Dylan Waco Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 Against my better judgment I am going to try and watch this show tonight. I doubt there will be a reaction show at PTBN because I doubt anyone else is this stupid/brave. But I will post comments here. Will anyone else be suffering with me? Quote
tim Posted June 28, 2015 Report Posted June 28, 2015 I'll probably watch the first and third hour, True Detective taking up the middle. Don't know if I'll make it through though, I just saw this was on tonight and felt like watching a wrestling show anyway. Quote
Steenalized Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Haven't watched TNA in about three years since I saw a few episodes of Impact back then. No clue when I saw a TNA PPV last. Yet here I am, waiting to see Jeff Jarrett. Quote
tim Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Pretty fun opener but god damn this camera work is almost unwatchable. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Tigre Uno v. Manik v. DJ Z was the right kind of opener in the sense that it got over, was worked at a crazy pace, the guys hit their big spots well, and the pace was on point for a bout of this kind. Not a high level match, but very useful. I like all of these guys and was impressed by their effort. Quote
goc Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 I wouldn't mind watching this in real time but don't feel like trying to figure out how to do that without cable so I'll just watch it later. Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Robbie E vs. Jesse Godders - OK, I liked the toss early on using the shirt. Good stuff from a pissed off baby face. - Nice fire, to use a shoe term, early on by Robbie E. - Man after the nasty flip into the stairs, digging Godderz offense… powerslam on the floor, pounding the chest, rubbing that forearm across the face and ear. - Shit, that dropkick had one foot nail him directly in the face, legit. - More work on the back after the showboating… bear hug, backbreaker - Man, Robbie E’s comeback sucked…. Laziest fucking comeback ever. Thank God it didn’t last long. - Dude…. Robbie’s “clotheslines” are Kane level bad. - Story of this match… Jesse on offense good, Robbie on offense, bad. - Shit finish with a reverse DDT gives E the match. That was lame. Quote
tim Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 That match started with some great energy but started to drag toward the end and didn't really finish on a high note. Robbie looked good generally. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Jessie v. Robbie E was legitimately good. I have always liked Robbie and feel he's been wasted in TNA like most people. Crowd heat for the match and the show so far has helped a lot. Still this one had an abrupt, lacking, finish. Quote
Mad Dog Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 I've always thought Zack Ryder and Robbie E would be a good tag team or on screen buddies. Quote
tim Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Bram/Morgan sucked and the finish looked like shit. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Could live without seeing that sort of match, or Matt Morgan, ever again Quote
goc Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Matt Morgan must have been willing to work really cheap or otherwise there is really no excuse for bringing him back. He has ALWAYS sucked. Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Matt Morgan vs. Bram - OK, I liked the snake eyes reverse chokeslam by Morgan. - Eh… whatever. Bram wins. Quote
Matt D Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Against my better judgment I am going to try and watch this show tonight. I doubt there will be a reaction show at PTBN because I doubt anyone else is this stupid/brave. But I will post comments here. Will anyone else be suffering with me? Can you write it off on your taxes? Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Austin Aries vs. Davey Richards - For a Davey Richards singles match, this wasn’t abd until they did the NJ exchanges. - Was that a frog splash double stomp? Fuck me. - Another lame as fuck finish with a rollup. - Match was fun and that is the highest compliment I Can give to a Davey Richards match. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Really liked Aries v. Richards, despite a couple of typical Davey moments including a shit looking double stomp near fall down the stretch. Aries is on his way out and didn't have to work half that hard. Instead he seemed like he was aiming to steal the show. Good heeling, pacing and build from Aries, and Davey was better than normal as a whole. Best Davey singles match I've seen in ages. Maybe ever. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Didn't see much of the women's tag. Storm v. Magnus should have been a great match but wasn't because of the way it was booked. It was not bad per se, but should have been a bloodbath, hate feud match. Instead it was a better than average prop brawl, with a lame finish. Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 James Storm vs. Magnus - Both guys were trying really hard but for a brawl, Magnus had really weak brawling offense. Everything was light as a feather. - The big boot into the equipment to cause the monitors to go out in the arena was kind of dumb. - Christ, Magnus crashing into that table did not look good. I don’t mean aesthetically, I mean he could really be damaged after that. - OK… I thought the salt in the eyes was cute and even the first false finish … but then they did finisher overkill. - If Davey Richards is on a PPV and you told me one match went 5 minutes too long with ridiculous kickouts, I would put my money on the Richards match 93% of the time. - Storm wins Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 Audio problems on the show now. Classic tna Quote
hammerva Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Based on my twitter feed there has been abut a dozen technical issues in the last 5 - 10 minutes and they have no clue how to handle it. Sounds like a 5 star botch a mania video coming soon Quote
goodhelmet Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Ethan Carter III & Tyrus vs. Bobby Lashley & Mr. Anderso - Anderson’s mic fucking up is hilarious. He has been horrible every time I have seen him live. I have about no faith this match will be entertaining. - Man… that double suplex by Tyrus… is Lashley still alive? - I am glad it didn’t last too long. Quote
Dylan Waco Posted June 29, 2015 Author Report Posted June 29, 2015 The problem with the ex-WWE stars match is that it happened. Wish it had just been Lashley v. EC3 instead Quote
hammerva Posted June 29, 2015 Report Posted June 29, 2015 Well that would make sense if it wasn't for the fact that it happened 2 weeks ago. Quote
