:) My new computer will be here on Monday and as soon as I get the money, I plan on buying a HD-DVD/Blu-Ray drive to put in it.

Guess you can call me purple now :cool:
 
If there was any doubt left that TNA was sifting through the dumpsters behind WWE HQ for old storylines, what just happened erased them completely.

fuck, I was so busy I forgot about Impact!

What did I miss?
 
Early in the show Steiner gave Petey the case with the X-Division title shot, which he then used to pull an Edge on Jay Lethal after his title match against Johnny Devine.
 
1205818199064.jpg
 
Impact was a mess tonight. Morgan and Booker both came off as huge assholes tonight during their promos despite apparently being faces. Why should he care that Morgan helped him beat a man that he has no problem with? Why would he even give a shit about it - he's there to kick Roode's ass, and Morgan did nothing to prevent him from doing that. I think they announced Sting versus Booker for next week, which would be incredibly stupid to do with just a week's build, despite NEXT WEEK BEING THE BIGGEST IMPACT IN HISTORY! I guess replacing the previous biggest Impact in history - the show from a few weeks ago that was live, which they're claiming next week's show is as well.

Beyond that, we got the shit with Petey cashing in his Feast or Fired case, after a far too elaborate assault of Lethal that gave Lethal time to recover - completely missing the point of what made Edge's use of the case work. Lethal beat a guy in an average match and barely broke a sweat doing so - Edge did it after the champion either in either a grueling chamber or cage match and was physically exhausted. He also didn't pause for a commercial break.

God, then there's the shit with the tag belts. fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. Why are Styles, and particularly Tomko, stuck in anything anywhere near Super Eric? The whole situation is baffling, and contrary to what TNA thinks, acknowledging how stupid something is on TV DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM! Great, now we've got no tag champs after having a set of good ones in Tomko and AJ. At least we got some fun Cornette rants out of it.

His stuff with the knockouts backstage made no real sense - the women haven't all been established as selfish before tonight, nor have their been any on-air complaints made about the shit Cornette babbled about, plus he gave a long BACK IN MY DAY, WE DROVE 500 MILES IN THE SNOW!!! speech that made him come off like an insane old coot when he's supposed to be taken seriously, and it didn't even lead to anything beyond a vague announcement of something for next week's Impact, THE NEW BIGGEST IMPACT EVER IN THE HISTORY OF IMPACT!

Roxxi-Kong was easily the best match on the show, but was of course instantly forgotten so they could do an interview with THE MEGA STAR KIP JAMES! Again, they made mention of a problem with the show by having James Storm just talk about how much of a has-been Kip is, which does nothing to solve the problem of Kip in fact being a has-been living off his reputation from a decade ago.

Oh, and Team 3D now hates each other. I'm looking forward to the promos being cut on one another before they have a match, and then inevitably team up again because they have little long-term future without being partners.

Angle-Joe for next week was built up very well, aside from Angle veering into old comedy Kurt by bitching about his dressing room being taken away from him. Steiner's promo was amazing, although I could have done without Angle burying Steiner, given that Steiner is supposed to be a PPV draw for Sacrifice, and stating that he hasn't done anything in decades right after he competed in the shitfest known as cuffed in the cage doesn't help him.

Quotes -
Ad guy - At Lockdown, FANS WITNESSED HISTORY! (followed by)
DW- ROXXI LEVAUX IS THE QUEEN OF THE CAGE!
Tenay - TONIGHT ON IMPACT, THREE CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES!
Joe - TNA FANS, WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS! Kurt, when you wrapped that vise-like grip around my ankle, I’ll admit, I started to lose - I began losing my will, but there’s one big difference. I looked up into the eyes of TNA fans. KURT, WHEN I LOOKED UP, I KNEW ONE THING, THAT THERE WAS NO SURRENDER, THERE WAS NO QUIT, AND IW OULD BE THE NEW TNA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! You see Kurt, that’s why I’m here tonight, because this, my first TNA championship run, is dedicated to you, the TNA fans! To all you fans at home, this belt will be defended with respect, with honor, and with the blood on my fists!
Tenay - THAT’S COMING FROM THE HEART OF JOE!
Joe - Here we stand in the Impact Zone, where it all began. It’s real, it’s damn real.(Steiner’s theme hits)
Tenay - WHAT’S THIS!?
Steiner - I have to break up this love fest with all your redneck fans, but I’m here to talk about Sacrifice. What Sacrifice really means. Little Petey Pump, when you were going through all my initiations, you sacrificed your honor and your dignity just to get my respect, so in return, I’m gonna give you the X division title shot. You can use it at any time. As far as my world title shot at Sacrifice, when I look at you, and I look at me, I see that Sacrifice has a totally different meaning. I’ve sacrificed my whole life to become a star athlete at Michigan and that’s why I’m a genetic freak! I look at you and your fat ass, and the only thing you’ve sacrificed is that when it’s time to eat 4 twinkies, you ate 5. When it was time to eat a burger, you ate one with cheese and mayo. You are the first person I can say this about - bigger isn’t better. You need to curb your eating habits before you have to borrow a bra and girdle from the knockouts. YOU ARE GENETIC JUNK! I’ve been a champion in WCW, the WWF, Japan, the only place I haven’t been a world champion is right here in TNA, and that all changes at Sacrifice. At Sacrifice, you’re gonna be my sacrificial lamb.
Angle - Joe, first of all, no excuses - man to man, you beat me at Lockdown. Now being the champion that I am, I always learn from my mistakes. Whenever I have a match, even if it’s a classic like we had a Lockdown, when that match is over, win or lose, I always learn from it. I never make the same mistake twice. Now as far as you Mr. Steiner, you have a title shot at Sacrifice, and quite frankly, you have earned it, even though your last big win was in 1975 with your idiot brother against the Road Warrior. No offense. You have a title shot at Sacrifice, but that doesn’t mean you’re gonna wrestle Joe.
Tenay - WHAT?!
Angle - Joe, I guess you didn’t read my contract - there’s a title rematch clause! Which means I can have my rematch for the title anytime I choose. So with that, I have decided to have my match right here on Impact next week!
DW - WHOAH!
Angle - It’s gonna be Angle vs. Joe for the TNA World heavyweight championship, live, FREE ON SPIKE TV! THAT’S REAL, THAT’S DAMN REAL!
DW - KURT ANGLE HAS JUST INVOKED A REMATCH CLAUSE!
Tenay - CAN YOU IMAGINE!? ANGLE-JOE - TNA WORLD TITLE NEXT WEEK! ON THAT NOTE, LET’S GO TO THE BACK WITH LAUREN AND RHINO AND CHRISTIAN CAGE!
Cage - They say that anything can happen, and me and Rhino are proof that it’s true. We grew up in this business, had a blow-up, but going forward, going singles or tag team - who know what the future holds?
Rhino - We’ve been through hell together…
Ray - Hell? Who let this skank in here?
Devon - Christian, whether you screw Rhino tonight, or in a month, he will screw you.
Ray - Rhino, what happened to the animal in ECW? You’re nothing but a big puss. You wanna fight me, Rhino? I wanna fight you! But not now! Guys!
Tenay - Oh, they’re BEATING THE HELL, BEATING THE HELL OUT OF RHINO AND CHRISTIAN!
(to J.B., about Devine)Black Machismo - As far as Repo Man goes, he tried to take my belt before!
DW - WHAT WAS SONJAY DUTT DOING IN THE BATHROOM WITH SO CAL VAL!?
Sadler - I don’t know, but without Sonjay and Val, I think Devine could become X division champion.
DW - Devine is crucifying the Black Machismo!
(as Devine dominates)Sadler - It looks like Johnny Devine merchandise is gonna be hot in a couple days!
Sadler - The X division isn’t about no limits…
DW - LITTLE PETEY PUMP JUST HIT LETHAL WITH THE CASE!
Tenay - WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON AROUND HERE!? (show goes to commercial)
Tenay - During the break, Petey hit a tornado DDDT on the case, then closed it on his head and stomped it!
Petey - THE MATCH STARTS RIGHT NOW!
Sadler - What a smart move by Petey - he’s got a one in a lifetime opportunity to win the title! SCOTT STEINER HAS DONE WONDERS FOR PETEY WILLIAMS!
Tenay - THIS IS SICK! WE’VE GOT A NEW CHAMP! TO THE BACK WITH LAX!
Morgan - Now it’s pretty much a foregone conclusion about what my relationship with Jim Cornette was. He was like a father to me, and he taught me that timing is EVERYTHING! Matt Morgan is gonna make his time NOW! To hear guys complain about their pay, or their spot on the card for Sacrifice, that’s a joke! To get my foot in the door in TNA, I had to be a bodyguard for TNA management - that’s not just a sin, that’s a sacrifice. To have to wear a suit at seven feet tall, THAT’S A SACRIFICE. My name is gonna be remembered for years, not as a prototype, but as the BLUE PRINT FOR BIG MEN! I’m gonna prove why I’m the most athletically stacked, genetically-jacked big man in wrestling today!
Ad guy - TNA Impact is brought to you by Harold and Kumar go to Guantanamo Bay.
Lauren - Joe, as expected, you’ve got a big red target on your head - if you can get through Kurt Angle next week, you face Scott Steiner at Sacrifice.
Joe - Lauren, it comes with the territory. Boys, you have to ask yourselfs that after everything I’ve sacrificed that you can take this belt from me? The belt have wanted me to have this belt more than you wanted anything, Kurt. This belt is the standard of this business. Fans pay to see this belt defended with their skill, not their politics. Kurt, you wanna know who the undisputed champion of the world is, and I will make it apparent that I AM THAT MAN!
(show then deals with glitches, as a black screen and an ad for a movie are quickly shown during a TNA video package)
DW - At Lockdown, Super Eric dove off the top of the cage, and allowed he and Kaz to become the champions!
DW - Team Tomko vs. Team Cage was one of the greatest matches I’ve ever seen in Lethal Lockdown!
Tenay - WHERE DID ERIC GO!? YOU DON’T THINK IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER APPEARANCE OF YOU KNOW WHO!?
DW - I DON’T KNOW!
Tenay - Eric Young headed TO THE BACK!
(after a plancha)DW - HERNANDEZ IS SUPER-MEXICAN! IT’S AMAZING!
Tenay - IT’S TNA’S SUPERHERO! SUPER ERIC!
Tenay - NEW CHAMPS! NEW CHAMPS!
Tenay - WE’RE BACK ON IMPACT, AND THERE’S CONTROVERSY STEMMING FROM THE TAG TITLE MATCH!
AJ - WHAT HAPPENED OUT THERE!? OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE!
Cornette - GET YOUR BUTT OFF MY DESK, HOW CAN SUPER ERIC INTERFERE IN A MATCH HE WAS ALREADY IN!?
AJ - Super Eric had no idea who Eric Young was - IT’S INTERFERENCE! ASK HIM IF HE’S TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE! HE’S TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE!
Cornette - So you want me to ask a guy if he’s two different people? OKAY! FINE! LEAVE ME ALONE!
Tenay - Boy, TNA management’s Jim Cornette seems flustered!
DW - But ya gotta wonder if AJ has a point!
(on 3D-Cage/Rhino)Tenay - STAR POWER GALORE - BIG NAMES HERE ON IMPACT! This is the first of what Jim Cornette has labeled as LOCKDOWN REVENGE MATCHES!
Tenay - CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!? JOE-ANGLE ON FREE TV!
DW - THINK ABOUT IT - YOU’VE HAD TO PAY FOR ALL OF THEIR MATCHES BEFORE! THIS WEEK, NEXT WEEK I MEAN, YOU CAN WATCH THOSE TWO BATTLE IT OUT FOR THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP ON SPIKE!
Tenay - JUDGING BY THE BODY LANGUAGE AND FACIAL EXPRESSIONS OF BROTHER RAY, HE’S NOT HAPPY WITH DEVON!
Tenay - YOU DON’T PUT YOUR FACE RIGHT IN MY FINGER! YOU DON’T PUT YOUR FINGER RIGHT IN MY FACE IS WHAT DEVON JUST SAID TO RAY!
Cornette - Eric, listen to me - AJ Styles is ranting saying that it was outside interference, as ridiculous as it sounds, and that you and Kaz should be stirppled of the world tag titles.
EY - That’s your call.
Cornette - You interfered, but you didn’t interfere because it’s a match you were in… the lights are on, but no one’s home. JB, are gonna follow me around like a stalker all night? (knockouts argue in the next room)WHAT THE HELL IS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE!? YOU WANNA BE ON FOOD STAMPS! I AM SICK OF YOU BITCHES PISSING AND MOANING, YOU WANT BETTER CATERING, YOU WANT LOW-FAT MEAT, YOU’RE ALL SPOILED! BACK IN MY DAY, WE HAD TO DRIVE 500 MILES, 6 PEOPLE TO A CAR, AND IN THE WINTER, THE HEATER DIDN’T WORK! YOU ARE SPOILED, AND IT’S GONNA COME TO AN END! IF THERE ARE PEOPLE MAKING SACRIFICES, IT’S GONNA BE YOU, BY GUM! SPOILED BRATS!
Cornette - Hold on just a second, I wanna apologize to the TNA fans for all the stupidity happening on this program! We’re gonna try to make this real simple, just like you, AJ Styles. AJ’s claiming that Eric Young and Super Eric are two different people - what we’re gonna do is have Eric Young come out and admit that they’re on and the same. Eric Young, come out and explain your identity.
DW - Kaz has both belts, but there’s no Eric or Super Eric - THIS THING JUST GETS MORE CONFUSING!
Cornette - Eric Young, I’m sick of this, you either get out here, or I’m gonna strip you of these belts! GET YOUR BUTT OUT HERE! 1-2! (Super Eric’s theme hits)
Tenay - HE ASKED FOR ERIC YOUNG, BUT HE GETS SUPER ERIC INSTEAD - THIS JUST ADDS ANOTHER LAYER OF CONFUSION TO THIS MESS!
DW - I’m starting to think AJ Styles has a valid point.
Cornette - I remember when I actually had some dignity left - please say that you’re Eric Young so I can get some peace and quiet!
Super Eric - Who, Commissioner Gordon? I know nothing of this Eric Young you speak of, fast-talking man!
Cornette - I’M STARTING TO LOSE MY PATIENCE, TELL ‘EM WHO YOU ARE!
Super Eric - Why is your face getting red?
Kaz - Le me talk to him. Eric, joke’s over bro - were talking about the tag team titles. Tell Jim that you’re Eric Young and let’s go celebrate!
Super Eric - THAT I CANNOT DO, HANDSOME LADIES MAN, FOR I AM SUPER ERIC! SON OF MOLTAR, FATHER OF ZION!
DW - What in the World? Son of Moltar?
Cornette - This is the way you want it to be? Find a doctor - you two are stripped of the world tag team championship. WOAH, I SAID THEY STRIPPED OF THE TITLES, ID IDN’T SAY YOU WERE THE CHAMPIONS!
DW - WHAT’S HE DOING!?
Cornette - LOOK HERE, EVERYONE SAW YOU LOSE THESE THINGS EXCEPT THE SON OF ZORRO OVER HERE, SO AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED, THERE ARE NO CHAMPIONS, SO I’M GONNA TAKE THESE BACK AND GET AWAY FROM YOU LUNATICS! Now excuse me while I go put a corotid artery through my neck!
Tenay - TO THE BACK WITH LAUREN AND ONE OF THE LOCKDOWN REVENGE TEAMS!
Kip - Do you not know who I am? I AM A MEGA STAR - KIP JAMES! I am the man who beat his partner up and retired his old-ass Marine daddy. I’m YOUR DADDY! I owned your redneck ass, you can go down there.
Lauren - Down where?
Kip - DOWN THERE! HAHA, I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU FELL FOR THAT!
Storm - Enough, the joke’s over. You’re just mad cuz your cowboy gimmick didn’t get over. Sting, you clown, after I beat you, I become a bigger star. Sting, you can go back and tell your kids, and your kids’ kids that I want through hell and got my ass beat by the Cowboy.
Roode - Booker, when you came into TNA, you thought your name and power were gonna take you to the top, but what you didn’t know was that Robert Roode was gonna stop you in your tracks. I have made your life and your wife completely miserable. Why stop tonight? Booker T, bring the clown, bring the redneck, because all three of yas are gonna find out that it pays to be Roode.
Tenay - Kong is here to defend that championship gold belt! The number one contender is here as the challenger!
Tenay - Welcome back to this VERY SPECIAL TNA Impact!
Tenay - Next week, you only have to say these words - Kurt Angle versus Samoa Joe - TNA World Heavyweight title - EPIC BATTLE!
Tenay - To JB with the man who challenges Joe for the TNA Title next Thursday, Kurt Angle!
(Angle goes to his dressing room to find it closed)Angle - WHERE’S MY SIGN! THIS IS LIKE MY LITTLE KINGDOM!
J.B. - Well, ti’s the champ’s dressing room…
Angle - I’M THE CHAMPION! I slipped up once! I didn’t become Kurt Angle, a household name, by being a champion, I became it by bouncing back! Next week, Joe’s gonna slip! And I’m gonna be champion again! WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO EARN SOME RESPECT AROUND HERE!? I’M GONNA MAKE JOE HURT! IT’S GONNA BE A REALLY SHORT REIGN, NEXT WEEK, I GET THE TITLE BACK! IT’S REAL! GET OUT OF MY WAY!
Tenay - TNA’s icon, PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING’S ICON - STING! IT’S OUR LOCKDOWN REVENGE SIX-MAN TAG MAIN EVENT!
Tenay - What better way to get ready for Angle-Joe next week than by watching the replay of Lockdown!?
DW - You won’t even want to see Angle-Joe next week until you see it at Lockdown!
(on BG vs. Kip)DW - Boy, I thought that it was just gonna be one of those feel-good feuds that ended with a hand shake, but Kip turned dirty!
(Morgan helps Booker win)Booker - Look man, I don’t need no help from you! And if you want to back him Sting, you gotta problem with me. WHAT YOU JUST SAID IS BULL! If you want some, you can get some too, but your ass better be big enough and bad enough to take some! NEXT WEEK!
Tenay - WHAT!? THEY’VE BEEN FRIENDS FOR YEARS! THAT NEXT WEEK, PLUS ANGLE VERSUS JOE, THERE’S NEVER BEEN AN IMPACT LIKE WE’LL HAVE NEXT WEEK!

One reason that TNA looks incredibly cheap...







TNA is now experiencing some technical difficulties.


 
Give me your advice. I have three ROH tickets for Hammerstein. $50 each. I'm thinking about selling them and putting the proceeds towards a PS3. What do you guys think I should do? I have another $100 in a bank that I can move towards a PS3 as well.

Thoughts?

No!

What are you retarded? The Hammerstein show is going to be insane and you are going to trade that experience away for a subpar game console?
 
Man why hasn't Santino been given a stable? Thats a word you don't hear too often anymore. Bring back the F.B.I. or something. Palumbo and Nunzio aren't really doing anything, that is if Nunzio is still employed.
 
There's rumors of bringing in Al Barone as a 'bodyguard' for Santino. I think he'll fit the role nicely, though the first time I saw Barone hanging out at an OVW show, I thought he was someone's grandfather. Imagine Big Bully Busick if he were a paisan.
 
They're 3rd row tickets. Seats 5-7. Directly across from the hard cam so most likely you'd get on the DVD/PPV. This isn't 100% Halo5. Keep that in mind.

I mean I've hit up every single ROH NYC show in 2007 (9 Total Including Edison) and I've already seen 4 Ring of Honor shows already in 2008 so I'm on pace to beat 2007.

I'm not terribly excited by the card. Right now it's...

I mean if I approach it as simply good wrestling, yeah, then it ought to be a good show. I feel kind of pissed and bitter that the midwest got Kota Ibushi and the Murder City Machines and New York City gets fucking Johnny Fairplay. What the fuck is that shit?!

I can probably get in for free anyway.
 
[quote name='JaytheGamefan']Roxxi-Kong was easily the best match on the show,
[/quote]


Yep. I am digging the ladies. Kong is awesome (no pun intended) as a monster heel. I really like Roxxi's gimmick now.
 
[quote name='Sporadic']No!

What are you retarded? The Hammerstein show is going to be insane and you are going to trade that experience away for a subpar game console?[/quote]

Be fair. I'd like the Blu-ray and at least they don't RROD like the 360. I hate dealing with consoles that crap out for no good reason.
 
Hopefully someone in RoH will pull a Danny Bonaduce and drop Johnny Fairplay on his face and break his teeth again.

[quote name='Zen Davis']Be fair. I'd like the Blu-ray and at least they don't RROD like the 360. I hate dealing with consoles that crap out for no good reason.[/quote]

Are you selling extra tickets and still going or are you selling yours? I'd go to the show and just get a PS3 later. They're not going anywhere (literally).
 
[quote name='neocisco']Are you selling extra tickets and still going or are you selling yours? I'd go to the show and just get a PS3 later. They're not going anywhere (literally).[/quote]

I'm contemplating selling my own personal tickets. I write for a wrestling site that gets passes to ROH shows so I'm sure I could get a pass for free. I'd be there with the writing staff though, although I'd rather be with my brother instead.

They're supposed to make some kind of announcement on 4/20 which could easily be RVD or it might be something stupid like Ring of Honor getting six more PPV dates. I'll probably wait until then to make my decision. Halo5 wants my tickets as you can see above, but in case I do go, I've contacted a few people and posted on the ROH boards to try and find him some good seats.
 
- Kevin (Thorn) Fertig and Drew (McIntyre) Galloway have both been removed from the WWE.com roster pages. WWE has not announced releases of either so it appears both have been sent down to FCW.

Brak was supposed to go to ROH today with a friend. I wonder if he went.

Here is the update:

Brak is on a mission from God. He tried buying tickets last night only to find them not available on the site. It turns out that ROH stops selling tickets online on the Wednesdays prior to the event in question because they can't possibly mail them to you. Now Brak is trying to make it to the Detroit ROH show with-in the next 40 minutes before the show starts not knowing whether or not he'll be able to buy tickets (which he can since ROH never ever withholds a ticket from a person if they ask for one - If you ask ROH will have a ticket for you). I wonder if he'll make it.

This is awesome. :)

New Update:

God wasn't on Brak's side today. His friends bailed. :cry:
 
I'm flipping between Smackdown and Arena Football right now, I guess they're forgetting the European and Cruiserweight titles existed since they said Matt's never held singles gold. He probably had the Hardcore belt sometime too. I guess they're just trying to build the importance of him getting the belt at Backlash though. Bout time MVP drop it and so he can move on to bigger things.

Yeah, that struck me as odd, too. It also makes me miss the European title, which then makes me miss D'Lo.

I still think the best thing to have down over the past year would've been to re-activate the European title and made it the second belt on ECW. Sure, the ECW belt isn't really considered a 'real' title anyway, but at least one more belt would give everyone else something to do. Plus, the Euro belt is already established and a 'third-tier' belt anyway, so I always felt it would work out.
 
Word is that Alex Shelly and Chris Sabin vs. Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black was a match of the year candidate that had the near 1000+ crowd on their feet. The match had rivaled the feel of last year's Briscoes vs. Murder City Machine Guns match.

The Briscoes vs. Kota Ibushi and Austin Aries is said to be insane. Everyone went crazy and hit everything that they possibly could.

Guyver missed out.

Someone says: "
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]My favorite part of the show was the fat kid trying to steal the Section C sign and crying a fit when ROH took it back. "They didn't have any right.""[/FONT]
 
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]WOW. What a helluva night it was, i just got back sometime earlier and the ability to capture all of the great things that happened will be damn near impossible to do.

First off, i brought a total of 22 people into the show today, 15+ of which were fairly new to the product or just totally fresh to it period and by the end of the night, every single one of them was TOTALLY hooked.

Matches came off great, preshow match was meh, as i don't care much for Mattson and i could care any less for everybody's favorite "Sugarfoot"

Silas Young vs Rhett Titus was a great showing, esp for Young which for most people that don't know much about him, he is one talented mofo, he's got alot of charisma and his workrate is awesome, he impressed me yet again tonight.

The six man with the lower guys was a pretty enjoyable match, that one guy "Elgin" did look very impressive although i was annoyed to hell by these group of fanboys not far from us chanting for him obnoxiously the whole early part of the show and of course none of us knew who he was at all and they would chant other stupid things that just made me chant back STFU, like calling Jacobs "old timer" and some other bs.

Jigsaw & Matthews was good too, my first time seeing "Mercury" under the ROH banner since leaving the WWE and he was pretty violent and cold-hearted but calculating, had some pretty good moves he pulled out, some looked more awkward than others but i def liked the swinging neckbreaker off the 2nd rope, good thing for Jigsaw that he won because that makes him look good esp against someone of Matthews caliber.

Nigel & Claudio vs Steenerico was another solid match, def one of my choices for match of the night. Nigel was all over Steen's case the whole pre-match comparing him to a contestant on the World's Biggest Loser, being nothing more than just a fat guy that cracks jokes, Steen definitely proved him wrong and stepped up his A game when he got the chance, the passion was in full effect, there were dueling HEY! OLE! chants after each strike by Claudio and Generico.

Claudio definitely proved himself worthy of a title shot after tonight's performance, esp to steal the spotlight from Nigel by scoring the win after that SICK gorilla press into a Euro Uppercut followed by the RIIIICOLA!! Bomb, totally awesome finish and to see Claudio posing with the title afterward, a great taste of things to come.

Delirious vs Necro was a sick battle, definitely as much as i expected and then some, one of the best parts was seeing one of the security guys sitting at ringside get totally creamed with the clothesline by Delirious, he took that like a pro and was out like a light for the whole match, we were all dyin by my section. Necro was nuts, did his bodyslam with a chair spot, went crazy and slammed a bunch of chairs on Delirious on the outside and followed that up with showering the ring with chairs as well as they both took bumps on piles of chairs, Zach Gowen was there playing Cheerleader for Necro, and when it started to look like he was getting ganged up on, Daizee Haze made the run in and eliminated gowen, took his cane and broke it off his back and cheap shotted him, she got a massive pop and it was really awesome for her. Delirious lost after a backbreaker on two folding chairs pushed together back to back, needless to say, that was SICK.

Before i ramble further about the show, i need to make my notes on my memorable moments of the evening. When we started intermission, my good friend Reilly was paged over the arena to show at the Merchandise stands for somethin we weren't sure of at the time, so next thing we know, we're chanting his name for the few of us in front row and all my 15+ friends in General admission joined in and were chanting with us : REILLY! REILLY! REILLY! REILLY! it was quite a moment.

Vulture Squad vs Sweet n Sour - I could've given a more legitimate report on how the match was, but i was too busy heckling Dempsey and all of his whale gerth on the outside, i cannot believe they're making him come out there and expose all of that nasty blubber, it's just uhhh *Shudders* Some of the best parts saw Hagadorn smacking Dempsey right in his oversized gerth and laughing, eventually Dempsey crawled under the ring and i yelled him down, told him to stay under there and cry like the woman he is, because yeah, all my friends always constantly chant at him " YOUR A WOMAN! " and he will never hear the end of it.

I will admit, it was great seeing Jack back in action, he definitely hasn't missed a beat, all his spots were right on and him and Ruckus defintely blend well together, def nice to see them get the win and a nice touch for Hero to be all serious now, i like the new attitude.

Briscoes vs Ibushi/Aries was another of the best matches of the night, esp just for Ibushi alone, that guy is one helluva athlete, once he gets fired up, he tears the house down. Seeing what i did of him on the highlight vids on rohvideos.com definitely did justice to what he's capable of, he's one STIFF kicker and he is very talented with his flips too, esp with the backflip into the pele to one of the Briscoes on the top rope, that's just nuts.
Too many things to name, other than the fact that the match was definitely amazing and i'm glad aries was in good shape to wrestle, he didn't disappoint one bit.

MCMG vs AOTF - Definitely gotta say this stole the show, crowd was on fire since the Guns were back in ROH and esp in their hometown, my friend Dennis got his moment in as always, Shelley was on the apron watching the match and he screamed at him while it got quiet " SHELLEY YOUR THE F***IN MAN!! " and Shelley looks at him and smiles and points n follows up with a peace sign and then seconds later, all my friends in general admission start chanting " F**K YOU DENNIS!!! *Clap clap clap clap clap* F**K YOU DENNIS! " and we were on the floor, the story behind that is we all started sayin that to him because he hates Jeff Hardy so in retort, that's what we say to him whenever he's on TV or wins a match, and it was just classic to have that come out during ROH and he soaked it up.

So many amazing spots, and nearfalls that had me jumpin up n down, the fire was unbelieveable between both teams, they were hitting super hard, Shelley's chops were SO vicious, prob the loudest i've heard in a long time and that's sayin somethin, i've been to my share of live events and Shelley puts most of the knife edge chops to shame after how he did it today, but one thing is for sure, we were all pretty floored when AOTF won by tapout and it followed by the trash being thrown wildly in the ring at Jacobs and Black, it was definitely a moment.

Thank you Gabe, you didn't disappoint.

Cannot wait for the 26th of July, it's gonna ROCK!

On the Cheap Seats after last night/this morning's AWA show (with a repeated DeBeers match with redone commentary), Ken Patera appeared as part of a 1971 weightlifting competition... where he blew his ankle out.



This AWA episode was a little starved for talent to advertise


You've got style, that's what all the girls say!


Ken Patera gets hurt...








...and the Governator being assaulted...
 
[quote name='mykevermin']Well said all around. For me, the moment when HIAC stopped being an awesome match was when (1) Foley took the flagrantly gimmicked drop through the cage when wrestling Triple H (No Way Out 2000? - it was the PPV match following their AWESOME AWESOME street fight at Royal Rumble 2000). That drop was groan inducingly obvious and it really killed the spontaneity of the match and the cell itself. The gimmick trap door was much safer for all involved (very good), but it was like watching a budget horror movie: you get the idea, but you can't help but either simply enjoy it for how tremendously corny it is, or just roll your eyes and say "this is fuckin' *stoopid*."

All this talk of TNA and gimmicks has made me wonder if the TNA booking committee is comprised of people who used to be car salesmen. Simply because they can't leave well enough alone, and appear to try to "upsell" goddamn EVERYTHING that comes their way.

Seriously, they're like those dudes who talk to you like "how about a moonroof? heated seats? faux mahogany shifter knob? The ladies go wild for italian leather floormats!" when all you're saying is "I want this car over there exactly as it is."

"Hey, can we just have a wrestling match between these guys?"
"What about the manager of the one wrestler being the uncle of the babyface? And the uncle has sole possession of the babyface's late parent's inheritance, which is rightfully the babyface? And then we can have a 37 person reverse battle royal for the inheritance, but in the battle royal, if you get pinned, you have to sit in the dunk tank while So Cal Val throws baseballs at the target, and you can't reenter the match until she hits the target. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Don West will sing the national anthem while drinking gatorade and eating cheetos. If he eats all the cheetos before the dunk tank is aligned with the moon during mercury phase on the 12th night of the seventh dawn, then that wrestler is disqualified."
"So, what's the finish?"
"Count-out."[/quote]

'Tis ok, Zen. You just need to lay off the ROH for awhile - too many head drops. ;)
 
[quote name='CouRageouS']TPB? Infraction! ;)[/quote]

Ummm... It's free stuff from the ROH site. If it's not right to have here I'll pull it down.
 
[quote name='Shmitty']i was really tired when i first read the thread title, got my "richards" confused, and immediately thought "STEVIE?! NOOOOOOO!" then i remembered that the name davey is not, in fact, stevie, thought "uhhhh....who?" and instantly stopped caring.[/quote]

You stopped caring because you aren't familiar with Davey. Hence that makes you ignorant. He is about a hundred times the worker that Stevie ever was. Think Chris Benoit with a personality.
 
[quote name='Zen Davis']Think Chris Benoit with a personality.[/QUOTE]

Davey fuckin' Richards?

Bitch please. I don't see much personality come off in the ring, and don't remember anything memorable out of it. He's a capable hand, but putting him in a league with Benoit is pure bullshit.

That's because you saw him Dayton. In Dover, Edison, and NYC, Davey was awesome. Have you seen his match against Marufuji in NYC? It would total greatness. Not MOTYC greatness, but greatness nonetheless. He holds a lot back in the ring but once he lets loose, he is fantastic.

Plus he says all this awesome goofy heel stuff that's hilarious. At Dragon Gate Challenge 2 he goes to Erick Stevens and slaps him upside the head going, "Welcome to the main event boy", which leads to the audience ribbing him, "Davey when have you ever been in the main event?" It was a totally loaded statement Davey threw out there knowing the audience would jump on him.

Another time in NYC, he did the Rick Rude gyrations to some girls in the audience who cheered for him. Well Marufuji ends up low blowing him and he turns back to the girls and points to his dick and waves at them to come in the ring and make it all better. Totally awesome. :)

Balls in your court Superbad.
