The New (Spam Free) Never Ending Wrestling Thread

Mike Tenay needs to be fired. I really hate his voice, hate his announcing, hate his constant failed attempts at 'selling' the product and I just hate the having the whiney freak on my TV at all.

Mike Tenay is easily one of the Top 10 Things that make TNA -- NEAR TOTAL FUCKING SHIT.

Tenay has a rare gift in that he can make an entire broadcast unwatchable simply by opening his mouth. As a play by play guy he's as bad, if not worse, than some of the idiots you hear doing commentary in the garbage promotions on youtube.

He was good/tolerable on Nitro as the 3rd guy offering backgrounds and tidbits. That was a great role for him because he knows his shit. The more he talks though, the more you wish that one of the stage lights will fall and crush his larynx. Makes Michael Cole seem like Gordon Solie... and THAT is tough to do.

And yet for all that, Don West makes Mike Tenay seem like Gorilla Monsoon by comparison.

[Subhuman Yeti]

I loved Gorilla on the mic. Especially those old MSG and Maple Leaf Gardens shows USA would show sometimes.
Not a lot of great matches, but a lot of great times watching when I was younger.
I loved the announce of Monsoon and Heenan.
At their worst, they blow Tenay and West at their best - whatever that is.
Whatever it is, I've never seen it.
West has SUCKED from the first second he started speaking in TNA.


Those old Sammartino announced WWF matches were brutal to listen to though.

[Lardbucket]

That was not a riot. That was just a fucking brawl. FUCKING LIARS!!

But dude!!!
The COPS WERE CALLED!!!

...fucking awful...

Gorilla and Heenan were great. They had their own style and great chemistry. They're still fun to listen to watching those old matches years later. The knock on Heenan was, and I'm pretty sure he is who Foley alluded to in his book, was that he was at times more concerned putting himself over than he was the guys in the ring. Still... the two of them were a great listen, even if I don't think their style would fly today.

As for West. He was hired solely for his sales pitch. They wanted someone on the air that could sell the product, and more importantly, try and sell PPVs. Apparently someone must have loved those 4am infomercials to give West the job.

Those old Sammartino announced WWF matches were brutal to listen to though.

The Vince McMahon (who I thought was underrated as a commentator), Bruno, and Pat Patterson team was painful. Only one I can think of that was worse, besides Tenay and West, was Mike McGuirk (remember her?) and Bruce Pritchard.

[nakedmadman]

Personally, I'd love to see Vince get back behind a mic!

[makaveli]

Gorilla and Hennan FTW!!!! I still have some of the great old Coliseum Video releases, and those dudes were so far ahead of these idiots they have on the mics today, it's sickening. Prime Time Wrestling was the greatest wrestling program in the history of the "sport", at least until the "Attitude" era of Raw.

[LAglamrocker]

I fell for the Calgary Kid!..ha ha

love to see Vince still fuck with Canada

[Sabu]

I fell for the Calgary Kid!..ha ha

I thought it was Lance Storm for a second. I almost had a heart attack...

[bigbuttskinner]

I thought to myself in the early part of RAW if they would do a Bret Hart tease. Sure enough, it happened. I did enjoy Sgt. Slaughter joking on Canada all night; brings back good memories haha.

[Monty610]

The Calgary Kid RULES!

I have become a huge Miz Mark. The motherfucker grew on me like a fungus. I really used to hate him in an X-Pac heat kind of way, but sometime during this whole anti-Cena thing he's been doing I really started to like the guy. And I'm not even a huge Cena hater.'

But I did fast forward through the Cena/Orton bits last night. I just can't take it anymore.

And I totally marked out when Shawn superkicked the manager, and the LITTLE GIRL!

Awesome...

[ozzyrulz777]

Yeah I thought it was awesome when he superkicked the brat.

[ozzyrulz777]

I wonder what will happen on TNA tonight?

[alecjonsludge]

I've got a buddy who helps out with an indy fed in the Ottawa area.This morning they were on an Ottawa tv station to promote Abdullah The Butcher's last match,when they deviated from the script somewhat.(The male announcer agreed to some shenanigans, but not to being cut open,the female co-host never agreed to anything).Apparently the station manager has called the cops and they are going to interview Abdullah and the owner of the Fed(seen picking up the female co-host).The clip itself looks pretty tame IMO, but I guess the station is upset with the "live blood",and the woman is pissed off about being scooped up. Regardless, my buddy claims the owner is ecstatic and thinks this added publicity will be great for ticket sales.

[Subhuman Yeti]

I wonder what will happen on TNA tonight... other than the announce team royally sucking and overselling fucking everything as the best/greatest/most controversial shit EVER, the cheezy angles, the horrible match-layout booking, the fucking ridiculous looking (and named) IMPACT ZONE, the shitty production and the incredibly amatuer camera work...

All that non-HARDCORE, rarely entertaining, WCW-lite shit and nothing new.

I rode past Batista twice today on the Venice Beach bike path this afternoon... guy is fuckin' HUGE.

[nakedmadman]

Hmmm, Let's see... DX reformed, Jerico and Big Show, Legacy, Cryme Time, The Heart Dynasty, a Hardy reunion... Are we seeing a return of the tag team division?

Kurt Angle is in trouble!!!:

"According to a criminal report filed in Pittsburgh today, Kurt Angle has been arrested and is currently in the Allegheny County Jail. There was an altercation at the home of Kurt Angle involving Angle and girlfriend Trenesha Biggers, aka TNA's Rhaka Khan. Biggers went to police and filed a protection from abuse order against Angle, and police came and removed Angle from the home this morning.

At around 8AM, Biggers called police again, stating that Angle was stalking her. She had gone to a Starbucks to use the internet, and told police that Angle had her phone and had been circling the parking lot. She claimed Angle was deleting photos from the phone, which were described as "pictures of abuse".

Angle was questioned by police, under suspicion of DUI, and when they searched the vehicle, they found used syringes and two vials of HGH. Angle claimed that he had a prescription for the medication, and could provide that to police.

Angle is currently awaiting arraignment on the following charges:

* Driving while operating privileges suspended
* Prohibited acts
* Possession
* Harassment

Angle is scheduled to defend the TNA Title tomorrow night at the Hard Justice PPV in Orlando, Florida."

[ozzyrulz777]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[silent_eyes]

Just when you think the company was gonna go pro-Angle and dump Jarret... this happens. I bet bet Jeff Jarrett jumped up off the couch and threw his fist in the air repeatedly screaming "YES!!! YES!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!" when he heard the news.

[Angry Jew]

Sadly this is probably true. WTF did Eugene do, I thought he was at least gonna be a trainer for FCW.

[Angry Jew]

According to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, Kurt Angle has been released from jail on bond following his arrest earlier today for driving with a suspended license, illegal possession, breaking an order of protection and harassment.

Angle will face a preliminary hearing scheduled for 10 a.m. Tuesday before District Judge Carla Swearingen in Robinson.

No one in TNA knows as of yet if Angle will make the TNA Hard Justice PPV on Sunday night. Kurt Angle, the current TNA World champion, is/was set to defend his title against Sting & Matt Morgan in the main event of the PPV.

Angle’s hearing on Tuesday means he will almost certainly miss the Impact taping that evening.

[Drunken_Little_Elf]

Well if they can't depend on Angle, how long until they bring back the always reliable Scott Hall???

[ozzyrulz777]

This is karma just buttfucking Angle. This is great.

[theglammerthebetter]

I dont follow tna at all, i read stuff online about Karen angle being involved with jarrett is this a storyline or a real life thing? Yes i know the angles are divorced

[Angry Jew]

The only reason I think it is real is Jarrett was still a minority owner in the company (he founded TNA)and now there is talk that Dixie Carter may buy him out of his shares/interest and that he may just be a wrestler on the show.Who knows though with TNA.

Report by Jason Powell:

1. TNA Asylum match. The wrestlers in the match were Chris Sabin, Alex Shelley, Amazing Red, Suicide, Jay Lethal, Daniels, Consequences Creed, and D’Angelo Dinero. The audio problem cleared up quickly. Suicide was the final wrestler introduced. A bunch of fog machines went off on the stage and when everything cleared Suicide was standing there.

Dinero (a/k/a Elijah Burke) came to the ring. West said Dinero comes from a long line of street preachers in New York. Tenay noted that Lethal and Frankie Kazarian won the two previous Asylum matches. Nice touch to acknowledge the history of the match. Most of the wrestlers wore gloves for the match to save their hands from wear and tear while climbing the cage.

Fun action early. The live crowd was especially responsive to the Guns’ double team moves. The crowd chanted, “This is awesome,” at 6:00. Daniels and Dinero stood on the top rope and traded punches. Dinero ducked a punch and Daniels struck the cage. Dinero followed up by spearing Daniels off the ropes and onto the mat. Nice spot.

Finish came when Daniels finally made the escape out the top.

Winner: Daniels

Jeremy Borash interviewed Daniels at ringside. He said the winner of the Homicide vs. Samoa Joe title match would lose to him next month. He said said A.J. Styles was at home and dedicated his win to him…

Backstage, Lauren interviewed Matt Morgan, who admitted that he wanted to be in the Main Event Mafia until Kurt Angle used him and never rewarded him. Morgan said he was rewarding himself with the TNA Championship…

An video recapped Dr. Stevie putting a bounty on Abyss’s head…

2. $50,000 Bounty Match: Abyss vs. Jethro Holiday (w/Dr. Stevie).

Abyss defeats Jethro Holiday clean with the Black Hole Slam after Holiday dominated much of the match. After the match, Stevie got in Holiday's face but got taken out.

Backstage, Jeremy Borash interviewed Kurt Angle, who is once again clean shaven. Borash noted that Morgan indicated it would be every man for himself in the main event. Angle said Morgan is young and hopped up with energy, but he'd be thinking differently after they spoke later in the night...

3. Hernandez beat Rob Terry in five seconds.

Backstage, Lauren interviewed Beer Money. James Storm said no one derailed Beer Money other than Beer Money. Robert Roode said they are going back to doing what they do best, "Makin' Cash and Gettin' Trashed," which just so happens to be the slogan on the back of their new t-shirts...

4. The British Invasion vs. Beer Money for the IWGP Tag Titles.

Eric Young came out wearing a suit and sat in on commentary. British Invasion win when Eric Young interferes, costing Beer Money the match. Beer Money attacks British Invasion and Young after the match.

Backstage, Lauren interviewed ODB and Cody Deaner. Cody said he knew Lauren was wondering what would happen if The Beautiful People tried to rape him. "Sexual harassment is a daily reality for The Deaner," he said. "I can't walk down the street without cougars falling all over me and trying to rip off my shirt. ODB said she'd take the "TNA Knocked Up Title," put lime juice on the belt, and "shine it up on these big monster boobies of mine"...


5. Angelina Love (w/Velvet Sky, Madison Rayne) vs. ODB (w/Cody Deaner).

ODB bullies Love into the corner and throwing some punches. Love fighting back with kicks to the stomach. ODB has Love in a headlock and tags in Cody Deaner. Deaner is smacking Love in the ass while the crowd chants "he's a pervert." Deaner drapes Love's ass across the top turnbuckle and smacks it ten times as the crowd chants "1, 2, 3, 4...etc." ODB and Sky are tagged back in. ODB goes to the top but Madison Rayne distracts her. Beautiful People now in control of the action again. Deaner begging for the tag as the crowd gets back into it. ODB finally makes the tag and Love misses a smack. Deaner grabs her and kisses her. She swings and misses again. Deaner grabs and kisses her again. Final time Deaner grabbed her and made out with her intensely. More make-out spots with Deaner and the Beautiful People. Yawn. Drop toe-hold from Deaner, draping Sky across the ropes, 6-1-9 style. Deaner winds up to approach Ms. Sky from behind. As he closes in, Sky hits him with a low blow kick. ODB attacks Love. Rayne tries to spray Deaner but he ducks and he pins Sky for the three count.

After the match, the ring announcer named ODB the new champion. Deaner stole the belt and said he's the champion since he won. Deaner split and ODB chased after him.

Angelina Love looks pissed and gets in Velvet Sky's face. Sky is wimpering and trying to explain what Rayne did. They both turn and look at Rayne all angry. Lots of lady-yepling going on. Love walks off pissed off.

Lauren is backstage with Taz and Samoa Joe. Taz says tonight isn't about rehashing what happened with Hernandez. Taz says Hernandez didn't beat Joe - Joe beat Joe. Taz says that's irrelevant because tonight is about the X division championship. Taz says Joe is in the zone and he'll leave tonight with the title. Taz says Joe is bringing the belt to the Main Event Mafia and it's happening now. Taz and Joe walk off.

6. Homicide vs. Samoa Joe (w/Taz) for the X Division Title.

Joe dominating the action early on. Lots of back and forth action now. Homicide with several nearfalls. The crowd is slowly getting into this one more and more. Joe out of nowhere gets Homicide in the rear naked choke and gets the victory to become the new X-Division champion.

JB is racing up behind Angle backstage. JB asks where he's going. Angle said he's going into Morgan's locker room. Angle busts into Morgan's dressing room and Morgan yells at him for not knocking. Angle said he apologizes for some of the things he said last week. He asks Morgan if the Main Event Mafia is what he wants. Morgan says he went on national TV and told the world he wanted in. Morgan said it was Angle's decision to make him jump through hoops. He said this is all Angle's fault. Angle says he can't change the past but he can change Morgan's future. Angle said there's a contract waiting for him in the Main Event Mafia and he's only gotta do one last thing. He says he don't have to lay down for him tonight or anything, just work along with Angle tonight. As long as either guy walks out of the match with the title, the Main Event Mafia wins. Morgan makes Angle repeat the sentence where he said as long as either guy walks out with the title. Angle looks happy they made an agreement while Morgan walks off, seemingly not caring at all.

7. Scott Steiner and Booker T (w/Sharmell) vs. Team 3D in a falls count anywhere, no DQ match for the TNA Tag Titles.

Tenay said there were two referees assigned to the match. Steiner and Brother Ray brawled in one part of the building, while Booker and Devon fought in another area.

Steiner stood on a railing and tried to jump onto Ray, but he slipped. Steiner landed on his feet and dove onto Ray anyway. A couple minutes later, Steiner stood on the railing again and dove onto Ray down below. The live crowd popped big for the dive. It was cool to see Steiner take the leap at this point in his career.

"Table" chant breaks out from the crowd again so they set up another one. Booker T book-ends Brother Ray through the table. He pins him but Devon breaks up the count. Steiner attacks Devon from behind and now he and Booker are double-teaming him. Steiner and Booker with a number of close pinfall attempts but they can't put Devon or Brother Ray away. Booker gets caught up in the ropes trying his scissors kick. Devon and Steiner are slugging it out. Devon with a powerslam on Steiner into a pin but only gets two. Devon with a spinebuster on Booker. Devon with a back suplex on Booker. Devon now can't finish off Booker or Steiner either for a three-count. Steiner whips Devon into the ropes and follows in with a clothesline. Out of nowhere, Brother Ray and Devon hit the 3D on Booker T. Devon pins him. Scott Steiner, however, rolls up Brother Ray for a pin at the same time. There is controversy between the two refs now as to who won. The official call: because there is a conflict amongst the refs, both refs will view the replay, NFL challenge style, and review the call. We get a bunch of replays as the refs look into the monitor, complete NFL style. After a few moments we hear that the decision has been made and Scott Steiner and Booker T were awarded the victory.

Backstage, JB is with Mick Foley. He asks his thoughts on tonight's Legends title match. Foley says with the title he picked up more money for pictures from fans. He says he's just joking. Foley takes shots at Kevin Nash being money-hungry and how Foley has pride and respect.

8. Mick Foley vs. Kevin Nash for the TNA Legends Title.

They fought to ringside early. Foley struck Nash with a chair a few times. Foley dove off the ring apron and tried to drop an elbow on Nash on the floor, but Nash held up the chair. Foley came up bleeding heavily from the eye. Looks like 25 (or more) big ones for Foley again this month. Nash threw Foley back in the ring and the match continued.

Foley punching away at Nash as blood spews out of Nash's face now. Both guys bladed heavy for this one. Ref now looking concerned for Nash, pleading for him to stop it. Foley runs knee first into Nash in the corner, knocking the ref out along the way. Foley goes to the floor now and pulls out the barbed-wire bat. Traci comes out to ringside and on the apron. Nash hits Foley with a boot to the head, which knows her off the apron. Nash pins Foley and gets the three count to become the new TNA Legends champion.

After the match, Nash blasts Foley with the barbed wire bat. Abyss' music hits and out he comes with a barbed-wire bat of his own. Nash runs off as Abyss stands in the ring hugging his barbed wire bat. Abyss and Foley embrace as the crowd pops.

Backstage, Sting told Lauren that Matt Morgan is young and will learn from his mistakes just as he did. Sting said Kurt Angle will walk all over people just to take care of himself. Sting said honor, dignity, and respect will come back in style. "And I do mean style," Sting said...

9. Kurt Angle vs. Sting vs. Matt Morgan in a three-way for the TNA Title.

Not much of a reaction for Morgan when he walked out. Big pop for Sting. Angle received boos, but nothing out of the ordinary. He made zero eye contact with the fans until he climbed inside the ring. Jeremy Borash handled the in-ring introductions. Earl Hebner was the referee.

Angle and Morgan worked together to open the match. They whipped Sting into the corner. Morgan hit a shoulder block. Angle went for a shoulder block of his own, but Sting moved and Angle tumbled to ringside. The three men fought at ringside. Morgan was whipped into the guardrail. West pointed out that Morgan was right in front of his wife. Morgan's wife was smiling and patted Morgan on the shoulder.

Crowd chants "You got arrested!" at Angle.

Angle pins Morgan after faking a serious injury to retain the TNA World title.
