Team America - America f**k Yeah

Abyss keeps saying to Hogan and others that "They're coming" and various other musings of a seemingly delusional man. "There's nothing you can do about it!" stuff of that ilk. Talking up an invasion of some sort. And to put a spoiler bar, you type "spoiler" in between these [ ] and type it again with a \ after what you've typed

I didn't word that correctly, I meant recreate the magic, obviously I wouldn't want to see Tommy Dreamer v Sandman in a Singapore Cane Match done the exact same. I've seen it before and I can find it and watch it again. But if they had a match like Abyss vs Dreamer in a Barbed Wire Ropes match and it was amazing then I'd be happy.

I've been watching a lot of ECW recently, if they can recreate any of the great matches I've seen in TNA then they'd be doing well.

Yeah started recently, think one of them was in a match with Daffney, no idea how to spell it, and the other came in and interferred. They both started fighting backstage after Wilde's match, on this week's impact. I don't know how it came about though, which is the problem, if they're gonna bring feuds from Xplosion onto Impact then they need to explain them. Do they even show Xplosion over in the UK?

I think it's the same idea as heat. The Sarita/Taylor Wilde feud started on that, well that's what I read anyway. Another show would do them the world of good. More so if Heyman was there, as he'd be able to get the hardcore and the cruiserweight parts, that made ECW so good to watch, going again. Forgot to say in my TNA review, the Brother Count for this week was six.

Don't watch Xplosion but on Impact, Tazz just annoys me. He's by no means a great commentator. I much preferred the Tenay/West setup but I don't see Don West going to back to it. Aparently their merchandise sales have really picked up since he start his "Insane Deals". There are a few decent commentators out there, JR and Joey Styles come to mind instantly. Would love a four man team of Styles, JR, Tenay and West. Don't think TNA would waste money, not that it would be bad just unnecessery, on four men commentating unless they have more than one role outwith it. I don't like Bischoff, just as Stings about to tell Dixie Carter what his beef with Hogan and Bischoff is, he interrupts. I just want that storyline to end, any one with Sting is pretty gash at the moment tbh. It's said that Paul Heyman doesn't want to come into TNA with the way that it is at the moment. If he did come in then he would take control of the creative team and Vince Russo, finally, would be out of that aspect of TNA. Spike TV are negociating with him, like they did with Foley and Flair before their arrivals. TNA don't know exactly how to proceed with the ECW angle, various angles such as making a separate show have been discussed, aswell as Heyman coming in to lead them. According to a focus group, ECW was the favourite period for a signicant number of wrestling fans.

Just watched TNA. My thoughts: AJ Styles vs Samoa Joe was very good. Not seen Joe hit the Coquina Clutch in a while, not seen him in a good match for a while. Style/Kazarian should be good next week. When Styles reversed the Muscle Buster, I would've liked him to go into the Pelé. Desmond Wolfe vs Brian Kendricks was alright. Any match involving Wolfe, at the moment, is shadowed by his thing with Chelsea. He should just start slapping her about, put that woman in her place . Hardly a surprising ending, Kendricks with the cobra clutch. The Pope really got some emotion going in his segment. Crowd seems to love him. His match with Angle has the potential to be good, two people with something to prove with them both coming back to TNA recently. Jay Lethal vs Matt Morgan, another unsurprising ending. Hopefully Morgan's match at Victory Road will be better than this one. Didn't really watch the Knockouts' match. Found it funny that Tazz said that the ECW guys didn't like him when he was there, because Raven and Dreamer were the best of friends . As I said earlier, Rhino was added to the stable. Hopefully they can make more additions from former ee see dub wrestlers. If I had my way, Tajiri would be in aswell. Would love if they reformed the BWO, never gonna happen while Bischoff, Sting, Hogan or Nash are there, but it would be hilarious. If it's ECW that Abyss is talking about then it would be appropriate because: "WE'RE TAKING OVER!!!" Main event was alright.

Rancid - Corozon de Oro (Heart of Gold)

The Smashing Pumpkins - Bullet with Butterfly Wings.

Ricky Steamboat's aneurism(sp) seems to be genuine but not caused by the beat-down he received on Raw.

The reason Sting is in the middle of quite a big storyline is because he makes so much in merchandising sales. His merch makes the most money, I read somewhere.

Seems I am playing the role of defending TNA on this thread. With that in mind, it's true there's a lot of "washed up rubbish" in TNA. Nash and Sting come to mind instantly but there's also a lot of good wrestlers like AJ Styles, Rob Van Dam and Jay Lethal. Aswell as good wrestlers like Desmond Wolfe. If they decide to do more hardcore match, with this ECW thing, then people like Jeff Hardy and Abyss will be mightily useful. Not to mention, good cruiserweight/x-division wrestlers like Generation Me, Motor City Machine Guns, Amazing Red and Homicide. Their tag-team division can be decent. Beer Money are decent enough. Dudleys are a wee bit past it, it pains me to say, but an ECW thing could benefit them and Ink Inc are hopeless. Apart from the Heavyweights and Cruiserweights, they don't really have anything. The Global Championship setup is kinda pish but that's more due to their payroll.

Being a punk fan, no I am not. Iron Maiden - Wildest Dreams

Suicidal Tendencies' Lights...Camera....Revolution album.

Where did you hear this? Sounds like bullshit, as bad as their egos are, I don't think Jeff Jarrett or Dixie Carter would ok this kind of storyline.

Reel Big Fish / Specials - Monkey Man

"Spike TV has given TNA more of a green light to go "more hardcore", whatever that means." I would love to see Paul Heyman onboard a company that has the finances and fanbase that could sustain itself.

Just to get away from titles with "Living", I'll leave it for a while Killswitch Engage - Daylight Dies

And WWE don't? Look at how they've handled the Nexus thing, it's gone stale because they don't know what to do with it?

Pennywise - Living For Today

Jimi Hendrix - Red House

I think they are still involved. Hogan was undergoing back surgery today. I believe they recorded promos before the taping.

Well TNA doesn't let their wrestlers do Indie anymore, do they? I find that surprising. There's no battle at the moment. But TNA will keep going, as long as they are smart with their money and don't go bankrupt like ECW and WCW then they will continue to be a thorn in their side until they do start to worry WWE. I think WWE are definitely aware if not slightly worried by TNA. The reason I say this, in the wee montage bit of WWF/E stars before their promotion, they have replace Hulk Hogan's "HULKAMANIAAA" has been replaced with "Everybody's got a price". I think that might be a sign that they are slightly worried. Or it could just be that Vince wanted to piss off Hulk Hogan.
