TNA Wrestling Megathread

Agent Coulson · 16-12-2020 8:40am

Dude why

The Bullet Club back together so if they are using the name there must be a working relationship with NJPW.

RollieFingers · 16-12-2020 9:20am

Liked that, definitely didn't do anything to dispel the BC rumours! And some of the lads will be happy to hear he got off the bus!

BC vs MCMG/Swann will be class, I'll watch Hard to Kill now with that on the card.

riffmongous · 16-12-2020 10:08am

Yeah good to see him getting off the bus and interacting a bit

We just need to see the Impact guys fighting back a bit now and it's going to be great

ciaran2054 · 16-12-2020 12:33pm

That was awesome. I know people want this to move forward fast but I’m very happy with the slow pace.

Love this Kenny so much.

The White Wolf · 16-12-2020 12:40pm

Was expecting another cop out recording on a bus. **** me that was amazing. Hopefully they manage it right with Swann looking strong even though I know that's not the point here.

It is a bit ludicrous however having the EVP sh1t on the mess of the heavyweight title picture currently on Impact.

Same, I think booking the tag match first is a great move, no need to go straight into the one on one match with Swann, keeps your options open.

Refreshing to see a big programme in US wrestling being given time to breathe and not be rushed.

J. Marston · 16-12-2020 1:26pm

Bullet Club are almost as played out as DX these days. Bastardised versions over multiple years across multiple companies with countless members. Let it die.

What's worse is they're attaching a new intriguing world champion in Omega with the drizzling shìts that are Gallows and Anderson.

CastorTroy · 16-12-2020 2:31pm

Well it's working anyway. Can't remember the last time this thread was so active.

Not sure about how much was prerecorded now, unless they filmed the confrontation between Swann and Anderson on the ramp recently.

Cherry_Cola · 16-12-2020 4:14pm

Odds on the Bucks siding with Kenny and screwing over Gallows and Anderson to take a spot in the match? They've talked about MCMG an awful lot.

Agent Coulson · 06-01-2021 5:27am

Kenny with the They seem Easy to Kill after the best down

CastorTroy · 06-01-2021 6:54pm

Always nice to help the less fortunate. tony Khan not exactly being subtle in his digs.

Kenny using the Bullet Club name again.

riffmongous · 07-01-2021 9:46pm

Last episode was fairly fun except for the main event, I have no interest in Callihan/Edwards.

I lol'd at Ethan Page at the end of his split personality promo "see you there, you ugly bastard" :pac:

Agent Coulson · 08-01-2021 4:27pm

I'm starting to wonder now has Tony actually bought Impact.

Agent Coulson · 13-01-2021 5:06am

Tony yes Tony I don't know whats so Good about them and Tony I don't think they are real Brothers either

AEW tomorrow on a real Network.

Paid for by Tony Khan.

CastorTroy · 13-01-2021 1:49pm

Yeah, Tony Khan seems to be having fun with those ads.

Interested to see how The Karate Man vs Ethan Page plays out.

13-01-2021 4:34pm

Matt Striker and D'Lo Brown will be their new announce team going forward starting with the PPV this weekend.

Josh Matthews was terrible tbf. I didn't like Striker as a colour commentator in WWE but not sure what he's like as the play by play guy.

Hard to Kill is live on Premier Sports 2 on Saturday night

RollieFingers · 16-01-2021 1:29pm

First time in quite a while I'm excited about an Impact show, tonight should be good. Definitely agree with the above about the new comms team, Matthews and Rayne could be hard to listen to at times.

The main event is obviously the attraction, I wonder will we see any other AEW heads appear during the show? Will be a cracker of a match either way, shame about Shelley but Moose isn't a bad replacement. The X-Division and Barbed Wire Massacre should be good too, you'll find me changing the channel when Ethan Page appears though, can't stand him.

riffmongous · 16-01-2021 2:21pm

I'm actually even more interested now that Moose is there, considering that him and Swann are in the middle of their own feud at the moment

Headshot · 16-01-2021 8:01pm

This is on Premier Sports 2 tonight at 1am

Don't you have to pay for it on Fite?

I have Premier Sports free with Eir

Agent Coulson · 16-01-2021 10:50pm

Shelly doesn't have an injury or COVID.

"I assure everyone out there, I don't have COVID. I am not orthopedically injured, but in the interest in safety, my situation is a very complex one. I put that first, as does Impact management, and they are doing the most in terms of precautions to make sure nobody is at risk at Hard to Kill or going forward. However, as a transient figure in pro wrestling, I promise you that no matter what I'll be back in Impact. You can count on that."

Blood?

I don't think I have premier sports. Happy to support Impact anyway.

Just spotted that on the Sky guide. Haven't been watching but I'll throw an eye. Probably flick between this and the NFL.

B.A._Baracus · 17-01-2021 4:24am

Am watching the show live and I really want to like Impact. But it's shi*e to be honest.

Pentecost · 17-01-2021 5:58am

It's a long way off AEW now for a promotion that was once the clear number two in the country. Passed a couple of hours but it didn't make me want to watch Impact on any kind of regular basis.

It's kind of summed up by Zack Ryder/Matt Cardona showing up as a big surprise and nobody caring

Cherry_Cola · 17-01-2021 6:07am

Yeah it's hard to like despite having some good talent. Serious performance by Moose who I don't think I've seen wrestle before.

Agent Coulson · 17-01-2021 12:54pm

Madison Rayne is 5ft3 and Gail Kim is 5ft4 and they both towered over Hogan & Steelz when they handed them the titles.

Haha I noticed that. Fire and Flava were the right pick but Havok looked like a beast in defeat.

Not sure how I feel about Taya tapping to Purrazzo and it's hard to see who they will position to take the title off her.

Moose has dropped weight and looked impressive in the main event.

RollieFingers · 17-01-2021 1:16pm

I liked the main event and Moose was really good, thought Barbed Wire massacre was good too. But yeh it's hard to care about Impact, MLW is a big step ahead as number 3 in the US for me.

Agent Coulson · 17-01-2021 1:40pm

I thought there was a lot more hints that there may be a working arrangement in place with NJPW.

Headshot · 17-01-2021 2:05pm

Ya I would agree, I kinda fast forward through alot of matches

I wouldnt be watching if Omega wasnt headlining tbh

Btw I fecking hate Josh Mathews...

It's quite amazing if you think about AEW is such a new promotion and already miles ahead of Impact

CastorTroy · 17-01-2021 3:18pm

Imagine in some alternate universe, they never brought in Hogan and Bischoff and the likes of AJ, Joe, Daniels and MCMG continued to help build the company.

I assumed Sabin would take the pin to be sure the Impact champion and Moose stayed protected.

The constant talk of being monumental and a big moment in wrestling history that another brand's champion is competing on Impact was annoying. Especially since Impact/TNA previously featured ones coming to the ring with titles from multiple promotions and even included footage of them winning those titles.

17-01-2021 3:28pm

Hopefully Cardona is done with AEW if he's showing up in Impact. Impact is more his level imo.

LineOfBeauty · 17-01-2021 4:06pm

I tried it. But God Striker is awful, cringe to the point where I did really consider turning off the audio. The product does nothing for me outside of Ace Austin and Chris Bey look good. Main event was very good though, the stretch was a lot of fun and Moose was impressive.

Headshot · 17-01-2021 4:12pm

Apologies it wasnt Josh Mathews who I hated commentating with D'lo but in fact Striker

God, Matt Striker was ****ing atrocious

He makes AEW Ogogo look world class

Agent Coulson · 17-01-2021 4:18pm

Is Josh leaving with his Mrs since they have been replaced on commentary or is he moving upstairs?

He received a promotion to Senior Producer and a new multi-year contract.

He was promoted.... apparently.

CastorTroy · 17-01-2021 5:34pm

I suppose being rewarded for years of loyalty? Or promoted out of the way?
Wonder if we'll see more of him in a backstage role like Scott.

He seemed to be saying "I'm here now" or something like that after his match.
I'm sure this week's Impact will have him and Brian Myers meeting up.

Yeah Matt Striker is as **** as I remember from when he was in WWE. He actually did the "I'm marking out, bro" line when Cardona came out :rolleyes: Didn't he say that at a royal rumble one year when someone returned?

You are correct. He did it the year Diesel returned in the 2011 40 man rumble.

CastorTroy · 18-01-2021 3:02am

Since Karate Man won, does that mean he stays in Impact?

Agent Coulson · 20-01-2021 1:15pm

I think it's AEW/Impact now.

Fun episode.

CastorTroy · 20-01-2021 2:07pm

They had fun with writing Taya off. If she's lucky she'll get sent to Jacksonville. But being unlucky, get sent to Stamford for 2 years with an option for 3. Ruins a person

Agent Coulson · 20-01-2021 2:12pm

She off to NXT/WWE to join the hubby I'd imagine.

riffmongous · 20-01-2021 7:09pm

It would be nice to see her debut at the Rumble if she's off to WWE.
