And other stuff. You know speaking of them though it's insane how the tables have turned. Who would have thought WWE would have Bobby Rhoode, Eric Young, AL Styles, Samoa Joe and others. These folks were the backbone of TNA.

As someone who never watched TNA, I assume they were all top guys there? Have any mid-level guys from TNA made a name for themselves elsewhere?

I can't remember the last time I saw a double axe handle connect.

 

[SavoyPrime]

just buy njpwworld

I got my New Japan coverage handled lol

 

[BewareTheBatsie]

Omega doesn't want to spend the prime of his career having to sell for one of Roman's weak-ass powerbombs.

The Razors Edge Powerbomb is pretty sweet.

Jericho hits it all the time recently.

The Young Bucks are probably the most over tag team not signed to WWE and they were on the bottom of the card in TNA.

But I can't think of anyone else. I wouldn't call Eric Young a top TNA guy

 

[Professor Beef]

Jericho hits it all the time recently.

I don't normally watch Raw, so that'd explain it lol

 

[SavoyPrime]

But don't you want to see him have a stellar 2017?

True. Which isn't a guaranteed thing if he comes to WWE lol

Jay Lethal. He's Ring of Honor.

The Young Bucks are probably the most over tag team not signed to WWE and they were on the bottom of the card in TNA.

Yup I wouldn't say Eric Young really was a top guy till toward the end of his run. And yea the Young Bucks are another pair.

 

[somedevil]

Camera man screwed that shot up a bit.

Why they have to make Jeff Trump? D:

 

[Violence Jack]

I always thought Roode would end up like a cross between Flair and HHH as a heel.

One is the ace of NJPW

 

[styl3s]

All around the world is code for TNA.

I mean he did go all around the world in Epcot at Disney World.

 

[ratcliffja]

"What are you his press secretary?" Nice.

Doesn't really count but Okada was there for a year.

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

"Good Vibrations" is dumb as anything other than a taunt spot.

 

[excelsiorlef]

This is fucking great

 

[ramoisdead]

I'm gonna miss Corey Graves being on NXT. His heel commentary is on point tonight.

CM Punk

 

[ElRenoRaven]

CM Punk

Yea yea. Punk wasn't there long though. He had an attitude and didn't want to be Raven's lacky. So he left for WWE.

 

[Jashobeam]

oh shit

edit: damn thought roode was really hurt there lol

 

[Rhaknar]

That reverse slam always looks scary

 

[somedevil]

Yeah the new team doesn't have a heel on it unless they ditch Percy and replace with him the other ROH announcer that got Steve Corino.

 

[Ultratech]

lol Roode's dead

 

[ElRenoRaven]

Damn that inverted exploder. This match is good. see people were worrying.

 

[LiQuid!]

Bobby RUSE

 

[excelsiorlef]

Glorious spot

 

[Brinbe]

that counter

playing 80s heel to perfection

 

[pbayne]

lol that was a pretty smart spot.

 

[SavoyPrime]

Roode playing possum lol

 

[Rockandrollclown]

Bobby RUSE

HA!

 

[Rhaknar]

Dat possum!

 

[ratcliffja]

This is the best I've seen from Roode.

 

[Foggy]

I can't remember the last time I saw a double axe handle connect.

This match so far, in a nutshell

 

[ramoisdead]

Hahaha Roode playing possum. Pretty good match so far.

 

[wild wild rice]

Watch them go with a Nakamura loses because he never lands the kinshasa angle.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

This match is easily Roo's best since coming to NXT.

 

[SavoyPrime]

Nakamura is that dude, but Bobby is definitely ready for a run with the NXT title. This is a good match here.

 

[excelsiorlef]

This is better than any of the Joe vs Nak matches imo

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Screw off ref.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Roode is such an old school feeling heel.

This is great.

 

[deli2000]

This ref is too good.

 

[SavoyPrime]

Bobby with the old school Flair shenanigans! GLORIOUS! LOL

 

[Cheat Code]

This is better than any of the Joe vs Nak matches imo

Easily.

Nak and Joe had no chemistry.

 

[Rockandrollclown]

This is better than any of the Joe vs Nak matches imo

Yup. Those two did not work well together imo.

 

[Guzim]

"COME ON!!!"

 

[Rhaknar]

Im shocked how well these two are meshing

 

[Ultratech]

Damn, Nakamura just going in
