fans. Austin got away with flipping people off, using more of the vulgar language. As for Cena he had to make it a Comedy hour because he had to entertain the kids as well.. My favorite Cena promos were he had a feud with Angle, Edge and Eddie

Seriously, there's a few small problems they'll hopefully iron out as they go along, but the video packages are so many miles ahead of ROH's it's not even funny. Pretty enjoyable first show I thought, Harry Smith vs Rhino in the cage match was good fun.

wow this is GREAT!

It features a lot of superstars I know and love. Thanks Bootaaay.

Billy Corgan really has a great thing going here. Puts current ROH to shame.
 
We have four releases from FCW:

-- Eli Cottonwood
-- Jiro
-- Benicio Salazar
-- Sonny Elliot

Harsh of them to unmask Benicio (El Hijo del Medico Asesino) only to release him. And I guess Sakamoto would have been included with Jiro (Taishi Takizawa) in these firings if it weren't for the fact that they needed a Japanese guy for Tensai's dumb gimmick. Oh well, Takizawa will be back in Kaientai Dojo soon, no doubt.

i don't know if he or someone else got the talent but it's really tops.

Doesn't hurt I love the Smashing Pumpkins.

RAVENS BACK!

Yet don't seem willing to spend too much of it on ROH - when they bought in, Sinclair said they wanted to create a compelling TV product that they could sell to other networks, but instead the product seems more about drumming up local interest for house shows/TV tapings in their current TV markets, and hyping up iPPVs in the traditional ROH hotbeds like Toronto & NYC. ROH TV hits a lot of the right bases, but one it often seems to miss is that of an entertaining TV product you want to follow week in, week out.
