IMPACT Wrestling LD for 01.07.14 — Destination America Debut... Roode/Lashley III

[klunderbunker]

Has Josh actually introduced himself yet?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

The commentary table is on the balcony?

Only in the Manhattan Center. Has to do with the layout of the building. No where to put it on the floor without sacrificing floor seats.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'm usually far too distracted by the eye candy to care. Kind of like Velvet Sky matches.

I meant her looks. Velvet isn't bad either. I've always been a Christy Hemme fan. It's a shame they can't bring in Maria Kanellis. I got to meet her in person at an ROH show last year and she's the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen not named Becca.

 

[Papa Pillman]

M-V-Pussy chant.

I love NYC.

 

[Starkist]

The set is nice. Saga, how can you complain about light when you love ROH?

Has Josh actually introduced himself yet?

I don't think so, no. Was wondering that myself.

He's a little muted than I remember too, or maybe I'm mistaken?

This is the only show they'll need it for anyway, for future broadcasts commentary will surely be added in post-production.

 

[ABMorales787]

Damn. That entrance set looks AWESOME.

 

[ABMorales787]

Oh my God! The commentators. They're........ Commentating.

 

[ABMorales787]

Wow. I'm impressed.

 

[Papa Pillman]

The turnbuckles are gigantic.

They always have been in the 6-sided ring, it's due to the angle of the corners.

I love the color scheme and overall look, aside from the lighting of course.

 

[Fire Marshall Bill]

Sucks I won't be able to see Velvet or Taryn on my tv anymore. Enjoy the TNA LDs without me from here on out

That's what they did for all the shows from NYC this past summer.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

Not a bad start. New look is alright too. Don't like that they kept their sneaky, handheld camera backstage scenes but whatever, guess it's their trademark.

I dunno who your cable provider is, but my buddy said it cost him less than $5 to add the package that DA is on to his cable package.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Don't know if TNA has checked out LU and their camera or what cause I'm really digging their camera-work thus far.

That's one of my favorite aspects of the TNA brand.

 

[The Dragon Saga]

You want to know the difference?

ROH's entire set-up has always been black and red. Black canvas, black ropes, sometimes even black turnbuckle, black guard rails, black barricades, they have an odd affinity toward black. But even the biggest ROH fans want them to improve the lighting, ROH's lighting doesn't make it alright for TNA to do - it's not even necessarily bad, but it's just an odd choice.

 

[ABMorales787]

Pfft. That's what they meant by "pulling the curtain back"? OK. I can live with that.

 

[Bagpipes]

Tyrus' beard. Wow.

 

[ABMorales787]

So Mike's a modern Mean Gene?

 

[Galvatron]

Tyrus looked Amish.

 

[Awesome_Miz]

Thank god for Josh Matthews taking play-by-play cause right now commemtary sounds the best I've heard in wrestling in yrs.

 

[Papa Pillman]

Pfft. That's what they meant by "pulling the curtain back"? OK. I can live with that.

They did say don't expect tonight to look exactly like the show will look going forward from a backstage segment perspective, due to tonight being live.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

So Mike's a modern Mean Gene?

Works for me.
