Grimmas

My issue is, what if they turn out like Kurt Angle and go from really good to the dirt worst? If we did this poll in 98, Shawn Michaels would be on my list. Doing it in 2016 he is not, due to his awful run post comeback. This is why I'm not voting for someone in their prime.

Well the restocking of NXT iis going on big time right now, so raiding NXT to make Smackdown a great show again wouldn't be a bad idea. It really depends, if Dunn/Vince are still running both shows then it will still be shit. If Vince/Dunn focus on one and the other had a different focus then it's a whole new ball game.

Depends. One man champion. US and IC on separate shows as their main titles. Keep them separate. They each have different feels and styles. It could work that way. Of course I have no confidence they would do it right. The only brand split I would want to see is an NXT invasion, leading them to take over Smackdown.

You think it's gotten out of hand, wait until WrestleMania weekend when some people are finalizing their lists.

I agree, they have not done well with Styles. No way the Styles Clash should had been kicked out of. No way they should be calling him a redneck rookie. No way he should had lost in his first month with the company.

Wow, this is going to be an amazing show.

Amateur hour Thanks for that constructive criticism.

Malenko was this really great wrestler in BattlARTS. Will fit right in with Danielson and Doug Williams. You just nailed one of TNA's issues of just throwing out people without building them up. I'm trying to eliminate as many bad TNA mistakes as possible.

The show was f'n great, what are you talking about? Will falling asleep is completely irrelevant and it was a funny moment. Geez. Best reacation show since the 2015 Rumble.

I don't know, because the Brock/Roman stuff has been the best Roman has looked.

Breaking news! Impact Wrestling's 10th episode will be a three hour special which will cost an additional $5. The rumour is "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson will debut on this show, and there will be an "Elimination Match" with Low Ki and others versus The New Church. This might be the show where Steve Corino gets his NWA World Title match and a big gimmick match between Jarrett & Hall vs James & Killings.

Damn there was a lot of talent available at that time. This looks like a fun promotion and I want to see where this is heading.

That closing segment was so stupid, if the goal is to get over Roman as the new ace. Why not keep the LON out there to help with the beat down? Why not at least keep Sheamus out there? Instead we get Triple H one on one beating the crap out of Roman and leaving in lying. Sure it worked with Daniel Bryan a few years ago, but Roman is not Bryan. Bryan was hand cuffed, by the way at least.

Johnny if there is no political hit does that mean they are the worst at building a new ace? They have made a mistake every single moment of using Reigns from the moment his singles push started. If it's not Triple H fucking with him, then how are they so shitty at this?

I have seen one match of his in a tag setting and I came out of it hating him and thinking he ruined that match.

However they are dismissive and end discussions. Therefore they are not good at all.

Yes, please two reviews.

If they go through with Taker vs Shane with if Shane wins he gets control of Raw they have major issues. Shane is a babyface fighting to get rid of the authority. Undertaker is a babyface, because he is The Undertaker. There is no way Shane should beat Taker in a HIAC. There is no way they should tease Shane taking control of Raw without him taking control of Raw. They have booked themselves into a corner again. Doing it once I can understand, but them seem to book themselves into corners multiple times a year.

If it's not a political hit than the WWE has the worst bookers of all-time if they are trying to make Roman their new ace.

He's an interesting case.

Impact Wrestling #5 "Rising Suns" July 17, 2002 Fairgrounds in Nashville, Tennessee An opening video package is played that show some classic NWA action then some current Impact Wrestling. It then shows each of the champions celebrating after winning their titles. What follows is the prhase "The Past, The Present, and The Future of Wrestling". The Impact Wrestling logo appears as we enter the arena and get a pyro show. Don West is in the ring and welcomes everybody to Impact Wrestling. Tonight a new number one contender will be crowned as former ECW World Champion Masato Tanaka takes on former NWA World Champion Shinya Hashimoto. However first he would like to bring out Impact Wrestling match maker "Bullet" Bob Armstrong to address the Steve Corino and company situation. West first thanks Armstrong for making the great main event tonight as well as AJ Styles vs Dick Togo, but he is wondering what will be done about Steve Corino and company? Armstrong says they are not answering his calls, but he can't have talents like that sitting in the audience and not on the show. He has invited them here and would like them to come out. Steve Corino, CW Anderson, and Simon Diamond make there way to the ring holding up the four fingers. Armstrong asks what it is they want and Corino claims it may be too late. It's been 5 shows and Corino has not had a World Title shot. Armstrong says you have to earn it and if he wants to earn that spot, he can give him the opportunity. At this point Nelson Knight makes his return after the attacks weeks ago. Knight says he wants revenge, but he is not dumb enough to come out alone. Since Corino keeps raising the four fingers he has brought two men that know what that is all about. First, the stepbrother of former Horsemen member Carl Malekno and secondly one of the greatest Horesmen in history, Barry Windham. Knight, Malenko, and Windham approach the ring as Corino, Anderosn, and Diamond leave through the crowd. Armstrong books a six man tag next week between the two units. The announcers talk about what a huge development that was. Tenay and Ranallo wonder if Corino and company are cowards, but Callis says they are just smart and picking their spots. NWA X Division Champion AJ Styles vs Dick Togo Togo pummels AJ a lot and hit a huge flying senton for what looked like the win, but AJ got his foot on the rope. AJ was then able to counter a power bomb into an inside cradle for the lucky victory. Winner: AJ Styles @ 16:46 After the match Togo starred at AJ and the title as he left as Callis thinks AJ got lucky and Dick Togo is the future X Divisiion champion. A video is played of former NFL player Monty Brown training for his debut next on Impact Wrestling. Kid Romeo & Elix Skipper vs The SAT An exciting match where in the end Romeo pulled the tights for the win. After the match Romeo and Skipper danced and made the motion that they are future tag team champions. Winners: Kid Romeo & Elix Skipper @ 9:01 Jeremy Borash is backstage and brings in Homicide and Da Hit Squad for an interview. Borash asks if Homicide can get a win without the help of Da Hit Squad? Homicide and Da Hit Squad get pissed, pull the mic away and kick him out. They took Amazing Red out of Impact Wrestling. AJ Styles better watch his back, because the X Division title is coming to Homicide. York and Matthews better look out, because Da Hit Squad are the future tag team champions. Super Dragon w/ James Mitchell vs Ace Steel Super Dragon squashes Steel and looks like an unstoppable monster. The Pyscho Killer ends it. Winner: Super Dragon @ 4:12 Jeremy Borash is backstage and he is with The Glamour Boys, Shane Sewell and Brian Kendrick. They heard that Impact Wrestling is where tag team wrestling is and they are here to win the belts. Last week they showed that York and Matthews do not compare to The Glamour Boys. Tonight Chris Harris and James Storm will see why they are the most glamorous team in all of wrestling. The Glamour Boys vs Chris Harris & James Storm A really good southern tag match that could had gone either way. Sliced Bread #2 by Brian on Harris gets the win. Winners: The Glamour Boys @ 11:15 A video package shows Jeff Jarrett getting attacked by Ron Killings and BG James. Then him losing to NWA World Champion Ken Shamrock. It also shows Scott Hall getting taken out by Killings and James. The video ends with Jarrett and Hall returning to Impact Wrestling next week to make statements. Jeremy Borash is backstage with Killings and James. Borash asks them what their reaction to Jarrett and Hall's return next week. They laugh it off, as their time is over. It is now time for The Krew to take off Impact Wrestling. Tonight Killings will take apart Devon Storm and then the NWA Title is coming their way. Ron Killings w/ BG James vs Devon Storm Storm puts up a good fight, but Killings gains the decisive victory. Winner: Ron Killings @ 6:06 Don West is in the Event Centre and hypes up next week's massive show where the winner of the next match between Hashimoto and Tanaka will take on NWA World Champion Ken Shamrock. Plus former NFL star Monty Brown makes his in ring debut. There will also be a massive six man tag as Da Hit Squad and Homicide will face off against AJ Styles, Christian York, and Joey Matthews! Steve Corino, CW Anderson, and Simon Diamond into the ring to face the ragtag team of Nelson Knight, Carl Malenko, and Barry Windham! All this will be live next Wednesday evening! Shinya Hashimoto vs Masato Tanaka (Top Contenders Match) They go all out to have a great match here and to help establish Hashimoto as a bad ass. Winner: Shinya Hashimoto @ 19:14 Hashimoto celebrates in the ring as Don Callis claims he is unstoppable and the next NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Tune in next week to find out.

Discuss here.

It's the disconnect, I think, between the commentators talking about him as a home-town hero (saying that his "friends and family" are there live) and him then being introduced as residing in Florida. It seems like the kind of thing a heel would do. It is pretty silly to talk about someone competing in their home town, but announcing him from somewhere else.

I see a lot of people complain about the feed and I never have issues. My internet isn't that great or am I just lucky? I think a lot of people blame the network for their spotty internet or maybe they are using the internet for a lot of other things which would slow down the network. I'm not sure.

We have left it open for people to use their own criteria, but it's mostly based on in ring.
