Entrance is awesome, but RIP perfect entrance song.

 

[Serpentine]

Langston > Lashley

mostly because NEW INSTAGRAM VIDEO WOOOOO

 

[Showaddy]

Wish they'd stop wasting their time trying to get Graves heat and just give us a match we actually want to watch...

 

[Laserfrog]

Probably because Roddy Piper is a boob. Should have been Jesse and Gorilla or Jesse and Randy Savage.

I would have loved it if it had been Jesse and Gorilla, Gorilla was the best. Not like stupid Piper.

I've been reading Jesse's autobiography, its a bit light on wrestling stories but it was all worth it to find out the existence of Tag Team, apparently they were ready to make more episodes but it was cancelled last minute.

 

[Sblargh]

PARTY POOPER! I love this audience!

 

[The_Joker1721]

Aw man. Willow out of nowhere.

 

[Serpentine]

Willow lol

he looks like a dork dudes. legit thought "...why is Ultramantis Black attacking E... oh yeah"

 

[somedevil]

So Willow job is turn heels into babyfaces? If not his character is horrible.

I haven't seen TNA in a long while, but weren't they building EC3 to a babyface turn? A double turn with Willow and EC3 could work

 

[slightconfuse]

Legacy...LEGGGGGGCY

So good

 

[Alucard]

I'm down with Willow so far. Intrigued just enough to see where they're going with his random violence.

 

[somedevil]

I haven't seen TNA in a long while, but weren't they building EC3 to a babyface turn? A double turn with Willow and EC3 could work

Nope EC3 is still going to be a heel because he still has to have his match with Angle. Willow character is he is just an asshole who attacks heels to confuse the fans by how violent he does it.

 

[Sblargh]

I like everyone in this ring right now. Even Natalya.
But Bailey is the one who has my heart.

 

[Showaddy]

Holy hell that's some high pitched cheers for Sheamus.

Bayley is great!

Oh yeah. Yeah I could see that working. That was a good first thirty minutes.

Edit: lol you were just saying

 

[Alucard]

I'd say it's working so far. I'll be curious to read about Hardy's idea behind this vharacter once it's all said and done.

When Hardy "left," he basically said he didn't feel it anymore, or that he would return when "light shines down on this kingdom." Willow could just be a source of unrepentant justice who does what others won't, but what needs to be done.

...And I love EC3 any time he talks. "Honestly. Sincerely. You're an ass."

 

[Serpentine]

I LOVE YOU POP

TNA just can't stop biting from WWE!

edit - wtf james storm looks weird

 

[MechaGodzilla]

First time I've watched NXT and I'm a little lost. Why is sheamus wrestling on this. I thought it was just indies or do they do crossovers also.

... Okay wtf did I just watch.

 

[slightconfuse]

I really love Aiden English

 

[Alucard]

Yer pullin' on my heart strings, Gunner.

 

[The_Joker1721]

Oh James Storm you better not touch Gunners papi you son of a bitch.

WWE superstars wrestle a match with some of the NXT guys sometimes

 

[Alucard]

Holy shit Storm going in DEEP.

 

[MechaGodzilla]

Ah, thanks for the update.

 

[Serpentine]

James Storm with that heat!

 

[slightconfuse]

Shamus in total dickface mode

 

[Alucard]

Holy shit, Storm! He just busted a beer bottle over Gunner's dad's head! What a fucking dick!

 

[slightconfuse]

Get en Aiden

 

[The_Joker1721]

Damn that was messed up.

 

[FallingEdge]

 

[Sblargh]

Why the commercial break mid match on your own network? Why?

 

[Edgeward]

For a guy whose gimmick is staying hyped, he got gassed in a >5 minute match that couldnt do his 3 moves of doom well

 

[slightconfuse]

Hope we get a English /Rose fued

 

[The_Joker1721]

LMAO this guy "we trying to get ratchet!"

 

[Alucard]

YES! I GET TO SEE THE YOUNG BUCKS LIVE!

45 minutes in and I've barely noticed the time running by on Impact.

Bro Mans being mega racist heels right now.

 

[Master Thespian]

Why the commercial break mid match on your own network? Why?

So they can practice their cut-to-commercial-rest-hold timing for when they get the call up to Raw/Smackdown.

 

[Serpentine]

"I wrestled in Japan, so I speak Strong Style!"

 

[Alucard]

Time to see if Tapa has learned anything. If you can't work with Gail Kim, I don't know if you can work with anyone.

 

[Sblargh]

Without the attire, Aiden has a real classic wrestling look. Like a strongman from the 30s or something.

 

[somedevil]

I like Aiden but he needs more moves.

 

[mightynine]

Why the commercial break mid match on your own network? Why?

NXT does air overseas, so they need to build in commerical breaks either way.

 

[The_Joker1721]

Boy do I enjoy Gail Kim.

 

[Alucard]

Wait, did I miss the stipulation there? Is Tapa done in TNA because of this loss to Gail?

Gail: "If she loses, I am done with her...which means she's done with Impact wrestling."

WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

 

[somedevil]

So it seems like the rumors of Lei d tapa getting fired are true.

 

[The_Joker1721]

Wait, did I miss the stipulation there? Is Tapa done in TNA because of this loss to Gail?

Yup.

 

[Serpentine]

Tapa is still green. awkward seller.

 

[slightconfuse]

NXT next week should be good.

Like his they build up Feds for : weeks as then payoff

 

[Edgeward]

I hope this entrance music change for Adam Rose is just a result of this being his first appearance and the one last week was a later taping because the timing is all sorts of wrong for his entrance.

 

[Alucard]

So it seems like the rumors of Lei d tapa getting fired are true.

Wouldn't be surprised. She's not fluid in the ring at all, she's botched in almost every match, she doesn't sell well, and she just looks incredibly green. Still, that match with Gail was pretty painless.

MVP trying to plead with Willow. LOL.
