NWA: Total Nonstop Action #23 & #24 Watch Along

[Chris]

AJ gonna start a group called the ACTs to combat them

 

[Chris]

Another pet peeve is when refs get distracted by the people outside the ring who haven't even got on the apron yet....you're trying to do too much smh

 

[Smart Marx]

Basically you start with 6 people, eliminations, only way to be eliminated is to be pinned and submitted by all the remaining wrestlers in the match, winner is the guy who has a fall on all 5 of his competitors.

 

[Chris]

But that's easily rationalized with wrestling refs not being the brightest and getting distracted by shiny things

 

[Smart Marx]

EZ getting that title shot.

Feels like the kind of thing you'd need a chart on the tron to keep track

 

[Chris]

Oh that's cool af Smark, I think irl it'd have to be kinda rare bc it seems like it'd have to be a long af match bc if not you run into another pet peeve of mine which is 2 out of 3 falls or gauntlet type matches ending in much quicker finishes than singles matches would lol

 

[Chris]

But holy shit imagine that being like an hour long main event for a top title

For sure, that's a problem. The worst example was in that All Wheels Wrestling pilot

 

[Leon TrotSky]

All but one of the matches were FIVE minute Iron Man matches.

 

[Chris]

I guess you could downsize it to 4 people as well with the same concept and I think it'd be really cool still

 

[Leon TrotSky]

One saw 4 pinfalls in those 5 minutes

 

[Smart Marx]

Oh yeah, it would definitely go an hour and be the main event.

 

[Smart Marx]

I hate quick falls, too, but yeah imagine a few of them would be in the match, but probably not too many since it would be given time.

 

[Chris]

I'm okay with them sometimes tbf especially if like a distraction or something is involved
