deancoles Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Got these from Wrestlingobserver.com For next week's show Juventud Guerrera & Abismo Negro b Teddy Hart & Jack Evans - Good match Johnny Devine & Petey Williams b Hector Garza & Mr. Agulia - Not bad Team AAA b Team Canada in the finals when Garza was left with Hart and Williams and pinned both of them Kid Kash & David Young & Glenn Gilberti b ICP & 2 Tuff Tony. Monty Brown (remember him) returned wearing a Patriots jersey and helped the heels win Added to 3/17 is a ladder match with A.J. Styles vs. Abyss I like the ladder match but i'm worried about the push that Hector Garza seems to be in line for.

Then it makes his team look like losers.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 It looks like they are loading up 3/17. Anyway...I'm looking forward to the XCup. Should be a nice show to tide me over a few days until WrestleMania.
Guest Mosaicv2 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 MARK OUT for Monty Brown for wearin somethin New England... represented man represented
The Metal Maniac Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Hector Garza owns. I hope he powerbombs the piss outta Hart.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 It looks like they are loading up 3/17. Anyway...I'm looking forward to the XCup. Should be a nice show to tide me over a few days until WrestleMania. These are looking like they are starting to be the only shows worth ordering.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 That's why I'd like to see them concentrate their efforts on making the XCup a success first and foremost...and then work on fixing their regular shows. Although...the increased in ring action is certainly a step in the right direction. Now...as for the booking...
Michrome Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Honestly, if the in-ring action is great, the booking doesn't need to be anything more than average. Just go with the basics in booking, and give people tons of action.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 What I meant was less about storylines...and more about who they book to feud with each other. Other than Styles/Abyss...I don't remember the last time they booked a feud around two workers that can put on good matches. The last decent in ring feud I can remember was XXX vs. AMW I'd like to see them start booking feuds where the in ring action can be good. Also...the lack of title matches (for all three titles) has been ridiculous. One of the things TNA did well at the beginning was get over how much the wrestlers all wanted to be NWA Champion... Now Raven will say it every week...and that's about it.

Guest Salacious Crumb Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 If Monty Brown has improved in the ring I'll be really happy to see him back.
King Cucaracha Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Well, Teddy jobbed twice. That should please a lot of people. Here's hoping we soon get a Team U.K if this X-Cup format turns out to be/continues to be a success.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Who is Monty Brown? I know he appeared during my NWA dry-spell (Weeks 5-15 I think). And I know he kinda feuded with Ron Killings/K-Krush. Anyone got a pic?

Guest Your Olympic Hero Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 I like the ladder match but i'm worried about the push that Hector Garza seems to be in line for. When he was in the WWF briefly in about early 97? They called him the future Shawn Michaels of Mexico. He disappeared from WWF TV shortly after.

Corey_Lazarus Posted March 4, 2004 Report Posted March 4, 2004 Monty Brown was surpisingly good for an extremely green worker. He was athletic, had a good look, and was comfortable on the mic. Damn fine charisma, too. I just don't think bringing him in out of the blue like this will do anything for him, considering he hasn't been in TNA for over a year and a half.

BUT he cost ICP the match...so he's going to be over with the ICP crowd...which is easily the most vocal.
Guest Jay Z. Hollywood Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 Well, Teddy jobbed twice. That should please a lot of people. Here's hoping we soon get a Team U.K if this X-Cup format turns out to be/continues to be a success. Not sure UK could put together a good lineup though. Fleisch is retired so he's out. Jonny Storm and James Tighe are the only two Brit wrestlers I know who work X style.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 Brown looks like he can be a big player, and from what CL said, he has a chance once he's more experienced. I wonder what the 1-on-1 portions of the Americas-X Cup Tournament spoilers are.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 Here's the whole X Cup spoilers: Teddy Hart b Mr. Aguila Juventud Guerrera b Petey Williams Johnny Devine b Abismo Negro Hector Garza b Jack Evans Juventud Guerrera & Abismo Negro b Teddy Hart & Jack Evans Johnny Devine & Petey Williams b Hector Garza & Mr. Agulia Team AAA b Team Canada in the finals when Garza was left with Hart and Williams and pinned both of them

Other 2 singles matches can be toss ups as Garza is decent for his size, but never saw Evans, and Abismo Negro is the worst of the AAA guys.
Guest Goodear Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 Mr Aguila is like 0-6 or something right? Ah well. Does it seem to anyone else like they need to reverse the order of the thing so that it doesn't seem like the winner of the last match wins the cup no matter what? The points set up of the tornament could so be used to set up stuff like 'if Sabin takes the pin here, then it doesn't matter if Lynn runs the table' and let that flow into a hot tag. PS: Sabin seems low profile in this thing despite being X Champion. They so need to either push him as a bigger peice of the TNA team or just branch him out of the squad so he can concentrate on the belt.

They so need to either push him as a bigger peice of the TNA team or just branch him out of the squad so he can concentrate on the belt. Thats one reason Juvi not surviving at the end is good. Repitition. Last Americas-X Cup Team NWA was trailing for the entire contest, and never recovered. Re-doing the same thing wouldn't work, so a dead even 4-4 tie going into the 8-Man Elimination this time makes it a little different, and doesn't feel like "OK, they are gonna pull the predictable Captains survive to the end bit" since Hector Garza is the final NWA guy left. One good scenario is one team wins every match in 1-on-1 and tag, taking an 8 nothing lead. The only way the other team can even TIE is having all mebers survivr, which would be cool because they have to depend on each other to even think about tieing it up.
JoeDirt Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 Has anyone mentioned if they're going to have another one of these in April? I know they're going to run one taped show a month now...but will they all be the X-Cup things?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted March 5, 2004 Report Posted March 5, 2004 If I had to guess...I'd say they could be doing AAA vs. TNA rematch.
Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes Posted March 6, 2004 Report Posted March 6, 2004 I'd guess Team Japan vs Team AAA. Unless TNA can bring in actual X-Style wrestlers, and not comedy guys in clown masks, then maybe. But the title "Americas-X Cup" wouldn't make sense anymore since Japan isn't part of North, Central, or South america. I could see a TNA vs. AAA rematch but AAA vs. Japan would be questionable.
Molotov The Bear Posted March 6, 2004 Report Posted March 6, 2004 True, but then why bring in three japanese guys and actually call them part of "Team Japan?" Add to that, the three guys were wrestling Team TNA this week and it kinda seems thats where their going.
