    Hemme's mistake was a rare case of a botch being better than what she was supposed to do. Aries reaction was great (and predictably as was the tag match). I'm hoping Bradley is the Gutcheck guy, he has the most to offer in that kind of spot though I wouldn't mind Shaw.

    People should lay off the Aries is a misogynist kick for climbing the ropes moving his crotch in Hemme's face. She is taller than him.

    How does that make him a misogynist? She was even laughing.

    I`d like to see Sabin in the BFG Series at least he`d actually have good matches unlike Morgan, Anderson or Devon.
    I think I would cry if Rvd returned and got in, so sick of that guy after only watching his dated offence on the ONO Special.

    Christy Hemme appeared to be legitimately upset at Austin Aries after she messed up the introductions for Aries and Bobby Roode last night. Aries came to the ring and proceeded to put his crotch in the face of Hemme. When asked about it via Twitter, Christy replied with the following:
    Fan: “@TheRealGaryS: Did @AustinAries Put His Nuts In @hemmepowered Face? #Impactlive”
    Christy Hemme: Yes. Unacceptable.

    Some people who I follow on Twitter were offended too. You know "male feminist" types.

    What a bunch of bull****. Heels should be able to do the most outrageous stuff they can think of and that was perfectly tame.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    I loved when Bully used to tell Christy to stop calling him late at night. :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    The D-lo Brown vs Kurt Angle I Quit match was 500x better than I thought it'd be. It was the overachievement of the year in any Sport.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,822 Mod ✭✭✭✭riffmongous


    I thought the tag match between bad influence and aries/roode was fantastic, it was really enjoyable all the way through.


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

    Mickie James heel turn? Think she really needs to at this stage


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    Was thinking Amazing Red for Suicide but the size didnt match up. TJ Perkins is my bet now. Very surprised if it's not.

    Sabin trying to get in the Tag Title match? WHY? X-Division title can be traded in for a World Title match. On what planet does it make sense to go for the tags instead in that case?

    It was mentioned this week by James Storm.

    Was Sky/James as wondrous as Ive been told it is?


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


    You'd think somebody doing something for a decade would be at least serviceable but Velvet is so awful. Her random, out of nowhere selling is just ridiculous. Crowd died on them as well. At least Velvet isn't champ anymore.


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


    Shark Boy should be on TV every week:

    Velvet was all over the place. It was like she had never wrestled before. Dont know what happened to her as she seems to be going backwards these days. Mickie did what she could but it wasnt a great match.

    I miss the Knockouts roster from a few years ago where you could pick any two and they would have at worst a decent match.


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


    In fact TNA should reunite Curry Man and Shark Boy (and bring Crystal back just so she can continue to dance along, Curry Man speaking 'Japanese' is the best):



    Mostly because Curry Man has the worlds most awesome entrance:



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,013 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    I was/still am a big Curry Man fan. He's brilliant, as is his offensive Japanese. It's comedy gold. Sometimes I think they killed him off just so they could have this amazing tribute :



    They could always bring him back - It'd be even more amazing if he did with a "Fire X" championship around his shoulder!

    I loved when Harris was at Sharkys bedside complaining how stupid it was. Stone Cold Shark Boy was a riot as was his poxy jacket.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    The Japanese was brilliant. I didnt cop it the first few times but once I did I went back and realised he did it everytime :D

    The Prince Justice Brotherhood was so much fun.

    He was at Destination X 2011 and said he couldn't be Eric Young's partner that night because he was preparing for his Fire title defense in Japan vs. Cody Deaner.

    That's so funny, the final 'AAARGH' when the door closes cracks me up every single time

    Gunner was actually a nice suprise this week! I would've thought he'd be a model for the Aces and 8's!!

    Yeah was good to see him back, looks like a legit badass too so always thought he'd be part of Aces and Eights aswell.

    Kid Kash would of been great too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭Omackeral


    What do you guys think the hierarchy of the Aces and 8's is? My take would probably be as below. Wouldn't know where to put Taz.

    Bully Ray
    Devon
    Anderson
    DOC
    Knux
    Brisco/Bischoff
    D'Lo

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    I'd have Doc and Knux at the same level.

    I had that originally myself but then thought DOC is usually in singles matches more so than the former Mike Knox. But yeah, on the same level is a fair shout. Hard to believe Anderson is a former TNA Champion these days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,478 ✭✭✭✭gnfnrhead


    I reckon thats simply because he is better than Knux.

    Anderson is an odd one. His character is much more suited to being a heel, but when he is a heel the fans like him too much. He gets the opposite reaction every time. Aces & Eights (thus far) is the only time he has gotten the reaction he is supposed to get.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,469 ✭✭✭✭GTR63


    I wonder will Shark Boy start an odd couple tag team with Robbie E now.
    I also wonder does Sharky know Mr.Fly? :pac::pac:

    It still amazes me that Smackdown regularly gets over 1 million more viewers than Impact

    Dixie:
    And the ink is just drying on a BIG free agent that will rock #ImpactLIVE on @SpikeTV. Tune in & join us on this summer adventure.

    Let the speculation begin. JoMo or something as mundane as RVD.

    Shark Boy = Ratings :D

    Odd that the Knockouts now got the lowest. Shows how good a job they have done in killing the division the past few years.

    Regards the free agent, isnt Impact recorded this week? Guessing that means a video package.
