Seems that way, which is good as Josh was driving me nuts as the heel commentator tonight. HAving a heel commentator is a good thing but having him as your lead play by play man doesn't work. It didn't work for Michael Cole and it's not working here. Bringing in JB as a face play by play man is fine and makes this work.

Yeah, that's my problem with it, too. Heel commentator's work best in a color role. TNA had it right with drunk Don West. If JB takes over the play-by-play and Josh moves to third man, I'm alright with this.

I wonder if Garza Jr. could get over like he did in Mexico. That dude is awesome and could actually attract a female audience with his heartthrob gimmick.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

The DNA of TNA is returning according to Wrestling Inc.

[Starkist]

Not bad but not interesting. They need to try to get CM Punk.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

So they are addressing the tag title situation at tonight's taping.

Spoiler

Decay came out and demanded that Pritchard give them the belts, only to be attacked from behind by LAX.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Apparently they're advertising Jim Ross' Ringside with JR show... odd, if they aren't actually working together.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Yeah i know. I was thinking about that. TNA did say there would be someone at this set of tapings that would get the whole wrestling world talking. Maybe it is JR. He has denied it completely on his Twitter, but last time he denied something as often as he is denying this was when he he joined New Japan for that spell.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Indeed, and they dropped his name hard according to what I've read with JB and Matthews arguing over him on commentary for this weeks episode.

 

[Richard Blonoff]

Apparently they have Matthews going hard on the fans. He made a quip welcoming "all the fans that couldn't afford a ticket to NXT."

 

[ShinChan]

Matthews was annoying as a face. But he's even more horrible as a heel.

I thought that no one could pass Matthews in annoyance. Well, Matthews did it himself. Damn. Instead of Drew Galloway, IMPACT Wrestling should've gotten rid of Matthews.

 

[Papa Pillman]

UGGGGHHHH...

Matt Morgan is boring on the mic and objectively worse in the ring than anyone on the roster, including Tyrus. Between adding him back and being rumored to be giving Karen Jarrett TV time, Impact is trying very hard to lose me as a viewer. You can't pay me to watch a Matt Morgan segment in 2017.

 

[ABMorales787]

So, Rey Mysterio update. Him, Konnan and Dutch Mantel will apparently be working in some capacity with WWL which is 100% incapable of paying them, so anything they do is in fact free. Needless to say, Rey in TNA seems more and more likely.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I've always enjoyed Morgan. So long as they doesn't get into a "respect-off" promo, I'm good with him coming back.

 

[Starkist]

The heavyweight division could use him. EC3, Patron, Lashley, and Barnett would be the only heavyweight guys going for the title soon.

Was Barrnet a one show type of signing or is he going to be featured more in the show?

 

[klunderbunker]

Not mentioned in any spoilers I've seen.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Barnett mentioned it was kind of a one-off, but he's open to doing more work with them in the future.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

According to spoilers they're keeping the TNA tag titles, which I'm OK with and not OK with at the same time. I love the design of those titles, so I'm OK with them keeping it, but I kind of wish they spent the money on updated versions that just read Impact Wrestling without the old TNA logo.

Of course, it likely costs a few thousand per title to press new ones. Even simplified designs tend to run around $1000 each.

 

[Starkist]

So wait, the Tag Titles will still have TNA on them?

That would not be a good idea for them. Now my thoughts of a new WHC being introduced are dead and gone.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

It could just be they're still in the process of creating new titles. It takes weeks for complicated designs to be produced, and even simple titles cost around $1000.

 

[Starkist]

Well, yeah that makes sense. But why not have it done in advance since they should know Pritchard was going to cut the promo about losing the TNA name.

Idk if that needs to be in spoiler tags or not.

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Haven't seen anything about Matt Morgan yet in spoilers. I know he's doing a charity show somewhere up here in the northeast soon so maybe that's all he's stepping back in the ring for?

 

[Starkist]

Hardy's win the ROH Tag Team Champion belts from a surprise appearance.

 

[ShinChan]

Hardy's win the ROH Tag Team Champion belts from a surprise appearance.

Yupp. They will lose the titles back to Bucks at Supercard Of Honor and then come back to WWE on next night after Wrestlemania, I think.

 

[Alex]

Somebody said how the Hardys are geniuses for retaining the rights to the Broken gimmick and sowing interpromotional ideas before they left TNA.

Shame WWE wouldn't capitalise on it

 

[Starkist]

They should go to NJPW, not WWE.
