TNA Discussion

I don't know if anyone still bothers with TNA but i've been watching this last 2 weeks. It was quite easy to pick up as it's the BFG series and then just the couple of storylines. But Abyss' brother just appeared talking about AandE. Why is he still there? Last time i'd watched he was looking for abyss and that was when I stopped watching. Did he ever find him, or is abyss in aces and eights? Cant believe how all the rivalries are pretty much the same as when I stopped watching too.

I'm still watching - all be it fast forwarding through best part. Haven't watched this week yet (sky+ing it).

Regarding Abyss, I don't recall them finding them apart from Abyss showing up at a PPV.

I'm enjoying the BFG series - I'm beginning to think Bully Ray will go to win if it isn't the obvious James Storm.

I'm still not sure who AandE are but I still think Jeff Jarrett is behind it all.

No doubt TNA is much improved over the past few months but it still can be really frustrating. BFG series has not been used to push anyone - Magnus, Pope or even Robbie E could have made a run for the top 4 - also why Pope was in when he was filming I have no idea, Gunner could have used the exposure as he is in limbo. Last year BFG series really put Roode and Storm on the map as singles guys. If AA still champ then likely Bully Ray as the only heel will win but also joe might get it as he made a comment about losing to AA when he (AA) won title.

A&8's is dragging a bit now, think one who was recognisable should have been revealed, and it also seems too much Hogan/Sting v's them I am worried it will lead to a Hogan match!

Thankfully the stupid AJ cheating storyline seems done, guess a BFG match to end the feud.

Tag division and knockouts not a patch on what they used to be. X division has completely lost its way without AA, not enough wrestlers or anyone who is over. I like Kenny King though he was good in ROH.

I think Joseph Park is still about to give Abyss something different to do, no idea where its going to go. He's still around as some wrestlers have hired him to be their legal advice he said - do wonder if A & 8's. I agree JJ behind them with a TNA is my baby storyline and feud with Sting as Sting is 1st inductee in HOF rather than JJ.

Generally matches are better and good to see AA holding the belt. I think they should get rid of RVD and Anderson or both as those 2 with Hardy are holding spots that Joe/AJ etc could fill, and both of them are phoning it in.

Edit - realise this is a little rantish but I suppose the fact that I was prepared to type this rather than just 'it's shite' which it would have got months ago is encouraging as at least I'm now bothered!

hardy vs angle was good this week. I wasn't paying full attention but it seemed like a mini ppv style match. At first I thought maybe with AA as champion they would do a run of matches with hardy, Aj, joe etc which would be like having the best x division style guys at the top, but then there's storm and bully.

Not quite sure about the ending this week, the commentators focused on how someone put a mask on. At first I thought it was hardy stood outside the ring, but then I thought the guy must have just had his mark pulled down by accident when he pulled one on. But after they mentioned it, it seems like it was someone new. Probably just a plant in the crowd hopped barrier then masked up to strike AA. Don't know if anyone else saw better what happened. But as I say at first I thought it was hardy, but doubt they'd risk people seeing him if he was involved

oh and I reckon that AJ will be able to pick a partner and face the tag champs at some point. Might give it a bit of meaning.

I thought it was Hardy at first too, but he would have had to have all his face paint removed. I haven't a clue who it was.

Regarding AJ having a partner, it wasn't too long back he teamed with Angle. I think it was them who lost to Frankie and Daniels.

aye, i'd have to see it again, but after initially seeing him hit one guy, I didn't see him on any of the wide shots or brawl close ups. He could in theory have nipped under the ring. But it was probably just some other thin hairy fellow. Seemed to be wearing an unbuttoned shirt like it'd been thrown on quick. Just from memory this is though.

TV crew was the extra guy. There we go. Hardy seems decent lately too and the show as a whole has started well this week. Even the backstage tag team talk is decent.

this weeks show is exciting me more than wrestling has for ages. This Joey Ryan fella is like Andy Kaufman reborn, he could be really quality with this gimmick.

I actually watched Impact before Smackdown this week, that's a first!

it was expected that this weeks tna would just be a rematch episode, so I just zoned out for it. But the more joseph parks appears the more i'm thinking maybe it's abyss in a new mask for aces. It's hard to tell how big the main one is as he fought aries, but is it possible that it's him? The more I hear the voice changer the more it sounds like him too :/ I like the more eloquent character too, makes a change from just growling about janice. Also was it always a wig with his mask, as he looks totally different even though his mask never covered whole face and head

I'm beginning to think its abyss too and Joseph Parks is the eterny working for Jeff Jarrett who is behind the whole thing.

and he has hulk and brooks trust, which has to come into it. and they are always looking to push him with big storylines since hogan has been about
