[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Can't wait to see how this show comes across on TV

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Yeah, same. I only attended the final taping, so I won't be looking for myself for a few weeks, but this whole set of tapings and the story lines going on are just awesome.

I probably won't be in live, though. Company-sponsored happy hour tonight from 5:30 to 8:30 and then my buddy is back in town (moved to Portland, Oregon) for the night, so I'll swing by after to say hello before heading home. Probably won't watch until IMPACT is almost over.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

So sick.

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Yea I'll be looking for myself tonight in the crowd I had a wolves shirt

WOW awesome video

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Where were your seats?

I was on the right side of the entrance ramp for mine, so I should be visible quite often as each guy made his way to the ring or back up the ramp.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

My seats were section C 2nd row

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I have no idea what that means — where in relation to the ring or camera?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

I think I was opposite the camera

 

[Slash-LN]

That video was well done.

Tonight looks like a good card.

The X Division match should be sick minus Crazy Steve.

Good main event.

Looking forward to Rhino.

Kenny King should deliver like always.

Definitely enough stuff to get excited for.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Yeah, and TNA really seem to be getting behind this whole set of tapings like the dawn of a new era in the company. The six-sided return seems to be the visual representation of it, but you can tell it's beyond that — they're really putting a great emphasis on the wrestling product again.

The New York tapings sounded good, though I'm skeptical about getting my hopes up again. Also Bound For Glory being in Japan and looking like TNA vs. Wrestle-1, I'm really not sure what to expect.

 

[jmt225]

I'm definitely watching tonight. Not a big fan of the switch to the 6-sided-ring, but an NYC pro wrestling audience is can't miss television.

Me either, but if you remember, my "goal" for reinventing TNA coming out of all those dipping ratings and the sort of short-term mass exodus that was occurring a few months back between AJ, Sting, etc. leaving was to use MVP as a means to redefine the company as the premiere American wrestling company. Especially on the heels of them utilizing Samoa Joe more, and bringing in the Wolves.

I kinda hope that's actually the plan, even if it's got a longer arc than I'd like to see personally, so the TNA versus Wrestle-1 thing might actually be the best thing for them in that regard.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

I think we'll see Sanada vs Muta but besides that I don't know what other W-1 TNA matches we could get?

 

[Lowdown]

I'm in as usual.

 

[Cereal Killer]

Well, back to watching this. I have high hopes as well so it better be good and I'm guessing it will, looking at the card.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

After the big deal made about the 6 sided ring, I think I will be paying extra attention to its stiffness tonight.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Freakin crazy NYers

 

[Spidey Revivey]

cool Hardy vid

 

[Chrome]

Hype man Kurt Angle!!!

 

[Slash-LN]

I like how important they're making things out to be.

 

[Chrome]

This looks awesome

 

[Lowdown]

Gotta give mad props on the opening so far.

 

[Chrome]

This feels fresh
