I'm hearing from the grapevine that Madison Rayne is leaving Impact. Kinda sucks I really liked Madison with hubbie Josh doing Commentary maybe Don Callis joins the team again?

 

[Chris]

But she's the face of Impact

I'm hearing that Blake Christian has been signed by WWE! They said he wasn't at tapings this Week. Sucks for Impact always wanted to deepen the X-Division he has tons of potential. He could be taking that potential to the E now.

 

[Chris]

Well damn, I was excited for him in the X-Division but also good for Blake if true

 

[Chris]

Reno Scum both gone, didn't think they deserved a thread tho

I was randomly feeling nostalgic over 2013 TNA earlier, watched some Bully Ray segments with Aces & Eights. Man, that character was good. I do think they botched the potential of that stable, but overall a very entertaining time for TNA. Solid matches and angles. Bully Ray vs Styles was awesome from my memory of it.

A lot of people probably remember much older TNA more fondly, but this was one period where I started caring less about WWE and Impact really had my full attention until some point in 2014 where I just reverted back to my old ways again.

I have very mixed feelings about this era TNA. I think 2012 was an absolute great year for them including the start of the Aces & Eights stuff but I got tired of the biker shit pretty quick and it kinda became a joke to me before Bully saved it and even then I feel like Bully was fucking amazing but the stable still was pretty meh. Def get nostalgia for the era overall though for sure and Bully was my absolute favorite act in wrestling for a time during it.

Bully Ray vs AJ Styles at Bound for Glory 2013 was fucking tight. Even if the stable was kinda whatever. That version of Styles was so good, 'The Lone Wolf'.

Most of the Aces and Eights members were definitely not my cup of tea. Wes Brisco.

 

[Chris]

Yeah the build especially for AJ's run then was crazy good

 

[Marty McFourth]

This match is crazy good, holy shit. I can see why people rate this period of TNA so highly. They had plenty of homegrown stars back then like Styles, Daniels and Joe.

I notice all the best matches usually come back to the X-Division, I would say it is one of TNA's best divisions. At least in the past. I'm not sure of it's quality today.

 

[Chris]

Best match in TNA history

@CHRISTOPHER Is Amazing Red still this good? That move to Daniels at 5:45



I'm strongly considering getting Impact Plus at some point to watch some old PPV's. These past couple of days I've been watching old TNA shit on Youtube and been loving it.
