The Aftermath of the TNA "No Surrender" PPV

15th September 2011

 

Don't miss Thursday's huge "IMPACT WRESTLING" broadcast on SpikeTV at 9/8c, featuring the aftermath of the "No Surrender" PPV and Ric Flair vs. Sting. Here is a preview of Thursday's broadcast:

 

Wrestling icons collide this week on "IMPACT WRESTLING" as the maniacal Sting battles his longtime nemesis "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. If Sting wins, he gets to face Hulk Hogan at "Bound For Glory" - but if Flair wins, Sting has to retire.

 

It's the aftermath of Sunday's "No Surrender" Pay-Per-View event. Bobby Roode won the "Bound For Glory" Series and is headed to "Bound For Glory" for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship against Kurt Angle. Both Roode and Angle will appear on "IMPACT WRESTLING", as the road to TNA's biggest title match of the year begins this Thursday.

 

Plus, what's next for "The Charismatic Enigma" Jeff Hardy after his emotional return? Who will welcome him back - and who still has issues to settle? Don't miss it this Thursday.

 

Also appearing: AJ Styles, Rob Van Dam, Bully Ray, Abyss, Mickie James, Velvet Sky, the X Division Superstars and many more.

 

All this and much more on "IMPACT WRESTLING" this Thursday at 9/8c on SpikeTV!

[Omega 354]

Please tell me Sting V Hogan isn't really going to happen?

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

It is. Watching Hogan try and work a match is going to be sad.

 

I will say though, as much as the women are irritating and as much flak as Velvet gets these days, if they actually do something where Velvet FINALLY wins the KO Title at BFG after all her years in the company in a big babyface moment, that will be, well, uncharacteristically nice.

[Guest John Hancock]

Me and one of my friends had a HUGE conversation about this Hogan/Sting match just trying to figure out how it can possibly happen, main problem being, Hogan can't bump. At all. So, obviously, they brawl, Hogan clotheslines Sting out of the ring (because Hogan's too beaten up to fall out himself), TNA forgets ring outs again, they brawl around the ring, they get back into the ring... then what? Hogan can't do the big boot, Hogan can't do the leg drop, Hogan's probably going to have a tough time getting down to do a roll up and, anyway, Hogan's the heel, retiring, and it's the blow off match of the feud, so Sting has to win, BUT, if he does the death drop, Hogan will never walk again, if he does death lock, Hogan will never walk again, if he does the stinger splash, fine, but if he whips Hogan into the corner to set it up, Hogan will never walk again. It's insane, it's going to be absolutely horrible.

 

That's the best case scenario. The absolute best.

 

The other possibility; TNA don't give a f*ck about their wrestlers (see; Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, Kurt Angle, Pacman Jones, the women's paycheques) and Hogan is too insane to know his limits, and has too much power backstage, so they work a full match and Hulk gets severely injured midway through the match and is never seen in a wrestling ring again

[Omega 354]

It is. Watching Hogan try and work a match is going to be sad.

We had this kind of discussion about moment V good sense and this for me is one of those. Velvet Sky has no business what so ever being the champion of any womens division. All the other women generlly have at least one decent personality (Maddison for example) or can work in the ring well (Sarita) or a bit of both (Tara, ODB) but Velvet literally has nothing in the locker. When Angelina Love outshines you utterly as a zombified lesbian slave it's time t give up the pretention you bring anything to the table.

 

But the moment would be nice enough I guess. Then again it's be a great moment if Snitsky had punted a real baby but it's still not a good idea... :P

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

As we've already gone through, I dont think Velvet is bad. Certainly not that bad. And in no way worse than the current women's champion anyway.

 

I dont see the big problem, when giving the (second) most popular girl in the company her first title win on a 'big' stage after working hard for four years (and, by the by, being more of a successful draw than almost anyone else they've ever had), to me that outweighs any "such a terrible 'rassler!" stuff.

[Omega 354]

If that's how you feeel then of course it's fine. Velevet Sky is one of the worst "talents" I've ever seen. She's horrible in the ring, wooden out of it and whilst looking like a blow up sex doll probably does it for the slavering idiots in the impact zone I think she looks disgusting.

 

Hey, It' a moment for sure bu you can say anything is a moment if it comes after long enough. I can't say whether she deserves it because for all I know she's a great lass who has done lots to help TNA blah, blah but I honestly feel that despite how awful Winter is on the mic she's a better champ than velvet because I can at least watch her in the ring without cringing.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Talking to you just makes me think there are two Velvets :P

 

Its just one of those things that we happen to just be completely different pages.

 

And in terms of what she's done for TNA, yeah I think you can sell that. Her and Angelina, along with Kong and Kim of course, were the foundation upon which they created a wildly successful division from scratch, and when those two left TBP carried the women's scene on their own for a good few years. The women in general are the best ratings draws the company has ever had and TBP and Kong are the best of the women.

 

In the context of a division that has only been around for 4 years, her and Angelina are the grizzled veterans who built it with their bare hands. And while Angelina has won the title a bunch of times and been on top, Velvet never had the same chance and in fact has never even had a title shot, which they played up a couple months ago when they teased it. So now for her to finally get that shot at the title that she's never had, after all this time, at their biggest PPV, yeah, thats a nice moment for her and can certainly be sold as that culminating babyface achievement.

 

And Winter, man, she sucks. I want to like her, because she always had the potential, and I desperately want to like the angle and her character, because hey, Time Travelling Lesbian Vampire. Thats MY kind of angle right there. But she's pretty terrible actually, and combined with bad booking and writing, makes it all suck. And I dont find her ring work to make up for it in any way, but I've never been particularly fond of her as a worker.

LOL, just f**king LOL at Earl Hebner missing a blatant low blow to Sting and Mike Tenay saying he missed it because he was in a conversation with Sting.

[Guest Jamster26]

I liked the start of the show and I even more liked the idea of Roode facing each fortune member week after week; that's awesome. And the first match didn't dissapoint. Kaz is awesome in the ring so it was always going to be a brilliant match. Sting / Flair was pretty good. Better than I expected.

 

Oh and I liked what they did with Hardy. Having him try and get the trust back amongst the locker room. What AJ and Devon said...it's weird it's like that's how they actually felt and is TNA's way of trying to, I won't say punish but make Jeff understand what he did. And of course, hopefully he returns as the Hardy we all know he can be.

Yeah but its a hell of a lot more likely he reverts into the other kind of hardy we all know he can be and gets back on the drugs he has too much history of relapse for me to truely believe hes gone clean

[Guest Jamster26]

Well yeah, of course that's a possibility. But I'd like to look on the positive side and hope he comes through it this time, for his own sake.

[Guest Jierda]

I'm normally quite positive but when it comes to the hardys all the recurring incidents over the years have drained almost any hope i had

[Omega 354]

I literally can't watch Impact at the moment. I tried to catch up this weekend and really the mere fact that they really are going ahead with Hogan V Sting and devoting so much time to it just fills me with so much disappointment it ruins any other stuff that might be ok such as Roode's push. The whole facing Fortune thing is stupid though, really pointless and doesn't and won't go anywhere beyond the moist likely outcome of Storm doing something to Roode before BFG. TNA is just a mess at the moment.

[Guest Jamster26]

You'd have to assume then, that Hogan isn't as messed up as we thought he was? I doubt Sting would wrestle Hogan knowing one move could destroy him forever. In that sense, even if it's a light match, Hogan should be ok.

 

I think it's great Roode is getting his chance and I quite liked the idea of him facing fortune every week. Trying to get both get inside Roode's mind and to weaken him for Bound For Glory. Evil mastermind is Angle; muhahaha. :lol

[Omega 354]

Regarding point 1 there is no evidence Hogan is even vaguely ok to wrestle so it's either a) he so full of his own BS that he thinks whatever he can do will be great or b) the match won't really happen for some stupid screwy reason. I want to watch neither.

 

The whole facing fortune things is retarded though. Why doesn't each guy in fortune simply lay down for Roode so as not to spoil his chances at BFG? Surely all these best buddies want to see him do well right?

I mean they even had Daniels refuse to fight him and nothing happened so really all they are syaing is that the rest of Fortune are d*cks.

 

 

It's just stupid.

Because their wrestlers. :) And because Angle said, that who ever beat Roode, would be top of the deck after bound for glory, to face him for the title. :)

 

I doubt Roode (in story mode for a second), would want them to just lay down and as a fan, that would suck really.

I hate it when I miss the point..."_"

 

Anyway, what happened to your weekly TNA blogs, Omega? I enjoyed reading your latest ramblings.

[Omega 354]

Time really, I enjoyed writing them even when TNA started going the way it's going now but real life just kept pushing the deadline back and back and getting the screenshots and editing them was a real killer as it meant I ended up watching impact about 3 times in a row just to get everything for the blog. It may come back though as I really did enjoy the writing aspect of it.
