RIPPA Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Oh and the biggest takeaway for me from this week's show was Dean and I both agreeing that we would sadly watch a TNA Knockouts knockoff Total Diva show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRV 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... Sorry, but the WHAT shit is just fucking everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spontaneous Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I noticed at the same time Impact was on so was 2000's oscar sweeping film Ready to Rumble. So, at least TNA has yet to make their own original movie. They have that going for them. Best moment of the night was as they are showing Hogan walking in, if you look Mr. Anderson is just casually walking in the background and quickly tries to dodge out of sight as soon as he sees the cameras. Is anyone else besides me concerned for Taz? He sounds so confused out there, he is verbally wandering around trying to figure out the world around him while falling flat on his face at every opportunity. "I'm gonna knock you flatter than Miley Cyrus's ass." Daniels/Aries was entertaining. I do also like how Magnus, the leader in the BFG series, can just knock off for two weeks and still expect to be in the final four. Why didn't the other leaders just come up with a scheduling excuse?

ricksilver Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I wasn't the guy in the crowd who yelled, "that stuff was a year ago!!!" to AJ Styles during that promo, but I wanted to be. This reminded me of the week after Matt Hardy came back red-hot about 10 years ago, then the next week banished himself to Forever Midcard with his big money promo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
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... Sorry, but the WHAT shit is just fucking everywhere. If it's a heel, or a struggling face (a la AJ), then yeah. But have you heard anyone "What?" Daniel Bryan? When John Cena is nailing one of his rare serious money promos, there's not a "What?" to be heard either. My point being, say something interesting and say it well, and, generally, the "Whats?" will die out. AJ had that crowd eating out of his hand until it was "Oh here he goes whining again...let's shout What at him!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 HOLY SHIT!!! I am so there EDIT - I got excited before clicking the link. Yeah - as I said last night I am amused that the first time TNA really gets burned with the taping PPVs like a year ahead of time is because of Brooke Hogan. But hey - she is getting a great run for a fired person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Yeah, not quite a Total Divas dealie but an all Knockout event will be awesome in a train wreck kinda way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorman Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I think with Gail Kim, you have to automatically call it the Sharpshooter because she's Canadian. And that's not the only Bret Hart move she does (figure-four around the ringpost) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I ff'wed through a lot of Impact earlier. The stuff with Bully Ray and Anderson was dumb. How long until we get a Aces & Eights Wolfpac (though if Anderson is gone soon that might be moot). Tito was wearing a PUNISHMENT Aces & Eights shirt so maybe for some reason they'll have regular Eights and Punishment Eights with Ortiz, Bully, and Brooke. Speaking of Brooke...Good GAWD. But man it made me laugh to think they could have easily had Brooke Hogan do this months ago. Become Bully's Old Lady. Instead she would never dare turn on Daddy (poor choice of wording there) and now she's gone thanks to Joe Park working his offscreen legal magic. The 2/3 falls match was pretty good. It's a shame Gail wasn't champion because a Gail/ODB feud would be fun. But ODB vs. Queen Mickie should be a fun feud it self. Then sadly we know ODB will win and then Brooke will win the Knockouts title just cause. As for the AJ promo, I guess it was all right. Yeah it was all shooty...but its TNA. EVERYTHING IS A SHOOT...BROTHER. I did get a good laugh at him bitching out management for bringing in people who fail and then expecting him to clean up the mess. Has he resigned? If he hasn't he should really just walk. He could make way more money elsewhere and he wouldn't have to worry about TNA constantly dicking his spot around.

Overly Critical Man Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Apparently AJ signed a short extension that goes to Bound For Glory and sometime after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I watched the promo. And I really don't understand the reason AJ went back to old AJ. Because he still seemed pretty angry in that promo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Probably for aesthetic reasons. There was no reason to wrestle in a xxxl tshirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 I watched the promo. And I really don't understand the reason AJ went back to old AJ. Because he still seemed pretty angry in that promo. So they could do an awkward theme transition? Basically, the difference between Country Emo AJ and "The Phenomenal" AJ appears to be a t-shirt and a finisher.

Rev Ray Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Maybe he'll do a split gimmick like Mutoh/Muta. AJ Styles and the Phenomenal Moper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Maybe he'll do a split gimmick like Mutoh/Muta. AJ Smiles and the Phenomenal Moper. I was convinced that they were building a Sabin & Sky* vs Bully & Brooke mixed tag, but I suppose not. * Did the backstage Velvet promo about going out with Sabin and missing Hardcore Justice due to relationship issues not air on the USA version?
