Roman and Charlotte? Braun would have been if they didn't constantly cut his legs out from under him.

Roman was barely in NXT. He was more of an FCW guy.

Every once in a while I'm reminded of that Disturbed song and that the lyrics sounded like "Step off 'cause you're the next woman I'm gonna kill you don't believe it but I'm betting that you will"

And I'm pretty sure the chorus is "I'M KILLING THE LIVING INSIDE YOU" which is loving embarrassing.

I'm baking the lemon inside you!

Edge & Christian posted:

I think the only babyface that won King of the Ring after it became a televised/PPV event instead of a special house show was Bret Hart in the first KoTR, and that was mostly to set up a feud with Jerry "The King" Lawler.

Given that Vince introduced the "King" gimmick as a rib on Harley Race (who was portrayed as a self-important buffoonish heel) and also brought in Lawler in a similar role to feud with Bret Hart, there's probably some Vince pathology about how kings think they're so much better than everyone and need to be taken down a peg, which led to the next fourteen Kings of the Ring being deluded heels.

Actually I guess Ken Shamrock was a babyface (based on him beating Jarrett and then Nation-era Rock in the tournament) when he won KOTR 1998, but that was at the height of Vince Russo influenced Crash TV and maybe they gave it to Shamrock instead of Rocky to swerve the fans. I know that within a couple of months they were teasing the Rock turning face prior to the Survivor Series Screwjob and Shamrock ended up in the Corporation by then too.

Edge was a face when he won it.

Why do they still bother announcing that it's one fall? Like, that's the default, you don't need to tell us.

Because there are match types that involve multiple falls or no falls.

They moved to Spike in 2005 but 2007 was when it went to 2 hours.

Right, so as best as I can figure the timeline is (Bold are on Impact+):

2004 to mid 2005: FS1
mid 2005: No TV, on Internet
mid 2005 to mid 2007: 1 hour on Spike

mid 2007 to 2014: 2 hours on Spike
2015 to Destination America
2016 to mid-2017: Pop TV
mid-2017 to 2018: Pop TV rebranded without "TNA"
most of 2019: Pursuit
late 2019 to present: AXS


So the 2 hour Spike deal seems like the thing missing, with the "select 2008 episodes" being the odd one.

edit: I checked and they actually have all of 2007 and the first few months of 2008. So I guess they just renegotiated something then instead of when they expanded to 2 hours? What's missing seems to be April 2008 to January 2015.

It took about 3 years for WWE to upload all of the old Raw and SD episodes on their network. Impact is probably just taking their time uploading their old stuff.
