Going to be a great show as usual!
ReplyDeleteFuck yeah, it's The Big O! Finally, a reason to watch Impact!
ReplyDeleteI'll be flipping back and forth between this and the NBA draft. Watching David Stern get booed every time he steps to the podium is funny, but watching him play to the crowd and incite them is next level of hilarity.
ReplyDeleteI want him to cut a Ric Flair promo next.
This is the first year in a long time that, as a Sixers fan, I had some excitement in the first round. Even the year they had the #2 pick it was basically set that they were taking Evan Turner. They certainly started down a new path tonight.
ReplyDeleteAre you disappointed with the Noel trade?
ReplyDeleteAre you happy with getting Noel?
ReplyDeleteThat tacky brown announcer table cover needs spray painted black.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Talk about a lack of interest. I'm watching 24 on Blu-Ray and contemplating the War Games DVD. Are the extras on the Blu-Ray worth it?
ReplyDeleteNext MEM member has to be Joe, right?
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping it's Aries and/or Roode. But most likely Hardy.
ReplyDeleteAll I know is that my Celtics traded up to get Kelly Olynyk. I hated him more than any other player in the NCAA Tourney this year.
ReplyDeleteWe know it won't be Rob Van Dam. Thankfully.
ReplyDeleteGood call, I was just thinking in terms of former members. I agree on Hardy, but I'd be all for an Aries face turn. The crowd doesn't want to boo him anyway, and he's not trying particularly hard to get them to.
ReplyDeleteI can't see Hardy in a suit. lol.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what to think yet. When the first report came out, it said the Sixers were the ones giving up a 2014 #1, and I was livid. But since they corrected it to the SIxers getting the pick, I'm better with it (though if it's a top 5 pick next year, it's protected). And it scares me that Noel has an injury issue, considering we just came off the Bynum debacle.
ReplyDeleteI like Holiday, but they weren't going anywhere with him right now. Maybe Noel (if he's healthy) and Carter-Williams can be a decent core.
See above. I'm mixed on it right now, but leaning toward liking it, I guess.
ReplyDeleteAinge deserves his fair share of criticism, but I give him the benefit of the doubt in the draft. He doesn't hit every time, but he does more than most.
ReplyDeleteHis busts were with Marcus Banks, JaJuan Johnson and JR Giddens but he hit on Davis and Powe in the second round and got Rondo, Bradley, Sullinger, amongst others.
ReplyDeleteEvery Day I'm Musclin'? I dislike this dude already.
ReplyDeleteTony Allen, Al Jefferson, Delonte, Perk...
ReplyDeleteHe wore a tie as part of Immortal.
ReplyDeletePerk was serviceable.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like the top of an Atari
ReplyDeleteThe hell? It sounded like a mass murder was cutting a swath through some of the off-camera crowd there.
ReplyDeleteAgain: The hell? Suicide?
ReplyDeleteAnd that match was off. Not bad... just off.
Yeah, I don't mean everyone has to be an All Star. That's not really a realistic expectation. But I'll take drafting a starting center on a championship team who can then be spun for Jeff Green. You're just trying to draft pieces, and hit the occasional home run. Ainge does that as well as anyone.
ReplyDeleteHe's in full-on rebuilding, talent acquisition mode now. Accumulate enough chips to either contribute (Rondo, Perk) or spin for a top-10 player (KG trade).
Aries?
ReplyDeleteI was JUST thinking they should pull a Malenko, have Suicide win and unmask to be AJ Styles or something.
ReplyDeleteI'm over this X-Division three-way title defense. It's stale.
ReplyDeleteIt was someone committing suicide ... during a suicide match.

ReplyDeleteVan Hammer Jr.!
ReplyDeleteThis Ryan Howe guy looks like he would fit right in.................... in 1992 USWA.
ReplyDeleteDamn, you beat me to the Van Hammer joke!
ReplyDeleteI'm a few minutes behind, but was that not the least enthusiastic "This Is Awesome" chant ever?
ReplyDelete...uh.
ReplyDeleteWhat the holy fuck?
ReplyDeleteYeah THAT won't get old quick!
ReplyDeleteOK...Taz made note of it. The joke is officially DEAD.
ReplyDeleteAdam Ohriner will get a WWE developmental contract my midnight.
ReplyDeleteSo Daffney, tell us about your last sexual experience with a man:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.boredwrestlingfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/lauren-interviews-daffney-o.gif
Reminds me of Vladimir Kozlov.
ReplyDeleteAnd when he debuts on RAW he'll play a kazoo to the ring.
ReplyDelete..and he'll be Adam O'Riley: Horswoggles cousin or Sheamus' wacky sidekick.
ReplyDeleteZombie hot.
ReplyDeleteI bet they debut him by having him destroy Ryder in a squash :P
ReplyDeleteI heard the Van Hammer joke... missed most of the match on the john, though. Looks like I picked the right match to need a bathroom trip.
ReplyDeleteAnd Taz made the joke again just to make sure the joke was dead.
ReplyDeleteIT'S TAZ!!!
ReplyDeleteThe woman on this commercial sounds like Vickie Guerrero.
ReplyDeleteHis WWE name would be:
ReplyDeleteFlex Phillips
Ryan Howe reminds me on Stevie Richards.
ReplyDelete"Interesting..so then what?"

ReplyDeleteWell, I still think this could be an Ace... but then again, WHO? None of them (the known ones) could fit in that role.
ReplyDeletehttp://i.imgur.com/hIBmI.gif
ReplyDeletePlease, just cripple Velvet now.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Aries.
ReplyDeleteMickie needs to go full glam. It looks crazy when she dresses up for interviews but then comes to the ring looking like Daisy Duke.
ReplyDeleteI think it works with her disingenuous gimmick. Like she's trolling TNA's redneck audience.
ReplyDeleteODB done copped a feel, doo-dah, doo-dah
ReplyDeleteODB done copped a feel, Velvet's still walking, blah.
How is the visual of Mickie having Velvet's leg on her shoulder a BAD thing?
ReplyDeleteThe announce desk looks like the furniture you buy from Walmart and construct yourself.
ReplyDeleteVelvet Sky has the worst ring psychology of any wrestler (male or female) I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteTo this day, I still can't explain it. But I would do wonderful things to ODB, given the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteIt's from IKEA's fugherucerberbebhergen collection.
ReplyDeleteI've said for years that she looks better than 90% of the WWE's women.
ReplyDeleteCaught a part of EY's show on Animal Planet... Can't say he came out badly there.
ReplyDeleteAlso, YAY MICKIE!
Good. No no more title matches for Velvet. Become a valet or something.
ReplyDeleteFirst, Gail needs to come out and FINISH HER!
ReplyDeleteAnd this crowd's not nice. Oh well.
Oh, and for the record, I'm sure the first Suicide wasn't Mr. Perkins.
ReplyDeleteI give Velvet's post-match crying a .4 Kaitlyn
ReplyDeletePlease be Kaz or Daniels...
ReplyDeletePlease be Kaz or Daniels...
Please be Kaz or Daniels...
Please be Kaz or Daniels...
Subtle.
ReplyDeleteRoode is the man.
ReplyDeleteTHAT would be downright hilarious.
ReplyDeleteWell that seals it. New member is Joe.
ReplyDeleteKnicks get Tim Hardaway Jr.
ReplyDeleteJames Storm as next MEM member?
ReplyDeleteBefore Gunner, maybe. Now? I'm not so sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd HOLY SHIT, they're coming down here August 3. Think I might have to make the trip
Adam Ohriner is the best Big O since Ricky Ortiz.
ReplyDelete"What about his crotch Brah? Was there anything diffrent there? Was he bigger or smaller Brah?"
ReplyDeleteRoode is one of the few TNA guys with cool music.
ReplyDeleteI like Magnus, but not as Generic Babyface.
ReplyDeleteOkay, that might make Magnus a pretty big favorite for the Top 4.
ReplyDeleteGorilla Monsoon would say, Upset City!!!!
ReplyDeleteUnless Magnus is winning the BFG series, I wouldn't have wasted a win over Roode on a random Impact. But then again, I probably think Roode's a bigger deal than TNA does.
ReplyDelete"Korea suicide??"
ReplyDeleteWTF is Chavo doing with the Bros? Also, Bully's doing pretty well tonight.
ReplyDeleteThe "lay off the carbs" line was funny.
ReplyDeleteChavo gets lamer with every passing episode.
ReplyDeleteSomebody forget the belts?
ReplyDeleteNext challengers? Please? Before Storm somehow fully devolves into Road Dogg.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll take it.
OK, That line from Taz was funny.
ReplyDeleteMy only issue is calling Tara a guy. And I withdraw my request... just kick his face off and go back to channelling Road Dogg.
ReplyDeleteThat's low Storm.
ReplyDeleteThis team needs Joey Ryan to be complete.
ReplyDeleteI would not be recommending that little segment for any "best of" awards.
ReplyDeleteThey REALLY dropped the ball by not making Storm The Guy. His schtick isn't my bag, but he definitely has It, and the TNA crowds love him. Out of all their aborted Guys--AJ, Joe, Storm, etc.--I think the most money was there to be made with Storm.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I gotta agree, I always liked Storm and thought he could have been a big deal with the right push.
ReplyDeleteI agree with that guy ... Taz sucks.
ReplyDeleteThey could've had their cake and eaten it too last year. Aries beats Roode at Destination X to cement his spot, and add former world heavyweight champion to his name. Aries drops the belt back to Roode at Hardcore Justice, and loses his rematch at No Surrender. Storm wins the BFG series, and he and Roode have the exact same match at BFG except for the strap. Storm gets Hardy's run with the belt from BFG to Lockdown, where he drops it to Bully.
ReplyDeleteIf Storm takes off as much as I suspect he might've, he could chase Bully until BFG, win the series again, and get his belt back there. If his run did nothing, then you can always go with Dark AJ this year.
http://i.imgur.com/xP73f.gif
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was STUPID, Joe. IF Aces interfere, Kennedy's ten points down. Let the idiots dance, and just beat on Kennedy some more.
ReplyDeleteGood riddance, Stern.
ReplyDeleteIf TNA was smart(hahahahahahahahaha) they would promote Eric Young's episode on the Steve Austin podcast.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand this ultimatum. So if the guy behind the mask DOES reveal himself, he gets to keep a belt he won in a match he had no business being in? If everyone KNOWS he's not Suicide, wouldn't it make more sense to reveal himself and remain champion?
ReplyDeleteWell, how important is the mask? Or remaining hidden? If everyone knows who you are, you're a target.
ReplyDeleteAnyone OTHER than AJ is a waste from a storyline standpoint.
ReplyDeleteJeff Hardy would make sense storyline wise as well.
ReplyDeleteBut wouldn't you rather be a target WITH a belt?
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely something within Aries character. AJ's got the BFG series to win.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I actually never thought of that.
ReplyDelete... so does Aries, theoretically.
ReplyDeleteSo, Suicide is Suicide, and whoever's wearing the mask now isn't Suicide? If they don't know who Suicide is in the first place how do they know Suicide tonight isn't Suicide?
ReplyDeleteI'm confused.
ReplyDeleteI vote Alex Shelley.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that he's still wrestling in japan atm would kind of make that tough.
ReplyDeleteA Double.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Bully talking about "Suicide" cashing in his belt for the WH Title? He's refusing to take the mask off, thus he forfeits the belt.
ReplyDeleteThat's disappointing.
ReplyDeleteWhoever it is has some big man boobs
ReplyDeleteI hope it's Waltman ...
ReplyDeleteI thought it was AJ but the build seems off.
ReplyDeleteAries! Good choice.
ReplyDeleteBane?
ReplyDeleteLow KI?
ReplyDeleteI like it. I still don't think it's fair that he's champion, but I do like it.
ReplyDelete...eh.
ReplyDeleteThey sure taught him a lesson after he harassed Hemme
ReplyDeleteGideon, your cookie is in the mail.
ReplyDeleteI'm digging it. And not just because I called it immediately.
ReplyDeleteWhat if the belt could also be a shield?
ReplyDeleteHe's losing to Bully. If anything, this'll make him an easier target in BfG, probably distracted by Aces all to hell.
ReplyDeleteWow, Garnett, Pierce and Jason Terry to the Nets.
ReplyDeleteYeah. That fucked me up too.
ReplyDeleteKG still has to okay it. And it's not six years ago, so it's not as significant as it seems.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I didn't necessarily mean it would be a game changer. Just a lot of big names. I guess it's good from Boston's standpoint to alleviate some money (they take on Wallace's contract, but move Terry's). Though the 3 #1 pick they get probably won't be very high.
ReplyDeleteMoving Storylines: Success. Bully's next opponent is named, MEM builds up, Storm and Gunner have someone to beat on for now, Mickie's hopefully done with Velvet, BfG Series continues...
ReplyDeleteEntertainment: Average: Hit or miss at best. Not bad, but can't be called better than good at best.
Wrestling: Good, spotty at times, but nothing downright bad.
Overall: Good. Not a failure, and that's all that matters some weeks.

ReplyDeleteWhat makes you think this is going to stick? They could just as easily have Sabin win the title back next week.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that after the TNA guys abandoned him at the PPV, Sting's getting together a group of guys that he can trust, like Kurt Angle and Samoa Joe and...hey, wait a minute.........
ReplyDelete
