TNA iMPACT! & ReAction LD for 11.18.10

[shattered dreams]

If the best moment is a woman that cannot even stand up well saying non-pg comments how is that a good thing? Piper's promo was good but the rest of the segment did nothing for me. I liked the sexual chocolate theme and then I saw henry "wrestle" horribly. Cheap nostalgia pops followed by the usual crap like IDR said.

A-piss! LMAO!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Sweet! AJ/Williams. Confirmed!

WWE is more about the T&A, where as TNA is more about the athleticism, even if some of the girls aren't that athletic. But the TNA side tends to send the girls into more heavy and hardcore matches. I miss that on WWE side. But the only thing I find un-appealing on both sides is that both companies sometimes tend to drop the ball and run with a girl's story for a week and forget it, or they will blatantly 'bite' another one's gimmick...ahem...Lay-Cool ripping off The Beautiful People.

Or how Tara is now a cougar like, I don't know, VICKIE GUERRERO. Both companies blatantly use other ideas. We know this and we need to accept it. Shit happens.

What I'm saying though is that quite honestly, female hardcore matches just like male hardcore matches suck. They show nothing in terms of skill and are basically punching and kicking and throwing people into stuff. You can only do that so often. What you can do though is showcase people with athletic ability. Unfortunately for WWE, Eve took a backseat already when she is an incredibly athletic specimen that is doing stuff that Lita dreamed of doing. Yea, I said it. Eve has taken it to the next level, but because she's not the first to be a female high flyer, no one seems to care. Bad timing I guess. I think if you got Eve in 2003, she would have been a HUGE star.

The companies borrowing from each other is A-OK with me. That's something WCW and WWF did for years. Nothing wrong with it. It works. There's a lot of cross-over fans in wrestling, so having the pseudo references is fun and light hearted jabbing at the competition.

 

[shattered dreams]

No problem with stealing but I think it is dumb when people say laycool is better than TBP. McCool sucks at that gimmick, am I the only one that sees this? Plus, it suffers from pgification. I think an edgier cougar gimmick has a lot more potential than what they had vickie doing.

 

[shattered dreams]

The way they filmed this is aweome. Like a comic book come to life almost.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

From what I saw of them, LayCool were just annoying to me. That's what I didn't like about them, not that they were an obvious BP rip-off.

I hate the Brit's voice, and the other is really no better.

Yup. The camera has a short depth-of-field. Makes for awesome, really movie-like shooting.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Someone really needs to buy Gen Me some fuckin' boots. Seeing them come out in friggin' sneakers every week is ridiculous. LOL.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Thus Guns Gen Me Thing Is FUCKING AWESOME

 

[LitasRevenge79]

Yeah...what they need to do most of all is just try to elevate the women. Give them a little more credit. Make sure they find the girls that are actual athletes and NOT models trying to be athletes. I'm not wanting to have the attitude era redux. Even if they were to throw in some more matches for women like a hardcore or even falls count anywhere or something thrown in. Start something small, and the creative might be suprised with the reaction they get.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

iMPACT! Zone looks really cool empty with the lights dim like this.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

Didn't bother watching it. I turned it off just after his promo started, actually.

Not surprised.

better than being barefoot..lol

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Am I crazy, or do the Guns not even have a name for their finisher?

Just give the good ones time to work in a non gimmick match. The simpler the better. I'd say the same thing for both companies. If you put two women who can work out there, you might be surprised with what you get. It might bury other women, but take a couple that are solid, build one solid story, and give us a 15-20 minute payoff match. Simple and effective. I guarantee you that even people who don't care for women's wrestling would find that this could be at least fun to watch. Hell, I'd rather watch a women's match than an Abyss match......

 

[The Holy One]

I think it's called Skull and Bones.

 

[Monkey_Mania]

The end of that brawl was fucking powerful.

 

[Joe's Gonna Kill You]

Its Called Skull&Bones

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I think it's called Skull and Bones.

Ah, that's right. Should have known that. Brain fart.

 

[The Holy One]

Ah, that's right. Should have known that. Brain fart.

Eh, it happens.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Please don't bring the Turkey Suit next week... please?

 

[The Holy One]

Did they even have the Turkey Bowl last year?

 

[shattered dreams]

Second half of reaction was fantastic.
