Total Nonstop Action -

[XYZpdq]

Care to link these dirtsheets?

I'll see if I can dig it up, it was like, they were looking at doing weekend specials for the PPV-type events, maybe open to another show, stuff like that. Nothing amazing but enough that it's slightly less dismal than moving to the ass-end of the cable box would immediately be.

a few seconds on Rajah brings up "Destination America executives were at TNA Headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee recently to discuss ways that TNA can be integrated into their network, as well as other ideas that would benefit both sides."

The ones that mentioned the slightly firmer stuff were through /wooo/, not sure where it was sourced off the top of my head, sorry.

I just don't know how good a fit they'll be on Destination America. I guess we'll have to see.

 

[KatsuKitty]

Hm, so that's what it stands for.

See, Impact Wrestling? This is why I can't go places with you! Everybody just sees that stupid fucking name you have!

It is offical. they announced last week or 2 weeks ago they are moving to Destination America. It is a werid channel to be on but oddly enough, the closer TNA got to being kicked off spike, the better the product got.

I remember when TNA attempted their own ECW angle and Montreal Screwjob. It was cringeworthy.

Pretty much anytime they try to do That Thing Those Other Guys Did it's pretty damn terrible.

Don't tell that to certain TNA marks.

No joke, I've come across wrestling sites where, if the WWE does a storyline that's stupid, TNA marks fall over themselves to criticize it. TNA does the same storyline? It's "OMG, BRILLIANT!"

Gosh, angry fans of a thing having double standards online! Such a unique thing!

Tonight is TNA's first show on Discovery America

 

[XYZpdq]

I'm totally hype for Kong vs Havok. Kong's return was great and I'm glad I avoided the dirtsheets about her backstage.

Then there was the rest of the show.

That bad color balance on the far camera. That bad light reflection on the upper camera. That smoke that wouldn't go away. Old WWE guys talking opening the show and the interesting wrestling a distant afterthought. That CMLL-meets-ROH production feel. That ending.

lolTNA

I just read the recap of the show

Just......what? So.....many.....heel turns.....

Dammit TNA!

 

[Chuggernaut]

To quote Bryan and Vinny, "it's just a million bullshit angles being hotshotted." But remember, all of TNA's problems were because Spike didn't support them*!

*Unless you count paying into the contracts for main eventers like Angle**
**Or claiming "negotiations for renewal" were still ongoing so that TNA could have a better bargaining position

 

[CornetteFace]

The Destination America debut was garbage.

And the spoilers for the tapings just look like the same old TNA.
