    Trying to pick winners without spoilers which is hard because they havent told us who is in the match. Preview only gives six names but says plus more.

    I think Chavo will be getting the fired case. I'm surprised he lasted this long considering he likely isnt cheap.

    I think Storm will get the tag titles shot but wont pick Gunner due to recent weeks.

    That's all I got. The other advertised names are Gunner, Joe, Anderson and Ion. If I had to pick, I'd say Joe for the X-Division and Anderson for the World.


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


    Full line up for anyone who wants to know:
    Austin Aries, Chavo Guerrero, Chris Sabin, Curry Man, Dewey Barnes, James Storm, Norv Fernum, Hernandez, Ethan Carter III, Gunner, Samoa Joe, and Zema Ion.


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


    I really hope
    Carter
    gets the fired case. That would be such a great storyline.

    As long as it isn't
    Fernum or Barnes
    I don't mind.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,420 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


    Maybe it'll go to
    Curryman again

    Or another possibility
    Sabin hands the case to Velvet and since she opens it, Sabin says she's the one getting fired.

    They are essentially getting two wrestlers for the price of one. Wouldnt make sense to get rid of that considering their money issues.

    Did a certain knockout return on impact last nite?

    So happy to see Madison back :D

    Wasnt expecting her back at all, so to have her back so soon is great.

    Curry Man was brilliant in Feast or Fired.

    She had a kid so I expect she did.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 767 ✭✭✭SimonQuinlank


    Ah,I thought she quit to do bodybuilding or something.

    She was building a baby inside of her body if that applies...


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


    It's amazing she had the kid a little over 3 months ago, and is already back in such amazing shape.


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


    Forgot this week was the World title match. That 10-10-10 segment really should have happened last week. Way too much happened this week for the one match. Should have been spread out over a few weeks at least. Was expecting Styles to return and face Magnus at the end of the show, that's how quickly they were moving.

    Chavo getting the fired case was the right call. His claim of having to work harder due to being a Guerrero was laughable though. His name is the only reason he was even employed in the first place. Was hoping Zema would get the Tag title case due to BroMans being champions, but Carter trying to find a partner should be good also. Gunner getting the World title shot was a nice touch considering how he got the case.

    It's amazing to think Madison had a baby less than four months ago. She must have lived in the gym since then to get back to such good shape.

    I hope there is never another 2 out of 3 falls match on weekly television again. The first two falls are always pointless. Would have liked Roode to win 2-0 but a win is a win in the end.

    Could have done with featuring Aries in some way since he did win the X-Division title only last week. Even a promo video would have done.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 15,342 Mod ✭✭✭✭Furious-Red


    That was a great Main Event with Hardy and Magnus , even though it was obvious Magnus was gonna win .

    They should have had Spud go to some indie show AJ was on and while he was wrestling he should have jumped the rail and grabbed the belt or something


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


    Havent watched this week's Impact yet, but Xplosion is worth a watch. A solid Joe vs Kazarian match followed by Abyss vs Styles from Lockdown 2005. Easily the career match for Abyss and a very strong match from Styles.


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


    Impact was good also. Not a tonne of wrestling but Madison vs Gail was very, very good. Aries vs Sabin was decent but they have had much better. The Beer Money reunion was great for what it was. Would have been better not to make it so obvious beforehand tho.

    With better planning they could have used Genesis as a real Sunday PPV instead of another FPV. Styles vs Magnus, Sting vs EC3, Roode vs Angle, Storm vs Gunner, Bully vs Anderson, Gail vs Madison, Aries vs Sabin and it would have made a very strong PPV.

    Sons of Anarchy inspired crowd gone so now on to a Dexter inspired wrestler.

    That last 20 minutes was pretty great. Would have been better if I hadnt known who won before hand though.

    Next week is a live show with a very strong looking line up.


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


    SHOW FOR THE AGES

    Someone on Twitter said of the main event:
    Closest thing I can compare it to is Jimmy King v DDP from the end of Ready to Rumble.

    You just NEED to watch this show and after a few beers preferably.

    Genesis is on Thursday from the birthplace of TNA:
    Steel Cage Match - If Angle Loses He Can't Enter the TNA Hall of Fame
    'Olympic Gold Medalist' Kurt Angle vs. 'The 'It' Factor of Professional Wrestling and Leader of the Selfish Generation' Bobby Roode

    'The Icon' Sting vs. Ethan Carter III

    Bully Ray vs. Mr. Anderson

    TNA Knockouts Championship

    Madison Rayne vs. champion Gail Kim (w/ Lei'd Tapa)

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


    Unfortunatly they did the usual of whoring out the cage match on last weeks show so now it means less. I really don't get that logic. They used to always do it for Lockdown. Pretty much no cage matches all year, Lockdown is one week away? Let's have seven of them on Impact! Stipulation also makes it rather obvious who is winning. Only way I don't see an Angle win is if he is on his way out of the company.


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


    His contract isn't up until August and even then I doubt WWE will touch him after last year.


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


    He has talked about retirement after this contract for the last couple of years now. But it's Kurt Angle, hardly the most reliable source. I'll be very surprised if Angle loses, but if he does, it could be the start of a retirement storyline for him.

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


    Oh he's definitely not losing. It's the blowoff to a feud where the pay off is Angle finally beating Roode. Fair play to them for not feeling the need to give Angle a win too early for the sake of even steven booking.


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


    Some classic Genesis matches: http://www.impactwrestling.com/news/item/5385-Genesis-Freeviews-Watch-Archived-Classic-Matches-from-TNA-s-Genesis-2006-2013

    Including one of TNA's better matches last year that was forgotten a little because it happened so early in the year:


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


    Just watched last weeks Impact, thought it was a horrible show. Like those lame late 90's McMahon-Helmsley era episodes of Raw.
    Poor Styles & Magnus deserve better.


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


    Credit to Mike Johnson of PWInsider for this one
    Last Thursday's Impact had 9 Dixie appearances, at least 5 of them in the first 55 minutes. Three of those within the first 18 minutes.

    A stat that brings back memories of Dublin Championship Wrestling :P

    I actually enjoyed it. It's just a shame that Styles is gone now so he wont be getting payback.

    He gave a good performance but the match was almost a hindrance to those involved. The whole babyfaces being taken out was a bit bluh & Big Bully Evil in the church was odd to say the least. It felt like a show with Russo's pen on it :(

    Only problem I had with the babyface thing was none of them had offered to help Styles, bar Joe and Sting. Joseph Park, Eric Young, Gunner, James Storm, Kurt Angle.... none of them even mentioned Styles let alone looked like being interested in helping him. Only Angle would have gotten involved and that would only be to fight Roode rather than help Styles.

    I think they screwed up the timing. They should have had the babyfaces taken out on Impact, but the title match at Genesis. They squeezed too much in. Surely they could have convinced Styles to do one match after his contract was up?

    EC3 vs. Tommy Dreamer in a Tables Match
    Bobby Roode vs. Samoa Joe for man advantage in Lethal Lockdown
    Lei'd Tapa vs. Velvet Sky in a Street Fight
    Eric Young and Joseph Park vs. Bad Influence in Full Metal Mayhem
    Bully Ray vs. Mr. Anderson Last Man Standing
    Austin Aries vs. Chris Sabin in a Cage match
    Team Angle vs. Team Roode in Lethal Lockdown

    And maybe best of all JB instead of Taz on commentary.

    Dixie's hint about new talent debuting tomorrow:

    Bad Influence vs. The American Wolves should be a doozie when it happens.


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


    At least it was subtle :pac:

    Curious as to how they can afford the two of them (assuming it is them) but couldn't afford to offer Styles anywhere close to his previous wage.

    With WWE not interested anymore and bridges burned in ROH , maybe they were in a better position to haggle???

    WWE wouldn't sign them to $750 a week contracts.Very nice bargaining tool for TNA to use!

    TNA's been declining since the aces and eights started falling apart.

    Dixie Carter needs to book New Jack for a few shows and have him work angles with Taz and D-Von.

    Dixie should have worn flat shoes for Davey:



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


    Is next week's show live too, or taped? Some big matches so you'd expect it to be live, but they tend to record at least two at a time so I'm not sure.

    No clue why they didnt do Genesis as a real PPV. Easily enough to fill a PPV and that's without a tag title match.

    The investor thing is interesting. I'm wondering now if the Jarrett/Toby Keith rumours were just to throw people off. 99% sure Davey said "they", implying more than one.

    Really? The opening was boring until Sting got involved, and the main event was weak, but I thought everything in between was good. At worst, it was still 10 times more enjoyable than most Monday nights.
