"Main event (Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries) and Danielson-Morishima are both great matches, with the main event worth going out of your way to see." - Dave Meltzer at WrestlingObserver.com

"For the $10 pricetag, this will be a better show for your dollar than any other PPV this year in terms of wrestling content....The Manhattan crowd really adds a great, unique atmosphere to the show....Danielson vs. Morishima might very well be the Abdullah the Butcher vs. Bruiser Brody of their generation if they keep having brawls like that. For guys who are considered two of the best workers right now, that was one intense brawl....Nigel vs. Aries was just awesome...." - Mike Johnson at PWInsider.com

"....an incredible strong PPV effort and there are plenty of great matches (and great reasons) to purchase this PPV....The main event title match of McGuinness vs. Aries completes "Rising Above" and seals the deal on another excellent Pay Per View. That match, the tag scramble and the Morishima / Danielson encounter are all must see moments of the show, while the undercard matches are a good base that helps to round out the card. I was very impressed with the improved production and special effects elements used to help smooth out the rough edges. This feels more like a "complete" Pay Per View than any previous show, or maybe its that it finally feels like an ROH DVD has been successfully translated into to PPV format." - Ari Berenstein at 411mania.com

"....there is some great action and I wholeheartedly recommend this pay-per-view The final match alone is worth of the $14.95 that my cable company charged....yet another strong ROH pay-per-view with great matches and innovative storytelling." - Jason Powell at ProWrestling.Net

"....the atmosphere for this match (Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries) were downright incredible and this is an early contender for match of the year....Recommendation: (10.0) From start to finish, this was a great show....This show gets a big thumbs up from me. You won’t get better value for you dollar from any other promotion given ROH’s price point. ROH really pulled everything together from a production standpoint as well and the show really has great underground feel without looking cheaply produced. This PPV is the complete package.... If you’re on the fence about ordering one of the ROH PPVs, don’t hesitate to purchase this." - Sean Radican at Pro Wrestling Torch

"There is nothing that I can say that will do this match justice; all I can say is that you have to see it. I don’t care if you’re a casual fan, a hardcore fan, or hardly a fan at all, you will be absolutely amazed at the work of Austin Aries and Nigel McGuinness....Ring of Honor sets the bar so high for professional wrestling in the United States it’s going to make WrestleMania seem dull....Thank you Ring of Honor for giving real wrestling fans something to enjoy. I don’t care if it’s boxing, mixed martial arts, or professional sports, you won’t get more action than what you will get in this two hour masterpiece." - Richard Gray at wrestlingnewsworld.com[/FONT]
 
[quote name='guyver2077']
i had one awesome moment though.. i was walking around at the memphis airport monday morning and i happen to walk by JOHN CENA.. i thought i was imagining things since it was real early and i was tired but it was him.. complete in his 8 bit shirt and raw gear..Walking by himself and sat down at his gate...

i wish i would of gotten a pic or something..[/QUOTE]

He wears his shirt when not in front of the camera? Granted, it actually is one of the better wresting shirts I've seen.

[quote name='Zen Davis']Anyway, I've come to the theory that anytime a wrestler gets suspended for a wellness policy violation, CM Punk will get a push.[/QUOTE]

Makes sense, as he mysteriously qualifited for the MitB match just 24 hours after Jeff was last seen on TV.... I'm actually really stumped as to who will win that match. I know for damned sure it won't be Shelton or 'the seagull kid' Carlito, but other than that, any of the other four seem totally legit.
 
Today's AWA show was fine - nothing particularly amazing was shown other than the hilarious video package set to "Shout" from Tears For Fears, but it was an entertaining show (with TWO Billy Bald/Bold Eagle matches AND Eddie Sweat).

I learned that the Russians know pinfalls AND ten counts, and therefore know many things; that they're trying to control the brains of Americans in order to win the AWA World Tag team titles, and that Greg Gagne is the MASTER OF THE DROPKICK...who kinda missed it twice in his match. At least it was covered up well by both Gagne and Rod Trongard by stating that the opponent missed, and the second one hit better than the first. Also, Buddy Rose was down to 215 for his contest this week, so clearly the pre-Blowaway Diet plan worked for him.

Leon White's match was interesting just to see him bust out the stiff punches to the gut, the head, and finish with the THUMP, which was also his finisher in the WCW Superbrawl Wrestling game on the SNES. Very weird seeing him pick up a kid and kiss him during the entrance. I know what they were going for with that, but man does that ever play differently in 2008.

Quotes -
Blears - Now we’re into professional wrestling - with the Russians! They aren’t just ruthless, they know pinfalls! And 10 counts! They know many things. A good team will tag in and out, like the Midnight Rockers.
Trongard - Just like Gene Kininski and Lord James Blears used to do many moons ago.
Blears - Yes.
Trongard - A series of moves have been put on Pete Sanchez to wear him down!
(as Smirnoff faces off with Bold Eagle)Blears - He’s putting those big Russian boots into the face of an American Indian!
Blears - They lift their man straight in the air, drop his throat on the rope, and get the 1-2-3...how do you say 1-2-3 in Russian? I don’t know.
Smirnoff - All these people here are spaced out of their mind. The Russians are always in control of their minds. We are here to take control of your minds! We are the most intelligent intellectuals in the world! You know why we’re here and you’re know why we’re here! The world championship belt! The Russian people will win the title and take it back to the motherland!
Trongard - Greg Gagne, there you see him, the master of the dropkick AND the sleeper hold!
Blears - Greg Gagne did hold the world tag team championship for a long time, and he’s got the agility and the ability to hold the world heavyweight title in singles wrestling as well.
Trongard - He’s not only very talented in wrestling, but in football as well! His quickness is one of his greatest assets, but he has many of them! He’s 218 pounds, so he’s big, but not in the world of professional wrestling. That’s almost small!
Blears - A lot of those heavyweight boxers aren’t 280 pounds - they’re about 218.
Trongard - And can knock you out in one shot!
Blears - He’s got a great dropkick, and now’s he’s got a step over toe hold - you don’t see that much anymore. He’s now got an Indian Deathlock.
Trongard - Now he’s got him in a figure four variant. I’ve never been in this, what is Leone feeling right now?
Blears - He’s feeling a lot of burning in the back of his legs right now.
Trongard - There’s the dropkick that he’s a master of! …and he didn’t hit that one completely, but there’s a second one that landed… pretty good.
Blears - The winner, Greg Gagnay!
Gagne - The dropkick didn’t land too well the first time, he moved a little out of the way, but the second one got him pretty good. Larry Zbysko is a spud head - the original spud head. Talking about how great a wrestler he is. I wanna challenge whoever the AWA World champion is, that’s my ultimate goal. Jimmy Snuka is out, so Jerry Blackwell and I are now gonna go after the tag titles.
Trongard - Your lordship, I’ve been asked the question, you’ve been asked the question - what should be done about Colonel DeBeers. Our listeners…readers have their concerns, and they can send in their thoughts by writing to the AWA.
Blears - However, if you missed that address, just send a post card to “Wrestling at the Showboat” and it’ll get to the AWA. At one point, DeBeers was the most fined man in the history of the AWA.
Nelson - Now Jimmy Snuka says he’ll wrestle you at any time.
DeBeers - I don’t believe a word you say. He will not return, because when I put the devastating power of South Africa into his head on the floor, his career was ended by Colonel DeBeers. So you can lie to the people, and they’ll probably believe you because they’re gullible.
Nelson - Jerry Blackwell says he’ll wrestle you.
DeBeers - Jerry Fatwell doesn’t have the guts to face the good Colonel!
Nelson - His opponent, accompanied by GO…
Zbysko- HELLO SPUDHEADS!
Nelson - Larry Zbysko!
Trongard - Larry Zbysko likes to be called THE LEGEND, and he’s a good one, a great one.
Fans - LARRY SUCKS! LARRY SUCKS!
Blears - The fans are jumping!
Trongard - And they are not jumping for joy!
Blears - That’s why it’s great to watch this on television - however, as great as it is on TV, it’s even better live. Once you go, you’ll be a fan for life!
Trongard - Zbysko will probably take a while, dance around the ring…there he goes….
Blears - He’s a great wrestler. A great athlete. The man you love to hate. The Living Legend.
Trongard - Go is reminding us that he’s from Tokyo, Japan. Thank you - yes, we know that. We’ve yet to see the first move in this match.
Blears - A lot of wrestlers should wrestle like him - he doesn’t have a mark on his face, and that’s good.
Trongard - Now he’s working on the frontal lobes of Eddie Sweat!
Nelson - Weighing in at 271...
Rose - Every week, EVERY YEAR YOU SAY THAT I’M 271 POUNDS! Listen hairy Larry, I’ve lost 2 pounds - I’m 215 pounds.
Blears - The fans are chanting dough boy - they’re making fun of the size of Playboy Buddy Rose, a man who was raised right here in…look at Rose with the posedown. There’s Sherri Martel, a world champion in her own right, I saw her defend her title in Nippon.
Trongard - The AWA - the home of PRO WRESTLING’S VERY, VERY BEST! THE MAJOR LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING!
Trongard - Bobby Bald Eagle is showing us a dance from his reservation!
Trongard - Rose just did a strut to intimidate, or whatever, the war dance of Bobby Bald Eagle!
Blears - There you can see the suplex - uno, dos, tres. Ichi, Nissan, aloha!
Nelson - The first American to ever win the World Cup in Europe, and a former football player for the Rams - Leon White!
Blears - Can you imagine walking in a dark alley and finding this man?!
Blears - There are a lot of people on the Hawaiin coast that watch NOTHING BUT THE AWA! THEY LOVE IT!
Trongard - An awesome sight is Leon “Bull Power” White! One of the most amazing things about him is that he’s only been wrestling for about a year!
Blears - An ill wind is blowing for Gatner because Leon White is mad!
Nelson - The winner, Leon - HE’S KNOWN AS BULL POWER! - White! Very impressive!
White - About six months ago, I had a brand new baby boy, just like that little boy over there, and the Sheik’s army broke my leg in THREE PLACES! I’LL FACE ALL THREE OF THEM!
Nelson - Leon, Baby Bull… I keep calling you Baby Bull, you’re BULL POWER!
White - I spent five months in Europe, it’s great, but America is the greatest country on the face of the Earth! It’s great to be back in America!
 
anyone catch the horrible editing on the Rhino promo before the Ultimate X match??? You could clearly hear Rhino say "How's that?" after he finished
 
[quote name='guyver2077']have to catch up... been on the road the last two days so havent seen raw or ecw..

[quote name='xpacdos']anyone catch the horrible editing on the Rhino promo before the Ultimate X match??? You could clearly hear Rhino say "How's that?" after he finished[/QUOTE]

I heard that, and it's even more funny when you consider that it was a pre-taped segment and somehow still made it onto the show. Between that and Jay Lethal's entrance mainly consisting of a shot of a camera man's back, TNA had another show with some funny technical snafus. I cannot wait to see the live Impact - they've done dozens of live PPVs and still can't get it right, and they'll have more live viewers than ever before with this live Impact, so shit like that happening on the show would REALLY make them seem second-rate. Even more than the Impact Zone already will.
 
[quote name='PhrostByte']Do you mean earlier tonight or next week? If that's the case.. I'm gonna watch ECW.[/quote]

Its a dark match, so you won't see him.
 
Call Larry Sweeney - 215-781-2250!

Pro Wrestling Guerrilla presents..."1.21 Gigawatts"
Friday, March 21st, 2008 -- Reseda, CA

Unsanctioned Street Fight - Anything Goes
The Human Tornado vs. Necro Butcher
At Scared Straight, Tornado and his allies Claudio Castagnoli and Eddie Kingston deliberately interfered in two matches in order to alter their outcomes. Tornado, dressed mockingly in a Chris Hero t-shirt, came to ringside during Eddie Kingston's match with Necro Butcher, and after a series of brutal attacks that had Kingston all but finished Tornado pulled referee Rick Knox out of the ring, which would ultimately lead to Kingston prevailing over Necro. Then, after successfully retaining the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship title, Human Tornado continued to assault Jack Evans, attempting to once again "break his face. This lead to Necro coming to the aid of Jack Evans, and with a single punch Necro Butcher gained some measure of revenge on World Champion Tornado. This punch was reminiscent of the punch that dislocated the jaw of Tornado at ¡Dia de los Dangerous!, but seemingly more powerful, as Tornado was knocked loopy and unable to stand under his own power for nearly thirty minutes after. Luckily for Tornado, Eddie Kingston and Claudio Castagnoli were there to evacuate the Champion from immediate danger.

Tornado, more confident than ever since winning the title, seems to have quickly turned Necro Butcher into a full-fledged enemy, rather than just an ally of Chris Hero. This became readily apparent when after the show, while enjoying a drink and petting a baby opossum at the bar of the Legion Post #308 (side note: The contents of these write-ups may sometimes seem weird or fantastical in nature, however Necro Butcher was actually carrying a baby opossum in one hand, and a mixed drink in the other after the show, which may or may not be in violation of Los Angeles County health codes), Necro Butcher asked Commissioner Winwood for a shot at Human Tornado on March 21. Because of Necro's loss earlier in the evening, he was not a top ranked challenger for the Pro Wrestling Guerrilla World Championship title, and therefore would not receive a title shot. But due to the circumstances of the Necro's loss at Scared Straight, Dino decided he could give Necro a shot at the champion himself!

After consulting with fellow Commissioner Excalibur earlier today, Dino also made note that this match would also be Unsanctioned. That means, essentially, because of the sheer hatred between these two men, and the great risk of personal injury, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla does not officially recognize this as a "match," rather as a fight between two men that will occur at a certain point during 1.21 Gigawatts on March 21. This move keeps Pro Wrestling Guerrilla's insurance premiums down, but the level of danger at an all time high! Human Tornado will have Eddie Kingston and Claudio Castagnoli ready to back him up if need be, but Necro Butcher will have Chris Hero and the power of the punch, which may be more than enough to topple the World Champion.

Well, seems Hardy fucked up big time. Before the suspension, he was planned to get a WWE title run in the spring(which I guess means he would've won MitB). Now that he's been suspended for the 2nd time, he is going to be midcard for life.

Also people backstage pretty much agree that he's a idiot for getting busted twice. Basically saying that his own worst enemy is himself.

I'm going to disagree and say that he's the patsy, and that he's the "expendable" top-card guy so WWE can say "See? We're doing something, so get off our backs!"

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, everyone else is teeming with HGH and steroids.

We can have this debate again if you want once I get back into town and onto CAG regularly, but in the meantime, I'll say this:

Is Jeff Hardy an idiot? I suppose to some degree; if it's pot he was busted for, that's just pathetic on every conceivable angle, however.

Is Jeff Hardy a fall guy? As they say up here in Minneapolis, "oh, you betcha."

Did you watch the match I put up yesterday?
 
[quote name='Mr_hockey66']I haven't got a chance yet. My connection was taken for ever and it keep jumping on me. I'll try again tonight.[/quote]

I think you'll have to clean your seat after you finish watching it because it'll make you shit your pants.
 
hey zen Man I watched the 1st part of the kenta and mufusa or mufuka or mec-a-laca-hi-a-hini-ho what ever his name is. Man that was sweet. I have to see the rest of that match. Thats the kind of wrestling I want to see. not the current crap we are forced to watch. That mid air kick was cool. They took a beating!
 
Lackluster AWA show tonight, with I believe two repeat matches from last night's show (the DeBeers and Greg Gagne squashes), but also featuring an amusing midget tag with a half-filled building (at best), and shots of the only people enjoying it being guys in trucker hats with missing teeth, a match with THE KILLER TOMATO being beaten by Sherri after a kick to the pussy/splash combo, leading to James Blears explaining how low blows affect men and women differently, and Trongard talking about Fargo's many tattoos, including his swastikas.

Quotes -
Trongard - THE SUPER NINJA, THE SUPER MYSTERY MAN OUT OF JAPAN!
Blears - Professional wrestling is a variety of arts, it’s a combination of the various arts of wrestling - you can use any art in professional wrestling.
Zbysko - Lemme tell ya something - you saw what he can do - he can suplex any man. I don’t see an American wrestler that can match this man. The alliance is simply this - we have something in common - JUSTICE! Justice in terms of the heavyweight championship of the world. Bockwinkel has hired thugs, he’s got Stanley Blackburn! SHUT UP PEOPLE! This man and me are gonna capture the heavyweight championship of the world!
Blears - We get a lot of mail from fans, and you can send it to the Showboat, ESPN, or Verne Gagne in care of the Showboat.
Greg Gagne - I didn’t get it the way I wanted to - he moved out of the way, but the second one got him pretty good.
Nelson - Whatever, it looked like a good maneveur. What about Larry Zbysko?
Gagne - Larry Zbysko is the original spud head. He’s talking about how he’s destined for the AWA World title - that’s my ultimate goal. I’m worried about Jimmy Snuka, but until he’s back in action, Jerry Blackwell and I will take on any combination.

Wrestle Rock ‘86 - midget tag match
Trongard - Big or small, large or tall, the AWA has it all!
Trongard - Lord Littlebrook wants no part of Little Mr. T!
(Little T hits a dropkick, few fans clap, and the camera pans to a half-empty building)Trongard - EVERYBODY LOVES IT!
(after another shot of a half-empty arena)Trongard - THE AWA - THE MAJOR LEAGUE OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING!
Trongard - AIRPLANE SPIN! ROUND AND ROUND HE GOES, WHERE HE GOES….DOWN!

12/21/86

Nelson - Sherri Martel just finished defending her women’s world title AROUND THE WORLD - all around Japan, and she either directly or indirectly controls 3 title belts.
Blears - She’s a tomato - she’s got quite a body!
Trongard - We’re about to see the Killer Tomato!
Trongard - NICE MOVE BY THE KILLER TOMATO!
Blears - Sherri is the manager of the tag champions of the men’s division - that’s why people don’t like her.
(KT kicks Sherri in the ass)Blears - A kick in the ol’ bolle!
Trongard - You don’t need to repeat that! The Tomato is spinning Sherri Martel!
Blears - Sherri’s showing she’s a real champion with that BIG DROPKICK!
Blears - Sherri’s like a wild cat - she’s rough and rugged, but beautiful!
(Sherri kicks KT low)Trongard - What a shot to the Killer Tomato!
Blears - You know, women don’t have the same… muscles that men do - that really hurt her!
Blears - Sherri’s flying through the air! We never thought we’d see women do that, but she did it!
Trongard - This Rheighnans is getting better, bigger, and faster! This Don Fargo is Mr. Tattoo!
Blears - We’ve got a good mix of a street fighter and the amateur, Olympic wrestler.
Blears - Before I retired from wrestling about 6 years ago, I wrestled him in a battle royal.
Trongard - Look at all those tattoos on Don Fargo.
Blears - What’s that say, “God save the queen?”
Trongard - There’s a swastika in there as well.
Blears - A lot of people say that being hit into the turnbuckle doesn’t hurt because it’s padded, but it can bust you open!
Blears - You’re wondering if you’re looking at a snake charmer from Baghdad or…somewhere.
Blears - A lot of fans remember the Fargo brothers of Jackie and Don Fargo, from not that long ago.
Blears - This is wrestling, sports fans! It’s the greatest sport in the world! It’s the greatest conditioner of all sports!
Trongard - This is the AWA - synonymous with the Super Bowl, the World Cup of soccer, the PGA Master’s Cup - the very best in the world!
DeBeers - Snuka thought he could circumvent Colonel DeBeers! I pushed him off the top of the cage because I DON’T LIKE HIS COLOR, AND THAT’S THE ONLY REASON! He can try to come back, but in your heart, you know that the Colonel is capable of defeating you! Now, there have been some Americans who have issued challenges - Jerry Blackwell - you are nothing more than a man who lacks enough discipline to push himself away from a table and he’s from a Southern state, which means he gives up what he believes in. Colonel DeBeers is not such a man!

[quote name='guyver2077']thats crazy.. no digital cameras????

wheres the register link on their forums?[/quote]

They only open up their registration once in a blue moon since people come in and spam the boards. Yeah it's retarded and I've complained about it before. The next time they open up, I'll let you know.

You can sneak a digital camera in if you want. Once it's in, they won't stop you. You can also take pictures with your cell phone and regular disposable cameras.

Given ROH PPV buyrates, them competing with TNA is about as much "competition" as you would get at this point putting TNA head to head with Monday Night Raw.

If you read their newswire, they put TNA over while they hype up TNA vs. ROH. It was quite sad in its own little way.
 
I loved the first hour of Impact tonight - it had some good wrestling, some great promos (especially Joe's), built up the Lockdown PPV, made its main event seem important, and aside from the Rellik/Reign-Guns match, was excellent from start to finish. The second hour started strong with Kaz-Angle, which wasn't as good as their previous match, but gave Kaz yet another chance to shine. I don't think it's wise to have Kaz, who just had a feud with "the monsters" to be getting so many near falls on the world champion, but it fit into the story of the match.

Then things just went to Hell with the second hour, as they had segments with build that weren't mentioned again (the Rough Cut with Kip and BG, Angelina and Velvet attacking Roxxi, and the date with Val and Jay) that should have gotten some mention. The Kurt-Karen stuff brings back the horrid memories of Joe-Angle from Hard Justice being ruined by the soap opera stuff - one saving grace here is that it seems they'll hold off on the soap opera stuff until after Lockdown.

The main event was fine - I liked the build up with Cage trying to find a partner, going to Rhino, and being rejected. I think it's odd that they didn't clue people into their history after that happened, given that it's been many many months since they did anything together of note, but it was also odd for Tenay to build up the first Kaz-Angle match so well and then not show clips of it.

The show-ending melee worked for once, as the scene did actually look chaotic with so many wrestlers, security guys, and Cornette standing around. It was too busy though, with the wrestlers making noise, the commentators talking, and AJ's theme playing in the background. I'm digging 3D back in the main event scene - I liked them in that role in late '05, and they've been on a roll as of late. Tomko getting a chance to captain a team is nice, I just hope they build him up better going into Lockdown, because Christian's statement about Tomko still being a lapdog rang too true tonight, as he ran from the melee, and didn't even respond to Christian when he said that.

It was weird for them to cut away instantly as Scott and Khan shackled Petey, covered his head with a hood, and were getting ready to do...something to him - God knows what (maybe sodomize him, or worse, make him watch the blindfold match from last year's Lockdown), and then never mention it again. It was also weird to not have the Booker-Roode thing mentioned at all aside from very briefly being shown in the show-opening video.

It was one of the most notable things on their otherwise forgettable PPV, and it was left off this show, but the Love/Sky/Roxxi thing was shown, and Super Eric even got a cameo. Hopefully they spend some time on it next week, as there's no real excuse for not at least talking about Roode being a horrible human being for what he did to Traci at the PPV.

They also didn't bring up Elevation X outside of the show-opening video package, and that match featured a man falling off of a scaffold through a table, the victor of it was on the show, and a week ago, it was sold as "the most dangerous match in wrestling", but it wasn't worth mentioning here, unlike the makeover of Roxxi Levoux, or the breakup of VKM.

Quotes -
Cornette - Ladies and gentlmean, thanks for joining us on Impact. I’m here to announce the double main event for Lockdown. In the first main event, the most eagerly anticipated TNA World title match - Kurt Angle putting his title on the line in the six sides of steel, Samoa Joe!
Tenay - THAT’S THE ONE WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR!
Cornette - And also, the other half will take place inside the six sides of steel - it’ll be two teams of four men, in a lethal lockdown match. The roof is lowered with weapons and the winning team, and the winning team is the team that scores the first pinfall. Here are the two captains - captain number 1, the Instant Classic, Christian Cage!
Tenay - YES, THE INSTANT CLASSIC CHRISTIAN CAGE WILL BE ONE OF THE CAPTAINS!
Cornette - Now I’d like to introduce captain number 2, no stranger to Christian Cage, TOMKO!
Tenay - ANOTHER INTERESTING CHOICE!
Cornette - Gentlemen, please conduct yourselves like professionals. You each have two weeks, until the biggest night in TNA Impact history, to give to me the rosters for your respective teams. Gentlemen, may the best team win, are there any questions?
Cage - Crystal clear, Jimbo, but there are some things I have to get off my chest. This is the first time Tomko and I have been face-to-face since you cost me the world title! Look at you, Tomko, you’re the captain of Team Tomko - you’re your own man now, is it everything you dreamed it would be? I know you got a chance to think about it when Joe choked your ass out. Team Cage is gonna take your ass out for the last time! You say you’re ready to take on the world alone, and you can try to convince yourself of that, but you’re still a lapdog. You’re just not mine anymore, you’re Kurt Angle’s!
DW - WOAH!
Cage - It’s like this - you are and always will be a big, jacked-up, bald headed bitch!!
Tenay - WOOOOAAAAHHHHHHHH!
JB - Karen, it’s good to see you! You like coming in through the backdoor? What’s your bombshell tonight?
Karen - I will respect the fact that Kurt has a match tonight, but when he’s done, I will talk to him about our issues.
JB - In front of everyone!?
(to Crystal)Steiner - Shut up, bimbo. Tonight, I’m here to clear up all the confusion with the briefcases. I can command the briefcases. I control the destiny of TNA, which means that you need to bring something to the table to my team. You need to win tonight to go onto Xscape and be the X title champion on your own.
Petey - I think we should SHARE the cases - I should get the X division case, and you can be Scott Steiner - TNA World champion!
Steiner - Why would I do that? Do you know how much guys in the back would pay for an X division title shot!? Your initiation is coming soon, and you don’t want me to initiate you when I’m in a bad mood!
Tenay - There’s nothing like our Lockdown Pay-Per-View. Every year, there’s one BIG Pay-Per-View, and this year, it’s Lockdown!
DW - I haven’t seen many people who are as intimidating as Rhocka Khan - she just has…THAT STARE!
Tenay - Tonight, we’ve got Kurt Angle versus Kaz, who took Angle to the limit and did everything but pin him!
Tenay - Curry Man hit’s the flying cross body - he calls that the Hi-C!
DW - Scott Steiner has handcuffs in his hand!
Tenay - Steiner applies the handcuffs, and she puts the hood over his head! LET’S GO TO JB WITH JIM CORNETTE!
(to Borash)Cornette - You flunked the American Idol audition, chuckle head. I was there, I know what happened. There’s no need to wait until Lockdown - Christian, find a tag team partner, and I’ll serve you up AJ and Tomko.
Ray - Hi, Jimmy, how ya doing?
Cornette - Good until now.
Ray - What’s it like to be the head pirate on this sinking ship? Go get a gun and put the barrel right in your mouth.
Cornette - Ya got one?
Ray - No. We’re here to tell you that there’s no one who can stop Team 3D. Inmates are running the asylum. You’ve got the guns making sitps saying we gotta go on a diet….
Cornette - Didn’t work.
Ray - There’s a jobber dressed like a shark thinking he’s a bald ass-kicker and LOOK AT ALL THE REALITY STARS! If we see the guns tonight, they’re dead. If we see the fish man, he’s dead. If we see the guy with curry on his head, he’s dead, and if there are any reality stars running around here, they’re dead. The only person who isn’t dead is a washed-up manager of old tag teams. See ya, Jim.
(to JB)Cornette - See what I gotta deal with?
Joe - You know, one month from tonight, I get something I’ve been wanting for the past 3 years - a fiar opportunity at the TNA World championship. With every opportunity, there comes risk, but first, lemme shout out some people that helped me get where I am today. First, Kevin Nash - thank you very much. They say it takes a man to admit he’s wrong,a nd I couldn’t be more wrong. You taught me a hard lesson and how to play the game. I’d also like to thank the TNA Impact fans.
Tenay - THEY’VE SUPPORTED JOE SINCE DAY ONE! THEY’VE BEEN 100% BEHIND HIM!
Joe - As much as I owe big Kev, these people are the reason I’m here in TNA! When people said I was too violent for television, they said “Joe was gonna kill you!”. When they said that my style wasn’t for today’s wrestling, they said it was. Kurt, that’s why you gotta realize, when they lock the cage, I’LL DO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING TO WIN THE TNA WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP! Kurt, this is no longer a game. I’m coming hunting and I’m hunting for you! Two men will enter, one champion will leave, and I guarantee you Kurt, it will be me! If by some act of God, I walk out of that ring and I’m not champion, it’s the last time you’ll see me in an Impact ring. The thing you gotta understand is that these people want a new world champion, and I’m that champion. (fans chant “JOE, JOE, JOE“) That’s why I came out here tonight, because the next time I walk out of the Impact zone, I’ll be champion. I am Samoa Joe and I AM PRO WRESTLING! I’m coming out with the belt! Thank you to all the fans here and at home. Good night.
Tenay - THE STAKES DON’T GET ANY BIGGER! HE SAID THAT I DON’T WIN THE TITLE, YOU’LL NEVER SEE ME IN TNA AGAIN!
Cage - Rhino…
Rhino - I think you’re in the wrong locker room.
Cage - I’ve been preaching to anyone who will listen that I need a partner tonight. You handle your business face-to-face, like a man. Let’s talk.
(he shoves lockers)Rhino - There’s nothing left to say.
Tenay - At Destination X, Rellik and Black Reign met their match, and can you believe it, their match was Eric Young!?
DW - It wasn’t Eric Young, IT WAS SUPER ERIC!
Tenay - It’s interesting that Christian went to Rhino first.
DW - Yes, but Rhino, not forgetting their history, rejected his offer. I’m surprised he didn’t go to Kevin Nash first - he’s had Christian’s back for the past month!
Tenay - I COULDN’T AGREE MORE!
Tenay - Welcome back to Impact - it’s just like what you saw before!
Tenay - Decapitation clothesline by Rellik!
DW - OH AND IT WAS A DECAPITATION CLOTHESLINE! TOOK HIS HEAD OFF!
Reign - Eric Young, you wanna play games at Destination X!? YOU WANNA RUN IN LIKE SOME SUPERHERO, WELL ERIC YOUNG, MR. SUPERHERO, WE’RE STANDING RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! WHY DON’T YOU DO IT NOW WHILE WE’RE EXPECTING IT!
DW - HERE HE IS, SUPER ERIC!
Tenay - OOOH YEAAHHH! HE’S GOT CONFIDENCE ON HIS SIDE, LET’S GO TO JB WITH AJ STYLES!
AJ - Karne, oh my God, are you okay? I was so worried about ya. I was worried sick.
Karen - I had a few things I had to sort out.
AJ - What’d you have to sort out?
Karen - It wouldn’t be fair for me to tell you before Kurt. Just trust me, okay?
AJ - Okay… all right, I’ll see ya later.
Tomko- Is she in your head again? We’ve got Christian right where we want him. Get your head out of your ass and get it in the game.
AJ - I’m fine.
Tomko - YOU’RE NOT FINE! I’m sick of this schoolboy crush you’ve got on her! GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS!
Tenay - There are certain matches here on Thursday Night Impact that are so memorable that you remember everything about them, and for me, one was when Kaz took Kurt Angle to the limit and did everything but beat him!
Tenay - You’ve gotta give the kid props! He came close, but Angle ended up getting the W!
Angle - Joe, you made the biggest mistake of your life. As much as you wanna kick my ass, I wanna kick your ass even more! See Joe, I’m a true champion, I’m a winner, I’m not a loser - like you. When it’s on the line, I win - I AM THE BEST EVER! Today! To be the best ever of all-time, I need to beat you at Lockdown, so you’re gonna have to be prepared. You take your fat ass back home and you train your ass off and you get ready, because at Lockdown, it may be your last match, but I’ll consider it your best, Samoa Joe!
Angle - Karen, you’re always trying to upsage me, what is it?
Karen - I want a separation!
Angle - What? Come again?
Karen - I’ve been thinking about it for a while, and I think it would be good for us if we separated.
Angle - Are you kidding me? THAT’S A GREAT IDEA! THAT’S AWESOME! Now I can completely focus on Samoa Joe and not have to put up with your high maintenance! Do I have to sign any papers?
Karen - No.
Angle - And you’ll take care of the kids?
Karen - Yeah.
Angle - Yeah, you got a deal! After Lockdown, we’ll talk.
Tenay - WHERE ARE HIS PRIORITIES!? No wife, no kids, JUST SAMOA JOE AT LOCKDOWN! NO ONE CAN QUESTION HOW MUCH THE TNA WORLD TITLE MEANS TO KURT ANGLE!
BG - I was fired from the other company for my drug use. I’m not perfect, but I’ve got my head and body on straight now. I was in a rehab facility when Jeff Jarrett said we had a new company.
Kip - Why did I come to TNA? I was sick of the other company.
BG - Me and Ronnie had fun and that was good. What Kip and I did in the past was quite successful. Not only did we cause chaos on and off camera, and it felt like we had to do it again.
Kip - The bond was kinda there, but it kinda wasn’t there.
BG - I feel like reuniting was kinda forced upon me, and I think that if that hadn’t happened, maybe things would be better.
Hemme - WE ARE THE BEST ROCK BAND EVER!
Rave - WE LOVE YOU JERSEY!
Hemme - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS, MY FRIEND!
Hoyt - HOOOWWWLLLL!
Hemme - ARE YOU READY FOR THE ROCK AND RAVE INFEEECCCTTIIOOOONNNN!?
Tenay - LAX haven’t been TNA tag champs since April of 2007.
DW - That’s since LAST LOCKDOWN - THINK ABOUT THAT!
DW - Boy, it’s jaw-dropping when we see Hernandez just start throwin’ people!
Jay - Dueling Dragon? MORE LIKE RICKY THE DRAGON!
DW - LET’S SEND IT BACK TO CRYSTAL AS VELVET SKY AND ANGELINA LOVE ARE GIVING ROXXI LEAVAUX A MAKEOVER! (they beat her up) COMING UP, WHO WILL CHRISTIAN CAGE FIND AS HIS PARTNER!?
(during Lockdown ad)DW - I’ve never, ever been afraid for somebody in the ring.
Gail - Why I have Velvet Sky? I have no idea. Kong, I’m not going to stop until I get the TNA Knockouts title.
Tenay - OH COME ON, YOU’RE 275 AND 3-8THS POUNDS AND YOU’RE ATTACKING GAIL KIM FROM BEHIND!?
DW - Gail is so special - she just won’t quit!
DW - ODB’S GOT A CHAIR, BUT IT’S TOO LATE FOR GAIL KIM!
Crystal - Who are you gonna ask now?
Nash - I’d like to know that myself - did I not do everything I said I’d do at the PPV? I’ve got plenty of diesel left in this tank. I don’t understand what’s going on around here. Are you going alone or am I coming with you?
Tenay - Now we can refer to him as Captain Christian Cage!
Tenay - When it comes to picking Nash as his partner, I gotta ask - WHAT TOOK YA SO LONG, CHRISTIAN CAGE!?

It's not this name. It's something far more retarded. I actually like the Zen Davis moniker.
 
I saw a bit of Impact last night. I have to admit, Jay Lethal's impersonation of Macho Man is pretty dead on. It's entertaining if nothing else. I miss the old Jay, but Macho Jay is cool.

Nice wardrobe malfunction on Christy Hemme BTW. I always wonder if promoters secretly hope that sort of thing happens "by accident".

I don't know why, but I like the fact Awesome Kong is pretty much the female version of the Big Show and whoops pretty much everyones ass with little effort.

Angelina Love is fast becoming a favorite of mine.

When did that happen? I watched that match and didn't even notice it.

Also, was it just me or was Angle wrestling in sneakers last night?
 
I'm glad that TNA is giving Curry Man some wins, as he's clearly very over with the crowd. In fact, this is probably the most success that Daniels has had in TNA in months.

Has anyone found a mp3 of Curry Man's TNA entrance theme?

I just went to search for it on the site Jay posted a couple pages back, and it seems all the themes have been taken down due to a letter from WWE.

Near the end of the match. Angelina had one a couple of weeks ago when Kong powerbombed her too. I think my years of watching fanservice in anime have made my wardrobe malfunction detector quite acute. :lol:
