NWA: Total Nonstop Action #20 Classic Watch Along

[Chris]

Yeah we heard Voodoo Child on that one smackdown lol

 

[Chris]

That was so hype

 

[Smart Marx]

That situation too is one TNA handled instatly too, I think it was Smark that posted the news story from 2002 of them mentioning it, so it's not like a retroactive cancelling on their part either, they probably never reaired the footage one time. So I can respect that

Oh yeah, they got flake immediately and TNA was on top of it.

 

[Chris]

They using Papa Dave to hype up Styles/Lynn

 

[Chris]

He ain't wrong tho

 

[Chris]

Remember when Jerry Lynn was the heel and randomly attacking Styles at gas stations

 

[Smart Marx]

This matchup should feel overdone by now, but their matches are so good.

 

[Smart Marx]

I memba that, but man is young cocky AJ such a great heel, though.

 

[Chris]

Yeah they've fought a ton but idec lmao it's like Lynn/RVD. Took 15 years before I got tired of that shit....not counting all the years RVD was in WWE and they didn't fight

 

[Smart Marx]

Crazy this was called the NWA X Championship originally then they slowed changed it to TNA X-Division Championship.

 

[Chris]

Yeah X Championship sounded so weird in general regardless if it was NWA or TNA lol

 

[Chris]

I tried calling it that in the OPs since it was the official name and I was like nah this is fuckin' dumb

 

[Smart Marx]

It was supposed to be named after the X Games, but x-division def sounds better.

 

[Chris]

Huh, never pieced together the X Games comparison at all but that makes a ton of sense

 

[Smart Marx]

Yeah, Russo and Jarrett wanted TNA to be young and hip and X was popular in the early 2000s.
