Grimmas

Johnny if there is no political hit does that mean they are the worst at building a new ace? They have made a mistake every single moment of using Reigns from the moment his singles push started. If it's not Triple H fucking with him, then how are they so shitty at this?

I have seen one match of his in a tag setting and I came out of it hating him and thinking he ruined that match.

However they are dismissive and end discussions. Therefore they are not good at all.

Yes, please two reviews.

If they go through with Taker vs Shane with if Shane wins he gets control of Raw they have major issues. Shane is a babyface fighting to get rid of the authority. Undertaker is a babyface, because he is The Undertaker. There is no way Shane should beat Taker in a HIAC. There is no way they should tease Shane taking control of Raw without him taking control of Raw. They have booked themselves into a corner again. Doing it once I can understand, but them seem to book themselves into corners multiple times a year.

If it's not a political hit than the WWE has the worst bookers of all-time if they are trying to make Roman their new ace.

He's an interesting case.

Impact Wrestling #5 "Rising Suns" July 17, 2002 Fairgrounds in Nashville, Tennessee An opening video package is played that show some classic NWA action then some current Impact Wrestling. It then shows each of the champions celebrating after winning their titles. What follows is the prhase "The Past, The Present, and The Future of Wrestling". The Impact Wrestling logo appears as we enter the arena and get a pyro show. Don West is in the ring and welcomes everybody to Impact Wrestling. Tonight a new number one contender will be crowned as former ECW World Champion Masato Tanaka takes on former NWA World Champion Shinya Hashimoto. However first he would like to bring out Impact Wrestling match maker "Bullet" Bob Armstrong to address the Steve Corino and company situation. West first thanks Armstrong for making the great main event tonight as well as AJ Styles vs Dick Togo, but he is wondering what will be done about Steve Corino and company? Armstrong says they are not answering his calls, but he can't have talents like that sitting in the audience and not on the show. He has invited them here and would like them to come out. Steve Corino, CW Anderson, and Simon Diamond make there way to the ring holding up the four fingers. Armstrong asks what it is they want and Corino claims it may be too late. It's been 5 shows and Corino has not had a World Title shot. Armstrong says you have to earn it and if he wants to earn that spot, he can give him the opportunity. At this point Nelson Knight makes his return after the attacks weeks ago. Knight says he wants revenge, but he is not dumb enough to come out alone. Since Corino keeps raising the four fingers he has brought two men that know what that is all about. First, the stepbrother of former Horsemen member Carl Malekno and secondly one of the greatest Horesmen in history, Barry Windham. Knight, Malenko, and Windham approach the ring as Corino, Anderosn, and Diamond leave through the crowd. Armstrong books a six man tag next week between the two units. The announcers talk about what a huge development that was. Tenay and Ranallo wonder if Corino and company are cowards, but Callis says they are just smart and picking their spots. NWA X Division Champion AJ Styles vs Dick Togo Togo pummels AJ a lot and hit a huge flying senton for what looked like the win, but AJ got his foot on the rope. AJ was then able to counter a power bomb into an inside cradle for the lucky victory. Winner: AJ Styles @ 16:46 After the match Togo starred at AJ and the title as he left as Callis thinks AJ got lucky and Dick Togo is the future X Divisiion champion. A video is played of former NFL player Monty Brown training for his debut next on Impact Wrestling. Kid Romeo & Elix Skipper vs The SAT An exciting match where in the end Romeo pulled the tights for the win. After the match Romeo and Skipper danced and made the motion that they are future tag team champions. Winners: Kid Romeo & Elix Skipper @ 9:01 Jeremy Borash is backstage and brings in Homicide and Da Hit Squad for an interview. Borash asks if Homicide can get a win without the help of Da Hit Squad? Homicide and Da Hit Squad get pissed, pull the mic away and kick him out. They took Amazing Red out of Impact Wrestling. AJ Styles better watch his back, because the X Division title is coming to Homicide. York and Matthews better look out, because Da Hit Squad are the future tag team champions. Super Dragon w/ James Mitchell vs Ace Steel Super Dragon squashes Steel and looks like an unstoppable monster. The Pyscho Killer ends it. Winner: Super Dragon @ 4:12 Jeremy Borash is backstage and he is with The Glamour Boys, Shane Sewell and Brian Kendrick. They heard that Impact Wrestling is where tag team wrestling is and they are here to win the belts. Last week they showed that York and Matthews do not compare to The Glamour Boys. Tonight Chris Harris and James Storm will see why they are the most glamorous team in all of wrestling. The Glamour Boys vs Chris Harris & James Storm A really good southern tag match that could had gone either way. Sliced Bread #2 by Brian on Harris gets the win. Winners: The Glamour Boys @ 11:15 A video package shows Jeff Jarrett getting attacked by Ron Killings and BG James. Then him losing to NWA World Champion Ken Shamrock. It also shows Scott Hall getting taken out by Killings and James. The video ends with Jarrett and Hall returning to Impact Wrestling next week to make statements. Jeremy Borash is backstage with Killings and James. Borash asks them what their reaction to Jarrett and Hall's return next week. They laugh it off, as their time is over. It is now time for The Krew to take off Impact Wrestling. Tonight Killings will take apart Devon Storm and then the NWA Title is coming their way. Ron Killings w/ BG James vs Devon Storm Storm puts up a good fight, but Killings gains the decisive victory. Winner: Ron Killings @ 6:06 Don West is in the Event Centre and hypes up next week's massive show where the winner of the next match between Hashimoto and Tanaka will take on NWA World Champion Ken Shamrock. Plus former NFL star Monty Brown makes his in ring debut. There will also be a massive six man tag as Da Hit Squad and Homicide will face off against AJ Styles, Christian York, and Joey Matthews! Steve Corino, CW Anderson, and Simon Diamond into the ring to face the ragtag team of Nelson Knight, Carl Malenko, and Barry Windham! All this will be live next Wednesday evening! Shinya Hashimoto vs Masato Tanaka (Top Contenders Match) They go all out to have a great match here and to help establish Hashimoto as a bad ass. Winner: Shinya Hashimoto @ 19:14 Hashimoto celebrates in the ring as Don Callis claims he is unstoppable and the next NWA World Heavyweight Champion. Tune in next week to find out.

It's the disconnect, I think, between the commentators talking about him as a home-town hero (saying that his "friends and family" are there live) and him then being introduced as residing in Florida. It seems like the kind of thing a heel would do. It is pretty silly to talk about someone competing in their home town, but announcing him from somewhere else.

I see a lot of people complain about the feed and I never have issues. My internet isn't that great or am I just lucky? I think a lot of people blame the network for their spotty internet or maybe they are using the internet for a lot of other things which would slow down the network. I'm not sure.

We have left it open for people to use their own criteria, but it's mostly based on in ring.

I find that weird too. I tend to favour guys we have a lot of tape of who are at the end of their prime or post prime. Basically someone in their prime should not be really shitty. If someone is currently in their prime within the next year or so they could become shitty and I would feel stupid voting for them.

He was always a tool, it's just that he was a goofy heel early on which hid the fact.

We have a LOT of nominees, so this cut off will be pretty strict. Plus I am putting together a google forum to vote with, so adding extra nominees later slows everything down.

Who was picking talent for TNA? That early run seems so insane. Sure you bring in Wolfie D and Flash Flanagan, but you also bring in Ron Harris and Brian Lee. Also why wasn't Tracy Smothers on those shows in Nashville????

Yeah, no idea why TNA did not bring in Dragon. The big thing on the undercard is going to revolve around Low Ki and Super Dragon, so that should be fun. I'm curious who you thought the fourth man will be, but the reveal is coming.

I'm probably going to be the high vote on Waltman. Early on he was such a great heel, then transitioned into a perfect babyface. Great matches all over the place. He tailed down in 96ish due to injury and drugs, but he still had some great performances mixed in. His case is really made 90-98.

I am having so much trouble considering anyone who is currently in their prime, what about you folks? Daniel Bryan and CM Punk are both going to do better on this list now then when this process started, because their careers are over. Ranking people in prime just seems wrong to me. It feels like putting Angle in the HOF at or near his prime and then he started to suck. AJ will make it probably, because he's really at the tail end of his prime. However I can't take a Cesaro seriously for this. Am I way off here?

Discuss here.

Discuss here.

No. People reject him because he's not very believable outside the ring and he says very lame lines and doesn't react to situations like a human would.

Is this a reddit thing, a twitter thing, a wrestleforum thing or a you thing? I hope Reigns wins like I always do because he's one of the few actually good wrestlers on the WWE roster. Reigns is really good in ring, but he's not anywhere near company ace level. A lot of that has to do with shitty booking, but he's not got it as a babyface yet. Plus him vs Hunter is a super underwhelming main event.

I completely forgot there was a show tonight. The card could have some good matches, but damn is the booking horrible right now. My hopes for tonight is that they change direction a few ways, because I have no interest in Roman/Hunter and Bray/Brock.

Sad I had to bail on this for a variety of reasons, but I'm sure it turned out ever better. Plus with this crew I wouldn't be able to get a word in anyway.
