TNA iMPACT! LD for 05.12.11

[JJYanks121]

Gotta be Bully Ray or Anderson winning this. A hell has got to win this. Why would you have another face/face match at the next PPV?

Um, Anderson is the "most popular" face on the roster. We all think he blows, but that doesn't actually make him a heel. The company wants him to be their Austin, their badass face.....

Eh, I don't really consider him a face at all. Tweener at best. Even if he was, though, he still adds more of a heel element to the winner of RVD/Sting than a guy like Angle, AJ, etc.

No reason to have a clear-cut face win this thing.

 

[JGlass]

Let's go AJ. I have a bad feeling Dreamer will win though.

"We did not have an elimination during the break"

Yeah, because there was no break. It was literally just a cut. EVERYBODY was in the same position they were in when we went to commercial. Did anybody else notice this?

 

[klunderbunker]

Bully Ray and Tommy Dreamer are in the final six in this battle royal and that's almost logical in this company. Not sure what that says.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

NO WAY did Tommy Dreamer just put AJ freaking Styles out!

 

[JGlass]

Well... let's go Angle.

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

Tommy Dreamer effortlessly eliminates AJ Styles. Then fucking DREAMER eliminated by Bully Ray.

This is why I don't watch TNA.

That's common on Smackdown and all taped shows.

You make a decent point, but he's supposed to be their Austin. Even though he was different than Hogan and Hart before him, Austin was the ultimate babyface. Anderson has been booked and has performed extremely poorly so he comes off as a crybaby tweener, but he's supposed to be Austin. He's supposed to be the babyface everyone gets behind. It's just not there though. Quite honestly, I'd prefer anyone but him to win as you've had the same 3 guys going for the title for months.

Karen involved — cue Chyna!

 

[JGlass]

They did the Miz vs. John Cena Royal Rumble spot twice during this match.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Anderson/Ray — I knew it. Gotta be a heel-type to win. Place your bets!

 

[HUKSTER]

Asshole vs Bully

 

[Serious Mozzarella]

Well alright. I'm okay with this.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Anderson just pulled a Benoit from the 04 Rumble.

 

[JGlass]

I fucking hate this guy.

 

[Kenny Powers]

"Were" Ken

 

[Nate DaMac]

Christ that was an absolutely horrid promo.

 

[klunderbunker]

Review is up.

Isn't There a PPV Sunday?

 

[JJYanks121]

Still don't like Anderson. But there was someone I did like tonight. My usual Impact piece can be found here:

IMPACT Player of the Week

 

[Nate DaMac]

Yeah. I should've went to bed. Nothing special at all.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

not bad, not bad

 

[klunderbunker]

Agreed. Came off pretty well all things considered.

TNA's website has been redesigned and it says Impact Wrestling on Spike but still lists TNA. I think that sums up the answers.
