/TNA/ - Impact Wrestling general

It's rather early, lad.

>>1757834
This isn't a gamethread, it's a general going up now that the weekly WWE spam has finished.

>>1757841
Oh.

TNA is hyping this match on twitter, though it's an undercard feud that hasn't had a lot of screen time. There's been one singles match and a lot of meet-ups in X-Division multi-mans, plus some put-downs in talking segments.

Based Spud

>>1757871
I should add that Spud was basically the voice of the last ONO (X-Division X-Travaganza), doing a talk-show segment to introduce the indie guys on the show. The same night, Sutter ended up winning the final ladder match to become #1 Contender to DJ Z's X-Division title. I would guess that this match is part of the X-Division build to BFG.

>Empty Arena Match

...so what makes this different to every TNA show?

>>1757979
Impact having a match taped away from the crowd has become a bit of a staple, but using the arena rather than the Hardy Compound is a change. Usually an "Empty Arena" match is meant to be a brawl too brutal to put in front of a live crowd.

The other match they're hyping is Rex's debut. He did a lengthy Q&A over facebook to help sell the match to Impact's base. I'm going to watch it tomorrow.

Impact has revealed another of the undercard matches. It'll probably be OK because Eddie.

People only care about this shit show because of broken matt and BROTHER NEGRO

Big Tunes Billy with a quick video update on purchasing TNA:

about 1:01 in
https://a.pomfe.co/bfmakkl.mp4

tl:dr, Billy says that HE alone is gonna try to purchase TNA, says that he has the $$$ to get it done with no assistance from other investors refuting previous reports.

>>1764989
Some nice shots at the dirt sheets, too. I guess Meltzer doesn't have Billy's number.

Fuck no. Would rather have her as a manager.

but impact doesn't need ring announcer, JB is the best in the biz

>>1768214
great mother of gods she could get it

>>1768236
Don't worry too much. Raquel is technically a wrestler.

>>1768588
she was in the gauntlet i guess theyre training her

>>1757871

any verdict from the footfags here?

>>1768715
Pretty good

>>1768658
According to the krauts she's working on the indies and has had over 30 matches this year. She mainly wrestles at BELIEVE (a school promotion run by Hall and Zybyszko), so I guess that's where she's training?

According to Billy Corgan, aside from Sinclair Broadcasting, WWE also made an offer to buy TNA (they are interested in the tape library, obviously)


Billy needs to buy it up quick

>>1771591
>According to Billy Corgan
Big Tunes Billy hasn't said shit about this. Stop getting worked by dirtsheets.

if wwe buys us out what do we do bros...

>>1771591
>According to Billy Corgan, aside from Sinclair Broadcasting, WWE also made an offer to buy TNA (they are interested in the tape library, obviously)
It was reported in the New York Times. The dirt sheets are claiming that Corgan is the only serious buyer.

having the golden years on the network would be sweet though

bunch of chris daniels matches i want to rewatch

>>1772494
Billy's been hinting at digital distribution. You don't need to lose today's TNA to get easy access to yesterday's.

how many weeks of tapings do they do at once

>>1775159
4 weeks worth a month

>>1757826
>rounds
>points
>judges

Sounds like stupid shit.

>>1757826
>Look at us. W-We try to be just like UFC. C-Cool right?

MM didn't look so good on the youtube recap show yesterday

>>1775485
It allows for different finishes and adds tension to a time limit match.

>>1775500
MMA inherited judged rounds from wrestling. This is just bringing back a gimmick that you're too young and spoonfed to remember.

Aron needs to hit the weights, he's getting fat

>>1776522
he's never really been in the greatest shape

>>1776522
Stills from the indies had him looking even worse, so at least he's made some effort for TNA.

>>1771591
Bill should buy them, then sell WWE the tapes, and with the money invest in the company

>>1776575
Meltzer and Alvarez did a back of the envelope on the value of the tape library. At the going rate of $500/hour for 14 years of work, it's worth maybe a million dollars.

>>1775915
How so? I thought she seemed a bit more relaxed and natural.

>>1778021
i mean her outfit and stuff

looked like a nurse scrubs get up

>>1757826
I missed a few weeks. What the fuck even happened with the titles? Is this the new world title? Did they ditch the x division titles?

>>1778529
this one is replacement for king of the mountain title that lashley threw in the trash

x division still there, djz is champion

>>1778540
So they replaced the King of the Mountain title which replaced the TV title which replaced the Global title which replaced the Legends title all of which had their own gimmicks and stipulations on how they should be defended which TNA ended up ignoring in the end and just turned them into singles titles?

>>1776522
>>1776524
>>1776528
More like Aaron needs a gimmick fast. He's literally vanilla right now, white trunks and all.

>>1778549
4/5 are from the JJ/Dixie era.

desu, though, I've not been very hyped about this Grand Championship gimmick. So far it's not been so good. That's probably because I don't believe wrestling needs to try to be more like MMA.

>>1778579
Worked MMA promotions could be fun to watch but it's retarded to have a singles title about fake MMA. Especially when the only MMA guy there is Lashley and Davey Richards and they don't wrestle in the worked MMA style

>>1778579
Again, it's not really taking wrestling towards MMA, it's going back to the kind of rules catch wrestling had when it was an Olympic sport.

>>1757826
ONO September has been bootlegged to http://watchwrestling.uno/watch-tna-one-night-only-september/. Haven't watched it but Lashley vs. Eddie should be good.

>>1782765
The card (according to Cagematch) is:

>Mixed Tag: Eli Drake & Sienna vs. Grado & Jade
>BroMans vs. The Tribunal
>DJ Z vs. Moose
>Shera vs. Spud
>Crazzy Steve vs. Tyrus
>No DQ: Madison vs. Marti Bell
>Andrew Everett vs. Drew Galloway
>Braxton Sutter vs. Mike Bennett
>Eddie Edwards vs. Lashley

So the general theme is X-Division vs. Heavyweights. Josh & the Pope are on commentary, they'll probably be giving even fewer fucks than usual.

>>1757826
what's up bridgettefuckers? having a good time watching man"drama"?
