WingedEagle Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Amazing. TNA is like a any law firm / bank / fill in the blank company that has people jazzed for their upcoming career only to want out. Except it doesn't make money or compensate anyone.
Cox Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 So with Hernandez and MVP gone, that means within the span of six months, every member of the Beatdown Clan (Samoa Joe, Low Ki, Hernandez, and MVP) has left TNA except for poor Kenny King. Wonder if that's karma for King leaving ROH right after he won the tag team titles and pretty much ended poor Rhett Titus' career.
goc Posted July 26, 2015 Report Posted July 26, 2015 This is Billy Corgan wishing he'd never gotten on the TNA train going straight to nowhere
NotJayTabb Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 At the end of May, an indie that runs local to me booked Kenny King for a pair of shows as part of his UK tour. When he came out for his match, much to my surprise a load of fans started a "BDC" chant, a good number of whom were wearing "Beat Down Clan" t-shirts. Really confused me that anyone actually cared about the Beat Down Clan, I think of those guys every time another BDC member hilariously leaves TNA
C.S. Posted July 27, 2015 Report Posted July 27, 2015 So, how come Kenny King never got another look by WWE? Is it because he bitched about two women winning Tough Enough? Then again, you have to be pretty bad and bland for WWE to go that route, so maybe there was no interest in King because he doesn't stand out in any way?
LariatMMBOPPO Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 Has anyone looked at the TNA spoilers lately? They've done 70+ matches cumulatively these past few tapings. It must be hell to sit through those.
2PhoneShawty Posted July 28, 2015 Report Posted July 28, 2015 The worse reaction that PWG ever gave anyone was when Shane Helms worked a match on a show 2 or 3 years ago. That was on a show with RVD working half ass too. Storm and Magnus style are similar and doesn't fit the kind of match PWG fans want to see. I'm pretty sure Helms was a heel.
hammerva Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 So based on the spoilers yesterday and tonight, I think the winner of the "Most Disgusting Promotional Tactic" of 2015 has already been decided. Just pathetic. After reading them I am convinced Russo is booking or at the very least Billy Corgan is under the Russo learning tree which is actually just one leaf
goc Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 Vince Russo is too busy booking E-Feds to help TNA right now

hammerva Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 If Meltzer had a category for "Dumbest stipulation" of 2015, these spoilers would have that winner as well. I mean if you thought the reverse battle royal was a bad idea
LariatMMBOPPO Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 Some of the spoilers had to be fake. I hope. An actual reverse elimination match? Jessie Godderz vs. Al Snow in an scaffold match?
Migs Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 The spoilers involving the TNA-GFW "war" sound incredibly stupid.
sek69 Posted July 29, 2015 Report Posted July 29, 2015 There's a slim possibility things make a little more sense once they air since things are shot out of order/pretapes will be added, but yeah this seems like it will have to make a vast improvement to reach the levels of 2001 WCW.
Jingus Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 What exactly are you guys talking about that's so particularly awful? I looked at the spoilers, and they sounded like the usual TNA nonsense. (Shooty-shoot-shoot promos about internet bullshit that most fans neither know nor care about! A match where a microphone is the only legal weapon! A match where if Matt Hardy loses, then Jeff has to become his opponent's butler! LOLTNALOL)
goc Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Yea it really doesn't seem that bad from what I've read. EC3 vs. Matt Hardy is probably the best World Title feud they could put together right now tbh.
Tim Evans Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 What exactly are you guys talking about that's so particularly awful? I looked at the spoilers, and they sounded like the usual TNA nonsense. (Shooty-shoot-shoot promos about internet bullshit that most fans neither know nor care about! A match where a microphone is the only legal weapon! A match where if Matt Hardy loses, then Jeff has to become his opponent's butler! LOLTNALOL) The Melendez/Young stuff. Putting the shitty beautiful people back together after all 3 feuded with each other for months. Gail Kim single handily beating the Dollhouse in a cage match. Book Simon Diamond and Al Snow in gimmick matches in 2015. Another god awful Jarrett heel stable. It's a typical TNA taping but you would think if they were on death's door, they could do something better. Why not just give the Harris twins the tag titles already?
Jingus Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 Book Simon Diamond and Al Snow in gimmick matches in 2015.That's rumored to be fake spoilers. Which, even bothering to release fake spoilers for a lineup to a PPV that nobody will watch anyway, LOLTNALOL.
hammerva Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 The concept of a reverse elimination match is easily the dumbest stipulation in wrestling. A match where the winner is the first person to get pinned? <_>
Cox Posted July 30, 2015 Report Posted July 30, 2015 MVP getting fired for TNA not doing their due diligence in making sure Hernandez wasn't under contract to Lucha Underground is pretty funny. Also pretty funny: the British TNA guys flying back to the UK during the middle of the tapings to go work indy shots there because they make more money wrestling for British indies than they do for cheap ass TNA. I know it's still technically exposure even though they're on Destination America and nobody watches them, but why would anybody want to go to TNA at this point?
LariatMMBOPPO Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 The concept of a reverse elimination match is easily the dumbest stipulation in wrestling. A match where the winner is the first person to get pinned? Reverse elimination might be a little misleading on my part. Apparently, it's the person who scores the pin that gets to leave the match instead of the loser leaving. I don't understand that either. Maybe they're bringing back rankings for some strange reason?

Apparently, it's the person who scores the pin that gets to leave the match instead of the loser leaving. I don't understand that either. Maybe they're bringing back rankings for some strange reason? Yeah it was basically a two fall match. They were doing their own version of the Team Challenge Series for One Night Only and that was a tiebreaker match, first fall got 1st place and second fall got 2nd place.
Cox Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 MVP didn't get fired he quit. Meltzer reported in the WON this week that he was fired over the Hernandez situation.
Jimmy Redman Posted July 31, 2015 Report Posted July 31, 2015 He was fired because they screwed up Hernandez's contract? How does that work?
