IMPACT Wrestling LD for 07.14.11

[It's Damn Real!]

What would you suggest? Shaving his head? Making him grow dreads? Tribal tattoos out the wazoo a la Umaga?

That tribal tattoo and shaved head was the best looking Samoa Joe we've seen in years. Could have done without those ridiculous pants they made him wear, but otherwise he was fine.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

RHOODE!!!

Good Match

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Knew it. Joe loses, again. I'm tellin' you — repackage coming via major, major frustration, same as what happened with him just before the Nation of Violence.

 

[JGlass]

When was the last time Hebner refereed a match that didn't end controversially? Seriously.

And poor Joe is getting booked in a unlucky loser gimmick.

 

[DJZ888]

Pretty good match there. Glad Roode won.

 

[TSG]

Good match. I liked it, and I'm like Roode winning.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Double J!!!

Poor Joe? Being booked as a loser tends to transition into repackage and being booked as a winner when it's happening the way it is to Joe right now. He needs it, too. Best thing that could happen to him right now.

 

[klunderbunker]

So basically Angle sent the Jarretts on summer vacation?

 

[JGlass]

The Jarretts are back! And more importantly, Karen's rack is back! I know my boy IDR can appreciate that just as much as I do.

 

[shattered dreams]

Liked the finish. I hope they do a pretty significant repackage with Joe. He still has talent but it needs to be freshened up.

 

[Y-2-Jay]

Yeah good match and some good story progression there as well. Can't wait for Joe to go crazy and hopefully get a good push.

 

[JJYanks121]

About time Roode got a win, though I'd like to see him show more emotion during his matches. He gets so workman-like that I often feel his matches end up emotionless as a result. Small criticism as I like him a lot, but if he can inject that life in there, he'd be probably one of the premier workers in TNA.

 

[Nate DaMac]

I'll bite this week. Nothing else worth watching.

Rack=good. Face=in need of one of Cody Rhodes' bags.

I was talking in the realm of kayfabe. I like to pretend it's real from time to time.

Hell yes! That woman would have drained my wallet dry had she been stripping in a club near me before Angle found her.

 

[TSG]

Yay, Immortal for the second time in thirty minutes...

 

[JGlass]

You know the best way to make sure you don't have crimes traced back to you? Don't provide video footage of you scheming to commit said crime.

 

[Nate DaMac]

For some reason, seeing Bubba in that tux reminds me of the stuttering gimmick. Give him some lens-less glasses.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Steiner all dressed up in a suit doesn't work for me.

 

[shattered dreams]

Roode appears to be the total package but he lacks the "it" factor for me. I am not sure if I see him as someone you can make a main eventer without going through the neverending Orton process. Lots of talent, don't get me wrong. Just not an instant superstar.

 

[JGlass]

Rack=good. Face=in need of one of Cody Rhodes' bags.

 

[TSG]

Yeah, because this is worth wasting time on.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Jarrett is El Champ de MEXICO!!!!!!
