Nice Guy Eddie Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 At least Sonjay got attacked during his celebration. That's what was missing from Jinder's, and not by Randy Orton either, preferably Handsome Rusev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I was wondering why Williams would be wrestling since he was in the league last year. Then I saw that he averaged 3.5 yards per carry last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Okay - I realized now that it isn't clear Did they fly fucking DeAngelo Williams to India just to make the match or did Moose just say it? I am assuming the latter but ya never know 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramo2653 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Once I started looking at his stats I ended up looking at his Twitter account and it doesn't mention it so I assume he just said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted June 23, 2017 Author Share Posted June 23, 2017 Solid X Division opener and main event. I dig the potential of Ki vs. Sydal with Sydal coming to save Sonjay. Knockouts tag was disappointingly short for being the first time Rosemary was pinned. The JB/Park training montage was kind of amusing this time.

Thibs Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Eli is still boss on the mic. Idk why they saddle him with Adonis. It would be like putting Rock with Billy Gunn in 1998. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Impact plan India before WWE thought about Jinder? Could have sworn that was the case. But even if not I'm still of the belief Impact has done a better job in showing how awesome India is and making their stars a big deal. I don't know what promotion they got out of this, but Sony Six being involved couldn't hurt. One advantage WWE has is that they're well known and bigger news/entertainment outlets are more likely to know about Jinder. But I'm hoping Impact's doing what they can to get Mahabali and Sonjay out to as many people as possible. As for Daniel and EY comparison, you're on the money about that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Sugar Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 While Jarrett and TNA might've HAD India first, nothing came of it after one season of Ring Ka King...otherwise the RKK and GFW Tag Champs wouldn't be working WWE with Jinder Mahal.

RRR Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Obviously the next logical step for TNA is to go from the impact zone where people pay for parking to see the show to India where they have to pay the audience to attend. Making inroads though that's what's important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as bad as this indy-level bullshit: I mean, I get the perception but the India tour's been planned for a while. Should they not play to the Indian fan base because WWE decided they wanted to run with Jindar 3 weeks prior? All the while, WWE is signing everyone and anyone that used to be in TNA. Everyone copies everyone-- WWE's entire presention for the last 20 yrs on Monday nights has been a ripoff of Nitro. There's plenty of other legit things to hate on Impact about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 While it is obvious they put the X division title on Sonjay because they were in India, it wasn't that terrible of a choice compared to Jinder. Jinder was a nobody that they put the world title. Sonjay was true star of TNA since the beginning and still really good in the ring. Plus it fits the narrative of him being in TNA off and on for 15 years with no title. Plus Low Ki legit fucked his eye up. So Sonjay winning makes perfect sense. Is he better than a Trevor Lee or Andrew Everett in the prime of their careers? Maybe not because he can still have damn good matches with him Now if they put a title on Shera in the TV tapings then the Jinder argument is 100% accurate. That guy is a horrible wrestler who hadn't done anything except team with Grado. By the way catching up on Impact shows, maybe they need to start being more selective about their Orlando crowd like in India because I don't think I have seen a crowd with more percentage of attractive women in the crowd. Maybe they are mostly actresses but who cares it is refreshing. I say percentage of because the WWE would have lots more in the crowd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
