Impact Wrestling Live Discussion - May 3rd, 2012

[Fuji Vice]

After what happened this past week during the Eric Bischofff appreciation ceremony, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair has promised to call out General Manager Hulk Hogan to address what happened.

Before their World Heavyweight Championship bout at Sacrifice, Bobby Roode and Rob Van Dam will pick each other's opponents on the huge broadcast.

As a preview to matches that will take place at Sacrifice, AJ Styles teams with World Tag Team Champions Samoa Joe and Magnus to face Kurt Angle, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian.

In Knockouts tag team action, Knockouts Champion Gail Kim and Madison Rayne face Velvet Sky and Brooke Tessmacher.

A few thoughts from the announcements so far.

Hopefully the Flair/Hogan segment doesn't last as long as the one at Lockdown did and doesn't end with Flair throwing his shoes into the crowd and elbow dropping his jacket. That being said, it probably will, and I continue to worry that they're building to some sort of Hogan/Flair match, something I really don't want to see in 2012.

It'll be interesting to see who Roode and RVD pick for each other to face. I'd have to think Roode will go for someone tough like Bully Ray who could potentially wound RVD before their match and RVD will go for Garett Bischoff, because he "respects" him now. I'd love to see Roode kill Garett though.

Jognus and Styles vs. Angle & the Penis Heads? I'm in, if that one's given some time it could kick some major ass. Nice to see the hotness in the ring with the KO's tag match, and something tells me we'll see yet another Tessmacher upset to continue her mini-push which will result in her inevitable loss to Kim at Sacrifice.

Looks like a decent show on paper, and we should get a Devon TV Title defense as well. The question is...who will it be against? I open the floor to you for your thoughts and look forward to seeing you all here on Thursday night for the coolest LD on the interwebz.

I'm pretty excited about the Knockout's tag for some odd reason. Guess my sex drive is higher than usual, I dunno, but I will say this~!... I quite look forward to the six-man as well and as far as I know it's not because of my sex drive.

That was very mean, doing that to Eric.

 

[Hoss]

LET'S DO IT!!

 

[Smart Marx]

Hulk Hogan... sigh.

 

[Fuji Vice]

I assume Flair will be elbow dropping his $1000 shirt and tossing his $2000 shoes into the crowd in about 7 minutes.

[Sabretooth]

Yeah who was it that tried to take over tna. Hulk...

 

[Smart Marx]

Mr. Hogan seems to forget why it was called "Immortal"...

 

[Sabretooth]

Oh really longer than wwe. You've only got 70 years to go

 

[Hoss]

That entire promo was basically wasted for Flair to just come out and say "I'll do it" with almost no resistance..
