IMPACT Wrestling for 08.01.13 is from Wichita, Texas! Who is #August1Warning?

[Gelgarin]

AJ's terrible hair is growing on me.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Damn I love the BFG series. One of TNA's best ideas.

Agree.


What!!! Wrestling matches which actually bear meaning in standings towards a title match!!


By god, the two of us must be biblical-aged to appreciate such things.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

I will not be excited for Tito Ortiz.

 

[klunderbunker]

I didn't like the first one because it was such a mess but the second and third have been much better.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Hmm mafia segment goes on last? Most likely it is Ortiz then. Davey Richards getting involved in this match could be interesting but the pieces tonight don't fit. I guess there is still a little hope for Muta.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[Whap Me Jungles]

I will be bitterly disappointed if Ortiz has a hand in this.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

The best part about the BFG series is not only is it a tournament with meaningful (and some very good) matches, but its length allows feuds to develop and continue at the same time.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

What's to be disappointed about with Ortiz, assuming it's him? TNA gets to cross-promote with Bellator, and they bring in another MMA star with major name recognition. Gets people talking about the product, and most of all, means the TNA/IW name likely gets dropped on networks like ESPN and SportsCenter.

 

[Whap Me Jungles]

I'm unable to enjoy this match because I'm worried how bad the reveal will be.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Yeah but so far the MMA guys haven't led anywhere inside of TNA.

 

[Gelgarin]

I have no strong feelings either way on Ortiz since I don't really know who he is. If he does stuff then I'm all up for it, if he doesn't then I'm not keen but whatever. That's assuming that it's him of course.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

That actually looked hard on Aries.

 

[shattered dreams]

Ouch

Short version: I watch wrestling shows for wrestling, not MMA cross promotion.

 

[Whap Me Jungles]

Again, if this is Tito Ortiz, I can no longer enjoy TNA.

In the past they worked out fine. Trigg played a fine role for a period of time, and Shamrock was big in year one. Even Lashley wasn't horrible when they had him. The only guy they shot their load with too early was Mo.

You're an idiot.

 

[Lowdown]

Is this August 1 guy gonna be be affiliated with the Mafia?

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Liked that counter.

That's fine, but wrestling hasn't been about wrestling (exclusively) since around 1985. McMahon made it a spectacle. Everyone ran with it. That's how you ended up with Rodman and Malone, Tyson, LT, etc.

He fuck your girlfriend or something?

 

[Gelgarin]

This is brilliant,

 

[Whap Me Jungles]

You're damn right this is awesome.

True, but there's a difference between building to a wrestling match and building to an MMA fight, which is why Ortiz would be there, leading to endless talk of their upcoming fight.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

You're an idiot.

I know your TNA Dave N Busters checks keep rolling in, but he is allowed to be disappointed. How many times does TNA's big surprises get to end up being nothing that will effect the week to week quality of the show?

Gimmie Orton or Mysterio or someone.
