The road to the October 20th Bound For Glory Pay-Per-View event continues!​

 

[Danger Burger]

Man, I love a good mystery!!

 

[Starkist]

Is this August 1st, person actually going to debut or is TNA going to drag this on?

Hopefully they debut this mystery person tonight. Hopefully I'm not disappointed.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Didn't be mention something he needed to discuss or something like that? Sounds to me like a promo revealing his first feud.

 

[Starkist]

I haven't listened to all three videos yet, so I am not sure what the mystery person has spoken of.


Well, I have watched one not the last two.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Should be interesting to see the response both here on the forums, as well as live, to the Bob Holly reveal.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Stacked show tonight

 

[Skairipa Matrix]

Sabin vs Perkins one on one should be a good match if they give it the time to be.

Also looking forward to finding out the mystery person but hopefully its not Bob Holly or Bobby Lashley.

I have a feeling, if TNA does this right, that the August 1st person comes out and destroys both Sabin and Manik to make his name known.

It will have meaning if it is not someone who is going to get shit all over by us IWC'ers.

Who August1Warning is only matters as much as how well he's used, even if he is Bob Holly or someone like that. The fact so many of you are judging this to be a bust before the guy even steps into the ring is absurd.

Some names are more favored than others. If you get a guy like Batista for example, you get a proven draw and notable name. If you get Davey Richards you get one of the best wrestlers in the world, someone who has International experience and something new to national wrestling. If you get Low Ki, you get a notable name to TNA fans who has past championship experience and history with the company.

If you get Bob Holly you get a known name and a veteran, but that's it. Not a big name, can't really bring anything new to the show, isn't a ratings draw, isn't going to make any fans change the channel to see what Bob is doing next - just a veteran people will recognize as "that guy from the Attitude Era" which we know now simply doesn't work.

I don't see anyone ragging on it before it happens, but if it turns out to be someone like Bob Holly, majority of people will be disappointed because he isn't anything special and brings nothing new or unique to the table.

 

[Danger Burger]

I'm looking forward to it being Bob Holly

Love that impact!

The fact that you're so overly sensitive about anything criticizing TNA is equally absurd. No one's calling it a bust. People are taking jabs at TNA for promoting another "big reveal." Calm down, son.

I am not shitting on it, I am a fan of Holly. I just hope TNA does this right.

Yeah, I get that, but I don't give a shit about ratings. I care about what I like, not what you like — you being the proverbial you, as in the general viewing audience.

All I care about is being entertained. If Holly is the guy and he can do it, so be it.

Yeah, you say that as if this forum doesn't exist on a large level simply to shit on anything that isn't WWE. There's a reason people like me are this defensive of the product. It's literally being shit on before the angle is even revealed. You've been around me long enough to know that I don't just swallow whatever I'm fed, but I'm certainly going to taste it before I tell you it tastes like shit.

Everything WWE is shit on too. Especially debuts and signings. Everything is "guilty until proven innocent" in this place.

First of all, it isn't literally being shit on. Second, Who is shitting on it? I haven't seen anyone yet.

 

[Starkist]

This thread has more discussion in it than any Smackdown threads; and the show has not even begun yet!

 

[ScreaminNormanSmiley]

The august warning angle is pretty shit.

YOU SON OF A BITCH!!

 

[FunKay the Inevitable]

Hey IMPACTers, need to kill some time? Well the e-fed, WZCW, is mere minutes away from the start of its largest show of the year, Kingdom Come. It all kicks off at 5 EST (or 10 BST if you're from my part of the world) and we too have an LD available right here:

I'm kicking myself for that one.

Habs, for one, is up to his usual snarky sarcastic self.

All I'm trying to say is that regardless of who it is, why not actually let it happen before we call it a bust?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Sadly wont be able to participate in the thread tonight

 

[Lowdown]

Maybe the warning is Matt Morgan...... Regardless, should be an entertaining night.
