  1. Yeah that's not going on air. Re: the pure unadulterated joy, I remember back when CM Punk put Christoper Daniels through the table with the Pepsi Plunge. The joy on his face, along with the reaction of the other SCS members, was what really put it over. This reminded me of that, though Dixie didn't take anything there really.
  2. I do wonder this sometimes. I know genetics plays a part, but c'mon dudes.
  3. Agreed. It's one thing if you're dressed up like some weird shaman or crazy old Aikido guy, but that hamandegger?
  4. Apparently the weight limit was scrapped again when they got rid of the Triple Threat Title matches. I think 'throwaway' match is unfair; it makes sense for someone to fail at the cash-in, Aries is a good choice - and for TNA to choose not to end the show with the heel going over. That's surely page 4 of 'How to Book Wrestling'? It's nothing WWE wouldn't do. There's plenty to rag on TNA for but there's nothing wrong with any of this. Noone knows exactly how they will sequence it for TV anyway.
  5. Aha yes, this became a thing in the UK very recently: I really try hard not to buy it, but it is the shit - no two ways.
  6. Shout to the #1 Ice Cream Parlour in Londontown - http://www.chinchinlabs.com/ . They use the liquid nitrogen method for the smoothest texture. They did Tobacco flavour once. I'm really digging cashew and almond butter, more expensive than peanut butter but it's nice to change up.
  7. My understanding was the fight was about unwashed protein shakers - and they are the worst.
  8. Wasn't expecting it, but I've found myself digging the last couple of Little Miz tunes......
  9. Can I ask what was so annoying about it? Naomi has great cardio. She is a trained dancer, afterall. Selling.
  10. Judging from his Twitter, I think BNB'll move heaven and earth not to miss much time. He's got a gimmick which means he can troll people for weeks without actually wrestling anyway.
  11. Just because. Pop historians note that this is when Victoria Beckham dropped the no-smiling gimmick.
  12. Seth hasn't joined Evolution - he'd have come out to their music at least once.
  13. It's a silly spot - but it's Magnus' job to sell the dropkick.
  14. The title switch is logical I guess (least if you hadn't just had Young go over a bunch of guys), but where does Young really go from here? Building to Roode makes some sense, but he's not *that* over and I think he needs the belt less than Young does.
  15. Although it's not good for England, if Italy thump Costa Rica then they still have a good fighting chance of nicking 2nd place. We'll know a lot more after that game. (I don't consider myself English and didn't watch the game)
  16. I've long been an advocate of a one-sided ring myself. What about an infinity sided ring?
  17. Ideally it should be much more than "a bit," but that ship sailed long ago. No argument from me there. I'd like to see the ReACTION style promos back - and more time in Texas. With apologies to Daniel Bryan, it's kinda funny that Eric Young as champ works much better without DB around.
  18. I voted for six as well, if only so Lashley can steal the POUNCE! The 6 side ring really worked in combination with the 'Fox Box' presentation of the early IMPACTs. I'd like to see them junk Tazz/Tenay and go back to something like that. I know Austin will not like it, but I think a bit of differentiation from WWE is a good thing.
  19. They can junk MVP-Young by all means, but that implies another mini-reset.....what's one more I suppose? I'd probably run MVP-Angle at BFG if anything, have Storm win the BFG series.
  20. Pretty fun PPV. TNA belong in Texas, in a nice way. The MVP injury is potentially troublesome, as it's tough for them to build to EY vs MVP at BFG for the title as usually the challenger would come from the BFG Series but a lot of that will be taped shortly. Maybe they'll junk the series, but that would be a pity.
  21. You're sleeping on Jerry mistaking Lenin for Dory Funk. Glorious.
  22. *shrug* okay, but that's not exactly the completely opposite view you initially claimed to hold. I didn't say the show wasn't entertaining, so....whatevs.
