    Don't think the live crowd were listening to anyone with the amount of random shouting they were doing.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,173 ✭✭✭NITRO95


    Best summation I've seen of it so far is that her knock off name shouldn't be Blake Monroe, it should be Dimeless Toni. Just absolutely DoA and only getting worse



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    You need to make peace with the fact she's ditched AEW. Your obsession with wanting her to fail is a bit odd. She's gone to WWE where they can actually promote women's wrestling and have more matches as opposed to just putting the spotlight on Mone



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,173 ✭✭✭NITRO95


    I don't want her to fail. Total opposite actually. She's a talented wrestler being done a disservice with her current direction. Not sure what the Mone bashing is about

    May is just floundering in HBKs NXT. She's a capable in ring talent but she's well off the pace in the character department and not over.

    May was a pushed act in AEW for best part of a year with a story from the go. I'm NXT they haven't a breeze what to do with her.

    Also i think she does her best work as a heel too

    Only 3 matches made for Great American Bash at the moment and only 1 show to go.

    the WWE / TKO era is a victim of over saturation at the minute i think.. too many PLE`s and named shows and not enough time to develop decent storylines for people to invest in or for the talent to actually try tell a decent story.

    Jaida Parker, Lash Legend, Izzi Dame, Tatum Paxley, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice in the battle royal at Evolution with Zaria and Sol Ruca in the tag title match



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,566 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Don't know why they decided to do Winner take all at Slammiversary. Would make sense for Masha to win since Trick won the TNA title

    Hopefully… Jacey is a poor choice of champion, granted she has legit heel heat but nothing else. She will never be a success on the main roster and will be future endeavoured within 2 years.

    I was excited to see Blake Monroe after reading and hearing about her in AEW but she is just boring just seems to think putting her finger between her teeth will get her over.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Monica Monroe as Booker T called her 😄 she did well in AEW because of Toni

    I think HBK should put the main women's title on Sol Ruca, think she is ready also Tatum or Lash also ready imho too



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,566 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Jasper was probably meant to put Ricky through the ramp but it collapsed too early.

    Was funny seeing everyone coming to Je'Von for advice like he was a veteran.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Imagine The Undertaker coming out of retirement to beat Trick for TNA title



  • Moderators, Business & Finance Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Paid Member Posts: 26,727 Mod ✭✭✭✭Loughc


    Never going to happen in a million years. Taker can’t move anymore he’s glad to be done.

    The lifeboat has set sail



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 528 ✭✭✭Apple Dumpling


    They really need to pull the plug on Blake Monroe and repackage this character it’s not good and it’s not getting over just crickets from the fans.

    Another lose for TNA it feels like the Triple H days when he had to beat every former WCW guy who can into the WWE.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Santino back wrestling in WWE, anyone think that for 2025



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,566 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Not in their Youtube page so must've been Reddit or somewhere that I saw it, but a vicious post match attack of Santino on Page where Page really sold the Cobra.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 92,394 ✭✭✭✭JP Liz V1


    Jevon took a scary bump, hope he is OK

    I'm enjoying Chelsea with Ethan

    Going by this week's intro, Joe Hendry is NXT. Maybe not officially but having him named in the opening isn't exactly a small thing.

    And I expect big shenanigans next week since I doubt they'll put both titles on 1 guy. Unless 1 of them is moving up, but then why not give it to someone else.

    They did Bobby dirty by not letting us hear the reaction that he obviously stopped for.

    Good to Shayna there as well.

    The night was like the NXT version of Legends night where the ones who aren't usually seen on tv just work in the back and are brough in front of the camera for a special appearance.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 528 ✭✭✭Apple Dumpling


    Let’s hope this Invasion goes better than the original one.

    When will AAA join in to make it a mini WWE/WCW/ECW Invasion.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,566 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Well you won't have to wait long. They're doing it in the weekly show in a couple weeks. Having survivor series type matches with teams announced this week as well as a winner takes all tag title match between Hardys and Dark State.

    Apart from the tag match, I don't think they have any stipulation for the other matches. Like what the winner gets. Just bragging rights?

    Going to be weird since about half the TNA teams will probably be made up of former WWE talent.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,022 ✭✭✭Pentecost


    Yeah it's not much of an invasion when they're already on each other's shows regularly. Might have been an interesting way to kick off their new relationship but no real hook to it now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,173 ✭✭✭NITRO95


    The "invasion" is just WWE helping to highlight TNA to big wigs at the CW. Thats why they had Cardona, who doesn't have a TNA contract, and all the ex-WWE talent doing the invading. TKO want to destroy all of wrestling outside of WWE and utilising TNA to push the narrative that they, TNA, are in fact number 2 and not AEW is so blatant that it should be ridiculed as much as possible. AEW existing is bad for business in TKOs eyes as talent then have options and options are bad for TKO. TNA has willingly allowed themselves to be used to the point of parody and they and their fans refuse to see/or admit whats really going on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,566 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    It would also be better if NXT guys went to TNA as well outside of a surprise opponent for someone. Like TNA attacked the NXT roster last Tuesday yet no one from NXT showed up at Victory Road get revenge. Instead Kelani got a chance to win the title even though there's no reason she should've been there outside of being invited since it was in Canada and not close to the PC.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 528 ✭✭✭Apple Dumpling


    Looks like they are changing the name of Invasion to Showdown after pressure from Israel.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,566 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Results were pretty much as expected. Messy in parts as well.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,689 ✭✭✭Cotts72


    That Paxley title reign was pointless, could have had the culling turn on her at any point. Hopefully we aren't looking at another long term Jane reign
