J.T. Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I will give TNA this. They were much faster in putting a belt on their returning retired MMA guy than the WWE was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nate Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Jeez, at least Quack had the decency to wipe the tag points clean that had grown stagnant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spontaneous Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Actually a decent show, albeit by TNA standards. Nothing terrible, though the main was very underwhelming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 The pre-show Cops has a guy kicking in a window. Turns out it's his ex-wife's boyfriend's car and the guy is just going nuts. He gets tased and screams and bellows. Then a guy gets stopped for his car falling apart and it turns out he's got an out of state license, driving a car that isn't his because a guy gave it to him for free, and he's got meds that aren't prescribed for him. He thinks they're for anti-anxiety, but he's not entirely sure what they are. Oh, and he's gotten three or four cars for free too! I like Roode and Angle bringing up their past respect-based feud here - makes them getting along now make more sense.Nice red, white, and blue graphics for the 4th. Love Kurt having a script to remember the matches. THE STATE OF THE FANS. And Angle's pronunciation of "The Menagerie" is amazing. Shockingly, Joe is angry for no good reason. THE MENAGERIE HAS UNCLE SAM STILT-WALKERS! The Wolves' red, white, and black gear suits these graphics nicely. This 3-way has DJZ and Jesse, and somehow, Knux and The Freak A - had money for the Uncle Sam outfits, but also B - got a title shot despite not wrestling, let alone winning, any tag matches. Tenay brought up EY being 0-3 against Lashley - COULD TONIGHT BE HIS NIGHT!? Roode looks so badass in his jeans, busted up shirt, and belt. Roode may be the only man on Earth who preps for a street fight by cutting a promo. "They brawled and brawled and brawled and brawled." NOW THAT THEY'RE IN THE RING, the street fight begins with a bell. The fuck? Is this under WCW Hardcore rules where it starts in the back until they got to the ring where it began? Fun match though. Brittany looks quite hot with the revamped hair.Shame she's saying words - acting is not her strong point. Fun heel turn - she's got some poise as a heel, which is more than she had as a face. Good-ish promo from Bully about putting the Carters through tables. Nice return/heel turn from Rhino. EC3 won with a chokeslam through the table, which he should never do again - it's worse than his leg lock.YAY! THE SAMUEL SHAW SAGA! Anderson is being a massive asshole here. He's being one to Samuel and one to Christy for not telling her that Shaw's here. Velvet and Angelina rubbed their tits all over "Stiffy". So...why did Earl allow Stiffler to be the ref?The BPs are whoring themselves out to retain the KOs title. This may or not be worse than Meredith on the Office screwing guys for steak coupons. Knux owes guys money. THE FREAK POSING ISN'T GOING TO BE MAKE HIM HAPPY. So clearly HHH isn't a creditor. Angelina's skin is getting really saggy. Gail's wedgie gear is something else. Shame she still has no ass. Pretty good little match here. I like Brian Hebner seeing Velvet's hotshot, but kicking her out for it and Angelina being undone by her own arrogance. YAY A BATTLE ROYAL ON TV NEXT WEEK! Other than doing the same "ref tosses interfering folks out" twice in two matches, the World title match established that Lashley is the motherfucking man in TNA and he does shit that no other MMA/Pro Wrestler hybrid does - and before Brock gets his World Title push too. They lucked into this since Lashley is a better worker than MVP right now, but he can have MVP cut his promos and that's honestly all MVP's good for anymore. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2014/07/tna-impact-wrestling-7-3-14.html Screens - http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/o022bh3zeo90lyftlffrwgajyxlwovrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooker Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Ready for me to take away one of the few things you don't hate about TNA? The new lyrics to Bobby Roode's theme sounds like DVDA. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucky Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 When I used to backyard wrestle we had a guy named Maximus The Man's Man and that was his entrance theme. TNA should hire that guy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Coaster Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I made one of MGFanJay's Screencaps! Don't know if that is good or bad. fwiw, top picture I am the salt-and-pepper-haired guy in the red shirt who looks like he could use a little more sleep. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoKnowsWrestling Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just watched tna for the first time since the aces and 8s angle got shitty. My only comment is that Angle is definitely turning heel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLaw Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 Just watched tna for the first time since the aces and 8s angle got shitty. My only comment is that Angle is definitely turning heel. Well... Yeah. He's a face and he's in TNA. Of course he is turning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGFanJay Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Plus, he's an authority figure in TNA, and they've largely all been heels except for Dusty A DECADE AGO. Well, I guess Cornette was a face. So seven years then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
