IMPACT Wrestling LD for 01.30.14 — Who is the New Investor?

[It's Damn Real!]

The lighting is a bad sign for the attendance. It's an old WCW trick.

I guess. Sounds right though. Sounds full and the crowd looks fine on screen.

 

[DarksideEric]

Looks wall-to-wall to me.

An earlier picture on WrestleZone stated that I think the 3rd level was all tarped off.

The main site has been editing and removing descriptions and pictures though.

Seeing reports of how they get 300 to 1200 at other events in the US, this arena looks in no way to be that number, that's a lot of people than what we're used to seeing weekly.

There's reports saying TNA at the least met their initial ticket sales objective.

 

[ABMorales787]

Velvet looks like a Power Ranger.

Yeah it does. I remember the same thing happening at a COTC in 1992 though, until a cameraman screwed up and showed one side of the arena totally empty.

 

[ABMorales787]

Damn, Sabin has the character down to a tee.

 

[DarksideEric]

The top tier of the building is tarped off, but while he expected the second level to be tarped off, it was filling up quickly prior to bell time.

It's good that it has more people than here in the States, just stating that it's unfortunate that it's not as full as it could be.

 

[afromania]

Sabin got that Kassius Ohno look going.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Damn, Sabin has the character down to a tee.

Yeah. First time I've cared about him in years. He's got this thing down pat.

 

[klunderbunker]

Now remember: the new investor will represent the old guard. I have a feeling this could be very backwards.

 

[ABMorales787]

Convinced that it's full now, KB?

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Now remember: the new investor will represent the old guard. I have a feeling this could be very backwards.

What do you mean? Represent what old guard?

 

[klunderbunker]

Convinced that it's full now, KB?

Close enough. I didn't think it was bad. I thought it might have been misleading.

 

[ABMorales787]

Friends from long ago? No Surrender 2011 says differently.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Gunner needs new theme music, badly.

 

[klunderbunker]

What do you mean? Represent what old guard?

Dixie and company want to get rid of the dinosaurs of TNA. The new investor helped Sting and Joe last week. I just don't want it to be some young person standing up for the old guys while old Dixie is standing up for the new ones. It's all backwards. Granted I don't want this storyline at all but it's TNA so you can't escape the idea.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Is there any chant more annoying than "what?"

To be honest if it is a new guy, it would be Kurt, Joe, the investor and The Wolves. Kurt would be the only old guy around.

 

[ABMorales787]

What the fuck?! The fuck got into the crowd? Are they drunk?!!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Never ceases to amaze me how well Storm can control a crowd. Guy just handles them every time, no matter where he is.

 

[ABMorales787]

So, remind me again why James Storm isn't the main event guy?

 

[klunderbunker]

To be honest if it is a new guy, it would be Kurt, Joe, the investor and The Wolves. Kurt would be the only old guy around.

Joe has been around for almost ten years now. He's old in TNA.

 

[Chrome]

lol Monkey Fart... lol I love Bad Influence.

 

[Chrome]

Hmm a lot on the line tonight heh?

 

[klunderbunker]

So, remind me again why James Storm isn't the main event guy?

He's lost so many times in big matches that it's hard to buy him as a main event guy anymore?
