He said it all begins tonight.

    Angle introduced Taz who got a huge pop and an ECW chant. Taz cut a great promo about how important wrestling is and said he was part of the most important revolution in wrestling history. He said the locker room tonight has the same look as ECW did back in the day. He promised we were gonna see some different stuff tonight. He then did his old catchphrases.

    Jeff Hardy came out for a promo. He was limping. He said The people and Kurt Angle wanted him back and Willow listened, he said it wasn't the last of Willow and he will do everything he can to entertain the people. He said he was here to talk about the future and brought out Matt Hardy. Matt cut a promo saying he had to go away to get himself healthy physically, mentally and emotionally and did that but feels that he let Jeff and the fans down.He said he said his apologies and now it's time to let actions speak and it's time to become the TNA tag team champions. They challenged The a Wolves to a match at Destination X. The Wolves came down to the ring and accepted.

    Kurt Angle brought out Austin Aries to see if he would relinquish the X-Division title for a title shot against Bobby Lashley. Before Aries could decide, out came Lashley and MVP.

    Those shows were going well until Zeke and Snitsky. Two bad midcard wrestlers that nobody ever cared about. I know historically these kind of guys never last in TNA but really, why would you bring them in in the first place? The first NYC show looks rather good. Second show seems to have a little too little wrestling. And I assume they turned Sanada to set up him vs. Muta at BFG in Tokyo.


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    End at Aries and it would have been two very good shows, on paper anyway.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    The six man tag without any Snitsky or Zeke would've been fine aswell. Really like, what do they see in those two? Snitsky is fairly old aswell.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    These are ECW on Sci Fi results not TNA surely?

    Yep reading through these and I was about to give TNA some credit cos the NYC shows read like a big improvement and tbh they still are but they def end on an unnecessary sour note

    Is that 3 years in a row that Aries has cashed in his X Division belt for a World Title shot?

    Why bring in 2 exWWE guys who never made it. Surely 2 hungry young indie stars would have been better. Or bring in no one at all.

    this is tna and dixie carter we are talking about here. the same dixie carter that spent millions in late 2009/early 2010 hiring hulk hogan, eric bischoff, ric flair, mr kennedy, rvd, val venis, orlando jordan and the nasty boys when talent like bryan danielson, tyler black, brodie lee, jon moxley, el generico, pac and kings of wrestling were available for a fraction of the cost.

    They might just be New York/New Jersey locals and are only cannon fodder for this set of tapings to be fed to those on the core roster.

    Sabin did it last year. Aries tried to, but he lost the title before he could hand it over.

    That is literally the only good thing that can come from them. Four more shows to be done so hopefully they are quickly written off again. Would make it a pretty good idea as it puts over the full time guys.

    If they are sticking around, it's a stupid decision. Chris Masters is available and with some planning they could have kept Knux off TV for another while and used him here. Attacking the guys who brought him in but then left him.

    Spoilers from last night's NYC taping:
    This is part two of the second episode they began filming last night.

    Bobby Roode vs. MVP Falls Count Anywhere. MVP wouldn't come out so Roode went to the back. They brawled into the building. The crowd loved the brawl. Way hotter crowd tonight. Kenny King attacked Roode but Eric Young hit the scene and ran him off. Roode worked over MVP with a chair and locked in the Cloverleaf for a submission. Really fun brawl!

    TNA Knockouts champ Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell. They were having a really good match when The Beautiful People attacked them. No contest.

    Gunner & Mr. Anderson vs. Magnus & Bram. Bram pinned Anderson. After the match, Bram went to attack Gunner with a piece of metal from under the ring. Samuel Shaw ran in but was laid out with it. Bram beat down Gunner. Abyss' music hit and he came to the ring.. They brawled and Abyss cleaned house.

    Destination X is next.

    It opened with Kurt Angle doing the same speech as last night, minus mentioning the names no longer with the company. Could be a reshoot from last night since the building is way more packaged tonight.

    Out comes Dixie Carter with her crew including Snitsky and Big Zeke. Dixie cut a promo and the crowd was so loud you legitimately couldn't hear her. I think the promo was that these men were the true stars. EC3 said they were his Army of Extreme. They are calling Snitsky by that name but renamed Zeke. EC3 cut a hell of a promo. He said this is war and issued a challenge for a final battle. He said he will put them down forever.

    TNA Tag Team champions The Wolves defeated The Hardys. Great match and a super hot crowd for everything. Just an awesome match. Best match of the taping a so far and by far the best The Wolves have looked here to date. Tons of near falls and highspots.

    Low Ki defeated Zema Ion and Manik. Great stuff.

    James Storm introduced Sanada and said the student has now surpassed the teacher. He said he is Sanada's new teacher. Brian Cage vs. Sanada vs. Crazy Steve. Cage did lots of awesome power spots. Sanada wins with Tiger Suplex and a bridge on Steve.

    Tommy Dreamer and Team 3D come out. They say they will go to war right now so no one has to wait. EC3's crew came out and said they will do it on Carter time, next week. Bully Ray said no one wants to go to war next week. Ray threatened to start a riot and the crowd wanted that and chanted for it. He said if it's next week, it's going to be an Eight man Extreme Weapons Hardcore War. Ray then swore to God he is putting Dixie through a table.

    Samoa Joe vs. Homicide vs. Tigre Uno. Joe cut a great promo saying he told Kurt Angle to put him in the X-Division. He said he is still pro wrestling and he was going to win the X-Division title. Big reactions for Joe and Homicide. Joe pins Homicide. He and Homicide shake hands after. Crowd popped for the reunion of old ROH foes. Good stuff.

    The Three-Ways are qualifying matches with the winners facing off for the X-Division title down the line. I am assuming that will be taped tomorrow.

    The crowd is awesome tonight.

    TNA champ Bobby Lashley vs. Austin Aries. Aries really took it to Lashley and they had a good match, Aries hit the brain buster for two and went up for the 450 splash. Lashley rolled out. Aries went for a dive and Lashley moved. Aries knocked himself out hitting the rail in brutal fashion. Lashley tossed him in and speared him. There were a few times where Lashley looked tentative but Aries worked his ass off and there was some really good stuff here.

    Best two hours of Impact in forever.

    Xplosion - Knox and The Freak defeated The Bromans.

    Impact episode, post Destination X.

    Hardcore War. Team EC3 vs. Team Extreme. Each man will enter with a weapon. They are doing Wargames like entrances. Dixie Carter is sitting in a balcony with King Mo. Out first is EC3 with a baseball bat. Tommy Dreamer is first for his team with a Singapore Cane. Rhino was next out for Team Carter with a trash can. Devon was next out with a trash can. Snitsky with a hockey stick was out next. Bully Ray with a chain was next. Last for Team Carter was the former Ezekiel Jackson, who had a chair. Last out was Al Snow complete wth the rave lighting and heads in the crowd. Snow whipped out an Asai Moonsault to the outside. Spud tries to interfere and gets killed by the ECW crew. Team 3D pin Rhino with 3D. Really Fun brawl with the villains getting the upper hand only for the babyfaces to get fire when the odds evened up.

    After the match, Ray asked where Dixie was and the crowd all pointed to her. He promised tonight she was going through a table. She freaked out and said that wasn't going to happen but promised King Mo would knock Bubba out tonight. Crowd was all over Dixie. The crowd is making the show.

    The next segment saw Dixie Carter come out with the Carter Army. She was pissed and fired Snitsky and Zeke for failing and said they were losers and has-beens. So, they are already done here. She began firing and screaming at the fans and demanded they get out of her venue. Dreamer and Team 3D came out with the table. Ray said he promised something for a long time, that Dixie - the most hated woman in wrestling - is going through the table. Dreamer said he warned her and said she was going through because she represents all that is wrong with wrestling. Mo nailed Dreamer. Bully attacked Mo and took him out. Dixie tried to escape and the entire babyface roster came out and forced her back in the ring. Bully nailed her with a sitdown power bomb through the table as the roster cheered, surrounding the ring. Dreamer took mic and said his work here is done. Bully got the crowd to sing " Ding Dong the Witch is Dead." Everyone celebrated over Dixie, who was stretchered out. The crowd chanted TNA to close the show. A hell of a way to close the show and an awesome spectacle. Just great.

    TNA had a hell of a turnaround tonight. Best taping in a long time that I am aware of.

    I knew Snitsky and Zeke probably wouldn't last but that's a pretty quick departure. That looks like a very good set of shows.


  • Registered Users Posts: 20,753 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe

    Agreed, as was said in the report, its a massive turn around. Just shows what ya can do with the talent they have. 2 good shows and more to do.

    Interested to see how Shaw / Kennedy / Gunner develops.

    Some good sounding matches on this card and the last and hopefully they will come good.

    Great to hear Zeke and Gene where just temps and rightly so.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Mike Johnson from PWInsider who attended said they were brilliant even if people don't believe him. :p


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    If Snitsky doesn't say "It wasn't my fault" when Dixie blames him for losing I'll be very disappointed.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,089 ✭✭✭✭rovert


    Footage of Dixie going through the table:

    Probably best go unspoiled (visually at least) to be honest

    I don't think they would've built so much of their TV around Dixie going through a table if they couldn't do it. There were Spike executives at last nights show.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,431 ✭✭✭the flananator


    What year is this? A crowd of men surround a middle-aged woman, and then power bomb her through a table. Incredibly bad taste.

    Other than that, the shows sound interesting. These are the sort of venues TNA should have been running years ago; they create a genuinely different and compelling atmosphere to what WWE have in their huge arena shows. Imagine they ran these venues in say 2010 when Hogan came in and they went head to head with Raw? Imagine the atmosphere, the buzz? It would have been so productive for the TNA brand from a marketing perspective. As channel surfer, on one station you've got ten thousand kids, parents and bored men sleeping through Raw in a basketball stadium, then over on Spike you've got Hogan, Styles, Sting, Hardy etc. mixing it up in front of a rabid audience.

    This seems like too little too late now. The shows sound fun but I have so little faith in TNA as a brand now I would not allow myself to get invested in the product again.

    Last set of iMPACT! spoilers from NYC:
    Xplosion:

    Madison Rayne pinned Brittany with a forward roll.

    Impact:

    Monster's Ball: Bram pinned Abyss after hitting him with Janice. Very goos, wild brawl that saw Bram chokeslammed onto tacks and Abyss speared through barbed wire board. Magnus interfered as well.

    MVP's crew came out. He said no one is left for Bobby Lashley to beat, noting Lasley has beaten Eric Young, Austin Aries and Jeff Hardy. Bobby Roode came out and challenged him saying that Lashley shouldn't be stupid because he was never supposed to be in position to win the title - it was all a plot to get MVP the belt, but he got hurt. He said MVP sent him home with a suspension because he knew Roode couldn't be beaten and he was challenging for a title shot. Great promos from Roode and MVP. Lashley and crew attacked Roode. Eric Young and Austin Aries hit ring for save. This sets up a six man tag.

    Bromans and DJ Zema vs. Samuel Shaw & Mr. Anderson & Gunner. Bromans win when Robbie rolls up Anderson and hooks the tights. Anderson, who wasn't happy about teaming with Shaw, blames him and is pissed at Shaw and walks out. Gunner is in the middle and isn't happy.

    The Beautiful People come out. Angelina Love says she doesn't care if she broke up Gail vs. Taryn III and she wants her title back right now. It was the best mic work she's been given the opportunity to do in some time. She claimed she was the best looking Knockout and the best wrestler and was tired of people taking what was rightfully hers. Taryn came out and said Love shouldn't be complaining about people taking from her. She said that she never took a thing from Love, but Love stole her chance to be champion. Love told her there's a pecking order so she can go home and tell her baby that mommy is second or third best. Gail came out and said Kurt Angle told her she gets to choose who she gets to defend the title against next. Kim teases it will be Love, but then says Taryn as well. She then says that Velvet is standing there letting Angelina say all sorts of things and asks her what she thinks about it. Love stops Sky from speaking. KIm says it won't matter what who thinks what, because it will be a four way with all of them and says we will now see who the best Knockout is. They brawl and the faces run off the heels

    Low Ki vs. Homicide vs. Samoa Joe to crown a new X-Division champion. James Storm said Sanada ended Great Muta's career when he introduced him. Joe makes Sanada tap, so he wins the belt. Some fun reprisal of the Classic Joe vs. Ki feud.

    Bully Ray came out to a hero's welcome in NYC. He said he kept his promise and put Dixie through a table. He brought out Devon saying he was the one person he couldn't have done it without. Devon said that since Dixie is gone, it's time to get to business. They thanked everyone for inducting them into the TNA Hall of Fame. The Hardy Boys came out. Matt said it was the first time in 12 years they were in a ring together and congratulated them on the HOF induction. They went over their history talking about big matches they had in different cities but never explicitly saying WWE. Bully Ray said it sounds like the fans want to see them have one more match. They set it up for later tonight.

    Eric Young & Bobby Roode & Austin Aries vs. TNA champ Bobby Lashley & MVP & Kenny King. Team Lashley wins a good six man tag. Aries was going for the 459 splash off the top but was nailed by a MVP crutch. Lashley speared Aries for their pin. Good stuff.

    Rhino, EC3 and Spud came out. Spud asked for a moment of silence for Dixie Carter. The crowd went nuts and Spud wanted to fight the crowd. EC3 cut a good promo on crowd for celebrating and demanded Bully Ray be terminated from TNA. Out came Kurt Angle. He says they are in NYC not Nashville and says he is wasting their time so either wrestle or get out of the ring. EC3 says they will not wrestle this week and demanded Bully be fired. Angle warned them wrestle or get out. They refused. Angle had the "NYPD" come out and arrest them. Spud tried to claim he has diplomatic immunity. The cops handcuffed Rhino and Spud. EC3 claimed he knew Donald Trump and Bernie Madoff and attempted to pay off the cops. They tossed down the cash and handcuffed him too. They were walked out of the building through the fans.

    Mr. Anderson vs. Gunner. The crowd died for this one as they were catcalling and doing the back and forth Cena chants and singing Adam Rose's theme song. Samuel Shaw came out and attacked Anderson. The crowd chanted, "Thank you Dexter". The only thing on the taping that the crowd wasn't really receptive to live.

    Xplosion: TNA Tag Team champs The Wolves defeated The Bromans.

    Abyss cut a promo and said that Bram has something that belongs to him and demanded he come out. Bram and Magnus came out with Janice. Bram said he's beaten Abyss twice with her and it drives him wild to drive her into his chest. Abyss asked if he really wanted to get extreme. He challenged Bram to a Match with tables, tacks, fire and barbed wire with Janice hanging above the ring. He said he will get her and shred Bram with it. Bram accepts. Magnus cut a promo on Abyss who nailed him and Magnus and tried to get Janice but was nailed from behind and they stole Janice again. Abyss said that at Stairway to Janice, he would show them what a bitch Janice can be.

    Low Ki won a six way elimination Scramble by defeating Homicide. The other competitors were Tigre Uno who dazzled with some Lucha spots. Others involved were Crazzy Steve, DJ Zema and Manik. Good match especially Homicide and Low Ki at the end, which NYC ate up.

    Team 3D defeated The Hardy Boys in an excellent match. The crowd was chanting "This is awesome" before they even locked up. This was a great balls to wall match with tons of near falls and reprisals from their feud. 3D wore outfits reminiscent of their WWE run. Great stuff. They all showed respect and hugged at the end. Bully said that they were four of the dying breed of tag teams. He said there is another team that has shown they are good enough to stand in this ring with them, The Wolves and called them out. The champs came out and all four paid tribute to them in the ring with Matt Hardy getting very emotional.

    With all six in he ring, Bully asked NYC if they had a good time tonight and said that the past is the past and that this company was here to bust its ass for the people. He said the last three nights were some of the finest wrestling today and if you disagree, get the F out of the building. He put over the locker room and said if there were any wrestlers still in the back, he wanted them to come out. The baby face locker rook emptied as they came out with Al Snow and Pat Kenney. The crowd greeted the locker room with a raucous TNA chant. Devon then announced it was Al Snow's birthday and everyone sang for him. That was actually a rib on Snow. The locker room saluted NYC and told them they would be back in August. Everyone posed for photos and signed photos with ringside fans as the locker room bid them all farewell. A strong ending to the triple shot.

    For the first time in a while there seems to be a lot to look forward to for the next two months on iMPACT!.

    We were very positive about TNA on the podcast yesterday (without mentoning what exactly happened on the spoilered shows) but at that time I hadnt seen this most recent spoiler and I'm happy to say its still good, the NYC shows atleast on paper seem to have been quite a good success and booked much better than anything they have done in a long time. Long may it continue cos if it does they will get people to tune in who otherwise wouldnt. I mean I dont care what big name TNA get if its still the old TNA booking wise but reading these shows at least for now they are doing things right in that aspect and already have a top roster anyway so if booked right they should be able to deliver in ring


  • Registered Users Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    This should be up until about August, right? Meaning probably only one more set of tapings before BFG. Doesn't look like the BFGS is coming back this year.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,943 ✭✭✭Machismo Fan


    This will take us up to August 14th. That leaves 8 shows until BFG, 5 or 6 of which will be taped in NYC in August. That means there'll be one other TV taping after the next NY bunch leading into BFG.

    Odd that they are leaving so few for a seperate taping.

    Wonder would they be tempted to record even two weeks worth of TV in Japan after BFG? Since they went to the expense of getting there and whatnot, it would be a nice visual for TV if nothing else.

    If the NY shows are as good as they sound, I hope they do the sensible thing and keep to actual wrestling cities in future. Stick with the three nights and they would only need 10 tapings a year plus PPV's.

    It makes some sense to leave the last couple of shows until nearer BFG so they're less likely to be caught out the way they were with MVP and Slammiversary.
