So for those who don't follow fighting games in here, there's a tournament this weekend. Why am I bringing this up?

Complete with wrestling entrances, and (hopefully) promos.

Jebailey is really going all out huh. I'll def. have to tune in.

 

[Perspicacity]

How am I only finding out about this NOW, Boots?

L-O-Fn-L

My favourite part is that he keeps shilling for PWG throughout the interview, that's a real world champion fellas.
Anyone know how he's doing health-wise? Would love to see him debut soon.

Oh and for those who haven't seen it, Brian Kendrick on Price is Right:

Hmm I may give this a gander.

Is Beef talking about vidya games? That's so nerdy, get that outta here beefaroni.

 

[XenoRaven]

If I were playing in that tourney, I would totally have a side bet with whoever I was playing against that whoever won got to do the top rope move of their choosing. I would probably opt for sloppy CM Punk elbow drop.

You're just mad because you claim to be the King of Games, yet your kingdom doesn't extend to the STREETS.

If someone quotes Punk's infamous Raw promo, I think I just might lose my shit.

That looks more like a boxing ring than a wrestling ring, doubt it would support your weight on the top rope.

Pipebomb!

Not gona lie this is exactly what I wanted from a fighting game tourney.
They need use this to set up feuds and interest for another bar fights or any set match that needs some buildup. Would def tune in again and would mark out if there were any promos or epic entrances lol.

Bobby Roode must be like the only guy TNA have ever actually made into a 'Star'. AJ Styles never really got the chance, Samoa Joe likewise.

They gave aj the belt so many times its not funny
he just sucks really hard at the mic and has 0 personality , i cant remember anything really big about him till this love angle with serge.

I've been playing in the streets before you were born Beefncheese.

I just been playing on a different street, the non button mashing one.

Psh. #Riseabovesillyfightinggames.

If this happened more often I would be watching more fighting game tournament streams.

 

[bean breath]

Impact tonight looks like a great show.

*TNA champion Bobby Roode vs. Mr. Anderson.

*The fallout from Slammiversary.

*TNA X-Division champion Austin Aries will defend in an Ultimate X match vs. Zema Ion and Chris Sabin.

*12 Man Gauntlet to kick off the Bound for Glory series.


Can't wait.

Nope. Not falling for this shit again.

 

[Edgeward]

Very few of the players attending would even be able to beat Batista in promos. It would have more pauses than an Orton promo as well.

Had no idea highspots did ring constuction

 

[Kaladin]

Nope. Not falling for this shit again.

TNA is awesome right now, jump on the bandwagon. Tonight's Impact has potential to be as good as the PPV you just spent $35 on.

Their wrestling:entertainment ratio is completely off. That show is sleep-inducing.

If the promos are as good as the stuff Jago was cutting at the first bar fights, this would be the most hype tourney ever

I like the way you think.

 

[dream]

Whoa whoa whoa, he's too big and old to be going out there every night in the ring. I'd have him come in as a manager for his son or possibly as a trainer for the big men in FCW to teach them how to work an effective big man style. Wouldn't mind giving him a chance on commentary either. Plus, he's straightened out his life and gotten off the alcohol and drugs. Being back in the ring full time would probably start bringing that lifestyle back.

This is why I was so troubled by that report, Bobo. As you know, I am a big fan of the way this horrible business forces broken down drug addicted conmen to continue "working" high school gymnasiums in their 50s because of the better than average chance of their cocaine-damaged hearts giving out, causing them to die in the ring. But by most accounts, Vader has cleaned his life up and actually saved a lot of his money and does not need to die in the ring the way many of his broken down drug addicted peers deserve to.

 

[Ithil]

I'd only watch TNA's PPVs, to be honest, and only ones with good overall cards. Any time I've watched their shows has been sleep inducing (apart from the one I saw back in maybe 2005 which were pretty good).

I already deal with one sleep inducing wrestling show a week, I don't need another company.

Unfortunately it seems like TNA treats its PPVs in a WCW manner, where major matches are given away on TV for free or repeated after the PPV.

 

[somedevil]

Found this funny because TNA is going soon. AJ in the crowd listed as Jay lethal 'family' when he was having a match over SoCal Val in 2008 Hard Justice:

I like how both are appropriate in their own way.

TNA is the ant next to the vast eww-ness of the WWE. Sorry I'm drunk, I don't normally explain jokes.

 

[RBH]

- In the U.K., when it comes to total viewers of Raw vs. Impact for the first airing of each show, the Raw numbers were
168,000 on 5/7
197,000 on 5/14
119,000 on 5/21
150,000 on 5/28

Keep in mind this is live at 2 or 3 a.m. on a station (Sky) with limited penetration. Impact airs in prime time on a mostly game show station, but it’s a station that is a free station that almost everyone gets, but the show also airs five days after it’s U.S. airing. It’s numbers were
123,000 on 5/1
67,000 on 5/8
118,000 on 5/15
124,000 on 5/22
194,000 on 5/29

Smackdown, which airs in a better time slot on Friday nights in prime time instead of middle of the night, did
83,000 viewers on 5/4
98,000 on 5/11
95,000 on 5/18
87,000 on 5/25
130,000 on 6/1

How long until TNA IMPACT WRESTLING POWERED BY DIRECT AUTO INSURANCE, GAF?

It's okay, that's exactly the angle this was going for.

Meanwhile WCW ruins it by being a very poor palindrome, no wonder they went bust.

 

[RBH]

20 minutes.

 

[Cagey]

Nope. Not falling for this shit again.

Recording TNA tonight.

If this episode is shit, I still blame spin.

EDIT: I almost never put on SpikeTV. I put it on now before TNA starts. There's a really big fat fuck stuck in a small bathtub, and it looks like Perry Saturn is trying to pry him out. Hm.

 

[Host Samurai]

Holy shit at Scott Steiners twitter feed. I have spent the last 20mins reading it. You gotta read it in Steiners voice. Did he really get fired?

 

[Bossniak]

TNA TNA TNA.

My body is ready.

 

[bigosc2k]

Good job on Hemme for saying this is set for 1 fall on ultimate x match, fuck it Aries is wrestlign

 

[Ultratech]

Holy shit at Scott Steiners twitter feed. I have spent the last 20mins reading it. You gotta read it in Steiners voice. Did he really get fired?

lol goddamn

It's even funnier trying to imagine it in his voice.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Holy shit at Scott Steiners twitter feed. I have spent the last 20mins reading it. You gotta read it in Steiners voice. Did he really get fired?

His contract expired and he turned down a new deal.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Getting 2005 TNA flashbacks from this match + crowd.

EDIT: I think Sabin screwed up his knee for reals.

 

[Ultratech]

What the hell did Aries do to Ion?

 

[somedevil]

Did Sabin mess up his knee during the match?

 

[bigosc2k]

Sweet Aries retained the title

 

[BillRiccio]

What happened to Sabin? He just disappeared.

 

[eldoon]

Would love title vs title
Aries vs Roode or Aries vs storm down the line with a huge build up

 

[somedevil]

What happened to Sabin? He just disappeared.

Fucked up his knee it looked like. So looks like the x-division is down to Austin Aries and ?
