Looking forward to seeing Aries & Strong vs Sabin & Dutt on impact!

I'd also like to see the Samoa Joe vs Christopher Daniels vs AJ Styles match and Abyss vs Rhino, but thats not enough for me to buy a PPV.

Daniels / Joe / AJ alone would be a PPV purchase for me. If it was an ultimate X match, I'd probably willingly pay extra. Especially since TNA has some work to do after that last debocle of a PPV, I'm expecting big things. Christian better go over Jarrett, and Abyss/Rhino should (probably literally) tear the place down. I'll just use the James Gang / LAX match to go take a piss or buy a pizza, every member of those teams are DOA, which is a shame for Apollo and Homicide. But oddly enough, if I could pick the finish for one match, Team Canada would go over Team 3D. Team 3D needs to liven themselves up somehow, and I think they've won every match they've been in since they got to TNA. I hope they throw in an Alex Shelley/Matt Bentley match, or something along those lines. Give a couple of the X Division clones a shot to make a name for themselves on a PPV in a singles match. Aside from the LAX/JG match, it looks pretty solid on paper so far.

Impact and the PPVs are free to go to at Universal Studios in Orlando. You dont even have to pay to get inside the theme park, but those people who do get first pick of the seats. They tape Impact every other tuesday afternoon and yes, you see both shows at once. Impact tapings are easy to get into but you have to show up early for the PPVs because they sometimes fill up and they have to turn people away.
I believe the TNA PPVs are $30 to order them? I dont know, I'm always there. *gloat* :D

This is my fear. SpikeTV is trying to push them to do stuff like this and in the end it will probably destroy their fan base. Sting was probably a good idea. He has been out of the mainstream for a long time and had a lot of respect with the fans, but Goldberg is a bad idea IMO especially after his awful run in the WWE. I'm also not thrilled with them bringing in so many WWE cast offs like Christian and the James Gang. They need to avoid all the mistakes the WWE and WCW made over the years instead of repeating them all.

Great PPV, much better than the last one, with three great matches and no bad ones (James Gang vs LAX is borderline)
at this point I dont think its necessary for spoiler tags but
Christian Cage winning the belt was great but I would have rather seen Rhino with it. I wish Edge still had the WWe belt because it would have been cool for them to both be world champs at the same time. The switch does make sense since now they can feud Sting and Jarret without the title being in the pictiure.
The triple threat match was great but not as great as the last time Joe Daniels and AJ met.
Rhino vs Abyss was the match of the night and the spot at the end was sick. It is unforgivable the WWe couldn't figure what to do with him (yet Chris Masters is a top guy)
MovieExchange
02-12-06, 11:46 PM
Joe / Styles / Daniels was good, but I prefer their Ring of Honor matches. For one, they were allowed to go longer, secondly they were less banged-up.
As for the spoiler tags, do we really need them? Anyone with an ounce of common sense should know to avoid reading the thread if they haven't watched the PPV yet. It's one thing if we were discussing taping results and the show hadn't aired yet, but that's not the case here. It's just like over in the TV forum, where we talk about TV shows as they're airing... people know not to read the thread if they don't want a spoiler. If you haven't seen the PPV, don't read the rest of my post.
The only question is how long until Jarret gets the belt back. It could be as early as the next Impact taping, when they say that Jarrett should have been disquallified. As many long-time TNA fans will remember, champions lose the belts on a DQ, but that rule has been ignored as of late. As a matter of fact, the last time I remember it being enforced was back in the weekly PPV days when D-Lo Brown and Apollo lost the tag belts.
Or Jarrett will get a rematch on Impact and get the belt back.
Seeing as the first TNA house show next month is advertising Jarrett vs. Rhino for the belt, I have a feeling he'll get it back. Or maybe we'll be lucky and they'll change the main event to Jarrett vs. Christian.

The Rhino situation is tough cause in a sense they could have done something with him but he also had an incident after wrestlemania with his wife that may have led to his release. Wasn't there but just going by what was reported.
Right now with TNA's decision on putting the title on a "WWE castoff" (which I still will debate he isn't) probably has to do with a multitude of reasons. One, he's a recognizable face with casual fans moreso than TNA homegrown stars. That's pretty big if you're going to be moving to primetime soon in April. Second, he's getting probably the biggest face pops compared to any other stars. And three, who else is more deserving?

You have definitely won me over with your view on Christian. I agree he has a good chance and shouldn't be grouped in with some other individuals form the WWE that TNA should have passed on. Guys like the James Gang were already done when they left the WWE and have nothing they can really add to TNA. Christian was still building himself up and was kind of in the same place that Chris Jericho was in when he moved from WCW to the WWF. I'm crossing my fingers that he gets a good run as champ and builds himself up to be a major player in TNA for sometime to come. He is good with a mic and that is something that will help draw in new TNA fans when they go into primetime.
Also he can easily switch to heal if needed to feud with Styles, Rhino, Sting or whoever down the road. I think trying to build him up as a major player is a much better plan than bringing in someone like Goldberg that is one dimentional and has to have the belt and run over guys in the ring to be a factor. That does nothing to build the legitimacy of the product TNA is trying to sell.
nodeerforamonth
02-13-06, 12:42 AM
Christian deserves to be champ just because of the incredible promo he gave before the match! He had me believing in him. And that the title was important and that he could actually win it. Imagine that a guy comes to TNA to get the title because it's his goal! Not because he's raising or disrespecting the dead, but because he WANTS it! Wow!
Buh Buh's promo was also great. The fact that the WWE had these guys and didn't let them speak like this, shows how completely out of touch and lame they are!
edytwinky
02-13-06, 12:44 AM
Getting Christian the title was just the first step. If they throw it back on Jarrett then it's all gone to waste. I think TNA will do the right thing and build Christian to be a solid champion....or at least I hope so. I'm extremely pro-WWE but would love for TNA to become viable competition. One thing I'd love to see Christian do in TNA is go heel but with Jeff Jarrett as the main heel it'd be hard to do with few big name faces to feud against.
The problem with bringing in Sting and possibly even Goldberg is in the Spike exec's case, it's a must. The thing keeping TNA from making that next step unfortunately is having the "familiar" stars that the casual fans know. I hate it as much as the next guy but TNA does need more bigger names. Jeff Daniels, Samoa Joe, and AJ Styles and their talent can only bring in so many fans. If fans saw that Goldberg, Chris Jericho, The Rock, Kevin Nash, were on. Maybe they might tune in to see what the "familiar stars" are up to and while they're at it, see the TNA homegrown talent and just keep on watching.

Rhino was floundering in WWE. He was pushed when he first got there and has been a glorified jobber ever since. The bad part is he was really over. Every live WWE show he appeared in he would always get a huge pop. I also remember at the 1st Taboo PPV in the poll (which was rigged BTW) for the IC match he was in the "votes for all others" catagory but when they announced his name as one of the contenders he got a big pop.
In his ECW days he had some great matches and was over as a monster. In TNA he is also over and has had great matches as well.
It proves that the chimpanzees in WWE don't know what they are doing regarding talented wrestlers. Look at Kid Kash, Paul London, and CM Punk among others. Yet Mark Henry and Chris Masters are pushed to the top of the card

Jericho is the only name that would be perfect, the difference is Jericho is a talent and can wrestle in the league of Joe AJ and Daniels.

I think this is important. If they bring in known guys that can wrestle like Jericho then those known guys can help build up the new talent along with building up the ratings. I guy like Goldberg is just going to run over people and not help at all with showing the casual fans that these other guys they don't know are worth seeing and cheering for as well.
edytwinky
02-13-06, 01:31 AM
Don't get me wrong here, I despise Goldberg. But a guy like Goldberg isn't there for talent....obviously. He's there for a name. Just another big name (as much as we'd all hate to admit, Goldberg is a big name) that would draw in fans. I know TNA is pretty protective of their homegrown stars, so i'm sure they'd try their best to protect their guys as well. Just like when WCW brought in Hogan, they weren't paying for his wrestling skill. They brought him in solely to get old school fans to watch him. People tuned into WCW to see what he would do next.
Goldberg is in the same boat. He can't wrestle worth a crap but there are those fans that don't care and would watch him for his "entertainment" value. Even more important, TNA would probably bring him in to impress Spike executives. Not everything they do is for the "fan". Spike could care less about the talent, they just want ratings and for TNA to do what they can to bring that in. Spike knows Goldberg is a huge name and would love for TNA to sign him. If they can get that done, maybe TNA can get a longer timeslot and maybe an eventual move to monday nights.
As for Jericho, I don't see him coming in. He's pretty locked into WWE even if he's not under contract. The WWE did a lot for Jericho's career and maybe even more for Fozzy. It's not like the WWE never gave him a chance. Remember he did beat Austin and The Rock to become the first undisputed champion. That's a pretty big feat.
MovieExchange
02-13-06, 09:18 AM
There are two important reasons why Goldberg would be a bad addition to TNA:
1. He doesn't know (and doesn't want to learn) how to actually wrestle, which lead to him ending the career of Bret Hart. He figures he shouldn't have to learn, because believes he should be used the way he did in WCW, a monster that tears through everyone quickly. So why bother to learn things he doesn't need to know? Which leads to...
2. He has an ego that tells him he doesn't need to do the j-o-b for anyone. If they brought this idiot in, it would kill TNA because all the "new" fans would see is that one of those "WWE castoffs" can tear through the established TNA talent, making them look like a second-rate organization.
The man has absolutely no respect for the business. If he had been brought in and actually trained as a wrestler instead of spending a few weeks in WCW's Power Plant and then shoved right into a star position, things might have been different.
What TNA needs are more people like Jericho or Christian. Guys that could be brought in to say "I could have stayed with the WWE, but I chose to leave."
As for the other WWE castoffs, even though I despise The New Age James Gang, I don't mind them. Why? Because they're harmless where they are. They're a comedy / nostalgia act like the 3 Live Kru was. They're not going to suddenly get thrown into a main event program. So they're no threat and the crowd reacts well to them. That's how the old-timers should be.

Rumour (and I stress that word) has it that Jericho was ready to come to TNA if they gave him a contract like they did Sting. Unfortunately there was only room for one contract of that type, and they wasted it on the wrong guy.
As for what the WWE has done for Jericho, don't forget that he was made to be a weak champion and they did nothing but piss on him after he lost the belt back to Triple H.

BravesMG
02-13-06, 10:35 AM
First thing on Jericho, anytime anybody says that WWE treated him well all I think of his feud with Triple H leading up to their Wrestlemania Main Event (can't remember the number, maybe WM 19?). The damn feud was over Stephanie's dog. I remember there was dog shit involved and Stephanie got some kind of rash, it was terrible. This was Jericho's first WM Main Event, they could have really made that something badass, but no, we got Steph's dog. In fairness, he was always kept at the upper mid-card/lower main event, but that Wrestlemania dog feud always killed him to me.
I'll throw up my own two cents review on the PPV last night later, but I thought it was pretty spectacular. I thought the 'throw-in' unannounced matches were excellent, especially giving Jay Lethal a PPV rub. Not that another X-Division guy can get in the title picture, but at least everybody can tell him apart. Nice to see the Naturals get a win on PPV, surprising that Aries/Strong have lost two in a row now, but I don't see them being a permanent tag team anyway. I thought Christian's win was very well done, but I think we all could have done without Zbysko's idiotic ramblings all night, just to have a screwjob/interference filled match anyway. Nice 'rana by Kim though, wouldn't have minded taking that one myself. Cool celebration for Christian too, didn't feel forced and most people seemed pretty genuinely excited.

02-13-06, 10:58 AM
Jericho as champ in WWE was great, he had great heat and storylines at first (until HHH got involved) One thing that sticks out was the Hell in the Cell match between them. From a booking poit of view Jericho should have won since it would have elevated him and HHH would have lost nothing by putting Jericho over in the match (neither had the title at the time) Since then the only things that stuck out were the WM loss with Shawn Micheals (which if Jericho won it would have elivated him and Shawn would have lost nothing) and the feud with Christian. The feud with Cena was a joke even though Jericho was way over. Its another example of how WWE wastes talent.
I do believe Jericho will eventually show up in TNA since he is friends with Christian (who dropped Jericho's name on TV) . He has also had indications on his website such as the TNA logo when he was 'fired' and stating that he enjoys watching TNA more than WWE

Actually AJ, Raven (who was TNA close to the start) and the Truth (which was a mistake) all held the belt. Right now the only other tenured guys who would make a legit champs (who have not already held it) are Abyss and Sabu (who was NWA champ before TNA). Monty Brown is not ready, maybee in a year or so. I have no problem with Christian or Rhino holding the title because they have paid there dues all over. From a carrer persective Monty is still a Rookie.

well, are there any real big tna heavyweights that weren't originally in ecw before tna, so if like sabu or rhyno got the title, would they be consitered ecw castoffs?
fujishig
02-13-06, 05:55 PM
No, rhyno is clearly also a "WWE castoff" since he was most recently with that company, right?
I understand what he's saying, and it was especially telling when they set up the heavyweight heels vs. faces, and all the faces were in the WWE a year or so ago (Christian, Rhyno, Dudleys) and the heels were all with TNA for years (Jarrett, Monty Brown, Abyss, AMW). But really, with the way that they've built up the heavyweight title picture, what "homegrown" TNA talent would you have going for the heavyweight title outside of AJ Styles (who's currently fueding with Joe and Daniels anyway)? Having Christian be the champ is much better than they were a few months ago, when they were hotshotting fueds with whatever wrestler they could sign to a contract (off the top of my head, they had Jeff Hardy, who actually lasted a while, Kip James, Nash, and DDP all in the title picture within a week or so of them showing up). So they've been overlooking the loyal roster for a while, and at least with Christian he actually chose them over WWE. They also freely acknowledge that in their storylines and promos, with JJ always saying that TNA management is always bringing in people from the outside to take "his" title.
I don't see how they'll lose their loyal fanbase now. As long as they keep the X-division the same, and maybe just add to it as far as personality goes (which they've thankfully been doing with the whole generation next thing), wrestling fans can have the x-division, hardcore fans can get their abyss/sabu/rhyno matches, and they can draw in the casual fans with the big "outside" names on top.

I dont understand all this "WWE castaway" or "Reject" talk. Back in the day wrestlers jumped between promotions all the time. When Jericho, Benoit and Eddie won world titles in WWE nobody said "I can't believe they put the title on a WCW reject mid-carder" WWE being clueless about how to push talent shouldn't be any reason for TNA not to use that talent.

02-13-06, 07:58 PM
I'd like to see Daniels end Samoa Joe's streak, and then move on to a program with Christian. I think that would establish Daniels as a credible heavyweight contender in the eyes of the fans after he beats a heavyweight like Joe, and I know he and Christian could have a good match.

Here is a newsbit from pwinsider:
For those curious where Jeff Jarrett will be in TNA storylines from this point on now that he's lost the NWA title, he'll still be a major featured character at th top of the cards. It appears he will headline Lockdown in April against Sting and should be involved in a 6 or 8 Man Tag Team bout at Destination X.
Hopefully it will keep Christian as champ for awhile, this plan better have JJ keep trying (trying as in wrestles but always loses) in rematches. :nopanic:

Exactly. Anyone saying Christian is a "castoff" is ignorant. He walked away, plain and simple. They didn't fire him, they didn't let him go, and he has made this point abundantly clear.
BTW, Austin Aries blew out his knee last night :(. That sucks.

I agree with turborobb and Quake1028. All this talk about "castaways" and "rejects" usually come from people to make themselves feel good that the time they spent watching all the junk WWE gave to the viewers are gold and shouldn't be criticized for the wrestlers, writing, or booking because of the fact that some people (marks) still to believe that McMahon (pick any of them) can't do no wrong.
Not to mention the fact that if a wrestler does leave, they (the wrestler) must have been "boring" in the WWE eyes and we (the fans) should feel the same way. Please!
Quake pretty much hit the nail on the head with wrestlers jump to wrestling companies all the time and only marks only have a problem with the jump. Bottom line: things like this is good for business because it creates unpredictiblity to the product and hopefully makes the product better in the long run.
Edit: Corrected myself by adding a couple of words I didn't put the first time.

A perfect example of these so called castaways is the Dudleys. Do you think they were not over in the WWE? Their contract was not renewed because of budget cuts and WWE didn't want to pay them what they are worth. WWE will not let them use the name they established years before their WWE days yet they still make money off them in toys DVDs ect. How many good tag teams are there in WWE now? At lest they are not doing jobs to Masters and Carlito.

If you watch it again, after the shooting star press, Aries is on the ground screaming his head off and grabbing his knee. I thought he completely blew it out when I watched it, and it looked worse on the replay. I couldn't believe he got up and worked the rest of that match. But I did think it was hilarious that he seemed to put a little extra into that suicide dive onto Stevens afterwards.

The camera angle on Aries's suicide dive was awesome! I almost ducked out of the way myself, for fear of Aries flying into the living room!
