Wait so I remember TNA making a huge deal about how the Knockouts were also in this tournament and they were revolutionizing the business and such It seems like there were two of them, and they each got eliminated in the first round by guys who got eliminated in their next matches? The gently caress's even the point, then? When the WWE puts a woman in the Rumble, they typically let her eliminate some midcard clown in a feel-good girl power spot of some sort. What was this supposed to accomplish for anyone involved

They bullshitted one out of their heads to make up for nobody being able to defend the belt due to their TV situation. 2 matches just so happened to be intergender

The point is they only had so many matches already taped and so many outcomes already done and they were locked the gently caress in. edit: Is pop on directv? Second question, should I even watch.

Did anyone watch it? Was it any good? Did AJ Styles come down out of the rafters? Did the Hulkster show up? Were there more than 200 people in the audience? Did Jeff Hardy do a Triple Lindy?

Did Jeff Hardy do a Triple Lindy? TNA proved they don't understand Mike Bennett and only signed him because they heard he was liked by making him the focus of the Bennett/Maria debut, instead of focusing on the actual star. The most startling thing was that I swear half the non-wrestling segments were someone talking about how the wrestlers they would be entering a feud with are boring.

Mike and Maria have signed apparently. It's like getting a ticket to the Titanic after it has hit an iceberg.

His new gimmick is that he's Chris Jericho with a hat He did a pretty decent promo about being the saviour of wrestling, I guess. He came off well though the crowd had no idea whether to cheer him or not and settled on doing nothing.

Yeah I went to turn on the last 30 minutes since it sounded like a wonderful mess and it was so bad it crashed my cable box I guess. I hope next week they Halloween Havoc it and show the entire episode over again in the slot.

I know, I was really upset when I saw it too and she is not holding it like any human being should hold a baby. e: also notable in that gif is a horrifying vision of what Izzy will look like in the future.

fart blood posted:I miss V1 Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy with his MFers Shannon Moore and Crash Holly. Matt Hardy Version 1 was so great, the fact that they stuck him in the Dead-End-By-Our-Own-Design Cruiser Division instead of pushing him toward the Main Event scene sucks. It's also not surprising since the Main Event scene at that point was meat men like Scott Steiner, Goldberg, Brock, Batista, and Early 00s Triple H with Orton and Benoit both in the midst of being buried for not being meaty enough.

Fortunately or unfortunately, the AJ to WWE stuff prepared them for it ahead of time. It would've been delicious if the WWE article about them came out during Impact instead of just before.

I'm so god drat sad for James and Kong. Its great they're getting paid and all, but Storm would be so much better off in NXT by every metric except pure cash, and Kong needs to retire before she seriously hurts herself trying to, like, move her neck.
