TNA iMPACT! & ReAction LD for 08/26/10

[It's Damn Real!]

Lemme rephrase that, KB – it's not boring, but it's boring in terms of story. There's gotta be something there by way of feuds for me to really care.

Gen Me can put on entertaining matches that ROH-style fans would adore, but in terms of putting on great television matches in sequence with a feud? Not so much.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Cool – just shoot me a PM or whatever and lemme know once you figure it out.

if you dont hear from me by wednsday, remind me. I dont have all my dogs in the kennel barking these days, y'know

That was a great TV match. It was designed to pump some blood into the show and it did just that. The fans got into it after being comatose for the majority of the show so far. There doesn't need to be a story for stuff like this. It's what WCW did with the Cruiserweights and what WWF did with the Hardys, E and C and the Dudleys. It's mindless fun and it hardly ever fails.

Oh, absolutely, but again, that doesn't require that Gen Me get some kind of big push or be featured on a weekly basis, either. That's all I'm saying, that Gen Me themselves aren't entertaining enough as a wrestling tag-team to warrant that kind of TV time. They're great for energy matches like this, though – that match was fantastic.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

HOGAN!!!


OH DAMN!!! HE SAID IT LOLOLOLOLOLOOL

 

[Mighty NorCal]

THAT SEGMENT WAS SO FUCKING AWWWWSSOOOOOMMMEEEE HAHAHAHAHA

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Becky Bayless vignette? LOL.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I've said it before and I'll say it again – I don't care if Sting is 198 years old, he's entertaining as fuck. Until one of the "young guys" can be as entertaining as him or Nash, they can fuck off.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Why in the fucking WORLD is Tom Dreamer on two fucking PPVs in a row TNA

 

[klunderbunker]

Whoa whoa whoa. STEVIE RICHARDS can give Abyss a beating but RVD, Hogan, Hardy and Anderson couldn't hurt him for awhile?

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

Who the fuck is that?

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

No way.....

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Kill him, Abyss!

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

Richards is in TNA? He's like 1,000,000 years old.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

LOL. How many times does Abyss have to break Janice before he realizes he shouldn't hit hard objects with it?

 

[klunderbunker]

Odd but true: back in 2004, Abyss was the tag partner of one Alex Shelley.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

is this still going?

 

[Rhonda Rousey's Sports Bra]

Squel like a pig boy! Suuuuiiiiiieeeee!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Odd but true: back in 2004, Abyss was the tag partner of one Alex Shelley.

Odder yet, Abyss at one time used to weight about 100 pounds less than he does now and looked much more dominant.

Even odder: Richards still has a job.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Oh, great googa mooga. This WAS a pretty good episode.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Kill Rhino too, Abyss!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I never understood why TNA doesn't fill out more of the iMPACT! Zone's empty areas – fire-safety?

 

[klunderbunker]

Another Russo trademark: mindless brawling replacing actual wrestling.
