One and Only NWA: TNA March 10th Thread

[Jebus 0]

I always wondered how two wrestlers who speak diffrent languages communicate in the ring.

 

In this case, I guess they simply didn't!

KILL PETEY!!!!

6 -- PETEY WILLIAMS & JOHNNNY DEVINE vs. MR. GUILA & HECTOR GARZA

 

WINNERS: Williams & Devine when Devine pinned Aguila after his Devine Intervension finisher at 9:18.

 

STAR RATING: **1/2 -- More of the same. If you're into this pacce and style of wrestling, you're getting a nice dose of athleticism. There's not a lot of storyline or psychology to sink your teeth into.

 

-D'Amore gave Team Canada a pep talk about the finals. D'Amore said Canada is an educated bilinguial country, the opposite of Mexico.

Evans first gone after top rope Juvi Driver.

 

This has been bad.

[tpww7 0]

ONCE AGAIN, KILL PETEY!

Why is Teddy gone?

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

I'll wait til I order the replay at 10 to see the show (damn Nets better finish soon). Last time I read the Americas X thread, techincal difficulties galore resulted in LOTTA bad comments, even though the show was decent at the least.

 

As long as the show is ALL wrestling (no JArrett this time I hope) with decent matches at least, It'll be OK.

 

But whoevers dumb idea was Canada vs. AAA is weird. Not that I don't mind seeing some different guys on the PPV, but again, styles clash (and I don't mean the wrestler move) where AAA is lucha and from what I've heard, the Canadians (except Hart) are good mat workers.

7 -- TEAM AAA vs. TEAM CANADA

 

Tenay pointed out that this was the third match for each of the wrestlers tonight, which is true from a storyline perspective, but not in reality, as they had the chance to take a one week break between matches that were taped at the last two live PPVs. D'Amore joined Tenay and West on commentary. They started the match with 40 minutes left in the PPV timeslot. They created a sense of tension and excitement in the opening minutes of the tag match with frequent tags. Evans and Garza were the first two to have sustained action against each other. Hart and Juvi tagged in next and had some nice rapid-fire exchanges. Teddy's knee eventually gave out on him, so he tagged out to Evans who took a beatinig from. In the final three minutes, they went into a series of rapid fire eliminations. Juvi pinned Evans at 11:30 to make it AAA-6, Canada-4. Then Harrt pinned Aguila at 12:05 to tie it up. Then Juvi pinned Williams after a double top rope suplex at 13:00. Then Hart scored the three count on Aguila to even the score at 10-10. Then Hector pinned Devine at 15:50 to end the match.

 

WINNERS: Team AAA at 15:50.

 

STAR RATING: ***1/4 -- Lots of nice highspots with a slow build. I wish they gave it at least five more minutes, preferably ten more minutes, as those rapid-fire pinfalls in the final four minutes was exciting, but a felt rushed. But they had to leave time for the ICP tag match, apparently.

 

-West and Tenay announced that next week would feature not just Harris challenging Jarrrett, plus A.J. Styles vs. Abyss in a ladder match to determine a new no.1 contender. A video then aired on Styles and Abyss. That's good to promote next week, but it would have nice to see a highlight video on the America's Cup Tournament to acccentuate the athleticism the previous 90 minutes had features. They had a whole week to produce it so there was no reason it couldn't have been done.

 

-Hudson interviewed Jeff Jarrett who said he doesn't think two weeks of multiple matches count as grueling preparation for a match against him.

Judging on tpww's reaction and the previous report...did Hart get eliminated?!?!?

[LucharesuFan619 0]

the Canadians (except Hart) are good mat workers.

Actually, Hart is a very impressive scientific wrestler if you pay him to do that.

[tpww7 0]

End came with Garza pinning Petey.

 

I dont even know how Teddy Hart was eliminated.

[tpww7 0]

I feel ashamed for watching this ICP match.

[Michrome 0]

Impressive scientific wrestler my ass. He has talent in the area, that's for sure, but judging by the 2003 stampede stuff I just saw, he is no "underrated technical wizard." He can definitely have fun matches, though.

[tpww7 0]

Monty Brown..

 

I give up on this promotion again.

8 -- 2 TOUGH TONY & SHAGGY 2 DOPE & VIOLENT J vs. DAVID YOUNG & KID KASH & GLENN GILBERTI - Dark Carnival match

 

The gimmick match featured a chain as a “fourth rope” around the ring about four feet higher than the third rope. Plus, they were allowed to colorfully painted trash can lids and other objects gathered at ringside. By 5:00 it broke into a six-way hardcore brawl with trash can lid shots to the head. At 6:00 the lights began flashing and their music played for a few seconds, apparently part of the “head games” associated with the Dark Carnival gimmick match. Kash flew at Shaggy with a flying flip dropkick attempt, but he came up short and landed hard. At 8:30 Juggalo Rude Boy entered the ring and joined in the fight with a chair. He then began to bring a ladder into the ring, but Kash slidekicked it into him before he could bring it in. Kash, Young, and Gilberti took control of the unhinged brawl. Shaggy put the ladder of his head and then spun around and knocked everyone down helicopter style. 2 Tough Tony piledrove Kash. Monte Brown, the king of “difficult bowel movement” facial expressions, did a run-in to even the odds. Kash then frogsplashed Tony on the ladder for the win.

 

WINNERS: Kash & Young & Gilberti at 11:57.

 

STAR RATING: ** -- A high-energy change of pace from the previous 90 minutes. Maybe it was good to throw a mix of something different onto the show at the end, although I’d have placed it before the America’s Cup finals. Having ICP follow the America’s Cup final demeans the importance of the selling point of the show. I also would have rather seem them save this match for next week and then go all out by adding five more minutes to the main event and a few minutes to some of the singles matches earlier that felt rushed.

[Tawren 0]

I can't believe I actually watched this show. Ugh, pure shit. Nothing over ** to me, everything was sloppy as hell and rushed. Pure shit.

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

What's sad is that I felt the only match over ** was the ICP brawl at the end, and that's only because of the heat it had for the last half of it (when it went HOUSE EN FUEGO, ™ Dames). Very boring stuff tonight.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Just saw Hart/Aguila....can someone point out the countless blown spots?

 

The only one that looked "blown" was Hart losing his balance almost, which actually worked into the atch because he hurt his knee.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Well, I noticed one MAJOR fuck up...

 

Juvi/Petey fucked up the tilt-o-whirl/tornado DDT...AND REDID THE SPOT. Damn canadian.

[Astro101 0]

A lot of blown spots tonight, but I was having a meh day today, so I was kinda in the mood for a spot festy show. I need something mindless to watch before I start studying for my Statistics midterm tomorrow.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Petey Williams I can safely say sucks. He blew the damn tilt o whirl spot EVERY match.

 

He has NO chemistry with Juvi, and Juvi can get a good match out of almost anyone I think.

 

Abismo Negro seemed to be a lot better than last time I think ,so he gets jobbed out to Johnny Devine.

 

Jack Evans was bleh to me. He looks like an Eminem wanna-be with the wife beater as part of his ring attire.

 

 

Overall though, the show was decent from top to bottom. Nothing to write home about, but nothing was bad. Not as good as the 1st Americas-X, but still decent.

[The Metal Maniac 0]

I paid three bucks to see Hector Garza whomp ass and grab the ropes at ONE after a standing corkscrew SSP.

 

I'm happy.

[Guest Man Of 1,004 Modes]

Seems like Williams ALSO fucked up on the Hart elimination. Garza pinned Hart, but WHY did Williams try and break the count?

[Jebus 0]

Garza pinned Hart

Finally, I can go to sleep tonight knowing that TNA did not forget Hart's elimination...

[Phoenix Fury Legdrop 0]

Petey Williams I can safely say sucks. He blew the damn tilt o whirl spot EVERY match.

How can you "safely" say Petey Williams sucks? Because you saw three matches out of his entire career, all on the biggest stage of his career (where he was probably really nervous) with guys who don't even speak the same language as him? I hate to agree with Rob Naylor, but don't judge any of these guys, especially Petey Williams (who I've seen some really great stuff out of in IWA Mid-South) just based on this.

I'll probably eat my words later on, but it wasn't too good of an impression he left.

 

Anyway, anyone know what the fat guy said to Hudson before the 8 man tag? It was probably something fake, but Hudson sounded dumb when he said "I don't speak CANADIAN"

 

I'm not an expert on Canada, but I thought the language was English & French. I never heard of "Canadian"

[Michrome 0]

I think it was a "joke."

[Astro101 0]

Yea, it was a joke. The stupidz Americahn Hudson is ignorant!

In that case, he probably had Paul London-syndrome last night (performing well in non-PPV indy promotions and doing poorly on PPV wrestling shows).

 

As for the show, I didn't think it was too great, either. Not the worst, but it doesn't come close to the TNA vs. AAA show.

If that was directed to me, I actually like London. I've seen plenty of him in Indy shows, but the way WWE is using him sucks.

 

Like I said, once I see more of someone, I usually will be pro-whoever. I just was saying it was a very bad impression on people who've never seen him before. (I did see the 3way captains match, and he wasn't too impressive either, which is udnerstandable since it was his first show in TNA)
