TNA Wrestling General Discussion Thread

[Apoho Creed]

We are two weeks away from Slammiversary and things really heating up now. Blanchard vs Jake Crist was a good opener to the Match showing off how T-Bone Steak tough Tessa is. Tessa didn't feel the Women in the Knockouts Division were not at her level, and as she wants to stick up for those very Knockouts Sami Callihan is the perfect feud and guy for her to face. I imagine next week we find out it's going to have some kind of Stipulation you know Sami will want her to have to beat him under his rules.

Edwards vs Fulton was a good follow up to the Opener and Impact finally listened to me what Kross should be doing. Kross kidnapped Sandman and was doing what he does best, and that is mane people to death in so many ways. Edwards losing it later made sense considering the love Eddie has for Sandman...BUT FUCK ME...Eddie biting at the Face of Kross and embracing his insanity even further was funny and cool at the same time. Alisha telling Eddie not to do it, and hello when even if your Parent told you to not to do something it made you want to do even more. Why even talk to him Alisha how about call the Cops we are seeing a possible Murder going on and to me did they kill off Kross? I mean Kross has been troubles with Impact and his Contract wanting out, is this their way to get him on TV for a few Months to cool off? I hope that, but safe to say Kross is going to be badly scarred up if Eddie didn't kill him.

Moose vs Dreamer. Fine I'm not going to see a banger of a Match because of how slow and lethargic is these days, but good enough to get some heat for Moose vs Rvd heading into Slammiversary.

I found the Segment where Taya went to Rosemary's Home hoping for some aid vs Su Yung and Havok funny and stupid at the same time. Taya is a Heel, she shouldn't need anyone to help her you're on your own lady. Also lol thinking Rosemary would actually give her a Title Shot straight up. The Su Yung vs Valkyrie Match was okay, but the Story he is were getting a Monster's Ball out of it!! This is for sure a Playhouse for Su Yung, Rosemary, and Havok, but will Taya come to play as well? People don't understand Taya can take to the Extreme, she did in in Mexico, and in Impact a few times, but this is a different Animal. I can easily see Taya just hiding at all cost and letting the other three ladies merk each other to death, for her to pick up the scraps later.

Cocky Ace Austin just got folded as we saw the return of MAN..I MEAN THE RETURN OF SUC...TJP. TJP is back in Impact Wrestling which is actually like a Debut, because he never really wrestled as himself, and when he did Impact put him back with a Mask or Costume. I hope they have a plan for TJP because he beat Austin one of their future talents that is going to be important to their Company so don't fuck it up Impact.

Rich Swann vs. Michael Elgin vs. Johnny Impact. Another fun Match with all parties involved as it bridges the gap of the two feuds together into one. Swann getting revenge for Mack as he got the win was cool and it shows maybe down the line he'll be in the hunt for the Impact World Title. I was going nuts when Cage showed up, didn't expect that like TJP and he easily kicked Elgin's ass here. I would of rather of had either guy touching the other let that happen at the PPV, but still it was a great moment to see Cage is okay and ready to give us the Hoss Battle of the Year with Elgin.

I only hope TJP finds that spark that made him like-able once.

Tessa is one of the few women who make me fuck with her inter-gender matches. Her match with Brian Cage was GOAT.

 

[Apoho Creed]

That Six Man Tag could be really fun and with Cage returning to Impact last week we'll find out how healthy is Cage heading into Slammiversary. He's going to be healthy to beat Elgin that's for damn sure!​

 

[Smart Marx]

Su Yung and Havok gonna be a force to reckon with. Taya and Rosemary working together, though? Talk about strange bedfellows.

Fallah and Sami could be the sleeper of the night since I expect the six-man to be decent.

 

[Apoho Creed]

One Impact away from Slammiversary and I must say my hype went up from a 7 to 10 after this Impact Show. The North picked up a good win vs The Deaners as they are slowly building that Tag Team up getting them ready for LAX or Rascalz after Slammiversary. Su Yung/Havok vs Rosemary/Taya was okay and I knew it would end with some kind of DQ, and theirs a decent build going with this Monster's Ball Match coming and I say bring it on.

TJP vs Ace Austin 2 next week!

I liked the Segment involving Kross and Edwards in the Church in Boston. In some weird way they are trying to make Eddie like Daredevil from Marvel, where he can do some sinning and come back to a Church and confess them. Kross telling the Pastor how much time do you have to listen to all my Sins ha I'm sure it's a Book long Kross. It should be a interesting First Blood Match between Eddie and Kross pretty sure both guys are going to bust open the other and us not have a victor from it.

Loved the Bravo Segment apparently he has guts in him only when the people he's talking about are not in the Room with him. Bravo/Impact vs Mack/Swann should be a fun one with Bravo taking a hella beating I bet.

Sami Callihan vs Bahh/Segment with Tessa. The Match before the Segment was good, those two in past history have always had quality Matches together and this was no different. Callihan freaking killed it on the Microphone and got alot of heat with what he said and did to Tessa Blanchard. My hype level for that has increase to the point I wanna see Tessa beat him to death, and honestly Tessa doesn't need to win the Match just keep up with him with every moment and Tessa's respect and greatness goes up levels I feel.

Kid/LAX vs The Rascalz. A good Match and good teaser of what we will see a the PPV. It only takes one mistake for the Rascals to become new Tag Team Champions shape up LAX. It should been interesting how that Match ends, but however it ends it shall be one of the best Matches for the PPV no doubt.

Elgin/Cage Segment. Both guys looked great in this and it shows Elgin is an Animal that someone like Cage hasn't dealt with before in his Career. I mean Elgin kicked Callis ass for pleasure and also put Cage through a Table trying to show his dominance. I popped when Cage got up and they were striking it out because I know these two Hosses are going to destroy each other.

 

[Apoho Creed]

Champions defending their Titles Night going on for Impact. The North defending their Impact Tag Titles vs Daga and Ortiz. They have tagged in a Six Man before in Impact, but never as a true Tag Team. I wonder if Daga and Ortiz can get back the Tag Titles or will The North be able to hold onto those Titles with the experience factor in their favor going into the Match tonight. Prince is getting a chance of a lifetime winning that multi-contendership Match last week vs The Golden Card Jake Crist. I feel that Match should good, and speaking about opportunities Havok has one as well to end Taya's Knockouts reign. I can't say I wouldn't mind it, but I'm not sure Havok is not where she needs to be right now to rock that Knockouts Title.​

 

[Smart Marx]

Is LAX no longer a thing?

 

[Chris]

Is LAX no longer a thing?

I think I read their contracts expired after the last PPV so I don't think so. Supposedly AEW and WWE were both trying to sign em

Konnan and Ortiz are both advertised for this match. So did only Santana leave?

Oh shit idk I didn't even read HoHo's post bc I don't really keep up with Impact lmao I thought both Ortiz and Santana didn't resign but it looks like Ortiz did I guess.

 

[Sabretooth]

I've been out of TNA for so long it seems like another lifetime that I watched it.

When it comes to Impact this week not a bad Show Bahh vs Moose was a really physical opener for the Show. Moose found out never to mess with Bahh during Catering, and while it wasn't easy for Moose he's still rolling and maybe to a Impact World Title program sooner rather than later.

I really enjoyed the conversation Dreamer had with Tessa backstage. He might be passed his prime physically, but the guy can still talk it up when he needs to. Tommy puts her over and her legacy, and says he just wants to make the business better. He wants to help because Tessa’s making a difference in this business. He wants to stand with a great woman for the betterment of wrestling.

Just after that we see Su Yung telling in her own way she's going to kill Havok as if we've forgotten she did the same thing Rosemary and came back from being buried alive:rofl:

Man I love Su Yung, and I hate some of the things Impact has done with her Character they need to do more of this creepy shit please.

Madison Rayne /Kiera Hogan vs. Alexia Nicole/Jordynne Grace. Solid Tag with Rayne and Hogan working really well together and punishing Nicole who worked the majority of the Match. Post Match stuff was better than the Match to be honest, with Rosemary returning! I've said it before with me saying Rosemary needs to take time off, but they don't want to listen and they keep putting a less than mobile and healthy Rosemary out there for sizzle rather than substance.

Ace Austin is embracing his douchey like attitude trying to get Alisha to break with Eddie. He's tried it all to get into the head of Edwards and it's working! If Alisha and Ace become a thing this feud might truly heat up then, and unless it happens I might not really interested in this feud going forward.

We get a Taya video package with John E. Bravo, she mocks him and makes him walk her dog to go to the bathroom. She makes him pick up the shit with his pocket square. Taya was a spectacular bitch here I liked this Segment as well.

RVD/Rich Swann/Willie Mack vs. The Rascalz: I love Mack & Swann as a team, build them up for a match with the North. The match was good and fun, but didn’t hit that next level think they are capable of.

The Deaners vs. Desi Hit Squad. Technically, the match was ok, but it was just bland and really lethargic and went too long. At least the videos from the farm could be fun.

The Segment before the Main Event with oVe had me dying. Sami is wondering where is Jake and Fulton and they took the Monster to Arby's! We put Monsters in a Cage not take them to Arby so what they can go on a killing spree I'm with Sami here ha.

Tommy Dreamer/Tessa Blanchard vs. Sami Callihan/Dave Crist. This was solid match, with only Tessa bringing some real fire. I wonder if Impact will ever give a win for Tessa over Sami this could of been a good spot to do so.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

When are we gonna get the Cage/Elgin rematch? Bound For Glory?

 

[Deezy]

Make the rascalz serious and they'd be money.

The way that Dez guy sold strikes was
