Impact Wrestling Live Discussion 8/1/13

[Cap]

1) Kaitlyn hasn't had enough time to really shine, but her stuff with AJ has been phenomenal.

2) Forgot a few names.

Paul Heyman
The Wyatt Family
KANE
Randy Orton (Hardly ever botches, and never fails to put on a great match.)
Justin Gabriel
Kofi Kingston
Sheamus

3) TNA couldn't sell out the Agganis Arena at Slammiversary. Just putting that out there.

Yes, because Paul Heyman wrestles. Gabriel is good, Kofi is good, Sheamus is decent, Kane is overrated, and I haven't seen enough of the Wyatt's. Also, I am talking about wrestling talent. You forgot Moxley, and Black as well.

 

[Kross Rhodes]

I love you for the Orton shout out.

It's ruined by the Kane shout though.

:bastard:

Kane and Kofi don't really belong in a discussion of top wrestlers. As for the Slammiversary thing, no need to state the obvious. Everyone knows that TNA isn't exceedingly popular compared to the WWE. I'm not saying that TNA is better than WWE or vise versa, but ticket sales don't really indicate a quality promotion because if that was the case, CHIKARA would be selling out MSG on a regular basis.

TNA has the talent to be entertaining but they are literally the worst run company I have ever seen as of late....their booking is awful and they make worse decisions then the LA Clippers of the last 20 years

LA Clippers the last 3 years though... gotta love 'em.

 

[Joey]

Yes, because Paul Heyman wrestles. Kane is overrated

Paul Heyman wrestles on the mic.

And Kane is over rated? I'll forget you said that. I'm a huge Kane fan, and i'm a fan of everything he does in and out of the ring.

Agreed, and make that PWG. I am a wrestling fan, not an entertainment fan. I don't care about over-the-top flashy dancing gimmicks, or annoying promos about how the champ is here. Hence why I watch indys and wrestling companies.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

I do but they still have a horrid owner who I am sure will fuck it all up

When was the last time he's wrestled a technical match? Yes, he is overrated. I do respect your opinion, and I don't mean to sound like a smark, but I have never liked Kane. His gimmick was awesome in the attitude era, and I loved when he was unmasked, but, he cannot wrestle.

I mean, i love PWG, and i'm all for wrestling. But WWE is the best all around, and I think you know that.

Its not always about Technical Wrestling. Kane has developed his own style, and it works just fine if you ask me.

Entertainment, and viewers wise? I agree. I think Vince doesn't care or need to worry about putting on a compelling wrestling show, because TNA isn't competition as far as viewers, PPV buys, merchandise, or popularity goes. TNA is the only company in north america that could be barely considered a threat, mind you, keyword: barely.

Thats fine and great, but personality and mic skills aren't wrestling.

 

[Gentleman Jake]

Cap I like ya alright but the looking down upon WWE and snarky "wrestling" remarks aren't needed...it's the biggest and it always will be...plus watch some NXT you will enjoy it I am sure

Once again though you kinda contradict yourself. CHIKARA is pure comedy and ridiculousness (excluding a few of the more serious guys)... they don't even have that many quality wrestling matches.

 

[The Viper]

Yes they are.
