Is it because you guys can't read?

 

[Cyrus Riddle]

I can read, but I was caught between looking on here, replying to someone's post on facebook in a wrestling group, and watching the actual PPV.

 

[Sabretooth]

A sad panda? Never heard that one before :

 

[Wang Chung]

Is it because you guys can't read?

No i can't I just type for the hell of it. Remember. Just like its TV and a its a movie so we should not get upset when things don't make sense.

 

[Wang Chung]

[Sabretooth]

I hope you got that was a reference to Inferno claiming we couldn't read...

Right. How stupid of me. It doesn't have to make sense, it's only a forum discussion thread.

well guys. It was a decent PPV and great LD. Thanks for the good discussion guys.

Probably the most fun LD in a while. Thanks, guys, for joining in tonight.

Finally watching the show. Here are my live thoughts. If you have the patience to read this whole post, I commend you and you get a free Snickerdoodle cookie.

- Eh, wasn't a fan of the opening segment with Bully Ray and that Buckethead guy. The fans didn't really care. Which is unfortunate because it's a great cause but I just didn't see anyone in there caring other than the cheering after every sentence.

Joe vs. Magnus - Excellent opener. Gottdamn! Much, much better than I expected and I expected a great match. Loved this.

---------------------------------

- Mr. PEC-Tacular isn't that bad in the ring. He's decent. Thought he was much worse from what I've heard.

Tara/Jesse vs. ODB/Young - A match that we all expected. Pretty much a comedy match and that's all I really wanted it to be and it did it's job. Pretty entertaining.

---------------------------------

Ryan vs. RVD - Very good match. Surprised, actually. Haven't been impressed with RVD at all over the past year or so but this was really good. That spinning DDT by Ryan was fabulous. RVD wins. Fine with me. I'm sure we'll see Ryan with a singles title soon enough.

- Matt Morgan!! What a carbon footprint. Maybe we can see Morgan with a singles title soon...? I love that man, though.

----------------------------------

- I'M TELLIN' YA! ABYSS AND JOSEPH PARK ARE TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!! THEY HAVE TO BE!! No? Alright. Probably not.

- BLACK HOLE SLAM!!!!!!!!!5r11!!!!!!!!!oSW8!!!!111NK

- Bully Ray as a babyface is so odd but really awesome. The fans love him. Bunch of sheep :

DOC vs. Park - Very enjoyable match. Told a great story and Parks was excellent as usual. That fucking black hole slam was insane. I totally thought when they went outside after that, Parks would go under the ring and come out with Abyss' mask on him. But still a really great story-telling match and that's a big part of what wrestling is about. Story-telling. It did just that. Great job by both men.

-----------------------------------

- Daniels dancing on the ramp while he goes to the ring is phenomenal. He just doesn't give a fuck : His dance moves are legit.

- DOUBLE FUCKING GANGNAM STYLE!!!!! Holy shit, that was great.

Daniels/Kazarian vs. Chavo/Hernandez - Awesome tag match. Started off strong and ended strong. Everything in the middle was exciting as all hell. Kaz and Daniels are just amazing together.

------------------------------------

- DAMMIT!! YOU FUCKERS TEASED ME WITH THE BEER MONEY REUNION!! FUUUUUUUUU

- WHAT A LAST CALL SUPER KICK!!!

Storm vs. AJ vs. Roode - Awesome triple threat! All 3 of these men were perfect at using the triple threat rules to their advantage. One of them taking one guy out and focusing on the other without any interruptions. Great finish. I WANTED THAT FUCKING BEER MONEY REUNION!!! AJ getting pinned I think just adds fuel to the "heel turn" fire. Great match.

------------------------------------

- Here's hoping we get another Aces & Eights reveal during or after this Devon/Angle match. Looking forward to this.

- Uh-oh. Aces & Eights are here. Just reveal the leader. We all know Devon isn't the leader.

- Gottdamn! Angle looks scared shitless. DOC just ran his ass over verbally. That was great.

Devon vs. Angle - Meh. I wasn't really interested in this match at all. Really the best part of this match was AFTER the match with DOC verbally berating Angle yelling "YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE DEAD! YOU'RE DEAD!" Great shit. But the match itself was pretty lackluster. Definitely worst match of the night, by far. Main event time!

-------------------------------------

- Good God! Aries is gonna kill Hardy one day when he pushes the ladder from Hardy. Last week on Impact it was bad but that was just fucking nuts. Hardy is taking some seriously dumb (but awesome) bumps already.

- JAPANESE ARM DRAG INTO THE LADDER!!!!

- DID SOMEONE PULL UP THE TITLES WHEN HARDY WAS TRYING TO REACH FOR THEM?!? WHEN ARIES DROPKICKED THE LADDER, I COULD HAVE SWORN SOMEONE PULLED UP THE TITLES SO HARDY COULDN'T GET THEM!!!

- IT HAPPENED AGAIN!! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON?!?!?!?

- HAHAHAHA IT WAS ARIES!!! AWESOME!!!

- What a Twist of Fate on the ladder!!!!

Aries vs. Hardy - Fucking insane ladder match!! Very fun. I love that they fucked up all of the regular TNA ladders, so they had to bring in a friggin' ladder straight out of Home Depot. So awesome.

--------------------------------------

Excellent show. They had about 3 weeks to build up this show. They pretty much announced the full card 2 weeks in advance and they were set for the go-home show and they delivered. Great job. Turning Point definitely gets two thumbs up from me. Only "bad" match was Devon/Angle and even that didn't leave a sour taste in my mouth because of DOC at the end.
