Matt Young 0 Report post 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'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedJed 0 Report post 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 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cd213 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RedJed 0 Report post 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?

The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
