I gave up trying to make sense of their core fanbase for years. Glad TNA is getting turned up.

I hope that Impact can build upon this PPV and have good tv. The tapings after the PPV were drab... was it because the matches just not interesting/exciting or were the storylines drab?

Meltzer via the Observer this week: quote:The show drew a sellout crowd of just over 1,000 fans, but at least they were paid as opposed to freebies in Orlando. The crowd was rabid, there to have a good time and not heckle, and clearly loved the show. As a fan who watches a lot of UK Wrestling and someone with eyes, I know the difference between 1,000 and 3,000. It was a 1,000.

Basic Chunnel posted:Is Slammiversary really the best Ppv of the year to date or do people just not remember anything prior to like April It was by no means better than Wrestle Kingdom etc etc It was definitely better than WWE's output since at least the Rumble, and arguably the false hopes it's given people so far as to what's come after have been less disappointing than the Rumble ("oh no, the shows since are boring" vs "oh no that was their best moments and now Nakamura can barely win a midcard belt and Asuka's favoriting people on social media who want her to go back to NXT where at least she was booked semi-intelligently") so even that's better overall

There's a lot of good wrestling happening so when TNA suddenly shows up with a decent to good show, its like the weird kid from highschool showing up to the party with a pound of weed.

WWE events still regularly air on PPV New Japan had one PPV one time, and it wasn't even this year's Wrestle Kingdom, it was the 2015 one, which Dave even said "was the only live pro wrestling PPV event ever broadcast [internationally] from Japan"

The Impact after Slammiversary was also... pretty good? Like, obviously I'm not going take a company with Austin Aries as champion seriously, but I liked all of the wrestling matches? I disliked most of the bad guys and liked most of the good guys. I have full confidence that next week will be 24/7 Grado vs Killer Kross.

Those shows weren't named, they weren't special, nor were they high profile. And yet you had to PAY to watch them.

Moose kinda freaked people out backstage after the PPV on Sunday and then on Monday tweeted and later deleted "C T E": https://twitter.com/411wrestling/status/1023383914650460161 He did play in the NFL too obviously so I hope he will be okay.

Kennedy is a good promo and decent in the ring but also a giant douchenozzle. This was the guy that got bounced from WWE because he would not shut up about doing steroids.

Kennedy was always fun on the mic but how he did in the ring seemed to depend HARD on who he was in there with. In TNA he had some matches with RVD that were just complete messes, but then had them Bubba Ray and looked fine.

What little I can remember of Kennedy in WWE annoys me. He'd always flail wildly when someone picked him up, and it always looked dumb and dangerous where it was probably meant to make it look like he tried to fight out of a move. You don't need to fight out of every powerslam, Ken. It doesn't make you look any tougher.
