IMPACT Wrestling LD for 06.30.11

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Here's more info on AWW

-The Taping was about 45 minutes long and only involved the team captains. It was understood that if the show is picked up there will be between 15 and 20 different guys on the roster but this was just a trial run.

-Arena had the Six Sided Ring and old TNA set with the tunnel. There was the racing theme all across the IMPACT Zone. The whole place looked alot different and a bit brighter. There were boxes with the team logos around the ring which I think will hold the teams if the season is picked up.

-Don West and Jeremy Borash were on commentary. David Penzer and Hermie Sadler were also involved. Don't know who reffed the match but a friend said they think it may have been Rudy Charles.

-The four wrestlers involved were Jay Lethal (aka RPM), Sonjay Dutt (Schwagg Dutt), Daivari (Dubai) and Aaron Aguilera. They all are captains for their teams which I believe will consist of 4 or 5 guys apiece.

-The 5 minute Iron Man Matches were called "SPEED Matches"

-The Ultimate X was called a "Big Air Challenge" and was considered by my correspondent to easily be the best match of the show.

-There weren't any motor vehicles but instead a few racing personalities as well as a racing theme during the entire show.

-The overall concept wasn't very clear, It seems like AWW will be about very fast paced matches like WSX was at one point.

Don West on commentary. Suddenly I give a shit.

 

[JGlass]

Limited commercial interruption! I chose a good week to watch some TNA!

 

[Gelgarin]

We're going to get an awful lot of plugs for five hour energy though.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Here We Go!

 

[shattered dreams]

Thanks JGKY. There is some intriguing stuff on that list.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

No problem SD

 

[ABMorales787]

Now THATS an intro vid.

 

[ABMorales787]

Afraid of the unknown? I just had a Botchamania flashback.

 

[JGlass]

Oh my, Sting is in full fledged Joker mode now with that face paint.

 

[shattered dreams]

Sick!

 

[Gelgarin]

Steiner has joined immortal? Shame, I prefer him as the insane lose cannon I can still root for.

In other news; crazy ass Sting.

 

[Y-2-Jay]

LOL Sting's a fucking nut.


I LOVE IT!!

 

[TSG]

I don't agree with having with these guys in 2011, but if they're going to give it to me, at least they're going to make it enjoyable. Hopefully, at least Sting is so far.

 

[Gore Illa]

SMH, this dude is painted as The Joker.

Now I realize why I didn't watch wrestling for a while until about 10:59 this past Monday.

 

[shattered dreams]

Is the design at the the top of the ramp different?

 

[JGlass]

You don't need to act all tough Hulk, we just saw you being a pussy bitch backstage.

Oh great, this guy.

 

[ABMorales787]

Dammit. Here I was thinking they let Immortal die off.

 

[JJYanks121]

Steiner has joined immortal? Shame, I prefer him as the insane lose cannon I can still root for.

In other news; crazy ass Sting.

And you know, he came back to destroy Immortal. He's basically only entertaining when he's saying crazy stuff backstage when it's on his own so just let him do that.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Anderson....Anderson!!!

 

[Gore Illa]

TNA should change the colors to Green, Black, and White instead of the blue. This looks like the old Smackdown setup.

 

[TSG]

I still don't like Anderson. I don't see the appeal.

 

[JGlass]

"I'm the cock of this walk."

I hate him so much.

 

[Gelgarin]

On the topic of loose cannons joining immortal. Anderson. Join already.

 

[ABMorales787]

Hulk must probably buy off the censors weekly.
