I'M AN ASS MAN

"You see, The Rock knows what happened the night you won King Of The Ring. You got down on your knees out your litle hands together and said a prayer to God. "Oh God, my names Billy and I just won King of the ring, but there's one problem, everybody still thinks that I absolutely suck!"

"Bob?"

"But my names Billy.."

"IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS!"

I wonder if you could request a poor quality tron vid like that. Make a gimmick out of it.

Play those Tazz and D'lo vids at the same time.

YOU BETTA RECOGNISE!

That finish sucked. Fans couldn't be more unimpressed.

I've just found badly remixed themes on Youtube. These things are strawberry floating incredible.





Why would anyone do this?

[Cumberdanes]

What were they thinking with this music/gimmick?

The HBK one

Just listen to the opening few seconds

[Cumberdanes]

I miss the days when wrestlers all had their own distinct themes. For too long now everything just sounds the same. Not watching wrestling as often as I used to I often struggle to tell who is on their way to the ring as all the intro music blends into one.

Say what you want about Hogan but when this came over the PA,



there was never any doubt over who was coming down the aisle.

ESPN's Scott Hall profile's about to air in the US. I imagine it'll be pretty sad viewing.

Speaking of which,

Best Roseanne alt theme ever

I was going to post that! Such an awesome theme.

First time back in here since before BFG. Stayed away to avoid spoilers.

Just finished watching it and bar the main event, I thought it was an excellent PPV. Why were so many reactions that it's the same old gooseberry fool and just as bad as WWE? Yes having Kurt retain was bad, but the rest of the show was decent. (Okay Hogan Sting wasn't great but it was about as good as they could have hoped for.)

[Jam-Master Jay]

I enjoyed it.

The main problem comes when you read the spoilers for iMPACT! and learn Hogan probably had the main-event result changed.

Hall Documentary. Halfway through now.

Next weeks IMPACT Wrestling results.

Impact started with TNA World Heavyweight Champion James Storm, who came to the ring. Storm had a new theme song and TitanTron video. Storm talked about how he has fought to be champion for fifteen years after deciding to become a wrestler when he watched Wrestlemania III with his late father. Storm said he would not be here without the fans and then he called Fortune to come out to the ring.

Storm thanked all four of them, particularly Roode and said that they are the reason that the company is beginning to turn around.

Samoa Joe came down to the ring and told Storm that he might just turn into another Bischoff and hand out opportunities to his close friends. Joe called out Roode for his failure to win the title at Bound For Glory. Storm told Joe that his window of opportunity had closed a while ago and that Joe has done nothing to earn a title shot.

Sting came to the stage and made Bobby Roode versus Samoa Joe tonight and the winner gets a shot at the TNA World Heavyweight Championship when Impact comes to Macon, Georgia next week.

Match Number One: Rob Van Dam defeated Christopher Daniels by Disqualification. AJ Styles was on commentary for the match. They went to the floor and Daniels hit Van Dam with a toolbox causing the disqualification. Daniels took a screwdriver out of the toolbox and Styles left the announce table and ran to the ring to chase Daniels away and Daniels ran to the back.

Gail Kim, Madison Rayne, Karen Jarrett, and Traci Brooks came to the ring. Gail talked about how she left "the other company" and is better than everyone else and praised herself for giving Velvet Sky a concussion last week. As a gift to Gail for returning, Karen Jarrett gave Gail Kim a title match against TNA Knockouts Champion Velvet Sky at Turning Point.

Match Number Two: Gail Kim defeated Tara via Eat Defeat.

Match Number Three: TNA Television Champion Eric Young defeated Robbie E in a non title match with a Crucifix pin.

After the match, Robbie E and Rob Terry attacked Young. Young grabbed a mic and said that he is not the brightest when it comes to decision making, but in Macon, Georgia, Robbie E and Rob Terry should watch out because Ronnie from Jersey Shore will be at Eric Young's side.

Eric Bischoff came to the ring and called out his son Garrett. Eric told Garrett about how many more opportunities Garrett received from coming up in the wrestling business that most wrestlers do not get. Bischoff brought up how Garrett was backstage with him in AWA. Eric told Garrett to apologize to him by the end of the night. Garrett tried to get a word in, but Eric did not want to be interrupted and called Garrett a punk and a prick.

Ric Flair was backstage with Garrett talking to him about how he should apologize to his father.

Jeff Jarrett came to the ring and ranted about Jeff Hardy again. Jarrett said that what the video package didn't show (one was not played for the live crowd) was what happened at Victory Road 2011, saying that most people may not remember including Jeff himself. Jarrett referenced Hardy no showing back at Turning Point 2004 before Hardy came to the ring. Both men had to be separated by security. Bully Ray came to the ring and attacked Hardy and this led to an impromptu match.

Match Number Four: Jeff Hardy defeated Bully Ray with a Swanton Bomb.

After the match, Hardy went to the ramp to be interviewed by Christy Hemme. Hardy welcomed the fans back into his life. Jarrett ran in from the crowd and attacked Hardy. Ray told Jarrett to put Hardy in the ring. Jarrett grabbed a table and they tried to super powerbomb Hardy from the turnbuckles through the table until Ken Anderson's music hit and Anderson ran out for the save.

Match Number Five: Bobby Roode defeated Samoa Joe in a Number One Contender's Match for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship with the Payoff. After the match, Storm came to the stage and stared at Roode.

Roode also had a new theme and TitanTron video.

Eric Bischoff came to the ring and called out Garrett once more and asked for an apology. Garrett came out and refused to apologize. Ric Flair came to the ring and got in Garrett's face asking him what he thinks he is doing and told Garrett to apologize. Garrett shoved Flair, and then Flair attacked Garrett. Eric gave Garrett a low blow and then Eric and Flair attacked Garrett and threw him out of the ring. After the attack, Flair and Eric hugged.

Xplosion

Match Number One: Madison Rayne defeated Brooke Tessmacher with a rollup the assistance of Brooke's tights. During the match, Madison kept trying to get Earl Hebner's attention. At one point, Madison was thrown towards Earl and Earl caught her in a dancing position and kissed her before dancing a bit.

Match Number Two: TNA Television Champion Eric Young defeated Rob Terry w/Robbie E with a Crucifix Pin.

Match Number Three: Gunner defeated Kazarian when Kazarian went for a sunset flip from the apron to the ring, but Gunner countered it by covering him and grabbing the ropes.

Lucky bastard, Hebner!

I don't watch a lot of tna but if Dixie carter now has full control of the company back then why is Eric bischoff still there?
