Find me one guy who sells harder and bigger for anyone than Robbie E on the TNA roster.

There's plenty of guys, but I do like Robbie I think he's good in his role as is Jesse, like Taz said he does a fine dropkick!

Now BFG...while I did enjoy it I think it may be time for me to take a break from TNA. These past couple of years I've watched it religiously and I'd defend TNA on a regular basis but lately I've been struggling to watch.

Joe Parks is fine, but not completely at the expense of Abyss.

Also, Kazarian isn't the only one that's balding. Check out the front of Bobby Roode's head.

 

[Hollywood Naitch]

Roode, Hardy, Aries, Joe, Angle, Bully, Sting, Storm

Who would you want to see as champion again, in order of preference. Mine is:

1. Roode
2. Angle
3. Hardy
4. Aries
5. Bully
6. Storm
7. Joe
8. Sting

I hope we see Magnus push on to the main event soon, it would great to finally see an English world champ in a major US promotion

 

[Lowdown]

I'd love to see Joe get another crack at the title. But it might not happen for a while.

1 Joe

[ヒュー　G.　レックション]

Neither Sting, Hardy nor Angle should touch the world title again IMO.

For who to dethrone Styles, in a dream scenario I'd probably go for Joe. He drew with AJ in their BFG match so Joe can beat him with no time limit.

1. Joe
2. Aries (First reign was cut short)
3. Roode (We know he can deliver the goods)
4. Storm (Only with sufficient pushing)
5. Bully (Would need an awesome storyline to get me interested)
6. Angle
7. Hardy
8. Sting

 

[Alex]

Agree on Angle and Sting, but Hardy would still be a good champion.

As to who I'd go for to fued with Styles

1. Roode
2. Aries
3. Joe
4. Hardy
5. Storm

 

[Dirk]

Agree on Angle and Sting, but Hardy would still be a good champion.

Yes, he would. Great avatar, by the way. TNA might as well throw another egg in the Hardy basket to buy canned fish and beans in preparation for 2015.

However, he's had a fun little run with it and it was a nice change of pace.

Here's my list, with throwaway reasons.
1 Storm - he's due a run.
2 Aries - he was a nice champ.
3 Daniels - how has he not been champ yet?
4 Roode - too selfish for his own EGO
5 Hardy - my own selfish reasons...

Honourable mention to Joe, because I also want to look cool...

 

[Cereal Killer]

I just what BFG and I haven't marked out this much in ages. The AJ and Bully match was a brawl so this weeks might be wrestling based, but the BFG match was still fantastic. Magnus and Sting could have gone longer, given the EC3 match wasn't on the card, but it made the Brit look good, which is why there shouldn't be a rematch. The tag-team match was awesome, but because this card is presumably the end of the Aces and Eights for the most part, they should have let the Modern Day Viking and the Cowboy retain their titles, so we could get more out of their title reign now that the crap is cleared off. There wasn't a problem with Sabin winning the X-Division Championship, but we should've got more high spots.


Overall though, it was a pretty good show, with the last 3 matches topping it off. Mainly because I didn't check the results before watching BFG. I had to avoid these sites for like a week. It's tougher than you think. There was a lot of drama here, and at some points it felt like Impact Wrestling, but I don't see how this was a bad show.

Oh and those crowd attendance bashers?

Hmm, not sure about order of preference, but I'm looking at Daniels, Bobby Roode, James Storm and Austin Aries. Especially Austin Aries, although James Storm seems more likely. Joe seems to have passed his prime, and we had Hardy recently. I do want to see him win again, but much after the other names.

I wouldn't really worry about their ages though. Sting and Angle made good champions past age/just before age 40, and look at the shape Daniels is in. There will only be two or three champions a year though, given that they have 4 PPV's a year, so I don't expect to see all these guys win the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in 2014. What I do expect though, and look forward to are very good title reigns by some of the best Wrestlers in TNA.

#ImpactWrestling

I don't understand the bashing. I don't care where I get it, I just want good wrestling. And 2 companies competing would provide that better. I wish TNA was doing better for that very reason. I watch loyally in hopes of that. I post in here just as I post in WWE threads because I support wrestling.

That said, your argument using that picture is not a strong one.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Kinda digging the ECIII character right now, but I'm much more curious as to how far they'll hot shot him in the coming weeks. Nephew of the President of the company story line where he's being fed scrubs to dismantle right now? At some point he's going to be given a major title shot, I'd have to imagine, no?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

He's been fantastic and that finisher is awesome. If it was me I would not give him a World Title shot too soon for now I would have him keep squashing these hand picked jobbers then if you want to help put over a new talent have him almost beat ECIII then EC gets weapon and destroys him or have him actually beat him

 

[shattered dreams]

I think it would be hilarious if Red was his first real match in a whoops not a scrub angle. EC3 seems like he has a ton of potential.

Heel Abyss vs AJ would be fun.

 

[Slash-LN]

1. Aries
2. Storm
3. Roode
4. Hardy
5. Angle
6. Joe
7. Sting
8. Bully

Obviously it's wrestling so things can always change but didn't Sting lose a match that cost him the chance to ever compete for the title again?

I was trying to prove a point, the WWE marks are trying to put TNA down for the crowd attendance, yet their attendance is low at times. Bound For Glory was a once in a blue moon moment for them. I doubt it's ever happened at BFG before, or it will happen again for a long time.

Anyway, I don't have to be a fan of both products just to be a wrestling fan. I don't watch WWE, indys or oversees wrestling; just TNA. If that's not classed as a wrestling fan, what is it classed as?

While I could care less about crowd attendances, you're missing a big point.

Bound for Glory is TNA's WrestleMania. WWE don't tarp off one side of the stadium at WrestleMania, WCW didn't tarp off one side at Starrcade, not even Ring of Honor tarps off a side for Final Battle. At their biggest event of the year they couldn't build enough interest in what they promoted to fill the arena, that is why its such a big deal. You bring up an episode of Raw? Lets not forget a Smackdown taping last year had three thousand in attendance, but it's irrelevant because this wasn't a taping of Impact, it was their biggest event of the year.

What it is, was another attempt to expand beyond their means. That is why reverting back to Florida is such a positive thing, they tried to expand and they failed in almost every single way. PPV buys have dropped, TV ratings are the same, attendances have increased solely because they are doing bigger arenas outside the Impact Zone but they've lost a lot of money.

And also while it varies, a wrestling fan at least to me is someone who actively watches wrestling. One who can watch any wrestling. WWE, TNA, ROH, PWG, NJPW, the local show in your town, doesn't matter. If you follow TNA and TNA alone but are unable of finding any other wrestling product to interest you then you are a TNA fan.

Again, my point was that TNA isn't the only company having struggles. Nobody said BFG was a Wrestlemania equivalency. Starrcade might have been but BFG is nowhere on that level. Is it meant to be their biggest show? Yes it its. Is is meant to be in mainstream media? I don't think their aims are that high yet. Raw's attendance is usually much larger than an average Bound For Glory anyway, so it was worth bringing up, and I reckon that this build up was pretty good.

What it is, was another attempt to expand beyond their means. That is why reverting back to Florida is such a positive thing, they tried to expand and they failed in almost every single way. PPV buys have dropped, TV ratings are the same, attendances have increased solely because they are doing bigger arenas outside the Impact Zone but they've lost a lot of money.

Right on. I understand that none of their ideas of expanding isn't working, nor will it happen. Several people have generally lost interest since the 80's and 90's, so the company isn't going to go anywhere. WWE's is in an okayish position because they had fans in the first place, have a product for most audiences and have money. The best TNA can do is make the product as good as they can, and I believe that they are on that path.

And also while it varies, a wrestling fan at least to me is someone who actively watches wrestling. One who can watch any wrestling. WWE, TNA, ROH, PWG, NJPW, the local show in your town, doesn't matter. If you follow TNA and TNA alone but are unable of finding any other wrestling product to interest you then you are a TNA fan.

I don't understand. That's like wearing a WWE T-shirt, liking T-shirts but hating the WWE. Would you do that?
TNA is a wrestling company. They cater to wrestling fans. Therefore, I class myself as a wrestling fan. I don't dislike the WWE, or any other wrestling based company, but it's just not my kind of thing. I can sit through 2, maybe the full 3 hours of it, but I choose not to. How's that sound?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

“@AJStylesOrg: Really looking forward to defending my title around the world. No worries, I'll bring the belt to you.”

OH YES

 

[Lowdown]

Any chance he shows up at ROH and Hollywood Wrestling?

Jumping on the EC3 bandwagon. The man is great. Especially that theme.

Meltzer said in the newsletter last Friday TNA went to ROH to try and do some business early last year and Sinclair Broadcasting rejected any proposals because they want the company to stand alone and it doesn't see why it should do business with them after past deals have gone so badly.

AJ will do Wrestle-1 and AAA. because that is who TNA is loosely affiliated with. NJPW are affiliated with ROH, AJPW is possible but that would probably upset Muta, NOAH has some talents but again it's in the air on if they'd do business.

Yeah, I'm digging this guy quite a bit right now. His entrance is sick.
