IMPACT Wrestling LD - All Dates

I really wish they'd strap a rocket to his back already. I need him in the main event where he belongs.

But then we wouldn't have Lashley being completely unbeatable (save for all those times he's lost).

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Lashley's reached a point where he needs to drop the title and shift focus, at least temporarily, to a feud just outside of the main event. Sheera is probably too far to fall, but someone like Moose, Storm, or even Low Ki isn't.

 

[klunderbunker]

No they aren't. The problem here is Alberto and Lashley barely have a full character between them. They're basically both "I'm a good wrestler" but one has an accent. Lashley is big, strong, cocky and......tell me ANYTHING else about his personality. The same is true for Alberto. That doesn't make for a good main event of the second biggest show of the year.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I actually think they're going to put on a hell of a match. I'm really not worried about that match. I'm worried about them holding the title hostage between them through to Bound For Glory.

 

[ShinChan]

Ethan Carter III should've been in the main event replacing either of them.

 

[ShinChan]

So, Is today's show worth seeing?

One of the Worst Shows They've Ever Had

So, Is today's show worth seeing?

No. Watch the Sonjay/Ki highlights on YouTube.

 

[ShinChan]

Why not have Shera come in at #1 and then make him win? Instead of coming last and having the most easy way out!

I don't trust TNA to not do something stupid. You can pencil in multiple ref bumps and I wouldn't be surprised if Lashley retained.

Because that would make sense and that's not how this company works.

 

[klunderbunker]

Sutter out first? I'm stunned.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm actually live tonight.

 

[klunderbunker]

So Moose brings in an NFL player to back him up one week.

Then that NFL player is announced as wrestling at Slammiversary.

"WHO WILL MOOSE'S SLAMMIVERSARY PARTNER BE??? FIND OUT NEXT!!!"

They really do think we're this slow don't they?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

TNA also already announced it a week ago.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep. Such is life around here.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I never understood the appeal of ADR, but I'll be honest... I like his face run thus far with Impact.

 

[klunderbunker]

He's always been better as a face so WWE insisted that his face run be crushed immediately.

 

[klunderbunker]

Lashley and Alberto have been built up well but I don't feel the slightest bit of fire or spark when they're in the ring together. It doesn't feel personal and that's a bad thing.

 

[klunderbunker]

Review is up.

They're Building to Slammiversary.....But They're Building to Slammiversary

 

[It's Damn Real!]

It's lacked that small extra ingredient of this being truly personal. Like having Lashley beat the living shit out of Patron's father, for example.

 

[klunderbunker]

Well apparently Dos Caras is going to be at the pay per view. Of course we're less than ten days away and this hasn't been mentioned on TV but he'll be there.

That's the kind of stuff that gets old with this company: they pay for someone to be there and they either don't advertise it (or advertise it at the last minute) or treat it as an afterthought. Caras being there is cool, but make it feel important. Otherwise it's just going to be "hey he's here" and we move on. That's little more than a waste of time and money.

 

[ShinChan]

The fact that the main event has happened before with zero build also affects it badly.

 

[klunderbunker]

That's a relief. The Spud vs. Swoggle street fight was taped last and I was worried that would close the show.

They're a victim of circumstance, in some cases. Like with Drago and others being advertised as well. As I understand it, those deals were struck late.

Plus, with them taping upward of four to five episodes in advance, it's really tough to work around that.

I really don't buy that they can't record a quick insert and put it in. Maybe instead of the HILARIOUS training videos or Josh and JB talking trash to each other.
