MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 This wasn't a bad show, but hour 1 dragged on. Sabin-Manik was pretty nothing. Aries-AJ was an outstanding match that was well-worth watching again...outside of the finish. Tito as #august1 is wacky. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/08/tna-impact-8-1-13.html Screens - OH GOD, THEY'RE STARING INTO MY SOUL! http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/xbfkzrs74msz7gx1hyt322ma3mi37kp5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cool arrow Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 So TNA expects TNA fans, most of whom don't even buy TNA PPV's, to pay for a Bellator PPV? Seems legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Sabin is awful. AJ-Aries was fucking amazing even though that finish was the shits. Tito being the surprise is the most TNA-esque TNA moment in a long time. It's awesome though that somehow Inoki got the book in the company. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Anderson's look of sheer panic at the thought of someone horning in on his "most useless has-been in TNA" title was amazing. Hey Buddy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 My dream angle that Rampage will lead a stable of washed up MMA fighters to end Aces and Eights and then MEM must find a way to stop their out of control MMA army comes one step closer.

Rev Ray Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 AJ/Aries was fun, but I would rethink taking suicide dives into stairs. Man, the repackage of AJ Styles is baffling. It seemed like "ooooh, we're gonna make him this gritty loner biker", but then he has the Bieber hair and the Goth Dean Venture whiny promos, it's weird. "GET OUT OF MY ROOM MOM!

Sabin's trunks are better at functioning as wrestling gear than Sabin is at functioning as a pro wrestler. The pitter patter of his little chops on Bully Ray were something to see though.

MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Maybe they can have Babalu come out of retirement to face Angle. Or they'll just spend six figures to bring in Bob Sapp to win the X Title. Or TV Title since it just disappears for eons anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's certainly true that Sabin's looked... shall we say, uninspired since his return. But I reserve awful for the likes of Great Khali and David Otunga.

MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Good lord is it weird seeing a pro wrestling show to hype up a real-life fight in Bellator announced on a show where Wheelock said that most of the time in MMA, guys don't actually hate each other.

Overly Critical Man Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 A stable of Tito, Rampage, Bob Sapp, and Chuck Liddell being douchebags and wearing Ed Hardy shirts while ground and pounding the X-division would probably get me to buy at least one ppv, not gonna lie. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 Scott Steiner should be their ring announcer, and by God, we need at least one appearance of 3 Count and Tank Abbott. Maybe he can fight Knux and threaten to cut his fucking throat before stealing his vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I feel like we get some stupid angle where Ortiz takes out Rampage backstage so he doesn't have to actually wrestle and help give the A&8s heat in their match. Maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I hope whatever the endgame is, it involves Kurt Angle making all the MMA guys tapout to the Ankle lock after taking a moonsault. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
