Because no one else wants to I will start my first pun's house thread. What can I say I'm a TNA wank.

I thought this was a great show, fun matches with LAX/MCMG and Beautiful People/Roxxi ODB, a great Championship match with Gail and Kong, and a fun little main event with Joe Cage Rhyno/Booker 3D. Not sure about Joe and Nash just letting bygones be bygones or Eric Young looking for Elvis, but the rest of the show was some fun wrestling. The guns need a legit feud and quick, they are the most underused talent in TNA right now. Also I looooooove the Knockouts cross the line promo spot, it seems so badass, and the women backed it up not once, but twice this night.

yeah, sorry. Normally I do but with moving and general laziness I forgot to make a thread.

better watch out or you may lose your biggest tna wanker moniker

TNA was nice enough to remind us of the simple fact that Kong + Kim = AWESOME! I think Kim looked the strongest in that match that she ever has against Kong, including her clean win. That was a no DQ match where she used weapons and the outside to help neutralize Kong's size advantage. But in this she just took it to her with wrestling and seemed to do so longer than she ever has before in a 1-on-1 regular match. It played off like Kim really learning and adapting to Kong and almost having her beat clean in the ring without the help of anyone or anything.

Otherwise agreed with doug. Good show overall and the only things I had problems with were Joe seemingly taking Nash back making him look like a moron even if Nash doesn't turn on him considering everyone expects him to. And the stupid EY Elvis stuff. But whatever. At least it should mean no Super Eric and Young is limited to 30 second comedy bits, which is basically where he excels.

I'm visiting my Mom's so I missed half the show and wasn't able to really focus on it. I'll probably have more to say once I get a chance to rewatch.

But one thing: Boy, Booker seems fired up by the heel turn.

Or maybe it's just not feuding with Roode finally. Whatever.

My cable box has been fucked up lately, so I missed the show last night. Is there a replay? And if so, when/what channel is it?

[iamdoug]

Booker always seems at his best as a heel, it just feels right. Hell I always enjoyed Harlem Heat more as heels than as faces. It seems to bring out the best in Booker. The only real drawback is you get a lot less Harlem Hangovers out of heel Booker.

Also Demko check out Galaxiawrestling.blogspot.com they have video's of all shows usually a day after they air, it's in Portugese, but is still easy to navigate

[Lucky]

Or check out Spike Saturday night. 10 or 11 PM, I'm not sure which.

Two weeks in a row TNA fucked the wrestling/talking balance, but at least the wrestling was good.

I'm falling in markish hate for the Beautiful people. Them dancing away was bad, but the hair taunting was just rude and uncalled for and brilliant. One has to wonder if the Guns, like, shot someone's dog. Helen Keller could see how over they are, but they still can't buy a win. Not that the constant losing is hurting them any yet. They're feuding LAX and 3D. Knew it. Didn't want it then, don't want it now. LAX and the Guns could tear the house down over and over, guaranteed, they just need a catalyst, and what do you know...one of them has a championship.

I wonder if TNA has it in them to go the whole 9 with the Match Made in Heaven thing and hold the Machismo/Val wedding as the show closer. They've already got your money at that point anyway.

Normally, I don't really care for women's wrestling, but first Mickie and now KONG~!/Kim has really opened my eyes to good women's wrestling. Kim was bumping like a pinball off of Kong and the psychology was tremendous. Now if we could just get rid of ODB. I know she is over, but she is just so eww... Plus her wrestling styles does nothing for me at all.

On the flip side, the X-Division is on life support and it doesn't look like it is going to get any better anytime soon. The comedy is getting old save for Curry Man and they need to re-vitalize the division. It sucks that Petey got injured, but they could have been better prepared with a deeper roster. Maybe the World X Cup will give the division the shot in the arm it needs plus bring in some foreign talent on a longer term basis.

They pulled the trigger way too fast on Machismo/Val. TNA creative, who lately have seem like the masters of slowly building storylines, seemed to lose interest and just shot their wad too early. Maybe it also because I hate Dutt and find a feud between Dutt/Lethal to me is lackluster.

In contrast, "As the Angles Turn" ruled the school as all the kewl kidz are saying. I definitely thought Angle was going to be sincere and really attempt to get Karen back, which would have been lame. The resulting promo reeked of self-delusion and megalomania and it kicked ass. It got storyline back on track and once again they aren't moving too fast. Eventually we will get Angle/Styles and it will rock.

Finally, the heavyweight division moved along steadily, but unsurprisingly. Nice to see Tomko back. Personally, Booker has never really done anything for me so I am not too excited about the prospects of him and Joe. It will definitely be a resume-building feud that Joe needs, but isn't the blood feud that will cement his reign. I definitely missed The Champ over the past month and I hope he ditches Rhino and takes the number two face slot. Cage/Storm is a nice long feud I could get behind.

Overall, a decent show, LAX/MCMG and KONG~!/Kim brought the wrestling and Angle brought the entertainment. I continue to look forward to TNA over WWE's constant lack of angles and natural storyline progression. As everything continues to feel very contrived or aimless with them.

Oh yea before I forget. Abyss sucks the meat missile. Please get him off my TV screen.

I love Gail/King, but I'm hoping for some Roxxi/Kong at some point, where both are given free reign. I've seen some shimmer bouts between these two, and they can be really, really good off each other.

And ever for my heel love of Kong, though, I have to say that right now Love is becoming the number 1 heel in the women's division. First she causes Roxxi to be shaved, then she "injures" Gail. Me likey.

Rest of the show was pretty good, except for Roxxi's outfit. She went from voodoo to Goths R Us? I'll take the voodoo any day.
