BrianS81177 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 So all of these "Best Of" specials that they're running leading up to the live show... not one of them has either of the two guys who will be fighting in the main event over the company's most important title?

The Nature Boy Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 One of them features a guy who will likely be competing in a marquee match at WrestleMania! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Typical WWE, taking TNA rejects and pushing them to the Moon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nofuture Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Give credit to the WWE, their revisionist history at least usually favors the current regime/people still with the company. TNA has not learned this lesson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nature Boy Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 TNA's revisionist history favors whatever former WWE flavor of the month they have on their roster. I learned this in the mid 2000s when AJ Styles went from company ace to comedy relief sidekick to Kurt Angle and Christian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 One of my favorite TNA things is that AJ Styles was a young up and comer from the day he started with the company to the day he left it, despite being their world champion 5 times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all of my criticisms of the best of shows (although granted, I didn't see the last two), I never once thought about that and it's a valid point. One of my favorite TNA things is that AJ Styles was a young up and comer from the day he started with the company to the day he left it, despite being their world champion 5 times. And then married as a father of a slew of kids with their birthdays tattooed on his side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNA's booking of AJ Styles is probably one of the weirdest and stupidest things in the history of pro wrestling. But since it's TNA, it just gets lost in the shuffle with the other stupid things they do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobholly138 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I wish I had saved more of my tapes of the block of wrestling back then. I remember a short lived tv show from when Tiny Frazier was trying to reopen Gulf Coast Championship Wrestling. Mike Boyette and Frazier were the only names. I was going to make a joke about Mike Boyette not being a name but then it occurred to me that I've actually heard of him, which is more than can be said for Tiny Frazier. Tiny is better known as Uncle Elmer or Plowboy Frazier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roode is featured well in the best 20 TNA moments in history countdown. Both of Roode's title wins and his title loss are in there: 20) Samoa Joe defeated Kurt Angle to win the TNA World Title at Lockdown 2008. 19) Austin Aries defeated Bobby Roode to win the TNA World Title at Destination X 2012. 18) Motor City Machine Guns defeated Beer Money to win the Tag Titles at Victory Road 2010. 17) Jay Lethal and Ric Flair had a hilarious "woo off" promo on Impact in June 2010. 16) Amazing Red won an Ultimate X match to retain the X Division Title at Bound For Glory 2009. 15) Bully Ray [Aces & Eights] defeated Jeff Hardy to win the TNA World Title at Lockdown 2013. 14) Gail Kim won a Gauntlet Battle Royal to win the Knockouts Title at Bound For Glory 2007. 13) Jeff and Karen Jarrett renewed their wedding vows on Impact in March 2011. 12) Bobby Roode defeated Lashley to win the TNA World Title on Impact in October 2014. 11) Sting defeated Hulk Hogan in a street fight for control of TNA at Bound For Glory 2011. 10) Sting and Kurt Angle had the first ever TNA Empty Arena match on Impact in February 2009. 9) The Wolves defeated The Hardys & Team 3D in Full Metal Mayhem on Impact in October 2014. 8) Taryn Terrell defeated Gail Kim in a Last Knockout Standing match at Slammiversary 2013. 7) Hulk Hogan signed with TNA and made his long-awaited Impact debut in January 2010. 6) Magnus defeated AJ Styles for the undisputed TNA World Title on Impact in January 2014. 5) Aces & Eights crashed the wedding of Bully Ray & Brooke Hogan on Impact in January 2013. 4) Bobby Roode defeated James Storm to win the TNA World Title on Impact in November 2011. 3) AJ Styles defeated Christopher Daniels & Samoa Joe to win the X Division Title at Unbreakable 2005. 2) Jeff Hardy joined forces with Immortal and won the TNA World Title at Bound For Glory 2010. 1) Bully Ray powerbombed Dixie Carter through a table on Impact in August 2014. #ItHappened Overall it's quite a crappy selection though. And it's clearly meant to put the spotlight on the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What else does Dixie have to do during business meetings besides sit in a corner with a coloring book while the grown-ups talk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
