BEN! Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 They wanted to put the NWA Title on Raven but he refused to sign a contract cause that's so Raven. Doesn't excuse Jarrett beating an army with his hands tied behind his back though. TNA's "WrestleMania" is next week, everybody. Reducing their live PPV schedule to two a year has worked out real well cause they've taken the time to build each one up proper...oh, wait that's not what's happened at all. No TV tapings scheduled for immediately after BFG. They've probably got enough random unseen matches along with BFG highlights and B-roll footage to splice together something good enough for a few weeks. They should really change a title on one of their house shows and build an Impact around showing highlights and interviews based on that. I expect them to go back to the Manhattan Center in November to tape enough TV to get them through January cause just flushing the money down the toilet would be too easy for TNA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Maybe they will just keep re-running COuntdown to Glory every week Like IWCCW used to run that one Tony Rumble match for like 6 months straight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Jarrett was booked as a dragon slayer (I think that was an old Jerry Jarrett thing. Have a babyface slay all the heels). Might have worked with Lawler in Memphis, but in 2003 people were clamoring for something else.That is not how Lawler was booked. He never would have survived what Jarrett did in that match. Hulk Hogan and Steve Austin could not have survived that. I dunno ... Hogan (oh, and Savage too) fought them 8 dudes that one time. That was pretty ... y'know, I'm gonna go with "egregious." That was pretty fuckin egregious. They did not handcuff Hogan, bludgeon him with a chair, do a super kick conchairto and ddt him in the span of a few minutes.

JonnyLaw Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 TNA had plenty of chances to capture lightning and have a company that would possibly make a decent amount of money. God, if I really wanted to I could go year by year thinking about all the times they had that chance and chose to either not do anything or go out of their way to spite the fans because the fans wanted something different. The earliest one I can think of was Raven debuting and him never winning the world title when he was scorching hot. Jarrett was booked as a dragon slayer (I think that was an old Jerry Jarrett thing. Have a babyface slay all the heels). Might have worked with Lawler in Memphis, but in 2003 people were clamoring for something else. But yeah they've had so many chances. Way more than they deserved. 1. I agree with you 100% 2. Let's not compare Jeff Jarrett and Jerry Lawler. 3. I think that the eventual book free e-pamphlet that will be written about TNA will be about chances that were there and blown to pieces. It's almost unbelievable. Some anger at TNA relates to the fact that they were so inept they basically blew any other companies chance of being "#2", cementing the WWE as pro wrestling. It is a hard point to argue.

nofuture Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'd imagine the next few weeks will be filled with the stockpile of Hernandez matches they can show now that he's been released by Lucha Underground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I was just reading the BFG card. This match stands out: Abyss vs. Aiden O'Shea vs. Chris Melendez vs. Eli Drake vs. Jesse Godderz vs. Mahabali Shera vs. Mr. Anderson vs. Robbie E vs. Tyrus in a Gauntlet match with the winner getting a future shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Title Basically all these guys are fighting for nothing.

nate Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 At first, I thought this was the King of the Mountain - a convoluted ladder match - with a one legged competitor. I was impressed with *someone's* moxy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGFanJay Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 So, a bunch of worthless crap. And gum. I still have about three blister packs full of Orbit thanks to my Black Friday purchases from 2013. So beyond getting a ton of $5, I also got enough gum to last several years - VIVA TNA!

BEN! Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I'm going to bask in the fact that LU out carnied TNA. LU didn't benefit financially in any way and came off like dicks with how they handle talent.

mattdangerously Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Has LU ever refused to pay the medical bills of someone injured in their ring? Or promised someone who was nearly crippled in their ring a job for life, only to fire them shortly thereafter? Because those are things TNA has done. More than once.

The Nature Boy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I had a dream about TNA last night. I was a debuting wrestler who was set to interrupt an in-ring segment where Kurt Angle was leading a stable full of ex-WWE guys. I made my entrance and attacked Kurt in the ring. The only problem? No one told Kurt I was coming out so when I started throwing worked punches, he just looked at me and went "WTF dude?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give 'em time. And TNA's dickishness doesn't absolve LU of theirs. Dick moves don't cancel out like football penalties. They accrue like points. So LU got one for their handling of Hernandez. And then TNA handled it by firing the wrong guy so they got one as well. Major announcement teased for Monday cause their biggest PPV of the year isn't the night before and doesn't need the hype. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
