sorry Zent, as much as i do agree with you, i still feel TNA is light years behind WWE. and i will enjoy Raw live Monday and record Impact to watch at a later date

Well I just hope more fans feel the way I do. It's not about supporting TNA, just supporting the wrestling business.

Watch TNA though. I'm betting Hulk will destroy the six sided ring and bring in a traditional ring.

EDIT: Well guys, any new year resolutions? Mine are winning the Tarzan Taborda Tournament (a very important wrestling tournament here in Portugal, in tribute to Tarzan Taborda the greatest portuguese wrestling legend ever) and winning the national wrestling championship.

Hey guys just wanted to share this badass pic of me from a photoshoot we did in the ring like a month ago.



EDIT: Omg major sorrysauce for the double post, total accident

oh i agree. but it's personal preference. i do plan to watch TNA, just later on



damn Hogan! sumbitch ruin the only thing that makes TNA unique!
i for one love the six-sided ring.

as for the pic, man Zent u look baddass. too bad u couldn't drop by the local wrestling group in my home town, we'd love to have ya

we already know that wwe will beat tna in the rating but as for me I will watch both at the same time cause this is the first time in like 15 years we will be able to channel fick

Cool look, Zentile.

So i'm watching wwe (which for some reason is on 3 hours early on the HD version of USA) and holy hell. When Hart and HBK were in the ring at the same time, electricity was in the air. An incredible moment. Then they hugged and I threw up. Oh well

TNA 3 hour show was much better then the WWE show... IMO of course.

WWE was boring, They are just too scared to do anything out there and controversial anymore.

Vince kicking Bret hart.... Oh WOW!!
Didn't see that coming... SIGH!!

How the hell do you botch Bret Harts return to the WWE...
well, thats how.

Anyway, Vince vs Bret Hart at WM with HBK as the guest ref.

The Hart/Michaels segment was better then anything that happened in the 00's. Amazing

I honestly think TNA won. Orton fucking beat Kofi which was lame. They could have used that to push Kofi into the main event picture, and to put Orton into a program with Rhoades and Dibiase... but in my opinion they kind of killed Kofi's momentum, which was huge after he owned Orton in MSG.

Oh well.

Sheamus and Bourne had good chemistry, but they rushed to the finish to show how dominating Sheamus is. I guess it's a double edged sword in some ways. If you have the match drag on then Sheamus loses credibility, but if you do what they did then the whole thing just sort of feels like the same old shit.

TNA was good though, but not as good as they needed to be. I'm a little let down by both shows. Bret was fun, but the whole thing went down as anyone who read the internet reports could have guessed.

Am I the only one who had no clue what Hall was talking about? I couldn't understand anything he was saying

i was talking with a hot potatoe in the mouth, that's why you don't have understand

Hawt!

It had to be said. K moving on...

i kept flipping every once in a while just to see what they was gonna do with hart, and of course the usual wwe bs.

tna was both exciting, and boring. there were times when i was like holy fuck and times when i was like damn this was crap.

a few of the matches went way too fast. and some of them didnt make sense. joe vs abyss? id rather see joe and daniels or the original barbed wire match they had advertised.

there were a lot of presentation botches on impact. the camera cut when taras ass crack was showing. i didnt like how they tried to censor the fuckin crowd.

and i had to laugh when they was coming back from commercial and you could hear the announcer say "hey youre on tv make some noise" lmao.

but the biggest botch had to be the first min of hogans speech. they kept showing his limo coming to the impact zone, tenay and taz would keep saying "hes almost here"..then hogan gets in the ring and states how he HAS BEEN BACKSTAGE AT THE IMPACT ZONE ALL DAY. great job.

was cool to see the original nwo back in the ring. particularly pac

sting was there but they didnt use him at all.

tooooooooo many commercial breaks.

and i just wanna mention hardys chair shot on homicide...good lord that was sweet.

that main event was the best match ive seen on impact. that was cool as hell how the attacker came out and angle attacked then helped aj up and continued the match. the entire match i was thinking please dont fuck this up with a run in. aj got a clean win over kurt. fucking awesome.

impact goes off, i switch 2 raw just in time to see the big groin shot. that wasnt predictable or anything.

Man TNA was the shit yesterday I had a great time watchin it. Crowd was hot the whole show.
But let me start off by sayin there were to many damn commercials and I laughed when I think Tenay said at the main event that there would be no more commercials we will stay on this match till it ends then the commercials hits.

The steel asylum match I don't like cause you can't see shit and it's hard to focus on anything happenin in there. Jeff Hardy showin up was a surprise and the chair shot was sick. Seein Homicide tryin to get out to me was pretty funny it seemed like he got stuck.

ODB and Tara match was soild.

Seein Ric Flair there was pretty sweet.

I hate Bubba Love.

Didn't care for the Lashley segment at all or the Poker segment.

It was cool to see the orgianl NWO back all in the same ring together again felt like I was watching WCW again.

I hate Dixie's face.

Eric Bischoff rippin up the script was cool.

Seein Sting was cool and at first I got pissed that they really didn't do anything with him then I realized it was just like how he first came to WCW when they would show him lookin and be all mysterious.

Awesome Kong and Hamada versus Taylor Wilde and Sarita for the Knockouts Tag Titles was a fantastic match great preformance by both teams.

Raven and Dr. Stevie with Daffney versus Matt Morgan and Hernandez didn't care about.

Desmond Wolfe versus D’Angelo Dinero good match but I really didn't like how Pope won clean against Wolfe.

Abyss versus Samoa Joe in a Barbed Wire Massacre Match didn't really care for.

Kurt Angle versus A.J. Styles for the TNA Heavyweight Title talk about an amazing fuckin match that match was so much fun to see really great match. I was so glad it didn't get stoped by some stupid interuption.

So TNA was great. Angle vs AJ was incredible. A lot better than the WWE show. The crowd was amazing. "Who needs Brett?" "Let's go Angle/AJ" "This is bullshit!" "This is wrestling!" Loved it

Haha you look like The Miz.
That's way cool.
:D

lolz the Miz. *ducks and runs*

But really, I feel TNA surely lost. The early rating is in and it's a 1.5, which is indeed TNA's highest rating ever but shows they are not able to compete with the WWE at all, as this is going to be surely less than half of WWE's rating. I'd be more interested to see if there was a dropoff after the first hour, starting when RAW went on the air.

TNA managed one good match in 3 hours. Otherwise they are pushing WWE's released talent (Orlando Jordan, Val Venis, Shannon Moore) in debuts. I mean really? Really? This is the 'quality' of TNA? If that wasn't sad enough, how about them dragging out every old guy from WCW they could find? Hogan is bad enough, but once you've got Flair, X-Pac, Scott Hall and the freaking Nasty Boys you're just asking to be shot. It was just terrible. Anyone that had the stomach to watch the entire program was finally rewarded with two quality performers, but that doesn't make up for an overall disappointing outcome. TNA once again chooses to neglect their own talent and push people WWE has released/old guys from the 90's.

Oh, and TNA's crowds are the biggest bunch of drunken idiots since... well since WCW went under. They make the show worse in my opinion. It's right up there with "What?" from WWE. I can't decide which is worse.

lol, wow man, u don't suger coat anything do ya? but i do agree. i'm going to watch Impact later on, and see for myself. but i enjoyed Raw, and don't feel that they screwed Bret's return up at all, as someone pointed out. if anything it gets the ball rolling to further what will happen later

The Miz?
Well normally I think I'd be offended but you know what? Aside from Bret's return in the first segment, the Miz's promo was the highlight of the show.
RAW sucked balls.
Predictable as hell, and lame as hell. The ''guest host'' didn't even host anything.
I can't believe that was the end of the show. Bret came off like a retard for actually believing Vince, and Vince came off as some dumb angry kid. He's so angry at Bret and what does he do? One little kick to the gut? Bullshit.

As for iMPACT!... it's interesting because I strongly disagreed with a lot of things, but I also LOVED a lot of things. One thing's for sure: It was way better than RAW, and even though of course TNA had a much lower rating than RAW, the truth is they should've been annihilated by Bret's return and they didn't. The WWE decided to put on a crappy show and rely on Bret, and that was their mistake. TNA went all out, man. Hogan's speech, Jeff Hardy, Ric Flair, AJ vs Angle... Things clicked Monday for TNA, even with all the bullshit like the Nasty Boys, pointless title changes, short matches and Scott Hall showing up drunk, that old fuck.

Oh well. It was an amazing feeling going through something like this, I really hope it happens again.




Like I said, be as creepy as you like

Bret Vs. Vince at WrestleMania...

...bleh...It would be boring, but just to see Bret back in the ring would be nice...

TNA's show was thoroughly awful and Raw was Raw. This circus of bullshit has strengthened my resolve to revive the sport of professional wrestling and restore it to its former glory.

You should listen to this man.

TNA and Spike TV were very pleased with the rating. I thought it was surprisingly good too. There is now talk of iMPACT! moving to live monday nights regularly in a couple of weeks. God I hope so.
