Impact Support Club House

[Hyorinmaru]

I enjoyed it immensely.

 

[Starkist]

From what I have been reading, TNA seems to be putting more focus on the in ring product again. Which is what really makes TNA, TNA.

 

[Papa Pillman]

That makes a lot of sense Starkist, when we sit back and consider that Anthem is a sports entertainment entity that owns multiple fight sport networks, one of which airs Impact and lead to their TNA investment.

Putting more emphasis back on the "fight sport" aspect of their pro wrestling product is logical, especially if it can be done without being at the expense of the entertainment side.

 

[Starkist]

I didn't think of it from that perspective which makes a ton of sense. Maybe Anthem can push TNA as a fighting style sport versus entertainment. Kind of what I hear NJPW does.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

I just hope they change the rules for the Grand Championship.

I really don't like the MMA style rules for it.

 

[Starkist]

Yeah, I think it is ok. I get it but again don't like it. Some back story behind it would have been nice. I can say that if it starts to put on some fast hard hitting matches withe high impact moves (no pun intended), I could get more into it.

 

[ShinChan]

Moose Vs. Bennett was quite good.

My only nitpick would be consecutive use of piledriver, one simple and other on a chair and still not getting the pin.

 

[ShinChan]

Good news if it's true.

Spoiler

JB did commentary in place of Josh!

That's just how much the challenger or champion wanted the belt. Just how I view it.

if this is true I will be a very happy person

...for a match, or for like the entire tapings?

 

[ShinChan]

I think that it was for multiple matches.

Not for full tapings.

 

[Starkist]

Still, JB is better than Mathews. Mathews does try and sometimes it is a little to hard.

The things like Oh My God at most of the moves executed is dumb. I can understand when it's a new move or big move but not at every move. Plus, shouting a lot doesn't help either.

I get annoyed when commentary says that he got nailed or hit without any specifications.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Josh Matthews's gotta go. He can have a happy life doing radio, but he's really bad on commentary.

 

[klunderbunker]

MAJOR development at tonight's tapings.

Spoiler

Josh Barnett, as in the former UFC CHampion who was recently popped for steroids, just beat Lashley to become TNA World Champion.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

No fucking way.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep. On his debut with the promotion too.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Spoiler

Jesus.

 

[klunderbunker]

Because.....ratings? For those of you wanting a different MMA fighter under steroid issues.

 

[klunderbunker]

Hang on a second.

Spoiler

Actually wait as it's a Dusty Finish so Lashley gets the title back.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Alright, I don't hate that, actually. Sets up something long-term.

 

[klunderbunker]

Indeed, like MMA vs. MMA, because that's what wrestling fans want.

 

[Hyorinmaru]

Well this is kind of silly

 

[Starkist]

I'm just going with it. Anthem is a fighting network so i figured MMA would work it's way back into TNA.
