IMPACT Wrestling LD for 08.30.12 is LIVE!

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I don't think it was Garrett or Gunner. Guy looked too slim to be Gunner.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I have truly horrific facial recognition ability, but my first thought was that it was Garrett Bischoff.

The hair looked too long to be Garret though, no?

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Can anyone post a screen shot?

 

[Gelgarin]

The hair looked too long to be Garret though, no?

I don't remember what Garrett's hair looked like; see what I mean about horrible facial recognition? I definitely don't think it was Gunner; he was too slim and not nearly rugged enough.

 

[klunderbunker]

I don't mean it was Gunner. Just someone that had similar looks/features.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Man, this is killing me. I want the reveal so bad!

 

[klunderbunker]

Also no mention of the TV Title. Vacating it quietly perhaps?

 

[UnBEARaBULLfan]

He looked a bit like Gunner.

No where near as jacked as gunner, damn this has been a good Impact not alot of matches but all of them were high quality!

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

John Hennigan.

 

[Gelgarin]

Aces and Eights is unquestionably my favorite wrestling angle since... I don't know, quite some time. The heel stable is cool and intriguing. The reveal probably won't live up to people's unreasonable expectations, but the fact that we're this deep in the angle and there are still half a dozen legitimate candidates for who it could be all of whom would make sense is incredible.

If I were writing the show I'd be desperately searching for ways to create a satisfactory conclusion without ever having to unmask the group.

 

[Gelgarin]

John Hennigan.

That's actually not a terrible guess. Right build and right hair - as I recall anyway.

 

[PINFALLMagazine]

I'll take 3 quality matches, each better than the last, in 2 hours. The rest, I can take or leave.

TNA Impact Wrestling 8/30 Review

If I were writing the show I'd be desperately searching for ways to create a satisfactory conclusion without ever having to unmask the group.

I hate to draw this comparison, but it's the most compelling angle TNA's run since the "They" story a few years back.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

John Hennigan.

Hmm... build and hair certainly make sense. Now I need to fire up the DVR and go back and watch again.

1 James Storm 73 13
2 Samoa Joe 68 12
3 Bully Ray 55 12
3 Rob Van Dam 55 12
5 A.J. Styles 50 13
6 Jeff Hardy 49 12
7 Kurt Angle 48 13
8 Mr. Anderson 47 12
9 Christopher Daniels 33 13
10 Magnus 28 13
11 Robbie E 12 13
DNF D'Angelo Dinero 7 91

So.... uhm, how in the hell is Samoa Joe not already in?
If he gets DQ and loses 10 points he gets to 58. However, Hardy would only get 3 points putting Hardy at 52.

 

[Gelgarin]

This is much, much better than "They" for several reasons.

1) Jeff Hardy aside, we pretty much all figured out who "They" were very quickly.
2) A significant portion of the "They" build involved Abyss, who fucking sucks.
3) This is really, really fuckin' awesome.

 

[klunderbunker]

I'll say this about THEY. The morning of BFG, I woke up and was incredibly excited about the show that night. The only other time during the year that wrestling excites me that much is Wrestlemania.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Sorry, Tiger —*doesn't look it to me:

 

[Gelgarin]

Nicely done IDR; I like the fact that we all concluded that the guy had long hair.

 

[The Man They Call WMD]

Anyone place him?

 

[klunderbunker]

It might not need to be anyone of note. I don't think his mask was supposed to be that far down so it could be anyone.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Nicely done IDR; I like the fact that we all concluded that the guy had long hair.

HA! We got that much right. I also remembered some facial hair.

 

[Tiger Chaos Theory]

Yeah, on the quick shot live I put too much of who I wanted it to be instead of who it was in my guess.

Joe can move to first place with a victory; if Hardy wins he's automatically in and either RVD or Ray will be bumped to 5th pending their match
