The Black Cena Wrestling Thread

Good match with Pope vs. Angle, but with the whole "win or I retire" thing, it seems like we know the result before the match starts.

Also, I find it odd to have a four way championship match with 3 faces and only 1 heel.
 
Holy shit, 3 pages in and I had no idea a new thread was up. Then again, it seems like half the posts are by 'masked lemon', so it's pretty unimportant.

TNA PPV, eh? "HUGE BIG HOLY EFFING HELL SURPRISEZ GALORE FOR TNA" .. yawn.

What?
 
I wonder how long they are going to let the Guns keep the tag belts?

I love how TNA keep destroying the legacy of Flair by having him lose. His group is going to look weak if this keeps up.

Madison looked nice in what she wore which was different from what she normally has on.

What the hell is your problem? I'm not a troll, I don't flame anybody here, I have nothing but respect for everyone who posts here. Why do you feel the need to throw insults at me?

Of course I can't give you a link...but go to wrestlenewz.com and I'm sure you can search it out easily. That site got the nudes.

My impression: I never liked the idea of a fake tit/no ass woman. Just doesn't appeal to me. At all. She does though play the role of the rich girlfriend/wife quite well though...
 
[quote name='Vulcan2422']I was at the PPV. The best match was Beer Money vs MCMG. Of course, I was all for Beer Money, they got robbed.[/QUOTE]


How was it attending the ppv? Is it still all hell and waiting in those ridiclous lines hours before ppv?

Nope, I got my ticket at 12pm and then went home and came back at around 5 pm. They go by numbers of when you got the ticket. Considering we are there every PPV and Impact! Taping, they know us by now quite well lol.

Relax, I'm just messing with you. You apparently can't take a joke.

I stopped going to the ppv's because it was supper annoying to wait in those lines.. I dont recall their being any tickets.. they had one regular line and then one vip line or w.e
 
The booking of the first half of the show was so goddamn stupid. X Title match wasn't particularly good and boy did Douglas ever get over that fear of heights quickly. 3D-Jesse was nothing. Could've done without Bubba's pre-match promo insulting Jesse's dead friend. Note to the writers of this shit - THE MAN IS ACTUALLY DEAD, you assholes. He's not just a fucking TV character. The knockouts title match was even dumber than the X Title match. TBP interference equaling a DQ and a title loss was fine "screw over the rotten heel" stuff before the match.

Then the match happened, some chick (probably Tara) comes out with a fucking motorcycle through the building, gets involved, and costs Madison the title despite them never showing that she was either Velvet or Lacey - THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHOSE INTERFERENCE WOULD HAVE LED TO A TITLE LOSS. Then Joe makes his big PPV return to team with Rob fucking Terry. I think he might've rather been kidnapped again than have this dude as his partner. The match itself was better than any other Rob Terry match due to the three other guys involved, who are incapable of having bad matches with each other.

Hernandez-Morgan continued Morgan's years-long streak of boring matches. The guy shows a spark in the ring once every so often and then whatever he builds up just seems to evaporate. Hernandez's cage dive wasn't nearly as good as the first time he did that spot in TNA. Him dropping Morgan twice with the Border Toss sure sucked. Hernandez diving through the cage looked cool. Didn't make much sense since he could've just opened the door, but it was at least memorable.

Flair-Lethal was easily Flair's best match in TNA. He looked to be in better shape here than any other match as well, although the hair on the top of his head is rapidly depleting. It's been pretty striking for a while, but now he's starting to really look like Hogan no matter how they shoot him - not even long shots are helping hide the impending baldness. Lethal was clearly having the time of his life out there doing Flair's stuff, and kudos to Ric for putting him over so perfectly. He gave Lethal everything he had tonight and let him beat him with his own move, then Lethal cried afterwards. This all felt like a huge deal, but I don't expect them to follow up on it well since they never do with him. Beats Angle, the then-current world champion, for the X Title on PPV - jobs right after. Wins the tag belts - loses them within a week.

The Guns and Beer Money continued the show's streak of one good match with a more exciting, but not more dramatic match. This was basically a fleshed out version of their stuff on Thursday's show, and I was fine with that. I could watch these teams feud for months and never get bored. They'd bring it on the mic and in the ring. The Guns FINALLY won the gold after a double pin swerve to build up the drama , and it worked. The Guns were very emotional following the win, so it came off as a huge deal. Here's to hoping they get a decent run with the title.

Angle-Pope was also good, but not as good as the previous two matches. It also didn't go very long, probably due to Angle being hurt. That one month break didn't seem to do him much good. Angle was rocking a new singlet that looked awesome, and Pope had some new metallic red gear as well. The match itself was a little too formulaic, and the crowd heat was killed by the faux-retirement stip since it gave away that Angle was going to win and that Pope was going to lose his big return match. That stip is really killing my excitement for this Angle deal.

The main event was a huge letdown from the previous three matches. It was four guys going through the motions. Jeff looked awful and nothing he did seemed to hit as it should've. RVD was RVD. Abyss was Abyss. Anderson was Anderson, and no one on Earth cared. There was no drama to the match at all and it didn't feel like a main event in any way other than star power. And somehow, Abyss was injured in a tower of doom spot THAT HE INITIATED. Doing a powerbomb hurt this man, but chairs won't do a thing. So Hogan should bring in Vader and his problem will be solved. Lethal-Flair was the real main event, and delivered in spades.

So you are saying Flair should have went over Lethal? That's gotta be the dumbest thing I ever heard! Lethal is on fire right now and he is finally able to get over as Jay Lethal and not as Black Machismo o or some other goofy gimmick. Flair is in TNA to put over talent believe it or not.
 
It was good watching the Flair-Lethal match since you could see Flair calling the match to Lethal the whole time. But Lethal did mess up some moves which hit Flair right in the knee and you could tell it hurt a lot.
But letting Letha put over Flair? That just makes no sense. Like another poster sair, Flair is there to put TNA talent over.

There are three lines now for PPV. One for the VERY VIP people. The people who bought the 200 tickets to get backstage and stuff. Then there is a VIP line where you e-mail TNA and there is a Standby line for people that don't know to e-mail TNA. We usually get the VIP but around my birthday we will be getting the Very VIP tickets. Also, I love how My wife and I go in wearing Beer Money shirts and everybody tells us they suck. We love Beer Money and they bring it quite well every time they wrestle or get on the mic. Apparently there was a sign confiscated as well last night. Gonna see if I can get the PPV (probably buy it when it hits DVD) and see which one it was.

Hopefully tonights Impact! will be good. Hoping to see Heyman in TNA so we can see a ECW vs TNA feud. :D :D

WHTQ is a Rock station in Orlando.. the other pictures are of a spotlight, water, and a rollercoaster..

The Rock? Rock N Roll Express? I don't know, but I'm losing interest.[/QUOTE]

96.5 is a classic rock station here. They play Bubba The Love Sponge in the morning. :roll:

I hope to god that isn't their big surprise.

- edit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHTQ says that it is referenced in Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. Think they could be moving the Impact Zone to Disney?

I am happy that Flair put over Lethal but story wise it would have been nice to see Flair win the first match to build momentum for Fortune then have another PPV match where Lethal win then. I just wish Flair would stop wrestling but at least let him win every once in a while if you are going to build a group around him.
 
Based on Flair's initial promo, isn't (shouldn't) the group name be "Fourtune"?

At any rate, at Flair's age he should be putting talent over, yes. But I'm not sure how TNA thinks they're going to establish Fourtune as a dominant faction of heels when they're all a bunch of pushed-down-to-mid-card-yes-even-AJ-Styles cowards. Evolution was the closest thing to the Horsemen in terms of presentation. They kicked the fuck out of everyone week in and week out, and retained the playboy image that the Horsemen introduced.

Fourtune, OTOH, appears to be dead on arrival if they're trying to resurrect the Horsemen mystique.

True, but what if he isn't taking in Styles and Kazarian? Beer Money I could see, but maybe he is "scouting" other talent besides Styles and Kazarian.

Honestly though, FCW is about 15 minutes away but I'd rather drive to an hour to see TNA instead.

It's not the who (though you could argue that Styles simply is not cut out to be a Nature Boy because he just oozes good-ole-boy-yokel in his persona), it's the how. They're portrayed as idiots and cowards. Very, very un-horseman-like.

EDIT: How many matches at Victory Road didn't have some bullshit tacked on? E.g., Beer Money/MCMG being restarted after a pinfall, whatshername winning a title via DQ because of a motorcycle woman, Williams winning an Ult-X match by submission, D-Von being locked in a room, etc. Were there any matches that weren't overbooked or overdone?

Why are most wrestling sites like that?
 
Wearing a Deadpool shirt that says "Team Wade" around a bunch of pro Cena hillbillys at Rupp Arena.... The looks people are giving me are priceless
 
tna held a talent meeting earlier today at the impact zone in orlando, florida - the site of tonight's impact tv tapings today and tomorrow. prowrestling.net is reporting that tna president dixie carter addressed the talent roster and stressed that the wrestlers need to "tighten up their in-ring work." carter said the wrestlers were spoiled because they benefit from a taped show that can always be edited. Jason powell reports that one tna source added, "guys were fuming" when carter suggested talent needed to work on their in-ring style. Carter put over the success of the newly revamped xplosion show in australia and raved about last night's victory road ppv.

Maybe stop putting belts on Rob Terry or having Abyss main event weekly before you say that.

If I wasn't 23 years old, and not 2 generations away from when the TV show originally appeared...I probably would have enjoyed that segment
