IMPACT Wrestling LD for 03.07.13 is LIVE!

[Lowdown]

So...... D'Lo is the VP, huh? I think I'm officially over this whole A&8's thing man. I'm cool with D'Lo circa 1997-98, but now, I got nothing to follow this with.

Aha, here we go; the post from a couple months ago

Somebody help me understand this. What the hell is this leading up to? Seriously, I need to know, because all these months and it appears to be a dead end.

That's been the question for months. one of the many problems with the angle is we have NO IDEA why this is happening. They started by targeting Sting, then they targeted Hogan, then they targeted everyone and got on the roster and now they're just there. They have no leader, almost no members that people care about, and no clear goals. Yet people still defend them because.....I have no idea.

Well I give up at this point. It was interesting for a while, but I'm vexed by these decisions and supposed "twists". Look I know D'Lo is my avatar, I stick by that, but he hasn't wrestled in how many years? Same with Taz. I'm can't defend this anymore; it can't be saved. I'm convinced. But yeah I'll keep watching TNA for what's left of its good points. Namely guys like Magnus and Joe.

In 7 days it'll be 9 months since Aces and 8's debuted and we're still at this point.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Just for the record I don't like Dlo as VP

I think it's safe to say that you're in the majority. Add me to this group as well.

 

[Con T.]

I'm actually more up in arms over the whole Lady Tapas deal.

Here me out; TNA, at least historically, has been the company more likely to give its fans what it wants. Sometimes it hasn't been the best decision, but it shows that TNA really does listen to their fans, and their input, something I can't always say for WWE.

This whole thing reeked of, "don't like it? Well, fuck you." And that isn't TNA's MO, at all

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

I see Velez turning into the female Joey Ryan so to speak

 

[Lowdown]

I see Velez turning into the female Joey Ryan so to speek

How so?

 

[Con T.]

I see Velez turning into the female Joey Ryan so to speek

I wouldn't mind this. But three things;

1. It takes someone unlikeable to pull that off; people will like her.

2. She's really pretty, which means she's probably going to garner sympathy

3. (And most importantly) the fans think she got legitimately screwed on this one, so if they want her back as a heel, that will be no buys

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

How so?

That she "didn't receive a contract but we'll see more of her then Tapa

It doesn't have to be just like Joey Ryan's case

Also she could try and play a ruthless badass due to her MMA background

 

[Con T.]

Remember what losing in 18 seconds did for Daniel Bryan, and how over he got because fans assumed management was screwing him?

Unless you want to bring Ivelisse back as a babyface, you'll get that all over again?

 

[Nate DaMac]

Hold up, D-Lo? Seriously? I thought you guys were joking.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

I don't know how it will play out but I think we'll deifnitly see more of her

 

[Con T.]

And by the way; why wasn't Brooke Hogan one of the judges? Isn't she head of the knockouts? Shouldn't she get a say who is in her division?

 

[Nate DaMac]

Well the D-Lo reveal has convinced me to actually watch Impact tonight rather than deleting it over the weekend.

When did Aries win the Tag Titles? Better yet, who'd they take the titles from?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Him and Roode beat Lax 3.0 in Manchester

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

And by the way; why wasn't Brooke Hogan one of the judges? Isn't she head of the knockouts? Shouldn't she get a say who is in her division?

Maybe since she's technically not a KO or that Brooke isnt involved in Talent management

[Nate DaMac]

I don't know, part of me finds this shit even more interesting now. Just build up a stable of the most obscure former stars from decades past.

Just get Glacier or Alex Wright as the leader and we're all set.

 

[Nate DaMac]

So is Tazz like, heel now?

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Yea
