[Cereal Killer]

It's gonna be another good one, it seems as if they're fixing their mistakes and they're doing a fine job at it.

 

[Hard Hit Prince]

Great fucking presentation dude. You'll get reputation for me, for sure! I'll watch it the first thing in the morning (Impact isn't broadcast in here), but I am expecting a good show as far as matches go. I'll be watching closely the three confirmed bouts, more so than The Roode announcement. I expect a lot of interference in the main event and Magnus will most likely retain as this is more of a rub to Gunner than anything else, but if Magnus retains in an old dirty finish that makes him look weak for Lockdown, I'll expect Magnus to retain the title against Joe as well.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

Gunner has actually surprised me quite a bit, hopefully he has a good showing tonight.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I'm in for this. No way Gunner is winning, though.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Can't wait

 

[Cereal Killer]

I think that Storm's going to interfere and turn heel in the main event match while Roode turns face in his promo.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Someone is gonna fuck Gunner over, for sure. Either Storm goes heel or Dixieland makes a mess of the match.

My money is on the former. Would set up a match between the two for Lockdown. Unless they want to get Gunner up against someone like ECIII. But that makes less sense, since they're already teasing contention between ECIII and Dixieland/Magnus.

 

[klunderbunker]

It has to be better than last week. It has to.

 

[Cereal Killer]

Last weeks wasn't that bad. There was a lot of the authority but otherwise it was OK. But yeah, with the current line-up the show's gonna be pretty cool.

 

[Thriller Ant]

I'm in for this. No way Gunner is winning, though.

I had never heard a wrestling crowd as quiet as they were for Gunner at the house show I went to.

Wolves vs. Bad Influence should be awesome if they get the time and chance to have a good match.

 

[klunderbunker]

Last weeks wasn't that bad. There was a lot of the authority but otherwise it was OK. But yeah, with the current line-up the show's gonna be pretty cool.

That's what killed it for me. About 75% of the show was on Dixie vs. MVP, which is about 50% too much for any story.

I had never heard a wrestling crowd as quiet as they were for Gunner at the house show I went to.

Wolves vs. Bad Influence should be awesome if they get the time and chance to have a good match.

It's because he has no character. He just showed up one day and was Storm's partner without ever really doing anything. There are no roots to his character and fans don't care.

 

[Thriller Ant]

Gunner did absolutely nothing to get the crowd behind him. Roode stalled for about 5 minutes at the start of the match, but was still getting a better face reaction because Gunner did nothing to make us want to cheer him.

 

[klunderbunker]

I got to meet him at a house show last year. He was a very professional guy but seemed almost shy.

 

[Thriller Ant]

I'm not trying to bury the guy, but if he doesn't do anything to make the crowd care about him, he is going to completely bomb as a face.

 

[Lowdown]

Show looks loaded. Gonna be bouncing between this and the Heat/Thunder game.

I thought this was pretty good.

I want to love him, but he just doesn't have the personality.

 

[Thriller Ant]

I want to love him, but he just doesn't have the personality.

Agreed. If you can't get a college crowd that's been Memphis'd behind you, you have no shot at being a successful face.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

TNA! TNA! TNA!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

TNA! TNA! TNA!

 

[klunderbunker]

THis story makes sense so far and has been done well enough. I just have no interest in it at all.

 

[shattered dreams]

I'm rooting for a finger poke.

 

[klunderbunker]

Good line with the nine minutes thing.

 

[Slash-LN]

The jail stuff is kind of old already. We get it. The dude served time when he was younger. Do they have to mention it every week?
