MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 This wasn't a bad show, but hour 1 dragged on. Sabin-Manik was pretty nothing. Aries-AJ was an outstanding match that was well-worth watching again...outside of the finish. Tito as #august1 is wacky. http://jayreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2013/08/tna-impact-8-1-13.html Screens - OH GOD, THEY'RE STARING INTO MY SOUL! http://www.imagebam.com/gallery/xbfkzrs74msz7gx1hyt322ma3mi37kp5 2
cool arrow Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 So TNA expects TNA fans, most of whom don't even buy TNA PPV's, to pay for a Bellator PPV? Seems legit.
mco543 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Sabin is awful. AJ-Aries was fucking amazing even though that finish was the shits. Tito being the surprise is the most TNA-esque TNA moment in a long time. It's awesome though that somehow Inoki got the book in the company. 1
MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 Anderson's look of sheer panic at the thought of someone horning in on his "most useless has-been in TNA" title was amazing. Hey Buddy 2
rzombie1988 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I reviewed Impact with pics and gifs here(due to some issues, I'll be putting up pics and gifs from the first hour ASAP):http://prowresblog.blogspot.com/2013/08/tna-impact-wrestling-812013-results-and.htmlOverall thoughts: The AJ/Aries match is must see and Manik/Sabin was good, making this a good show.Some shots from the show:

Overly Critical Man Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 My dream angle that Rampage will lead a stable of washed up MMA fighters to end Aces and Eights and then MEM must find a way to stop their out of control MMA army comes one step closer.
Rev Ray Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 AJ/Aries was fun, but I would rethink taking suicide dives into stairs. Man, the repackage of AJ Styles is baffling. It seemed like "ooooh, we're gonna make him this gritty loner biker", but then he has the Bieber hair and the Goth Dean Venture whiny promos, it's weird. "GET OUT OF MY ROOM MOM! GOD, You guys just don't understand me" 1
Piston Honda Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 For a moment I thought #AugustWarning was the return of Chris Gaines. 1

OH MY GOD! WE KNOW WHO THIS IS. IT'S THE MAINIAC TIM SYLVIA, JENS PULVER, PHIL BARONI, AND KEN SHAMROCK! 4

Tito being the surprise is the most TNA-esque TNA moment in a long time. It's awesome though that somehow Inoki got the book in the company. Sabin's not awful. His trunks are, though. Sabin's trunks are better at functioning as wrestling gear than Sabin is at functioning as a pro wrestler. The pitter patter of his little chops on Bully Ray were something to see though.
RIPPA Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I wish Gail Kim vs. ODB had been earlier on the card because it seems like everyone forgot about it the second AJ/Aries happened
Charlie M. Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Oh no, is Chris Sabin going to have to fight Michael Chandler now?
MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 Maybe they can have Babalu come out of retirement to face Angle. Or they'll just spend six figures to bring in Bob Sapp to win the X Title. Or TV Title since it just disappears for eons anyway.

It's certainly true that Sabin's looked... shall we say, uninspired since his return. But I reserve awful for the likes of Great Khali and David Otunga.
MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 Good lord is it weird seeing a pro wrestling show to hype up a real-life fight in Bellator announced on a show where Wheelock said that most of the time in MMA, guys don't actually hate each other.
Overly Critical Man Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 A stable of Tito, Rampage, Bob Sapp, and Chuck Liddell being douchebags and wearing Ed Hardy shirts while ground and pounding the X-division would probably get me to buy at least one ppv, not gonna lie. 4
MGFanJay Posted August 2, 2013 Author Posted August 2, 2013 Scott Steiner should be their ring announcer, and by God, we need at least one appearance of 3 Count and Tank Abbott. Maybe he can fight Knux and threaten to cut his fucking throat before stealing his vest.
Spontaneous Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I feel like we get some stupid angle where Ortiz takes out Rampage backstage so he doesn't have to actually wrestle and help give the A&8s heat in their match. Maybe.
mco543 Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Does Naoya Ogawa still work? It's a shame TNA is doing this MMA shit after Barnett signed with UFC.
Overly Critical Man Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 I hope whatever the endgame is, it involves Kurt Angle making all the MMA guys tapout to the Ankle lock after taking a moonsault. 2
cool arrow Posted August 2, 2013 Posted August 2, 2013 Has EN090 rejoined us yet? I'd love to read his take on all this.
