The General Wrestling Thread

Did you see where his seat was? I don't think he has that kind of arm

Lol.

To be fair, it was a comp, and it was closer than it looked. Also, a former TNA wrestler was in our group, so VOW got the same treatment as ex-talent.

It really helps to wear a mask. Not a single person harassed the person all night.

Who was it?

Why Impact never comes to Milwaukee is beyond me.

How did the live crowd sound?

The crowd was up and down all night, it seemed. Popped big for some things...like Chavo and Hernandez sounded hella over but needed motivation to get off their hands elsewhere like during the opening stages of the Lethal Lockdown match.

How was it live?

The show was shit, so I am curious.

ABOUT FUCKING TIME.

Took way too long for Bubba to finally turn.

Now Hardy, Sting, Hogan and everyone else gets to look like fools for not realizing it sooner.

The turn was silly...Bubba as a face is sillier, but the turn was silly considering Bubba has actually had physical altercations with A&8s.

Also, there needs to be some reveal as to how it was all set up and why...otherwise, shit makes no sense.

IMO, AJ Styles needs to be the guy to come in and take out Aces and 8's.

JMO, I guess. He needs to be that Sting/DDP of TNA against the nWo/A&8s.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Larry crowd was on fire for just about everyhing. A great crowd that saved it live because the matches were garbo.

Joey Ryan, Gail kim, the Robbie's were the least over. Crowd hated Robbie match, loved the rest.

They could have something special here with AJ if they hold their load...a la Sting 1997 although obviously not waiting exactly a year.

TNA needs AJ (forget the logic because they're a stable which has lost time and again, but forget it) to help them. From AJ's POV, fuck TNA. They didn't believe him when his personal life was going down the drain and then Hogan wants to prevent him from getting a title shot?

Imagine it. Over the next few months, Bubba can beat Hardy again, he can beat Sting, he can beat Angle, Joe, whoeverthefuck.

Finally, AJ gets back in the picture down the road and is their white knight.

Not terrible.

Had a great time at the PPV! Some of the matches could have been better. I think TNA missed a huge opportunity by not having Hernandez and Guerrero take the tag belts. The crowd would have blown the roof off of the building.

I let Warner know how the championship match was going to turn out as the show started. There is a reason that Aces and Eights hasn't unveiled their president.

As far as the tag match is concerned, Aries and Roode have done a great job together, and if they don't lose Roode due to his contract issue, this could be an epic heel team, like what the WWE wanted when they put Austin and H's together. I could see them ending up with more titles in the future.

The crowd would have loved for Hernandez/Chavo to win but it would have been a poor move in the larger scheme of things.

FWIW Roode resigned this afternoon and that's why he was on the show

I thought it was a one day contract so he could go tonight.

The Rob Terry face-turn was hella over in London, but obviously, a Alamo Dome crowd was going to shit on it.

Good to hear that the crowd was great live.

It didn't look like it was on fire all night from my stream, but it was definitely popping at certain points.

Magnus was treated like a god on those shows......which made it all the more bizarre when Hogan hands the title shot to Bubba. lol

 

[SuperKevin]

Devon really needs to drop the TV title soon because at this point there's a ton of wasted talent on the roster that should be competing for that title but won't because they don't factor into the Aces & 8s storyline. They also need to do something to expand the X Division. I'm pretty sure the entire division is just Kenny King, Xema Ion, and Christian York right now.

I like Magnus a lot. He's got a ton of potential in my opinion. I wish he kept the gladiator gimmick though

I'm on record saying Magnus needs to be pushed. Young (rare in TNA, even the homegrown talent is in their mid-30's at this point), got the look, good mic skills, charismatic.

I think he's got more ability in the ring than he's shown so far (working with quality talent could definitely help, but TNA lacks those workhorse types).

I saw him in Ring Ka King, and he was one of their main heels, and he was insanely over.

Aries takes the X-Division, Roode takes the TV title. I really think they will get that push and be the ones primarily taking on Aces and 8's over the next couple months.

Really not sure if Aries would take that "demotion" back to X Division performer though
