Wrestling Thread July 15 - Aug 4 | 8/2 TNA - Where MMA Fighters Not Named Brock Go - TITO, Rampage,

[grizzly hebert]

Sigh.

To whoever it was that asked why TNA is failing earlier.....

There you go.

Funny seeing Tito out there. When he was on the Stone Cold podcast he was discussing if he would ever wrestle. 

 

[Peep Game]

I've always hated Tito Ortiz. I thought Forrest Griffin put him out his misery. Thanks TNA.

These awkwards stares in the ring like "Are the cameras still rolling? *makes mean face*

 

[jdcurt2]

Damn, it was Tito. I thought in the video they said they didn't work for Spike TV.

Another waste of Panda Energy money.

 

[halftime]

I'm crying of laughter.

Tenays delayed reaction, the dead crowd and everyones fake shock summarized everything about TNA.

 

[Case]

The look of forced "confusion" on the face of Mr. Andersen was pure comedy..

 

[T0INE]

ZOMG! It's Tito.

@ the "reactions" from A&8 and MEM.

 

[Peep Game]

Somebody cue the Batman The Animated Series gif, cause that's basically the reaction when Tito came out

 

[illoquent aka dsk]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH TNA 

I tune in once a year and it always reminds me why I should keep it at that schedule. Started watching from Aries vs. Styles match and it all went to **** with that AWFUL finish.

The last 45 seconds of back and forth camera switches needs to be put on Youtube NOW.

I'm crying of laughter.

Tenays delayed reaction, the dead crowd and everyones fake shock summarized everything about TNA.

REAL TEARS.

Don't forget Tito holding that tough guy pose the entire time.

What a **** show.

Two-Face always gets me in that gif.

What an awful end to a really good match..

So bad.  Completely killed a good match for me.  Not only was it a dumb finish, but they didn't even pull it off right.  Aries had to place Styles' hand on him.

I was really hoping they would both kick out right before 3 and the match would keep going.

Other thing that bothered me was tonight was like the old TNA.  Match ended and it was STRAIGHT TO THE BACK.  They did this after the AA/Styles match and the Kim beatdown of ODB.

 

[4wrestling]

This feels so forced and anticlimactic

Sums it up pretty much.

And Tito's neck/back is SHOT.  He's had fusion surgery (same thing Hogan has had, though not nearly as bad).  There is no way Tito will ever wrestle a real match.  He can't take bumps.

 

[imasoleman18]

i liked the music :/

 

[4wrestling]

And how exactly did Mike Tenay know that TIto was the August1Warning?

 

[killabapi]

Impact sucked

Crowd didn't care about Tito

Facial expressions of everyone in the ring and out looked dumb

The finish to the Aries/Aj match was stupid. I rewinded to see if maybe someone got hurt.

 

[4wrestling]

I know you guys don't watch Bellator, but they did this EXACT thing last night to announce the Rampage v Tito match.

 

[killabapi]

If you're bored look at Dixie's mentions on twitter

 

[3dgarfly23]

Yo just seen that Mick Foley documentary on Netflix ............................... it was

 

[robpzee612]

Dang, out of the 8 years that HBK had after that, he only had one world title and it lasted one month 

It's cool, he didn't want the title nor did he need it. He was just riding along with his legend status, having good feuds and putting people over. It was a beautiful run.

When he retired in 98 he was already one of the best ever and that second run when he came back really put him over the top as GOAT

HBK deserved at least 2 more world title during his final run.Unlike HHH,he did put guys over.

 

[B Sox]

Watched Total Divas tonight. Not a good show by any means, but I'll probably watch to see DB and others. Feel pretty bad for Natalya. Quite the raw deal.

I didn't know Tito had fusion surgery..I've had that surgery on L4/L5 and it is crazy painful..Any person willing to take any sort of risk/bump after having that surgery must be super hard up for cash..

TNA this company is a joke. I want them to succeed as alternative product, but they can't get their act together. Nothing can save it at this point. They had so much momentum before they signed Hogan and Bischoff. I remember those 4star matches from Angle and Styles from 3 years ago. Spike should just let them go and put the best wrestling today, New Japan, in its place, in some American format. 

Speaking of New Japan, G1 Climax started today. I wished WWE would do something similar, so many guys would be made from that tournament format and they will fill so much tv time with story lines based on in ring wrestling wins/loses.
