MGFanJay Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 AJ's promo was a goddamn trainwreck, but every match on the show was at least good. Hogan's big plan for No Surrender revolving around Sting losing his title match is also amusing. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/08/tna-impact-8-29-13.html Screens - I demand more shows start like this. http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/mqtm17zy5it1c8gmemwoobzklk3ezz0l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzombie1988 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I reviewed Impact with pics and gifs here:http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2013/08/tna-impact-wrestling-8292013-results.htmlOverall thoughts: A couple of good matches saved this show. I really recommend everyone seeing Aries/Daniels and maybe checking out ODB/Kim. Skip that horrid AJ promo though.Some shots from the show: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mco543 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 AJ's promo needs to be seen to be believed, it was the "shoot" version of that Genesis of McGillicutty promo. Next time they send AJ out to do one of those they need to give him breadcrumbs so he can find his way back. He did so badly on it TNA should knock 10% off their contract offer to him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newb82 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Seriously though, it's nice that they made it a whole what, two months before ignoring the "Sting never gets another title shot" stip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Maybe Hogan had that overturned. If he can have Bully's divorce finalized without his consent, he can do that. Joseph Park Esq. does some amazing things. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Pretty good four matches. Aries/Daniels had some good stuff, Gail/ODB was pretty good as well. Didn't think Styles promo was that bad, just a bit long. I'm sure Hulkster just got caught up in the excitement in saying Sting gets a title shot. Glad Aries made it to the final 4 in the Series.

MGFanJay Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Only so far - the final four won't be determined until after next week's GIANT 20 POINT GAUNTLET (for a shot at the gold). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I enjoyed AJ's postmodern take on CM Punk's pipebomb speech. /MaskedMan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I was reading a review of iMPACT and was thinking "that AJ promo sounds pretty good" and then the reviewer crapped all over it after his recap of it. And you guys are crapping all over it. So I guess my point is if you had just read a recap of AJ's promo instead of actually watching it, you'd have thought it was good.

cool arrow Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 So I was reading the spoilers for next week's show and AJ picks his opponent for No Surrender, which is Aries. Since they're basically doing the same gimmick now, does the winner get to keep it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Ray Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 In summation: Last week: Fans: YEAH! AJ's his old self! No more emo whiny bitch! This week: After AJ's promo: Oh no! The bitch is back. It's really like AJ and TNA were going out. They had a break up. AJ got all emo, made late night calls to TNA where he'd hang up. They got back together, but now AJ's being a total dick about TNA's relationship with new person not working out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mco543 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I forgot to mention this but my favorite part of the entire show was the TNA commercial that called the Gail/Taryn match the greatest, hardest hitting, most intense, women's match of all-time or whatever the fuck it was.

caley Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The AJ promo was kinda sad in that the crowd was just red-hot for him, chanting his name, popping for his entrance and turning down the MEM, then after he talks for thirty seconds, they start chanting "What?" I didn't think the promo was THAT awful...truthfully it wasn't miles below a couple others on the show (Hulkster, I'm looking at you...Anderson...same thing). One of the biggest things I've noticed about TNA after a solid month or so of watching it regularly is that they really protect anyone's gimmick, for instance, you have James Storm as the beer-drinkin' rebel, but Aces & 8s also sit around backstage drinking beer, so it's not really special. Or tonight, you've got Gail Kim trying for a submission move and the announcers say "It's like a modified Sharpshooter!" when you've got a guy who does the move and calls it the Scorpion Deathlock, so why not call it "A modified Scorpion Deathlock"? You'd never catch someone on WWE going "A modified Styles Clash...a modified Steiner Recliner" so why would you do it back? Also, that Main Event Mafia logo they showed before a commercial break was ass-ugly. So, we're looking at a Mr. Anderson face-turn, right? That's...unfortunate.

MGFanJay Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think they're teasing Anderson just to have Devon get the shot. Or maybe they'll super hot-shot and give the match to Tito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly Critical Man Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 The youtube comments are all arguing about whether or not AJ's promo was better or worse than WWE AJ's promo...these people seem to think it was close and comes down to preference. You scare the hell out of me, Youtube commenters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Don't see what the problem is. It went too long, but every promo goes too long. His delivery was good with the same crappy shoot material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 As I was watching that promo, I was reminded of the discussion about whether AJ had a WWE run in him. Then I laughed and laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I liked that the commenters argued whether CM Punk's inability to do a springboard 450 determines whether or not he was in AJ's league as a wrestler. It was like a less sophisticated version of the missile dropkick debate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Seriously though, it's nice that they made it a whole what, two months before ignoring the "Sting never gets another title shot" stip. Meltzer said that that was another Hogan fuck up and he was supposed to say "non-title match" so TNA will have to clean that up.
