Jimmy Redman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 So it just occurred to me that this is on now, so I'm watching. Mainly because Bully/Sabin intrigues me as a match. So wow. Petey and Sonjay are completely unrecognisable. Could not have picked them out of a lineup. What generic goofs. American ads are hilariously OTT. And I now really want a Double Steak Quesadilla.

Jimmy Redman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Magnus...*sigh* If the Mafia came out to fight, why are they in suits? It was great that Rampage's first physicality in TNA was backstage in a room where the cameras couldn't see it. And now they've kidnapped Kurt Angle. I see. I'm not trying to be snarky, by the way, although it must appear so. I'm just commentating to pass the time here, and nothing particularly interesting is happening.

Maxximus Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm watching too. It's all in one eye out the other. Nothing is sticking. Now I want a Double Steak Quesadilla too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 TRENT?! TRENT! F*ck him being stuck in the sh*tty X Division, but I cannot begrudge Trent Barreta landing a full-time gig in wrestling. Dude is legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 HARDCORE COUNTRY! Cut to commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Redman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mickie rating the ladder match a solid **1/2 was hilarious. So glad Mickie is getting a chance to cut loose after so long. Still, as good as Mickie is right now, the absolute best thing would be Gail taking the title to drop to Taryn at BFG. Alright, match time.

Jimmy Redman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well...OK. First of all, the first few minutes of that match RULED. If there's one thing Bully can nail, it is the Bully Ray vs Plucky Underdog match. LOVED the opening. Everything after that was kind of weird though. Aces out, then the Mafia comes out, including a Kurt Angle who JUST ESCAPED BEING KIDNAPPED, and they...do nothing? Having them all stand 6 feet away from each other the whole match and not fight looked absurd. The match itself descended into an extended squash that plodded on and that Bully took far too much of. Should have realised that he was losing at that point because they made Sabin look really weak here, selling and selling FOREVER and then hitting one lucky cheap shot to win what has recently been a pretty protected World Title. I'm happy for Sabin but I did not like how this went down at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Aces and Sixes suck. The Main Event Mafia sucks. One good thing about this show was no Taz on commentary. Hope Sabin gets a good run and maybe a feud with Aries or someone else really good. Hail Sabin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is legit. Trent? and Rockstar Spud are the future of the X-Division? Well f*ck, now I've got to start watching again. At least the X-Division stuff and Sabin as champ anyways. Damnit TNA.

Jimmy Redman Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 didn't sabin give up the belt? He meant it as two separate points. The X Division, and Sabin as (world) champ. If that's what you meant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can bring myself to look at that f*ckin' horrible X-Division belt, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
