TNA General Discussion Thread

Did these guys seriously slap an Impact plate over GFW or is this just for the graphic?

It's hilarious either way, I hope it was worth it.

Yeah the situation involving the name with GFW/Impact is so confusing it could give you a headache. As for my thoughts on tonight's show hmm the ATT segment was the strongest thing segment wise on the show, and Taya vs Rosemary was the strongest match on the show which made it average for me tonight. We had two matches shown with GFW/Impact talent outside of the company whether it was the Fatal Five Way or the GFW Tag Title Match, I like how the company is branding themselves out there more especially Japan a market they don't really do shows for all that much.

I'm still wondering what the hell are they doing with the X-Division are they going to push a top or face? Xavier won the Super X Cup and he deserves an automatic shot, but where was Dutt and Petey this week to help Xavier with Trevor Lee's antics? Also I really did a good chuckle seeing Drake acting like Flair in his Underwear after Action stripped him down. Taya vs Rosemary are two of the best Women Wrestlers in the business today and I thought tonight was a teaser from what's to come for them going forward. Their will be blood..oh yes there will be blood.

I know Dutt and Lee have been killing it since Slamm15, but I have to think Xavier is being setup to run with it after that performance in the Super X Cup. He could not come in to play.

I believe Impact is trying to build their intentional audience more than their domestic one since they do really well overseas and we'll see about Canada after BFG. They do need to do more shows outside th US to justify it, though.

I can't wait to catch Taya and Impact after seeing them kill it in Lucha. Too bad they ran their last episode.

Yeah I heard the BFW Tickets are sold out and you can only get Tickets for their 5 nights of taping so if that is true I'm happy to hear their were legit fans in Canada who want to see the talent in the company. Yeah Taya is great in LU, and she's come off strong like a champ even without a belt around her waist. The sooner the better they need to put the title on her and let her roll with it.

They sold at 28000 seats?

I'm glad their fortune is turning around.

Between Sienna, Rosemary and Taya they got three monsters who should all be champ at any given time. It'll be interested time in the Knockouts division.

Apparently so, but from what I hear they might be running the show in the another building in the complex and I think the Pavillion building runs around 2,500

Even 2,500 is pretty decent. A step up from some years ago.

 

[Kairi HoHo]

Oh for sure and I remember the dark days for them where the whole building was dark due to the lack of fans in the Arena or Venue they were in. Hopefully the crowd in Canada is hype the whole show.

Weren't they in a high school gym like 2 years ago? It was bad.

I'm really hoping Canada pops for them something huge. They need to get over.

Make Team Canada return and they'll. Lol. I wish that happened but except Petey, none would worth it -as Roode and EY is in WWE it's impossible. Still, would like to see Scott D'Amore on TV as a manager. Liked him a lot.

Thinking about a Team Canada without Roode and EY gives me the willies. I'd rather they do it WWE. Although EY is hot with SAnity right now.

I definitely think D'Amore and Petey should be a duo and tear it up.

I was kidding because TNA brought a lot from the past recently. Wrestlers, factions -LAX, it's great. They should focus on new things and they are also great at creating stars. Who would have thought that Derrick Bateman was going to be a star one day? Or Eli Drake.

Eli Drake is killing it. Although, I think they're beginning to sleep on EC3 like they did with Bobby Roode towards the end.

Has EC3 not been like THE guy for the past few years though? That's a legit question, because it always seemed he was on top when I would check in from time to time but maybe not. Right now his storyline isn't super over or relevant, I'm sure they could use him in a better capacity but I just figured they moved him aside for a minute to let Eli, Moose, Impact and others have some of the spotlight to build their status.

On the point of Eli Drake though... Man I love that dude. He's basically merged Ric Flair with Conor McGregor and it makes an awesome champion, especially as heel. I have no doubt he could and eventually will get over nicely as a face too. He's a great find for Impact and I absolutely don't want him to drop the belt to Johnny.

 

[Cwalker]

Yeah only reason EC3 isn't really involved in the main event scene is cause he's been the focal point of the company the past 3-4 years. Time for him to get out the spotlight. He'll be World Champ again in 2018.

When Eli first debuted with The Rising, I wasn't high on him and I don't TNA was either. But he's grown; especially as Champ. The Flair/Connor comparison is spot on. But this being the biggest show of the year, I'd be shocked if the baby face doesn't get the win in the main event
