TNA Wrestling (On TNA+ and Triller TV)

Lmfao good to see Taz hasn't changed. Watching Gail Kim against some big woman. "If she can get the cover she could get the victory here"

So far in 2014, TNA >>> WWE, and it's not even close IMO.

Agreed. WWE still have done some good things but TNA have done better considering the state of the company last year. Their promo work has been much better and the storylines are becoming more interesting. Magnus is becoming a bonafide star and he's still only 25 (maybe year or two older).

Lately i have been looking forward to watching TNA more than WWE.

I mentioned earlier in the thread that they kind of hotshotted the whole investor storyline, and they could make their title changes a bit more meaningful as well (X Division and Tag titles changing hands at random house shows recently for example). They could also do a bit more to promote returns/surprise appearances/new characters, but overall, they're just putting out a far more enjoyable product than WWE right now IMO.

It seems lazy, but it's so much easier to watch knowing you've just got one two-hour show to catch up on each week, rather than 5-6-7 hours of content like WWE has. TNA seem to pack far more action and storyline progression into those two hours than WWE do in all their programming too.

Tna has always had better in-ring action (I recently met Celeste bonin (kaitlyn) who said the same thing)
Tnas issue was they'd put too many swerves in their story line, and would often take their viewers for fools

EC3 is gold, probably Hutter's ultimate calling.

WWE dropped the ball on this guy. His in ring work is solid and he's fantastic on the mic and has the look, could of been something big.

I don't get why they kept him around developmental for so long (six years!), and couldn't come up with anything worthwhile for him.

I don't get it either when you consider guys like Johnny Curtis, Heath Slater get a gig ahead of him. He jumped ship at the right time with the way TNA is progressing.

Also i have said this before but man i love Rockstar Spud, has me in stitches every time he gets on the mic.

Just made me think of that weird gimmick that Johnny Curtis had when he first came to the SmackDown roster, where he was pouring milk on himself, and hanging around in bathrooms and stuff.

That was weird. He had the stalker like gimmick in NXT when he was fueding with Bateman/EC3, i actually found that rivalry quite funny to watch.

Speaking of stalker gimmicks I'm really liking the Samuel Shaw gimmick and the "creepy bastard" chants he has been getting is awesome.

Yeah I kind of lost track of that season of NXT, because it went on forever.

Wondering where he goes now the Christy/Anderson thing has seemingly run its course.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Gail Kim? She'd try to beat him to a pulp at least.

I'd really love it if Sanada and Tigre were a bona fide team ... but I guess their one tag match left me wanting more.

edit: Looked on Wiki because profight is slack ... Didn't realise there'd been a championship match the week after. Bloody Bromans.

Could probably have him go after the Beautiful People but usually stalker gimmicks don't go for long.

I'm glad they're starting to use EY a lot more seriously. I look forward to the fatal 4 way for the title.

Also lmao at EC3 and Rockstar Spud this week, they work so well together in their promos.

p.s I'm.not having any problems seeing Velvet and Angelina in the ring at the same time

you might if they turn side on

Would be awesome if EY pinned Abyss for the title

I'm hoping for that. Would love to see EY as champ and the rivalry between Abyss and EY continue over the belt.

Better Impact this week, Gunner vs Storm main event was pretty brutal.

 

[Chops18]

It looks like they want to push Gunner, he's improving every week and could be a top player for tna in years to come. He's got the look and that brutal powerhouse moveset. I'm loving the rivalry between him and Storm.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

So I've missed the last couple of shows but have read what's happening with Abyss. Should I get the feeling the TV title's been quietly retired?

 

[Chops18]

I think it has. I can't even remember who had it last but i remember Devon had it while in Aces and eights. Whether he lost it or still had it i can't remember.

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

Abyss has it now after a PPV last year, hence why I mentioned him.

I reckon i must of missed that ppv. Probably not a bad thing that it's gone, wasn't really generating any real interest. TNA tend to slowly weed out belts off the show, dud the same thing with the Knockouts tag titles (personally i liked that idea).

 

[TooUglyForFugly]

When EY and ODB ended up with those the writing was on the wall from the first second.
