TNA Wrestling Discussion

[Agent Bond]

I enjoyed The Joker's Wild concept, but it should've ended with a regular battle royale instead.

I LOL'ed at Magnus basically having to wrestle a handicapped match against Bradley and Hernandez since Anderson refused to be tagged in.

Great, GREAT ladder match between Gail and the former Tiffany although I felt bad for them as the special guest ref ODB was getting the most attention from fans. I thought Taryn did a great selling job until I found out she actually did injure her leg.

Fail Sabin better fu**ing lose at Destination X. The last thing I need to see is him main eventing Bound For Glory, UGH!


The Las Vegas crowd was hot and into every bout even the Knock Outs. They even did a dueling "BOBBY RUDE! AUSTIN ARIES!" chant during the tag team match.

Bubba Ray continues to make me proud he is still the champion. Love Aces and Eights theme and he was hilarious trash talking his foes, especially Hulk Hogan, and the audience.

The audience popped for both MEM reveals. I'm indifferent to Magnus, but I loved Rampage being picked! And Hogan got the most reaction (Aries and Hardy got much love as well). Brought back memories of Montreal 2002 as we (there were about 3,000 fans there) cheered him for a good 5 minutes.

I'm very satisfied with my first TNA show. They put WWE down to shame.

I'll be at the D-X show this coming Thursday, I'm very excited for it.

I wouldn't mind a nice swerve where Sabin joins the Aces & Eights.

[tommyboy81]

So what happened to Angle/ Rampage? Did they wrestle yet???

[Agent Bond]

No. Rampage joined MEM. The match is on hold for the meantime.

[Agent Bond]

TNA fired Victoria, Gallows, Brother Love, and D-Low Brown. To add insult to injury, they were stupid enough to make Chris Sabin the new world champion. I'm about ready to give up on this company.

[Michael1989]

Hopefully Gallows can come back to WWE

Not sure about Sabin as world champ..I love the guy but not really world champion material

[Forever Knight]

I'm not sure how it'll work with Sabin either.

[DetroitSportsFan]

Sabin winning the belt was just to get people talking. He'll drop it soon.

I knew the Brother Love character but had not realized until I just did a Google search that he's Bill Pritchard

fixed.... and I thought it wasn't official he was done yet. He declined to renegotiate his contract. So it was coming...but not actually happened yet.

and Sabin winning is neat, but, it won't last. I still wish to see AJ's character take off. If Aces and Eights is over....then... I don't know what they'll do. Cleaning house is one thing, but in the middle of storylines is just chaotic strategy (like Luke Gallows)....

[pacman9270]

First I've heard all of this news. Sabin as Champ? Really? Great way to make Bully Ray look like a punk. Both WWE and TNA make really dumb decisions. They want us to talk? Give Bully Ray, Daniel Bryan, and Dolph Ziggler REAL wins.

The TNA Impact Wrestling live event in Cape Giradeau, Missouri on Saturday night turned into a complete disaster when the card had to be drastically altered due to six wrestlers being unable to compete as scheduled.

The Missouri Athletic Commission would not allow Chris Sabin, Garrett Bischoff, Jay Bradley, Wes Brisco, Gail Kim and Miss Tessmacher to work matches because they did not have current licenses to wrestle.

As a result, the event in Cape Giradeau on Saturday night opened with a TNA agent coming out to the ring to announce that the aforementioned six wrestlers would not be wrestling on the show as advertised. Instead, the following card took place across approximately 90 mins in front of 500 fans, with five total matches (three of which featured double-duty performances):

-Bully Ray vs. James Storm
-Devon vs. Gunner
-Samoa Joe vs. Bobby Roode
-Gunner & James Storm vs. Bully Ray & Devon
-Jeff Hardy vs. Kurt Angle

TNA attempted to save face with the fans in attendance by inviting them backstage after the show to meet the stars for free. That too fell apart in a sense, as Jeff Hardy, arguably the biggest star available, charged $20 for a photo and reportedly would not sign autographs.

I'll have to call bullsh** on the Jeff Hardy part. I've met him several times over the years and he's always been cool. To me at least. As a matter of fact, when I met him before the recent Vegas show, he signed 3 DVDs and a copy of his book, Exist 2 Inspire, all for free.

I met her twice and she's a nice gal, but given some of her business decisions, she had some of it coming. A few of these had me in tears.

Wish Sonjay would have won the X-Division title. Manic just doesn't interest me.

The Best Thing about TNA is Christy Hemme

At this point as another poster said, the crown of best to never win ends up helping his character and popularity. Tommy Dreamer in ECW for example was the same way for a long time. He said he never wanted to be ecw heavyweight champ.
