Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Is this the first time an actual promotion has turned heel? There are many times a promotion became a comedy act (WCW, TNA), but I can't think of a whole promotion going heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovert Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Remember these tapings were originally intended to impress SPIKE brass to renewing IMPACT. Is this the first time an actual promotion has turned heel? "Ladies and Gentlemen, Lisa Simpson, Art Garfunkel, John Oates and Jim Messina with their song, the second best!"

Nothing will impress Spike like a quarter-full arena chanting "Fuck TNA". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cool arrow Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm trying to figure out the cadence: will it be "FUCK-t-N-a clap clap clapclapclap?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I'm trying to figure out the cadence: will it be "FUCK-t-N-a clap clap clapclapclap?" I imagine "FUCK YOU, T-N-A!" ("TNA SUCKS!") duelling chants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEN! Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Wow, the monkey that operates the leavers in Dixie's head has really outdone itself this time. Bully Ray seems like more of an ape than a monkey. They're taping something like 8 weeks of TV over the next 3. Two from Pennsylvania and six from New York. So for the Summer months when they could probably get decent crowds on the road, they're going to have TV in the can from a small overpriced venue in NYC where the people will probably be chanting "Shut the fuck up", "Fuck TNA", and "E-C-Dub" throughout. Spike's sure to be impressed. Also, their big payoff of Bully finally putting Dixie through a table on a network that has historically barred them from doing any man on woman violence will surely get Spike to expedite that TV contract renewal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Hattrick Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 They could hire cheerleaders. "Gimme an F..." "Wait who's Tina?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadianChris Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Clearly, the payoff for Bully/Dixie is going to be Brooke putting Dixie through a table, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEN! Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Tess Macher and Robbie E are doing The Amazing Race. I don't think she'll be around for any of the tapings. Not really much of a payoff to have her do it anyway since she doesn't have anything to do with the feud. Now if Brooke Hogan returned and put Bully through a table that would be a swerve that'd make a lot of sense and would also be hilarious. But I guess you'd be back to the problem of the big babyface's key focus being wanting to assault yet another woman. Serge and his ugly-ass thrift store shirts getting put through a table in NYC might be acceptable. Only if he ends up in a wheelchair for a couple of weeks afterward with Spud accidentally pushing him into things though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I voted for six, although I fully recognize that TNA changing the shape of their ring is kind of like putting a hat on a horse, and a lame horse at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Six sides, because why not. When TNA was decent back in the day they had the six sided ring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StretchMediatedHypertrophy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
