Impact Support Club House

That makes sense actually.

 

[Papa Pillman]

I thought that the bookend matches were very good night. Delivering on the matches that should be expected to deliver is something that TNA has gotten right so far in the new year.

Spoiler

And I like TNA adding Barnett. The guy is great on the mic, cares a ton about pro wrestling, and he can work. Using this to actually have time to build to a Lashley versus Barnett match that they can hype could turn out something awesome.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Not sure how I feel about Liberace Rex.

I liked Maria better when she didn't talk. Her voice is so annoying.

 

[Starkist]

This week's show sounded good. Going to try to watch it on YouTube.

I'm doing that now.

Hit me up if you want the link it was a bit of a pain to find one with this good quality.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Not sure how I feel about Liberace Rex.

Shit. Absolute shit.

He's been a total fucking flop in TNA thus far. That hot promo to start appears to have been a warm fart.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

That's what I'm thinking too but I've been known to like things that everyone else thinks is complete shit so I'm willing to give him a chance to see if it gets better.

But that's my love of Damien Sandow talking for the most part not any hope that this will actually get over.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

You're talking to the President of the Crimson fan club, so I feel you there, but Rex is a total dud.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

It's almost like Rex/Sandow was only a mediocre wrestler all along. I'm not going to deny that Mizdow was a fun gimmick, or that some of his booking before the Mizdow gimmick was questionable, but WWE didn't lose anything of value when they cut him. It's very telling that he spent a lot of time in development over multiple contracts with WWE. His return promo generated some buzz, but the guy just doesn't have it.

When he won the Grand Championship I was actually kind of deflated because I'm such a fan of Eddie, and in retrospect having Eddie be a dual champ would have been cool.

 

[Барбоса]

It's almost like Rex/Sandow was only a mediocre wrestler all along.

Indeed.

 

[Starkist]

Just watched the latest episode of TNA. Pretty solid show. TNA is on the right track it seems. I wonder if they are going to rid the TNA name itself and stick with being called Impact Wrestling?

 

[Sai the Uganda Guy]

Kurt Angle is to be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame.
I'm glad. He deserves it.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

He was my sole reason for watching TNA for a while back in the day. I hope they make mention of his time in TNA. He was with TNA longer than he was with WWE I believe, so I hope they don't go down the Sting route of acting like he left WWE and just wandered the wasteland for years.

 

[Alex]

They will though. They're more likely to mention WCPW than TNA

That's exactly what they'll do, though. You know this.

They'll just passingly refer to it as "time on the independent scene".

We will probably get JBL saying something like "he sure made an IMPACT after he left WWE hahaha."

They do mention NJPW from time to time, so we may hear about his short time there. It just pisses me off a bit that a good ten year chunk of his career is gonna be an after thought.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Well, they have working relationships with ROH and NJPW. TNA is a rival, so they'll continue to pretend they don't exist.

 

[Starkist]

Great on Angle but he to me will always be remembered for his time in TNA. He had a great run in WWE.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'd argue he's equally important to both companies. He'll be remembered for both.

 

[Starkist]

That's very true. It's Damn true!

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Good Lord Maria is annoying.

I like her the first episode I watched but this is is just getting annoyingly ******ed and needs to stop like 2 weeks ago

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Maria/Allie is the only interesting thing happening with the Knockouts.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Maria/Allie is the only interesting thing happening with the Knockouts.

but we need the ending soon. Hasn't it been going for months already and now Maria is ordering Braxton Sutter around like she owns him?

It just seems like they're keeping it going for the sake of keeping it going.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

It's still compelling IMO. I'd much rather watch that than listen to Rosemary and Jade cut horrific back-and-forth promos over the least interesting feud for the title in recent memory.

 

[Starkist]

At least Rosemary & Jade are fresh newer faces going at it. Thankfully Kim is out or retired or whatever because she can stay off the TV.

I think iMPACT has some good stories going on and handling the TV time each story gets pretty well.
