Sounds like its going to be a decent show, look forward to seeing it next week.

[TNABaddboi 0]

I'm suprised they didn't give this show some sort of special name like "Midnight Madness" or something since they're acting like the later start time makes it special.

[luke-o 0]

Well Nash is wrestling Mr.X (who i think i read is a midget)

[JustJoe2k5 0]

Should be a decent show.

[Placebo Effect 0]

I'm glad I opened up this thread because I had no idea it was starting at midnight.

 

I wonder what the rating will be this week.

0.7 with the highest demographic being 18-35 age group because Sting was on the show.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Who would 6 years ago that Christian and Sting would be in a main event level promo?

[Corey_Lazarus 0]

Who would have thought 6 years ago that Kevin Nash would be squashing an entire division?

 

...oh, right...

[Astro101 0]

Impact is also airing tomorrow as well according to Jarrett on BTR.

 

And this is the Christian everyone wants to see. Screw being the babyface and start making wisecracks and fun of other wrestlers.

 

And you can't say Nash is squashing the X Division. Because he hasn't. Not yet anyway. When he does, then you can say he's squashing them.

[TNABaddboi 0]

That was a pretty weird promo by Nash...

[ChrisMWaters 0]

So what will this LAX thing eventually lead to?

[razazteca 0]

Ok why am I getting the Windows Blue Screen of Death?

[TNABaddboi 0]

any one else having reception problems? the picture's been flickering all show, but it just went out completely in the middle of the Shane promo, as soon as the crowd started chanting Candido.

[Astro101 0]

TNA usually has some clips of Impact after the show or the next day. Hopefully this segment will be one of those clips.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

Must be something at Spike TV, cause it happened here too.

 

I'll have to watch against tomorrow.

[TNABaddboi 0]

ok...it's back, but I missed the whole promo. can anyone clue me in?

[razazteca 0]

Shane Douglas is going to do it for Eddie....er....Candido.

[Astro101 0]

Damn, that was a good Joe/Steiner segment.

[TNABaddboi 0]

man that promo made me wanna see that match even more. i don't think i've seen joe cut a more passionate promo since he's been in TNA (and I haven't seen any of his other stuff). I wish I had ppv access, cuz TNA won't put out the damn DVD til october.

[TNABaddboi 0]

glad they finally got rid of that crappy Dr. Dre cover for Nash's entrance music.

[Conspiracy_Victim 0]

Kevin Nash with the high risk aerial manuever!

[Astro101 0]

What I find funny is that they changed Nash's music on this show. This was taped along with the past two shows. I guess midway through the tapings TNA finally realized his music sucked.

[ChrisMWaters 0]

I'm surprised Nash didn't tear something doing the Frog Splash

[JustJoe2k5 0]

TNA has done a great job of building up to Slammiversary. I actually know most of the card heading into the event without looking at the actual card on a website, which is more than I can say for any WWE events.

[Placebo Effect 0]

Joe's going to humble Steiner!

 

That Nash/Mr. X match was fantastic.

I think this is the best build PPV since they started the monthly shows. Usually the hype for TNA PPVs is all workrate based, but other than AMW/AJ & Daniels, there's no match on this card that jumps out as a **** possibility. Somehow, I'm still hyped for it though, and it's all storyline driven. Two of the **** guys are working matches with guys they'll be lucky to get to *** with, and yet, I'm pretty OK with it.

[haws bah gawd 0]

Wasn't Nash's new music a re-do of Zepplin's Kashmir(sp?) ? Sounded interesting.

Little programming note:

 

Impact has 2 replays this week

 

Friday AND Saturday at 11 pm

[luke-o 0]

I guessin because of the shitty time they got.

 

Sounds like it was a really good show, i cant wait to see it. I might even watch Slammiversary live if i can get the feed.
