zendragon Posted October 1 Posted October 1 You know I'm a big slow on the uptake and it took me a while to realize that Don Callis referring to him as "The Alpha", is a reference to Kenny Omega 3

I signed up for the TNA street team and put posters up all over town. I like to think I did my part. 5
Zimbra Posted October 1 Posted October 1 I'm watching best of Regal and there's a house show match with him and Dick Slater vs Sting/Bulldog and Regal/Slater is such a fun pairing that would have been a great 'mismatched partners' tag team on TV. Also it's fucked up we never got a single Regal/Greg Valentine match. 3

The two best wrestlers of 2005 going at in one of the best matches of all time. A ***** match. Happy 20th Anniversary. It's rare in wrestling when you get the #1 wrestler in the world at the time, Samoa Joe vs. the #2 wrestler in the world at the time, Kenta Kobashi. Both had amazing years. I gave Joe three ***** matches vs. AJ Styles vs. Christopher Daniels (TNA Unbreakable 2005), vs. Kenta Kobashi (ROH Joe vs. Kobashi) and vs. Styles (TNA Turning Point 2005). I gave Kenta Kobashi three ***** matches vs. Kensuke Sasaki (NOAH Tokyo Dome Show 2005), vs. Joe (ROH: Joe vs. Kobashi 2005) and with Go Shiosaki vs. Kensuke Sasaki/Katsuhiko Nakajima (NOAH: 5th November 2005). Speaking of AJ Styles, I had him third with the two ***** matches I mentioned when I spoke about Samoa Joe. 3
The Natural Posted October 1 Posted October 1 2 hours ago, WebConn89 said: 20 years ago today. Yes it’s already been 20 years. TNA's best ever year, 2005. Not a doubt in my mind. I'd have 2006 second and 2004 third. Honourable mention to 2009 and 2012. @DreamBroken, what do you think as the biggest TNA fan on the board?
WebConn89 Posted October 1 Posted October 1 Im rewatching the IMPACT! It’s a fun show I mean I get debut episode introducing TNA to a wider audience but at the same time they did things that bugged me then and bugged me now for instance Tito Ortiz showing up and setting up Jarrett-Nash both are not inherently bad but they ran both earlier in the year while on FSN and they pretended like neither happened earlier in the year and that’s insulting your audience who followed you from FSN to Spike myself included in that. Honestly and it’s easy to armchair book 20 years after the fact but instead of Jarrett-Nash 2 but pretend it’s 1 with Tito as guest ref they should have ran Jarrett vs Tito based on the Hard Justice finish back in May and kept the title on Raven and had Raven vs Monty with Monty getting the Title. 2

SirSmUgly Posted October 2 Posted October 2 This "Best of the MNW" stream the WWE Vault has on quickly degenerated from showing classic stuff like Goldberg/Hogan and Rock/Mankind to nonsense like Sid/Hollywood Hogan and a Tag Team Royal Rumble on RAW that I remember nothing about and see no reason to ever have recalled anyway. I'd much rather have them post a "Best of WWF/WCW in 1994" stream. 1
Cobra Commander Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) Sure one Killer Bee is noticeably taller than the other but they can put on masks and make you forget which one is Blair and which is Brunzell Edited October 2 by Cobra Commander 2
Cobra Commander Posted October 2 Posted October 2 the WCW Thunder upload for today went up at 3pm Central.. I don't know the process of the Vault channels for uploading their videos to YouTube and how much of an express lane they have to get their stuff up but i'm choosing to imagine that they forgot to upload a November 2000 episode of Thunder until just now guessing the plan for Thursdays once they run out of episodes to post is to just post matches from Thunder on Thursdays on the episodes they didn't upload due to Benoit. Eddie vs Psicosis from July 1998 Thunder is new if you never saw it before! Probably no shortage of Jericho TV matches from 1998 that they can upload separately once he comes back at the Rumble.

The Green Meanie Posted October 2 Posted October 2 I love that his intro and dance number was almost longer then the actual match. 2
