Spritenaut 32 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hopefully, Christopher Daniels told Storm about his time in WCW and Storm doesn't let Dixie convince him to dye his hair. For those who haven't heard the story, WCW had Daniels dye his hair in preparation for his stint as Vampiro's "higher power". The storyline got dropped and Daniels didn't appear in the role except in a segment with Vampiro where he was hidden in shadow. Daniels hair then fell out - he says - as a result of the dye (it was thinning anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 He could call them the Hyatt family. Not for any reason, mind you ... Missy Hyatt will manage them, just so we aren't suspicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Manik is kinam spelled backwards. And if you can convince him to say his name backwards, he goes back to the 5th dimension and you win the X division championship (whether he's champion or not, because TNA).

MGFanJay Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The opening Joe-MVP crew yelling thing was okay, I guess. Loved the Gail-Taryn video setting up their title match as something special. Gail-Taryn was pretty fantastic. The neckbreaker on the steps spot was sick, and I loved that after carnage, it was a basic counter that won the day. You also can't go wrong with a match where the camera spends so much time zoomed in on Gail's ass. Havok's debut went perfectly - outside of the heat machine. She's instantly made as the top female heel and came off like a killer. EC3 once again stole the show with his mic work. Loved him doing his usual bit with the you can't wrestle chants, and then turning the CM Punk chants against the crowd by saying he'd love to kick his ass too. The Gunner/Shaw tag was nothing special, but I liked them setting up something with Brittany since she'd make a good crazy girlfriend for Shaw. Roode and EY had their best match to date in the company. This was well worth going out of your way to see - it was exactly what a number 1 contender's match should be, and the post-match stuff with Roode wanting water and Lashley just staring through him made the title seem like the top thing in the company. X Title number 1 contender was hurt a lot by the commentary, but I'm glad 'Cide won. He and Joe can finally have the great match they teased at the end of the match Joe won the title in. I like the superkick now being a tribute to Storm, but could do without Storm adding more guys to his knockoff Wyatt Family. I wouldn't mind Manik getting some new gear though, as this getup just being Suicide without the text never really worked. Aries and Tajiri as allies against Storm and The Great Sanada was a bit random. Aries and his new greying beard need some work, and Tajiri needs to regrow the beard ASAP. It was seemingly a source of his charisma or something, because he just didn't look like himself at all here - and the aging body didn't help matters. Loved the ED3/Spud skit with the exit sign - Spud's going to be a great babyface one day. Joe-Lashley was pretty good-ish, but not exciting. LOLed hard at Tenay pimping Lashley on Bellator while he had a Vulcan nerve pinch on. Kenny King GETTING IN THE RING was not a DQ, but led to Joe having a valid reason to lose. The show closed with clips of the tables match and Melendez's debut, and this was one of the better NYC taping shows. The pace was perfect and the match quality impressed me - although Gail-Taryn really should've been hyped up last week. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2014/09/tna-impact-9-3-14.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/84bh97f0j2zxdllvph35wke9vrwze9in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dewar Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The Rude Awakening on the steps was SICK. Thumbs down to the crowd for not losing their shit when Tajiri came out. He should have hit someone with some green mist though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamal Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Another good week for the Knockouts. Gail/Taryn was great and loved Havok wrecking shit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted September 5, 2014 Author Share Posted September 5, 2014 Loved Gail/Taryn, they are always great together. Their matches last year were my favorite stuff of the year. Havok looked pretty good in debut and I think her against Gail and Taryn could be really good. Enjoyed Joe/Lashley and Roode/Young as well. BroMans skits were entertaining. Looking forward to the tag series continuing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamal Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Where's Havok from? Is she any good? WSU, SHIMMER, SHINE. I think she's pretty good and should fit in well with The Knockouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
