[10/14] Impact Wrestling: Bound For Glory Thread
- Thread starter mrken12
- Start date
I like Aries but he really has no real spot in Impact at the moment since he isn't champion.
He can off to the the indie circuit and in a year or so come back when everything has smoothed over.
If it's a work they are going full tilt with it it seems
If this is a shoot, Aries may have killed his career for good.
If this is a work, you may have killed your biggest show of the year and your new champion, John Morrison, for nothing.
Either way, it looks bad.

More on the A Double shyt during the next set of Impact Tapings.
"New World champ Johnny Impact cut a babyface promo about betting on yourself and achieving your dreams, vowing to be a figting champ. He referenced the Aries walkout with naming him, saying the end of BFG was crazy and unpredictable, and that’s what attracted him to wrestling as a kid. Fenix came out to congratulate his friend, mentioning he’s never won the Impact title and asking for a shot “next week”. Impact says yes, and references their friendship, but says it won’t stop them from beating the crap out of each other. He also says that if it isn’t his night and he loses the belt to Fenix, he’ll raise his arm like a professional and not pitch a fit and run away like the last guy."
Them not mentioning Aries by name and him getting buried off jump fits with TNA's MO when a talent leaves on bad terms, but still.

It's a work. John & Taya were both on TMZ TV doing an interview for this angle about the tweets. Plus they had some big brawl at the BFG press conference were things got "personal" and Aries went off on Impact management. They're just playing off Aries being known as a miserable dikkhead who decided to go "off script", and it's working because people are talking about Impact. Russo probably jerking off to this angle as we speak.
Personally, I don't think it's killed anything. Hennigan is a journeyman wrestler these days, and Impact is small-time with very little credibility or value. There's really no legacy or tradition to uphold, IMO.

I disagree, TNA has had more momentum this year than they've had in the past 10. Yeah it's small time and has little credibility, but it was starting to get something some buzz again for the first time in a long time, with lots of talk about how this isn't like the TNA of old, way different management etc...pulling this kind of Russo bullshyt sets them back when they really can't afford to go back any farther. TNA gonna TNA.

just watched it finally.
this chit is HARD.
this is how I know most of the current TSC is dweebs. there should be spinoff threads all over the 1st page.
king rockin the motaw jersey from ABOVE THE RIM.
what thread?
I need in on that.
they just had a classic brutal rivalry with OVE.
i'd rather they continue this feud, but if not, they can put them against moose/killer kross. or better yet, LAX versus the lucha brothers is a dream match.
best part was that old white dude clapping during the bodega bamz performance.

This shyt feels like a late 90s hip hop concert

whats crazy is theyre doing everything that these bozos want the WWE to do.
but they refuse to watch because the WWE logo isn't on the screen.

On the other hand WWE is by far the easiest shyt to watch: They're on a channel everyone with cable gets (and next year they'll be OTA so everyone can get it anywhere), they have the Network that's cheap and easy to get for free that has an app for every possible product you're using to watch streams on, they have endless content every week so there is always a bunch of shyt to watch. They basically hit you with the Netflix approach of flooding you with so much content there's bound to be something you like and even if you don't you'll watch it because it's convenient.
Meanwhile, Impact changes channel (high cable networks that have terrible penetration at that) or time every 4 months, is constantly having to drop storylines because of talent bailing, and generally until the past 6 months has had nothing going on for years, has a janky streaming service that barely even works on PC let alone your phone or TV and doesn't have a fraction of what WWE offers for their service while charging for actual PPVs still.
If you want to follow indies, be prepared to spend way more and wait way longer. You want ROH? Have fun paying for $30 PPVs like it's 1998 again. Maybe your local Sinclair affiliate carries it at random times, maybe it doesn't. NJPW? You can wait for months long tape delayed shows with dubbed commentary and a live show from time to time on AXS if you get it, or you can sub to a Japanese streaming service that is pretty janky and doesn't work on most things you use to stream video on.
WWE takes the least amount of effort to follow and has the highest production, so people are going to watch it even when it's trash if they like pro wrestling.

but this isn't new.
brainwashed fans no-sold TNA, even when they were on spike.
this is the reason why other promotions cant get good timeslots on networks, and the reason why investors are hesitant to deal with this business.
so-called wrestling fans are to blame for all of this.
No they arent. Wwe is the entire industry to most of the world. And they have been since 1998. They are effectively the NFL or NBA or Disney. They opperate at a level that dwarves the rest of the industry combined.
That's because Wwe is operated like an actual business with actual business people who run a public company instead of a series of money marks with no experience.
