The Ghost of bps21

I'm watching the show on DVR now. So far...I hate that Devine won. I don't have anything against him...but Shelley's better. They put LAX over pretty strong, which was nice to see. All the talk they were spewing about LAX starting to dominate again made me happy because that usually means they're actually going to push something. And LAX is tremendous.

If they're counting Searching For Bobby Fischer than so am I. It's my alltime favorite movie...so I pick it.

The TNA folder NEEDS Jerean back.

No...I agree that it's not good.

I'm working on it. It's a process. ... I've already gotten a thread about tonights show to get 16 posts and the last few weeks there wasn't even a thread. Everyone who feels incllined to spark some life into the folder and has any ideas for topics to discuss please run with it. I've got some ideas but I didn't want to just start a bunch of topics all at once.

That post is fucking brilliant

The show goes on. I think that's what Owen would have wanted.

Let's settle on "compensated"

So...what we've learned is... stealing accounts and being a huge pain in the ass gets you unbanned... and whining gets you out of the guluag... Marvin...write this down.

Fair points. I do talk shit without even being shit. Sorry to play you like that. I'm...down.

Well said.

Orton vs. HHH vs. Cena: HHH (And I die a little inside) Edge vs. Taker: Taker (And I die a little inside...again) Flair vs. HBK: HBK (And now I'm completely dead on the inside) MITB: I would have said Kennedy...but he said he'd cash it in the same night...and I don't see that. I'll pick...MVP Mayweather vs. Show: Mayweather Batista vs. Umaga: Batista JBL vs. Finlay: JBL Bunnymania: The girls who took there clothes off Battle Royal: Kane. Chavo vs. Kane: Kane ... Yeah...I like none of this.

Just watched the episode. I liked it. The Heavy Metal stuff was great. As was Cartman. I liked it better than last week.

*wonders if that's enough to report King for*

You may want to think about getting his contact information now... Summer's a lot of posts away...

I keep forgetting that this is going to be outdoors (mostly because it doesn't really feel like WrestleMania to me). That makes the show more apealing to me. I love when they run stadiums for Mania. The atmosphere is always special (even if the event doesn't look like it wants to be)

I wish to report Dandy for being a tattle tale. No one likes a snitch.

Being stuck in the room with leena is a pretty good punishment. *NEVER PUSHES BUTTON*

I predict this feature won't last a month. You give the monkeys a button...you know they're going to push it.

That's whay I get for fast forwarding through the show every thursday. And...everyone vote for Gail Kim.

From weekly ppvs, to Fox Sports daytime, to monthly ppvs, to Internet tv, to late night Spike, to prime time Spike, to 2 hour primetime Spike... To LIVE 2 hour prime time Spike... Tomorrow is the first ever live Impact broadcast and this is its thread. We'll do a little blast from the way way past (like...nearly over 4 years now) and I'll write a preview. The NWA TNA Week 301 Preview Alex Shelley vs. Johnny Devine According to TNAwrestling.com, this match will open the live Impact. The winner gets a spot in the Xscape match for the X division title at Lockdown. Shelley had better win. The Xscape match (currently featuring Lethal, Dutt and Curry Man) becomes infinitely cooler if the Motor City Machineguns are in it. I'd think that's where they'd be heading with this...even if they are in the doghouse. Something tells me Devine won't be winning the first match of the live era. Match could be real good if they give them time. I'm mainly wondering if going live will affect their TERRIBLE habit of interrupting every match over 3 minutes with a commercial break. So I expect it to get 6 minutes with a 4 minute commercial break. Maybe I shouldn't be that negative. They opened their first primetime Impact with Joe and Daniels getting some time. Of course...this isn't Joe and Daniels. Rough Cut part 4 We'll also get another edition of Rough Cut with BG and Kip James. I've generally liked these. It's different, and I like that there finding a new way of getting a story accross rather than just having them run in on each other. Plus...it's kept them out of the ring. Of course the "payoff" is them actually getting into the ring...so...yeah. I think that Lockdown should be treated as a last chance for these guys. They've found a way to build to their match that doesn't suck...now they just have to go out and NOT suck ass. If they do they should just be let go on the spot. ...they probably will... Karen Angle interview Pass. Actually...no...just pass. Scott Steiner, Petey Williams & Rhaka Khan vs. LAX & Salinas I like Steiner and Petey together. I like LAX. Then I realize that none of them have a match on the PPV. Did you know that LAX were the #1 contenders to the TNA tag titles? And Steiner has shots at both the TNA and X titles? Yeah...I don't know either. Awesome Kong vs. ??? Ah, ??? returns. This will be voted on by viewers through TNA's website during the broadcast. Not a bad idea considering it might retain viewers who interacted...and the women draw the highest ratings anyway. They haven't bothered to tell us who the people up for the vote are. If Gail Kim is in the voting...everyone should vote for her. Kim vs. Kong rules. Sting Returns He's back to work limited dates. One of which will be in the Lethal Lockdown. Which is what he'll be telling us tomorrow. Joe/Angle hype: Frank Trigg They're really trying to put over this Angle vs. Joe match as being MMA style aren't they? We've had the Angle MMA challenge...and now MMA fighter Frank Trigg will be LIVE in the Impact zone to offer thoughts on the Joe/Angle main event. I kinda like it. And I kinda don't. I dig that they're trying to make Angle/Joe feel bigger, and different and special. On the other hand...everyone's still afraid that this isn't going to all go down clean in the end. I think TNA is doing all this stuff to kind of wink at the viewer and say "Hey...this time we promise" and if they follow through that's a big thumbs up. If they screw it up...well they don't have that much credability left with fans and it'd be all gone. Samoa Joe Interview Joe has a pretaped interview from his "training" in California for the Angle match. He says he won't be back in the Impact zone until he is TNA world champion. I like that...but of course...ONLY IF HE WINS. I'll be honest. I think Joe is winning that match. But can you imagine how many things just go wrong if he doesn't? They're apparently drawing their best house ever to Lockdown...and not only do you kill the town...but your show ends with people pelting the ring with garbage. Of course...they've done that before too... Kurt Angle vs. Tomko & AJ Styles More of Angle's preparation for Joe. He says he wants real competition so he's facing Tomko and Styles in 4 one minute rounds. I'm fine with all of this but they've kind of got to be careful. Tomko can't really look weak. Angle definitely can't look weak. Styles can look as weak as they want...but then they go too far into Angle/AJ and I start to get scared that Karen will mess around in Joe/Angle at Lockdown. Angle vs. Styles is definitely on the horizon...I just won't like it if they take away from the Lockdown build to start it now. Other Stuff: The video on TNAwrestling.com teases that the "biggest main event in Impact history" will be televised uncut and commercial free. Um..what main event? They can't be serious with Angle and his stooges being that big. The clip offers no insight to what the match is...so we'll assume that its not that (since it was previously announced). As for what it is...who knows. Lots of people aren't wrestling on this show that are in prominant roles at Lockdown (Sting, Christian, Rhino, 3D, Nash) and Tomko and AJ and Angle can always pull double duty since theirs is a sparring session anyway. I'll be really disapointed if it's just the Angle sparring session. ... Anyway...discuss and such. I have to work during LIVE Impact tomorrow...so I won't be watching until after midnight on my DVR.

If you ignore TV, TNA is awesome. Although...I like what they've did with Angle a lot last week. I even enjoy what they've done with BG/Kip in those rough cut videos. Just a shame that it's leading to a match that's going to blow goats.

And all Chris Benoit needs is a WWE title win. ... probably not going to happen though...

YES

Orton tapping out isn't even the worst thing that happened to him on the show. That was Cena and HHH discussing who wants to win the match more...keeping their feud with each other going strong...and ignoring that the WORLD CHAMPION is even a threat...or for that matter in the match with them.
