Matt Young Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Did I miss anything in the first 15 minutes while I was trying to figure out what was up with the weather? I must say this- I couldn't stand ODB when she debuted in TNA. Not her gimmick, nor her wrestling. I hadn't seen her wrestle prior to that, though I knew of her. But I like her more and more each week. She's pretty bitchin'.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I find myself sad that the Beautiful People/Roxxi stuff is already over for this episode. I think it's my favorite part of the show.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Hey...we're 40 minutes in and they've actually focused on different angles without getting everything smushed together. When did this start? I feel like...I...understand...what's going on...
BorneAgain Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I find myself sad that the Beautiful People/Roxxi stuff is already over for this episode. I think it's my favorite part of the show. There's always Kong killing someone from the crowd.
DangerousDamon Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Haha, what the fuck?! That skit was ridiculous
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Why is Robert Roode from Wall Street? Is he an investment banker or a stock broker? No. He's just a cocky, prick.
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Haha, what the fuck?! That skit was ridiculous I'm assuming you meant the Rock N Rave Infection "tryout" as the wedding band for Lethal/Val? Yeah, that was just way weird. I guess that was supposed to build some American Idol person who I've never heard of (Ace something?) to show up on Impact next week and then sing the wedding shit at the ppv? Wow, who fucking cares!! The funniest part of the segment there was that immediately after we see Hoyt and Rave hit Lethal and Dutt from behind, they immediately cut away. So what DID happen during the first segment? I was outside for a bit and didn't notice the time. By the time I got to turn to Spike, ODB was cutting a promo about her tits.
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I really loathe these lame-ass "As the Angles Turn" video packages they do with the cheesy background music and the unconvincing voiceover.
Exslade ZX Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Don't know if they've done it before, but "Karen Styles" is a pretty amusing chant.
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 The slutty entrance video for Karen Angle, coupled with quazi-generic new entrance music for her, is silly.
Matt Young Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I was pleasantly surprised that Mike and Don didn't talk/scream during that whole Angle segment.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah...THAT's the segment they decide to let breathe. Oh well...if anything it's nice that the crowd couldn't care less about the Soap Opera and just wants the reason to cheer for Styles.
cd213 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Are they actually learning what makes a good show? Angles not "smushed" together, entertaining in ring wrestling, not bad promos, Mike and Don not screaming. Hopefully this is a turn in the right direction.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 They had the right direction heading into Lockdown. Then they took last month off. This week needs more wrestling...but at least it's not giving me a headache. And there are some things that I'm really enjoying: The beautiful people. The slow Nash burn. That promo that AJ just cut as I was typing this. They're starting to do right by AJ. And that's a really good thing.
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Yup that AJ/Tomko segment was good stuff, and pretty much establishes that Tomko/Styles are going their seperate ways into singles, and will eventually probably feud. Now that we know where Styles is going to go soon here (Angle feud), I wonder what exactly the company will do with Tomko? Tomko/Morgan feud or something?
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I dont know if everyone gets this on their channel they are watching Impact on now, but there is some commercial for cabotcheese.coop on right now that is absolutely bizzare.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 If he hadn't just pissed off management I'd have bet that he'd be in line for at least one ppv main event with Joe. But now he may be heading into the MachineGuns doghouse. He does have a 50/50 shot at making KOTM still... I wonder if what he does next depends on how long before they put Angle back in the ring. He can put Styles over until Angle is ready to go.
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 If he hadn't just pissed off management I'd have bet that he'd be in line for at least one ppv main event with Joe.

He can put Styles over until Angle is ready to go. Good point, I keep forgetting that Angle may possibly be out of action for more than just a few weeks here. They could do Tomko/Styles BEFORE Angle/Styles. I like this Kong angle alot.
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 So who really is this new chick? Curious on her background.
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 She looks like a younger Sara Undertaker. I was thinking the same thing, yo. I'll let you know if I get out to CA anytime this summer, by the way. Joints will be smoked!
The Ghost of bps21 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 "Kong's gonna kill you." Tremendous.
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 That was a sick powerbomb. No shit, and her own knee hit her head hard on impact (pardon the pun!)
cd213 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I'm digging Booker as this cocky heel, it really works. I think I heard a little King Booker accent, and could he be bringing King Booker back, if he wins King of the Mountain?
RedJed Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 I'm digging Booker as this cocky heel, it really works. I am too, and am hoping they still go back to Booker v. Sting down the road here. Maybe at Victory Road in Houston perhaps....
The Ghost of bps21 Posted May 23, 2008 Report Posted May 23, 2008 Booker as a heel is roughly a billion times better than the Booker who worries about his wife and smiles at the camera.
