steve Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 The locked door being an illegal move popped me. (Especially considering murder was perfectly legal) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caley Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I forgot the line of the night, Broken Matt addressing RRE "We were all teen heartthrobs at one time!" before handing them their fireworks. Also after reading about RRE in Jericho's book where he said they had their own little routines worked out ahead of time (like Robert would say "I didn't get much sleep last night, Ricky" and Ricky would say "I haven't slept in 18 years, Robert"), it was funny to hear one they got into the TND ("God loves crazy people...that's why he made so many of us"). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Apropos of nothing, Ricky REALLY needs to sell those SOM shirts. At the Big Event back in March I was about to ask him about getting one when Robert walked up and chopped me in the chest. "Hiya!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie M. Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I thought it was great especially given the fact that they had to fill two hours. As previously mentioned, Edwards and Lashley were actually having a heck of a match before they went outside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisM Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Vanguard 1 was the highlight, for me. Two hours of this is a little much, but it was ok. I just hope Trips laughs off the "burial" thing when the Hardys come back to WWE, next year.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite 'line' was from Vanguard 1 when they wouldn't let it compete in the match against Sienna, at the bottom of his display it said "This is BS AF". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 They definitely didn't have enough footage to fill two hours (or something got cut) since they randomly re-ran the training footage.

jstout Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Dammit, how many stars will Meltzer give the main event? I was hoping for a Bucks of Youth cameo so he'd have to reach for the never-before-given sixth star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phantom Lord Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 You know, had this been the final episode ever of TNA it would have been a perfect series finale. The Hardy's standing tall. A new baby on the way. What more could you ask for. Hell, a no-contest in the world title match where the World champion sort of just disapeared off into the North Carolina woods would have been the most fitting TNA ending ever. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overly Critical Man Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Since Eddie Edwards is a wolf, it makes perfect sense he'd want to take the fight into the woods. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 I said this on Twitter but that might have been the weirdest way to reboot a company But it would have been funny if they "killed" all the guys they didn't want to use anymore Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spritenaut 32 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Frazier? Is the title match supposed to be still going on? Â This could set a record for longest match ever. Super fun show. Â I doubt Broken Matt would get my March Madness vote over AJ or even Miz, but the broken Hardys may be the most fun thing in wrestling, and I give Matt a lot of credit for doing something different and re-inventing himself at this late stage. Plus, he's willing to walk around in public with that hair. Â Give that man an award or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstout Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 TNA is missing on a sure thing if they don't have next year's first show start with Edwards and Lashley fighting their way into the Impact Zone wearing the same gear and continue the match.

Â Tease his debut for a few weeks, then have him come dancing down to the ring in a totally different gimmick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zev Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Same ref that said Sienna couldn't face a drone probably said Grado couldn't face a kangaroo. The golden opportunity missed was to have Allie Impact show up, get thrown in Lake GimmickTonka, and suddenly realize she's been feuding with Rosemary/Courtney for over a year.

APO Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Man, this thing was fucking nuts and I loved damn near every minute of it. Vanguard-1 getting pissy about not being allowed to fight Sienna and the Helms Dynasty beating up the boat for breaking up the pin had tears in my eyes while Morton being left in the land of deletion finished me off. ODB was a fun surprise and damn, did James Storm look like a badass when he showed up. Have to admit that I kinda wanted to see the Broken Hardys lose just to see how batshit insane the land of deletion getting destroyed would've been.

jstout Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 The ending was fabulous, straight out of a Sam Raimi-Bruce Campbell movie. I wanna fantasy book some more: 1. When the planted fans got taken out during the Lashley-Edwards match, I wish they would've started mumbling and groaning in pain "holy shit." 2. To follow on my Lashley-Edwards continuation theme, I wanna see pretaped segments showing their fight from North Carolina to Florida, including a segment where one says: "whoa, whoa" "what?" "You hungry?" "I could eat" And they fight their way to a nearby Waffle House, where they sit down to a calm meal together - "how's the family?" - followed by paying the check, getting out to the parking lot and starting to brawl again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
