Was Abyss getting half murdered when Crimson Janice'd him part of that genius plot to fool everyone? Owgh... here comes a headache two years in the making. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) No wait, that was after 10/10/10. I think. Yeah, that was the second "They". You know, when Crimson went up to AJ Styles backstage and said "they're coming. They being you."

Oh right, and that led on to Fourtune Five, didn't it.
I actually wouldn't mind if Jeff is in on A+8s and heels again. I loved evil druggie world champion Jeff. Plus, his 'Another Me' theme song was pregnant dogin'.

Daniels getting in Hogan's face was awesome. I don't even care that Daniels jobs most of the time, he's just that entertaining.
The Knockouts Division isn't in the toilet yet, but it's in the bathroom stall. The only people that exist are the Champion, the Champion's opponent, and the Designated Jobber (Gail Kim at the moment). Oh, and the ref.
Man, they ran a hilariously over-the-top video package for Sting and the HOF. "Shakespeare worte that some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. By any measure Sting is all of the above... and more." Wrestling is funny sometimes.
Roode vs Hardy was a good match.
I groaned when Austin Aries screwed up "the script". This angle... ugh... TNA is stupid, you know the drill.
V's Bound For Glory crackpipe rundown:
Seeing as, yes, they are ripping off that angle in that other promotion, Austin Aries threatens to walk out of the PPV unless Dixie promises to introduce a Double-A Ice Cream Bar. Jeff lights up a bong on the way to the ring
Al Snow does the Fingerpoke job for Joey Ryan, then cuts a dumb promo about how he had us all fooled, and he always wanted Ryan on the roster (he did say "aye" in the original gutcheck, after all).
Still pissed off with Hogan for overlooking him, Garrett Bischoff does a run-in during the TV Title match, and Magnus and Joe will have to sell for him. Hilarity will ensue.
Tessmacher performs her finisher on Tara, Taryn Terrell no-counts the resultant fall, beats up Tessmacher and walks off with the belt. On the following Impact she blahs about how she trained for years to be a wrestler, and yet she's only a referee while Tessmacher is World Champion, yaddayaddayadda.
King Mo will probably deck James Storm because fuck you that's why
Sting and Bully Ray will defeat Aces & Eights, and they will never be seen again. Seriously, that's the least expected thing that could happen.

LMAO! You can NOT put that past TNA either! So I guess I'm not the only one that sees TNA's CM Punk stunt double when it comes to Austin Aries. I mean, hey, it could just be a coincidence. But Jesus Christ, just give Aries a bunch of tattoos and a buzz cut and you basically have CM Punk with the title in both promotions complaining about Jeff Cena getting everything handed to him Seriously WTF?!? The knockout's division was the one thing WWE did a lot worse than TNA, and that TNA actually did better than anyone else. Now it seems like WWE's diva matches have been lasting longer than 110 seconds and TNA is down to Tara, Gail, Tessmacher and, like V said, that referee that used to be married to Drew McIntyre. WWE has Eve, Kaitlyn, Layla, and sometimes Beth, Natty and Alicia. Holy fuck, is there actually MORE going on with WWE's women's division than TNA's? Here's to hoping that AJ is the one who wins the diva's title from Eve. It's as if WWE is pulling the division out of the toilet and drying them off by the sink area and the knockout's division is headed to the toilet. But, again as V mentioned, both divisions are certainly in the bathroom stalls as we speak As dumb as you're making that sound, I think I may actually mark out for that lol that seriously was so lame. It's one thing when a guy does a shoot instead of following a script. Sometimes it's an epic moment. It's another thing when a guy does a work shoot that was so realistic that it has everyone thinking it was a shoot. That also can be an epic moment. THEN, there's doing an OBVIOUS WORK that's a shoot on not following a WORKED script. ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) christ almighty

As dumb as you're making that sound, I think I may actually mark out for that lol They actually did something dumber than what I suggested. Matt Morgan randomly showing up. Really? Biker Devon looks pretty badass, I thought. One thing that re-occurred to me though: just how many bikers are there? The crowd was oddly subdued for the main event. I didn't think much of any of the matches this week, but I guess it's to be expected the show after the biggest PPV of the year. Hogan acknowledged the invisible cameramen. Wow, that opens a can of worms. "Do you have any idea who I am?" I had the catchphrase all lined up, but then I thought, maybe they're being tongue in cheek. Perhaps Jesse is in on the joke. In which case, this could be a fun angle. ODB has substituted Gail Kim as the third wheel in the 3-Woman-Knockout-Divison. Sarita coming back as a biker chick would probably make me forget about business-suit-AJ. Don't call Hogan "Terry". Geez. Hogan pointing out all the many ways Matt Morgan sucks was hilarious. They need to reveal a couple more faces quickly. At least we know one of them isn't Garrett.

A lot of interesting little things happened this week.
Jeff's internal monologue at the start of the show was hilarious. That could be an amazing gimmick if they run with it. I still maintain that a wrestling show presented as a scripted show like Twin Peaks or Lost is the next frontier for a wrestling boom.
The first hour of the show had listenable commentary!
I loved the finish to the TV Title match. Hey, if the move works, why not try it 3 or 4 times? That's just smart. But then they had the finish to Aries/Anderson, which was hilarious.
This reality show doofus is growing on me. Didn't think I'd be saying that. I mean, he distracted Tessmacher by taking off his shirt. Great management.
Aces and Eights using a dart to pick out their next opponent reminded me of a shitty drawing I did a few years ago.
Oh, and Bully mentioned "WWE". That was unexpected.

I wasn't sure what to think about it when they did that. At first when the internal monologue started I was like, are you kidding me? Then when it kept going with Jeff walking in slow motion, it was actually pretty damn cool. I couldn't help but laugh when Jeff said Storm drinks too much
you know what that means V. I can imagine the drawing already lol

Something that's been bothering me with Aces and Eights. Why didn't they just call the cops to get Joseph Park. It's not it's a hard thing to find a biker club hangout. They go to jail, don't continue to beat the crap out of your roster and you stopped a hostage situation. Your a hero if you call the cops on something like that.
Also, while they were doing a preview for next week's Gut Check, man Christian York looks stupid. He is 35 with that hair and his old man face. Doesn't go well. I like him, even if I thought he stopped wrestling like 9 years ago.

Apparently no cops actually watch Impact either.

The cops are just smart. Five minutes in the Impact Zone and they would turn heel and become evil paramedics.
I thought Jeff's inner thoughts were funny too. Hopefully they continue with that.
I'm also quite liking Biker Devon. It's still going to suck when Bischoff becomes the real leader. God, I hate him.
Matt Morgan still sucks. I wish someone would just give him a belt so he can retire and tell people he was once world champion.
I was really enjoying TNA during the BFG Series, but since it ended the shows seem to have cooled down considerably.

I was really enjoying TNA during the BFG Series, but since it ended the shows seem to have cooled down considerably. I was to. I figured that any BFG series match that didn't include Robbie E, Pope or RVD was a PPV quality match. But those 3, for different reasons sucked. Robbie E sucked because besides his three way with AJ and RVD he was just being squashed. That three was the highlight for both Robbie E and RVD in that series. Pope, I think he just doesn't care. RVD, well, because I've seen a RVD in the last 15 years so I've pretty much seen them all.

I was really enjoying TNA during the BFG Series, but since it ended the shows seem to have cooled down considerably. I feel a lot more enthused by TNA than WWE at the moment. I would agree that the big picture has cooled off a little, although I've noticed that they've really been nailing the little details recently. For example, I was actually thinking last week that "Robbie E reminding us that he beat Jeff in the BFG series would be a fun mini-feud". And lo, it actually happened. And Robbie T acting innocent after slamming Jeff into the railing got a big laugh out of me. I'm also happy that they've starting unmasking the bikers, because otherwise this thing was really going to start dragging. It's already a bloated storyline. And it's been going on nearly five months. Hurry up and disappoint us all by revealing Bischoff to be the leader. sigh. "Hey Chavo, Daniels and Kazarian have called out Hector and Willie. Think we should go out there?" "Nah, not yet Hernandez. Let's wait until after the break." "Uh, Chavo, they're beating them up. Now?" "Nah, Hector's a bit of an asshole, he needs to get socked in the face a little bit. Wait... wait... wait... okay, let's go. Actually, hold on... hey, maestro, play my music first... okay, now!" Jeff's new music is pretty good. Speaking of music, Joey Ryan's rules. Aries is stealing Bobby Roode's bit. I like Xema Ion's submission finisher. We all know ODB is going to end up banging Jesse, right? "Yeah, Jesse really sucks with his awesome abs and working out all the time and giving a shit about his appearance and oh did I mention that EY's been in Daffney's Prison for months now and BAM". I can't believe how much I'm enjoying someone who calls himself "Mr Pectacular". Matt Morgan went all the way to Hogan's Beach Shop to suck. AJ Styles reminded us all of a really stupid TNA angle for the sole purpose of mocking the other promotion for ripping if off. God. Have I mentioned recently that TNA is stupid? Because TNA is stupid.

Yeah, WWE has really been trudging along recently. TNA has definitely dipped though.
I wouldn't be surprised if they still only unmask a new member every week or two. So about three months down the line we'll still be waiting for the shocking return of Eric Bischoff.
Daniels' dancing seemed funnier than usual last week, lol. He must have downed a few appletinis before going out to beat up some commentators.
Jeff always seems to have good music. The new one is growing on me fast.
I don't think we can be blamed for not expecting much from this guy, but he is actually pretty funny and is playing the role well.
LOL. It's true, it's true. God, Matt Morgan sucks so hard. He's constantly serious and scowling, and calling old men "son". He's not convincing at all.

If you ever need someone to watch your back, after this last Impact, it has become very apparent, asking Wes Briscoe is like not asking anyone at all.

isn't Wes Brisco an ace or eight? he looks like he should be one of those guys. Meanwhile Angle has no idea Wes kicked his ass like 3 times already. Wrestling is funny
And yeah, Matt Morgan sucks
