IMPACT Wrestling LD - All Dates

[Starkist]

You should just give it a shot Mighty Normal. It's better than it was while they were on Destination America. They are featuring just about all the right people on TV.

Now Moose has arrived which makes it all that much better.

 

[klunderbunker]

Ten minutes in and we've had two Matt and Jeff segments with at least a match to go.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm in. Matt is still hilarious.

 

[klunderbunker]

He's amusing and selling the heck out of the character but they put him out there WAY too much. It's a very good and creative idea but TNA has never been one to get the concept of less is more.

 

[klunderbunker]

Matt has stopped being so much British and is starting to sound like Mr. Burns.

 

[klunderbunker]

I do really like the idea of getting through the first round in one night. Having them stretch out for so long gets tiresome, especially when there's only a handful of realistic options to win the thing.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Matt has stopped being so much British and is starting to sound like Mr. Burns.

Yeah, he's all over the place with the accent. I also love the "with wheels" thing he does. "Chair with wheels", "bike with wheels", etc.

Yeah. Single elimination tourneys are the only ones I can handle in wrestling.

Indeed. The other problem a long version creates is "There's a tournament? Let me know when the finals are on. I'll be watching anything else in the process."

Yup. The World Title series was that for me.

 

[klunderbunker]

It really is amazing how much better this show is when Matt and Jeff aren't around every five minutes.

 

[klunderbunker]

"Hi. My name is Marti and my gimmick is I speak Spanish."

 

[klunderbunker]

Maria to Gail: "Stop thinking this is all about you."

Only in TNA could that be a heel statement.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Knockouts need more bodies.

 

[klunderbunker]

That package for next week said "Tonight." That's twice in three weeks that they've screwed something like that up.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I missed it.

 

[klunderbunker]

It was pretty quick. They were showing next week's matches with Josh saying "next week on Impact". The only word on screen was TONIGHT in big white letters.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Ha! Well, that's why you should pay the production folks on time!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Eddie can go. TNA needs more of this. I like the comedy. It's funny. But this is what they should be building on. Just high-energy solid as fuck wrestling matches.

 

[klunderbunker]

.....why is this a cage match? Bennett and Moose are banned from ringside so why is this in a cage?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'd rather they not have been banned. Leave it a cage match as a response to what happened last week, and even have them come out and try and interfere. Maybe successfully. But maybe not. You could do a nice spot where Bennett climbs the outside of the cage and gets drop kicked off it, for example.

Yeah it's kind of defeating the purpose of this being in a cage. One or the other is fine but not both.

 

[klunderbunker]

So much for the running knee meaning anything.

It gave Dixie a reason to be on TV. Needlessly.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

This was a lot of fun, but I'm still not a fan in the slightest of repeatedly kicking out of finishers. Stop calling them finishers if you aren't going to actually finish matches with them. Call them potential finishers, or signature moves or something.
