IMPACT Wrestling LD for 11.05.14 — Roode/Lashley Face-to-Face; Tag Tourney Final!

[It's Damn Real!]

Live Discussion for November 5th, 2014

—————

History was made last Wednesday on IMPACT as a new World Heavyweight Champion was
crowned. Bobby Roode did what many called impossible as he pinned "The Destroyer"
Lashley to become the TNA World Heavyweight Champion for a second time. Now seven
days later, the world will hear from the new World Heavyweight Champion when he
speaks out.

Lashley and his camp have been surprisingly quiet but informed us they will break
that silence this week on IMPACT. What will be the fallout from this historic moment?

Tune in tonight to find out.

—————

Eight teams started and now only two remain. The finals are set in the Tag Team
Tournament to determine the new #1 Contenders for the TNA World Tag Team Titles.
Will the Hardys prevail and come out on top or will it be the unlikely but
dominant duo of Samoa Joe and Low Ki? Tonight, these two teams clash and only
one will move on to a future title match against The Wolves.

—————

The TNA Knockouts Title will be on the line as well. The undefeated champion HAVOK
defends the gold against former 4x champion Gail Kim. Gail was injured in their
first meeting but the former champion's intestinal fortitude and never-give-up
attitude has brought her back for revenge. Gail has promised to take the fight
to HAVOK in a way nobody else has.

Don’t miss this Knockouts Title match tonight on Spike.

—————

Also on the broadcast:

A war of words has turned into a huge hardcore battle tonight on IMPACT. The
self-proclaimed "New King of Hardcore" Bram teams up with Magnus to take on Devon
and Tommy Dreamer in a match where weapons are not only legal, but encouraged.

Hardcore rules!

All this and so much more on Thursday’s must-see IMPACT broadcast on
Spike TV at 9/8c, from Bethlehem, Pennsylvania!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

No-go for me on a live viewing. Rangers/Red Wings at 8PM. I'll be on delay.

 

[Lowdown]

I'll probably set the DVR. Got the Magic game at 7 and I'll check out the Warriors/Clippers at 10:30. But I might switch in between.

 

[Chrome]

No one here??

 

[klunderbunker]

With the show possibly being done in two weeks, it's kind of hard to make myself care.

- Regarding Spike TV scheduling a movie in the TNA Impact Wrestling time slot on November 26th, it's being reported that this is only a one-night deal and that Spike will continue airing Impact in December.

Spike has also said they haven't decided if Impact will air on December 24th or December 31st, which would be Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve. A Spike TV official said the November 26th change was made because it's the night before Thanksgiving, which is usually a weak night for TV.

Regardless of Spike airing Impact or not, the final show that they have taped is November 19th. They have no new events scheduled yet for there are un-announced plans for future tapings but those tapings haven't been confirmed.

So a little more than 2 weeks... but I'm wondering when this new TV deal is supposed to be announced??

 

[Chrome]

Pair Gunner with Bram they would look like a good tag team

 

[klunderbunker]

I'll believe them when I see them.

 

[klunderbunker]

And that my friends is a great example of why TNA is in the spot it's in: people like Tommy Dreamer are brought in for a nostalgia moment but turns into a semi-regular performer who is pinning a guy who was World Champion earlier this year.

 

[klunderbunker]

Unless there's a quick one here, we're looking at a three match show.

Fuck Tommy Dreamer, I have never been more sick & tired of a fucking wrestler in my life.

I used to like the guy but he's just annoying by now. THe best part: soon he's going to be joined by another hardcore "legend".

Same, he's gotten to the point where if he's on TV I just change the channel, if he's a guest on one the 4 or 5 wrestling podcast I listen to , I just skip it. He just comes out & gives us the same stupid boring shit every time, I don't want to see or hear from him ever again, I just want him to go back to HoH where I can ignore him & forget about his fucking existence.

 

[klunderbunker]

Review is up.

Well That Happened

I almost laughed out loud when he told Austin that House of Hardcore isn't about ECW.

Has he looked at his roster?!

It's basically an ECW HOF

 

[klunderbunker]

Well, you see, it's about working hard. That's what they mean by "house of hardcore", not naming it after the ECW wrestling school.

LOL, their next show is being held at "The former ECW Arena".

 

[klunderbunker]

Yeah I don't think too highly of Dreamer. When he basically said he's cheated on his wife numerous times over the years and she knows she'll always be secondary to wrestling, I lost a good bit of the little respect I had for him left.

 

[Papa Pillman]

Criticize if you want, but this is just flat out wrong.


The card the last time they held a show in Philly(home of "ECW"):
Doring vs. Guido
Delishus and Team Tremendous vs. Gangrel, Cerebus, and Fungus
Gulak vs. Ben Ortiz vs. Lance Anoai
Pearce vs. Hero
Kingston and Homicide vs. CW Anderson and D-Von
Abyss vs. Dreamer
Nese and Petey vs. Daniels and Kaz
Styles vs. Steen

The next Philly show card:

The Hardys vs. The Young Bucks
ECIII vs. Dreamer
Aries vs. Galloway
The Wolves vs. Killer Elite Squad
Christian York vs. Brian Myers
Kingston vs. Jigsaw
Plus Gail, Velvet, and Thea Trinidad announced.

That's over 40 different talents on those two shows, and like six of them worked for the original ECW. And many of those guys are in the top tier of North American talent not working for the WWE.

HOH isn't some pathetic cash grab, glorified ECW reunion tour, like Shane Douglas attempted to run with Extreme Rising, where he trotted out the corpses of every former ECW guy he could dig up and drag down an aisle way. It has quickly became a legit high level indy promotion.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

What the fuck are they doing with the Wolves? Why would Davey be doubting things after they beat two of the best tag teams in history in two straight matches?

I tuned out after the Shaw/Brittany segment. Really hard to care about anything that's happening, it's kinda sad.
