This is my favorite TNA post ever.

It is a tantrum post that makes no sense thought. Would have been better placed in the NXT thread. The Jeff Hardy thing wasn't a scoop it was me assessing the situation and me being right about it. It was something to me that was obvious and I was shocked that other people didn't point out already.

Equipment doesn't explain away the bad camera work and missing key spots. Actually other than the delays at the beginning of the tapings I can't think of one production misstep on the broadcast I'd chalk up to substandard equipment. Production staff, yeah, but not the cameras themselves.

There was a rumour on Twitter that they didn't have a production truck. No major news outlet confirmed that though.

Wasn't there a brief shot of Gaburick in the truck at one point? Either preceding or just after the big brawl. I don't know the layout of that building at all so maybe it could've been a room or booth in the facility itself but it looked like an enclosed space from the fleeting seconds it was onscreen.

Where did I say didn't know where it is from? It is from Breaking Bad. How that means that the post makes sense in the context of the Jeff Hardy thing is something you will have to explain to me.

You are calling me dense is funny as that's how the only thing started. Someone being dismissive of me when I said the Hardy was clearly all an angle. Something that ultimately I was correct on. So bored of this and the name calling.

Yup. As previously stated the Jeff Hardy thing wasn't a scoop. I didn't ask anyone about it though as it was immediately obvious to me that it was an angle.


Agreed and so has this thread lately.

Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you tweet? Do you know how many scoops I see a year? I mean, even if I told you, you wouldn't believe it. Do you know what would happen if I suddenly decided to stop being right about wrestling on the internet? A WordPress rumor blog big enough that it could be sourced on LordsofPain goes belly up. Disappears! It ceases to exist without me. No, you clearly don't know who you're talking to, so let me clue you in. I am not being owned by PSP, Cultlife. I am the PSP. A guy opens his door and gets future endeavored and you think that of me? No. I am the one who scoops!

I just wanted to quote a good post again.

Also, I like how they said that darkening the audience was to make sure that people focused more on the ring. Uh huh. It wasn't because like, nobody was there!

They did 450 or so in a 600 seat building didn't they? They could have easily brought the people to the front and made it look full, so yeah I'd blame incompetence in this case.

But who attended the second night said that even though the attendance was smaller the house lights were turned up. But accounts like that can be misleading obviously for a host of reasons.

The first night honestly was pretty good in terms of the attendance. They filled out the floor level entirely, so a couple sparse rows in the upper balcony is whatever. Darkening the crowd actually gives more credence to the twitter photo which is peak TNA.

i know folks have been offering a lot of unrequested/unrequited advice, but dude, this isn't wrestling.ie, f4w or other boards. it really might be worth you lurking other subforums of sa before you get up in arms before the next inevitable next time someone goes on attack against you. i've actually come around to you, but if you aren't going to "get" what SomethingAwful is about, you're going to get probated/banned a lot. just get the temp of this place before you go "I AM ROVERT, I AM INTERNETS, I THINK YOU ARE ATTACKING ME BY MAKING JABS/BITS ABOUT MY GIMMICK AND I MUST DEFEND MY HONOR.

The Manhattan Center is a tiny tiny venue for televised wrestling, if you can't sell it out it's not pretty good, especially with comps.

This moment gets lost in the shuffle of all the LOLTNA stuff but I think it might be my favourite TNA moment of all time. The shriek, the hilarious costuming, the wrestlers moving out of the way instead of catching him, etc make it some of the very best unintentional comedy TNA's ever produced.

They did have a segment that led into his return as Hardy, which was basically someone (Angle I think?) telling him that he needed the old Jeff Hardy back and that he could have a title shot if he stopped with the willow poo poo.

Yeah it was his match against Lashley, which he lost. I seem to recall the whole thing happening over the space of like 2 segments on a throwaway episode of Impact.

No, Hernandez cashed in his world title shot in a 4 way match to make it a 5 way match because he's an idiot.
