It wasn't bad for a 49 year old.
Still my favorite
I feel like the match could be semi-decent if they keep it brutal but short.

Macho King looking like the land of the rising sun at ss 90.
Vince must have thought highly of Rob Conway in 2005.

Just look at him. Isn't he a sight to see? The whole damned world wants to look like him. But they don't!

I actually quite like Rusev. I look forward to his matches on the card.
I like the people who obliterate others. The monsters. When he goes full berserker he's a joy to watch.

Rusev is the best wrestler on RAW.
It feels like he just stepped out of 80's NWA. Need more guys like him.

Couple things:
1. How was the 1st Raw of Flipvember?
2. TNA just lost their big UK international TV deal. Impact goes from Challenge in January.

I have to disagree because Charlotte is on RAW but I completely agree he's right up there.
This is the beginning my friends. The beginning of the end.
Welp! UK was TNA's hottest market too until that faded away.

I learnt pretty quickly not to wear my ring to wrestling shows until I learn how to clap without bruising my palm with it

It's also worth noting, Impact Wrestling is still Challenges highest-rated programme: the episode broadcast on October 23 drew 164,000 viewers.
Either they decided it wasn't worth the money, which there's been no indication of prior, or some contract was breached. Possibly similar deal to their one in India where they're obligated to tour?

Except for when they always make him out to be an 80s villian
Perhaps that's why I like him so much. He's so clearly 80s wrestling heal it's great

Could also just be they're sick of all the negative press around TNA.

Vince's flow chart wins again
Born near Russia
Non-American Accent
Big enough to dominate people
Have him carry out a Russian flag and use some dark and moody Russian sounding music. Give him a Russian sounding Valet.
Make him win the US title
Can you imagine the heat?
Giving up your most successful TV deal because spoilers TNA.txt

on the one hand it's true
on the other hand if the reason was the real one they'd already have a deal lined up lol
I believe the (in jeopardy) India deal is worth more then ours.

TNA gonna be uploading impact to YouTube soon aren't they?

True, but the UK one has provided a solid, hot touring market for years to TNA. The India deal might be keeping them afloat for now I guess.

I mean fuck YouTube comments
Imagine if anybody at TNA had any sort of finger on the pulse they could have rode the BritWres wave back to some sort of relevance. I mean last month we had a weekend with two independent shows drawing 6k+ people. In Ireland we just had a promotion run a triple shot of sold out shows for nearly 2k people. TNA with TV could easily get those numbers for a solid tour around the shop with the right names.
TNA being a meeting place for the US indies and BritWres plus big names like Lashley and the Hardys would be sweet. Instead they still have their hardon for ex WWE guys, including total no name PC castoffs with Will O'Spreay and Mandrews having 10 minute Xplosion matches.
Or they coulda just hired Riddle and ran Riddle vs Lashley. Or Cobb vs Lashley. Unnff.

To be fair - who the hell even makes those comments?
They are never intelligent and always someone just randomly cussing someone else out haha

I'm predicting (plus what's known) the teams
Mens 5v5
Team RAW: Reigns, KO, Jericho, Strowman and (someone not in that Battle Royal because they were eliminated by Braun) I'll guess Rollins or maybe even Rusev, or an NXT call-up (I doubt they're that smart)
Team SD: Ambrose, Styles, Wyatt, Ziggler, and either Corbin, Curt Hawkins (please no) or James Ellsworth (even though he's not signed to a contract that I know of) or maybe even Miz who knows
Women's 5v5
Raw: Bayley, Nia Jax, Charlotte, maybe Dana Brooke and Sasha Banks.. They should call Asuka up lol or have Lana throw some tights on lol
SD: Nikki, Bliss, Lynch, Naomi and Carmella (such a small woman's roster on both sides)
Tag 5v5
Raw: New Day, Cesaro and Sheamus, the Club, Golden Truth, Primo and Epico
SD: Rhyno Slater, Ryder Rawley, American Alpha, Usos, and either Konnor Victor or the mustache guys lol
Brock vs Goldberg (I hope Shane interferes and gets revenge on Brock-cuz I believe that was the original storyline anyway when he was F5'ed-causing Goldberg to get disqualified, meaning he loses but doesn't get pinned in front of his wife and kid)
That's just "4" matches though. They'll probably throw a Kane vs who cares match in the mix, or actually include him in team SD lol

They have enough cruiserweights for a 5 vs 5 team TJP vs team Kendrick match, I hope they do one.
I just watched Riddle vs O'Reilly on BOLA night 2.
He's so different to everyone else. tna and wwf are crazy not to sign him, even if they're afraid he's going to be the next rvd (potwise)
Cobb's awesome too, though I'm not sure what his LU contract is like.

That would be dope. But the way they've been treating the division they might as well do a Kane vs CWC squash match.
I'd love Samoa Joe, Nakamura or even Gargano up to the main roster already. Same with Roode, Aries but who knows how long they'll wait for that.

Is Ibushi's hypothesis, "Is it cool to dive off from high places and land directly on my neck? Corollary: will anyone notice if I put on this really slipshod Tiger Mask mask and wrestle on a preshow match?"

Fucking ICW, at least they know exactly what they are I suppose.
Is that the main event?
All the notes come from https://twitter.com/reasonjp who translates interviews with Japanese wrestlers from a variety of sources (gong, njpwworld, Tokyo Sports etc.) He translates them on his iPhone and screenshots the translation, then tweets it out.

I think the main is Trent Seven vs Wolfgang for the title in a cage.
Rest of the card from memory:
Davey Boy vs Joe Hendry (If Hendry loses, he's gone for a year, so I assume he's off to ROH)
Carmel vs Viper vs KLR for Women's Title
Lewis Girvan vs Ricochet
Joe Coffey vs Kurt Angle
Polo Promotions vs The Dudleyz for Tag Title
Ladder clusterfuck with Lionheart for Zero-G Title
I'll still be signing up for a month of ICW OD to watch (and the Jimmy Havoc deathmatch tournament)
that sounds counter productive, tell him to get a computer
I always scroll right past those posts. >_>
