Impact Wrestling Live Discussion Thread - (8/23/12) - Open Fight Night

[Dod Draper]

Pretty sure TNA forgot about their champion and that they need to build a title match for No Surrender.

Was going to say, criminal underuse of Aries.

 

[Chris]

Since when have the A&8s had 35 members?

 

[MaNonTheMoon]

Yeah, the riot between The MEM and TNA was way better than this.

 

[Chris]

That was pretty shitty.

 

[Dod Draper]

Well, that was an anti climax.

 

[Andrew]

Weird ending

 

[Dale]

Thought it was quite a groovy ending myself.

Note to HBK, that's how to sell a shattered / broken arm, not rolling around like a cunt on it.

I lived Impact tonight and I'm digging the Aces & 8s storyline. One thing that I know is if the Aces & 8s is made up of actors (I didn't recognize one of them) it's gonna kill TNA's recent run of good Pay Per Views.

^^^^names linked have been Luke Gallows, Wes Briscoe, Chris Masters.... and I think the general consensus is that Jeff Jarrett will be the one behind it all

It would be awesome to see Masters and Gallows, Briscoe not so much.

 

[Chriss]

I like this A&8s storyline but I have to say that I already have enough of it. They need to make few steps forward with it because now it's starting to get a little boring.

The chances are that the majority of those guys who got their ass kicked throughout the night were just local talents or guys from OVW who in the end up won't being a big part of the storyline but at the minute are actually keeping the identities of the main guys a secret. The guys who did over Aries at the end are the main ones always seen on the screen and i'm 99% sure one of them is Mike Knox, he just has his build and everything.

The real Aces and 8s were the ones that fought Aries, Hardy and RVD in the last 1-2 mins of the show, the rest were decoys.

I've seen people compare this brawl to the Riot, the only difference I found is DW's commentary.

I think Joe and Ray are involved with Aces and 8S.

 

[Nevermore Arcanum]

Just now caught this. (No cable, so wrestling comes from Youtube a day after it actually airs).

Damn, what a botch fest. Tess and Tara botched half their moves, but I doubt that surprised anyone. AJ and RVD even botched one! That was the only bad point. Waaaay to many botches.

Why was Robbie E even in that match? Even if he got the sub win, there's no way he's catching up. Same with Anderson. Even though he won, his title shot is gone (unless the top five are injured somehow).

Aces and Eights were awesome! There were about 40 of them, and it was everywhere! I've never seen an arena wide brawl before. That, that was awesome.

One of the poorer Impacts of recent weeks.

Main event was the best match and I agree that Ray should have won.

Oddly I quite enjoyed the test results angle, the woman playing the lawyer was actually really good, like the bit when she told Daniels not to touch her lol.

Best line of the night was Hogan's "If you even look at my daughter again I will rip your heart out and feed it to my dog!"

Sting's jorker rontine is getting annoying as is A&E, closing brawl was a bit weak.
