TNA Wrestling General Discussion Thread

[Apoho Creed]

I mean Lashley vs Callihan was really entertaining for the opener for Impact, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Sami does with Eddie Edwards this time around. Also Ishimori vs Sydal could be really great when Ishimori accepts his challenge, and I hope Ishimori doesn't lose the X-Division Title to the ever peaceful Sydal.​

 

[Apoho Creed]

Yeah Allie/Van Ness was a solid Match, kinda new Allie was going to go over and did it seem to anyone else that we might get a Gail Kim vs Allie program in the future? Teacher vs Student type of Storyline here, it felt that way after the Match Gail being the first one to embrace Allie after her title within the company. Gail has always been a great heel and she could do some great things with Allie who is no stranger to get nasty when she needs to. I still think the Main Event program is Rosemary and Taya, but I like that we didn't get any of that to show the Knockouts just as important as anything else in the company.

LAX vs Cult of Lee was a good opener and both teams came off looking strong as hell. More and more I'm not impressed with this version of LAX, but Santana could be a legit X-Division contender if they ever want to have him break away for singles. I agree for sure the Tag Team Division needs more stat.

Lashley vs oVe for what it was good and I was really interested in where Cage vs Lashley might go. In the words of Cyrus Truth HOSS BATTLEEE!!! Yeah it felt kinda weird for Cage just to show up win for their team and just walk away. I guess that's Cage character now he wants to be the next Walking Armageddon and he has no respect for Lashley, because in his eyes he thinks Lashley is weak because he handled oVe pretty easily.

I really fucking loved Sydal vs Ishimori, and yeah I'm not into Sydal the character, but the Match itself was great. I mean this special Spiritual Guru for Sydal it has to be Dutt right? I mean even Dutt brought it up and said Detective Dutt is going to figure this out next week, so you never know. Still the Match was back and forth and I thought Ishimori for sure had the win coming and Sydal turned it around. Maybe their was a title change here, due to Ishimori having some dates for Noah coming up and he couldn't cancel them so he had to drop the title? Either way it's a toss up for me which Match was better tonight the X-Division Title Match or the Impact World Title Match.

Aries vs Impact was a great Main Event and I'm happy as hell no Drake or Patron interfering in the Match it would of soured the performance of both guys. I mean this Match was so entertaining that it left me wanting a 30 minute Iron Man Match between the two to see what else they could give us. Aries even being the size that he is, is so smart in the way he approaches himself inside a Ring with any Wrestler he wrestles that night. Impact is always going to give ya that OH MY God moment, and he really upgraded his stock within the company with the Match he had with Aries tonight. The Aries I saw Thursday Night was the Aries I saw in ROH, and in his X-Division and World Title reigns before leaving to WWE.

Rosemary vs Taya 2 I believe, the last time they fought Taya won and they went away for months. I can't wait to see them wrestle tonight and we are also getting Feast or Fired tonight as well. It's going to set up the next batch of feuds to come, can't wait to see who wins Title Shots and one person will be sent home with a Pink Slip.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Can someone tell me what is a Demon's Dance is? It's certainly not something involving Musical Chairs, rather the thirst to break the other person in half I bet. Taya vs Rosemary are always great Matches so no fear in knowing they'll do their thing tonight and Callihan vs Moose yeah that's going to be great as well. Sami always does well with bigger guys, saw it in Lucha Underground before coming to Impact so we could have some entertaining Matches coming out way tonight!​

 

[Smart Marx]

Demon's Dance? Now I'm intrigued. TNA just loves to make matches out of thin air.

Did they even ever actually do that Red Wedding Match?

@Kairi HoHo are you making a thread for Redemption?

Yeah the Match was suppose to happen at BFG, but Taya's Visa troubles stopped the Match for happening. I guess they are trying to make it up for it now. I'll take it and yeah give me a few moments I'll make a Thread for it, not sure anyone will want to live discuss it though beside me.

Even when I'm not watching Impact I try to catch the PPVs. If you're here for a discussion, I'll join you.

I'm not sure why they don't just schedule the Red Wedding for the Redemption PPV.

 

[Apoho Creed]

It's the first Impact since Redemption ended and overall they had positive reviews from fans from the past and the ones currently. I just hope that momentum carries going forward, because I've seen Impact do this so much with a great showing and then multiple less than average weekly shows. It's the first week as Pentagon JR as Impact World Champion and I wanna see how he's treated to an audience who a good amount know who he is at all. Also is Aries the first man to face Pentagon or Fenix next in line, and if neither is it Drake's time to cash in? We also got two Title Matches tonight with LAX vs Drake/Steiner. I wonder if these guys will retain and their title win, was just a shocker type of win if not this Match is going to short and sweet like at the PPV to help Steiner being a stump out there at his age. Allie vs Taya is going down tonight as well for the Knockouts Title and I like Allie and and all, but Taya to me as a heel Champion is what the division needs and you can wrap in Rosemary and Su Yung to make the challenge for Allie even stronger. I mean Allie is going to have a hard time keeping that title especially with Tessa Blanchard now with Impact, any one of the ladies in the division could take the title away from her and roll with it. I wouldn't be shocked to see Allie drop it within another month or so.

Don't forget Cage and Moose are going to be mugging their opponents tonight so there's that as well:rofl:​

 

[Smart Marx]

Looks like a pretty star-studded Impact following Redemption. I always approve of putting a belt on Steiner.

 

[Apoho Creed]

It might not be Thursday yet, but why not start the discussion on what will happen on this week's Impact right? You know I thought Drake was going to hold off on using his Feast or Fired World Title shot for a later date, but I guess he's feeling good about himself and strong enough right now to beat Pentagon JR and get back the World Title. I don't see how if Impact had Pentagon JR win the title over Aries in the Triple Threat, then of all of a sudden have him drop it to Drake. I can't see that happening tomorrow night, but I've been shocked more times that I can count. The X-Division starts lately has been one of the more entertaining segments for Impact and it seems to be continuing with that Fatal Four Way. Who knows maybe it might mean who is gonna be involved in some kind of number one contendership for Sydal's X-Division title sooner rather than later? Last week Jacobs felt like interrupting Moose's Interview for his pleasure, but we found out their were more methods to his madness, as he wanted Moose to face Kongo Kong. Jacobs now has his wish and we will now get big man vs big man type of Matchup and I really hope Moose does kick Kong's ass as he stated to Jacobs as he was choking that man in the air. The Camera should of panned to his feet because if felt like Jacobs was three or four feet off the ground!

LAX lately haven't been the same since Homicide and Konnan have gone missing, and are falling apart the stems and if they want to get it together, it won't be easy to do that with DJ Z and Everett. I think I know who did this to LAX and it wraps together with the people of Impact's Staff being KO'ed and having a X on them, yeah didn't read spoilers, but it's pretty easy to figure out who is doing all of this if you've watched Lucha Underground the past few Seasons. Lastly apparently Sami Callihan kicked the crap outta Callis bravo, but now he could be in trouble, but with Impact they let shit slide anyway so I don't expect any punishment being dealt to Sami, rather a spot for Eddie Edwards to show up to the party.​

 

[Apoho Creed]

So what did everyone think about Impact this week? I wished some of you guys would watch it on Thursday with me, but I'm happy that this a group of you guys that chat it up with me weekly whether that day or within the few days about the Shows.

We start off Impact this week with Edwards mugging Grado and saving us from watching him wrestle this hooray. Edwards has fucking lost it and I thought this segment came off strong, goofy at times, but strong and it was effective in telling that Eddie is losing everything because of his obsession with killing Sami Callihan. I would of lost it too when Tommy said I talked to your Wife, why are you talking to his WIFE TOMMY AREN'T YOU MARRIED!?? Eddie hitting Dreamer with the Cane was going to happen, hopefully their is a payoff with their Match. I did find it funny after the Segment Tommy is pissed and says to D'Moore I'm not even a talent, wait didn't you have a Match for Impact over a Month ago, but you're not a talent lolz.

Valkyrie vs Rebel. It was a okay Match, why in the hell did Rebel get a welcome back and let's go Rebel chant for real. Right now Impact doesn't have a plan truly for Taya, it might be with Rayne, but isn't she feuding with Tessa. Right now Impact has three top flight heels and with Rosemary, Allie gone, the faces aren't as strong right now.

Flashback of the week Styles/Joe/Daniels then after that Sydal shows up, and we see wow Styles X-Division Champion and now we have Sydal on top of the Mountain talk about a downgrade.

KM & Fallah Bahh vs. Trevor Lee & Caleb Konley. Snoozefest don't watch it.

LAX Segment of the week and it seems Diamante still doesn't believe Kingston at all, and please tell me Eddie how did you get LAX a Title Shot next week, but not a Knockouts Title shot for Diamante?

Drake vs Moose. This Match was really fun, both guys always have great Matches with the other and I honestly for the live of me, I don't get why this Match with it's importance being at House of Hardcore instead of the Undercard for Cage/Sydal if not the Main because it's for the World Title you know Impact Staff.

Blanchard vs Hogan. In my opinion these two ladies had the best Match of the Show and man the hard work they showed in this Match made me a happy Panda. Hogan once again showing fire like no other and Tessa being ruthless as fuck getting the win with that facebuster on the Chair for the win.

Fantasma vs Crist. Pretty much was a Segment to show us the next feud for Sami and that's with Pentagon JR. I guess we could be getting a AAA vs oVe feud as a big feud, but it's going to be fun Matches no less.

Sydal vs Cage. We should of had a new Champion in Cage, but nah Impact wants to do Kong vs Cage and God I don't wanna see that unless they somehow weave in Sydal for the X-Division Title.

Impact ends with the guy who has been mugging talent and staff in the company for months and that dude is truly intimidating to look at with all the Tattoos. He looks like he could be a Gang in Jail, I heard his name is Killer Kross never heard of him. If anyone has seen his work any Matches I should check on him, and what your thoughts on him in your opinion please is helpful.

 

[Apoho Creed]

First of all can Impact do from this week till the end of time to have Impact Shows only at Windsor College!? The fans in these Tapings have loved everything and been into the Matches and to me it's great to see the fans so into the product from these Show like I am on this Forum. Now it's time to give my thoughts on the Show last night prepare people it's going to be a nice ride.

Fenix vs Swann. This week I saw two of the best Wrestling Matches in quite some time first it was Buddy Murphy vs Mustafa Ali from 205 Live this week and now I got another one from Fenix vs Swann from Impact. Man this Match was amazing and alot of people, might not notice their were botches in this Match, but these two professional covered them up really well during the Match. The hot Crowd made it even better as the guys were killing it in the ring and that Driver Fenix did on Swann was sick..and lol the spit coming out too after he kicked out woah. I would of rather of had Swann win this Match, because going into the future I see Swann being with Impact long term and Fenix and the rest of the LU guys might not be there months from now, we don't know the relationship they have going with Impact.

So we go from a great Match then Pentagon JR shows up erm..I MEAN Sami Callihan shows up dressed as Pentagon and he me thinking it was him. That was a pretty sweet of a Segment after with the beatdown with oVe and then the real Pentagon JR shows up and takes them all out. I would say the Match wrapped together with this Segment is one of the best Moments I'll treasure from them in 2018.

Killer Kross vs Fallah Bahh. Man it's one thing for Kross to mug a guy in the back and no one see apparently, but this guy has it in my opinion. The way he looks, his expressions in the ring and his style is a perfect fit to do something in Impact. The man has a Sleeper Hold as a finisher and I shall call it the Jailhouse Sleeper because he locks it in so deep, you are his bitch. I love how it took a Chair to stop him from Petey Williams which when they face each other most likely next week, Petey is going to be rip.

We got a package of a new Knockout coming to Impact and I KNOW THOSE CURVES ANYWHERE! IT'S SCARLETT BORDEAUX!!

Allie/Rayne vs Undead Bride/Su Yung. The Match was okay, but overbooked to hell to me. You see that the people care about a edger Allie vs Rayne as a talent and you see it in the Match, but at least we got a hot feud coming with Tessa Blanchard and Allie locked it most likely at Slammiversary.

I really dug that Aries hype package leading to his Match with Moose at Slammiversary. It was smart of the company to make him World Champion again he makes his Matches feel important. He pretty much said Moose had everything handed to him and he had to scratch and crawl to get to this point in his career. Dreamer's promo after getting mugged by Eddie Edwards gave me the feeling of ECW's Dreamer and they'll settle it at Slammiversary in a House of Hardcore Match!

Katarina vs. Rebel. Skip it's horrible and it's all Rebel's fault. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS YOU OUT SEXY TIME HANA YOU'RE CURSED GIRL!

Cage vs Kongo Kong. A very fun Hoss style Match with both guys doing things that big men aren't suppose to be doing. Like for real Cage doing head over heel flips and Kong doing a Rana on Cage Jesus.

Konnan vs Kingston on the Microphone versus each other was savage and man I can't believe Homicide and Hernandez are back together again! I've been wanting to see it for years and now we got it and now this shit is going to be amazing. Now just me Bloody Metal Fork licking Homicide with Super Mex doing dives over the ropes and we'll all have fun with this feud. Blood will be spilled!

 

[Apoho Creed]

I mean yeah guys that Six Man Tag is lovely and is going to be insane, but the biggest news to me is Tessa Blanchard signing a long term deal with Impact Wrestling. I heard she pretty much working with them in a small deal or week to week type of thing, and I feared after hearing WWE was on her mind to come back for the MYC 2. Now they have her locked up, man this Division has really gone in the positive direction and I hope it gets deeper and becomes the best thing in the company.​

 

[Crippler]

Alrite IMPACT I'm back, don't fuck this up.

 

[Lover Boy]

Impact are on fire right now. Slammiversary was absolutely fantastic, the best PPV that I have personally watched for a while. Last night's Impact was another solid weekly show, building storylines and doing what it's supposed to do.
