IMPACT Wrestling LD - All Dates

[MrHashasheen]

This was WAY out of TNA's style. Like, not even close. It's like they were trying to emulate Lucha and it felt really off.

Really? Because stuff like this feels right up their alley. Add other grimy stuff like the Decay, humorous stuff like Eli Drake, the southern-esque rivalry between top guys like Galloway, Carter and Lashley and it all mixes together into a very TNA fashion. I mean the camera work alone isn't something so different from a lot of the angles they use on typical promos, albeit with holograms and drones added on.

It certainly feels more right than a straight up WWE imitation or a ROH-style product.

Yeah but the difference is those things are about wrestling. Lashley is a wrestler, Carter's thing was he had never been pinned, and Galloway's thing was STAND UP FOR WRESTLING.

Matt and Jeff had drones and holograms. Those are very, very different things.

Yeah, and the Hardy stuff is that they're crazy backyarders who epitomize the grimy side of the scene despite being big-time legends. It works perfectly for TNA.

 

[klunderbunker]

Appealing to backyard wrestling isn't a good idea.

 

[MrHashasheen]

Appealing to backyard wrestling isn't a good idea.

It is when you're using the Hardy mythology, for lack of a better term. It's like saying using Satan and shit hasn't worked for the Undertaker.

 

[klunderbunker]

....not really.

 

[MrHashasheen]

Eh, to each their own.

 

[Starkist]

I liked the Hardy angle.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm in.

 

[klunderbunker]

Oh yay. It continues.

By that I mean the Final Deletion and its ridiculous overhype as well as the X-Division being the same people it always is (plus Sutter) being given no development or stories other than "here they are and they've got ladders!"

 

[It's Damn Real!]

The X Division needs a heel like they had in Doug Williams years ago. Someone to come in and rip them all for having no direction and claim to be the new direction.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

There's a lot of talent here, but I want feuds. Personal feuds. Not every-man-for-himself battle royals everytime they need a new contender.

But they're high flying! And death defying! And they climb things! Isn't that enough for you?

Wait I know: drones and boats. That'll fix it.

 

[klunderbunker]

WOOT! TOURNAMENT! EVEN LESS PERSONAL!!!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm on a slight delay. Still catching up. Just got past Richards' return.

 

[klunderbunker]

Great. Another week of TNA fans telling me how stupid I am for not seeing the BRILLIANCE of a secret door to Maxill's room and Reby sliding down the Batpole.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Crazzy Steve has gotten jacked.

 

[klunderbunker]

Yep. Well to be fair Decay was getting over as an act and that means it's time to split them up. You wouldn't want someone to stand in the way of the Wolves' latest tag team dominance would you?

 

[klunderbunker]

Is this the entire division at the moment? I mean, Madison Rayne is there for spot matches but she's barely part of the division as a whole.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Allie counts. She just hasn't wrestled much. Ditto Maria.

 

[klunderbunker]

Uh yeah I'm not counting them unless they actually wrestle.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Allie just wrestled a week or two ago. Maria hasn't yet, but would have if she hadn't broken her wrist.

 

[klunderbunker]

WE GET IT! MATT IS WEIRD AND CRAZY AND HAS A FAMILY!

 

[klunderbunker]

Allie just wrestled a week or two ago. Maria hasn't yet, but would have if she hadn't broken her wrist.

yues ok master we get it. I'm stupid with TNA and wrong every freaking week.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I mean, you can get butt hurt about it, but you're the one being a stickler here. I'm just saying, by your own line, she counts. She just wrestled.
