TNA Impact Wrestling Thread: Rob Terry version 4.0

[clayholio]

This is the thread for all the discussion about TNA Impact, as seen on Spike TV on Thursday nights (and on PPV quarterly).

First topic for discussion: what's your favorite Rob Terry gimmick?

1. Random British Brute
2. Object of Orlando Jordan's Affection
3. Tight Sweater Enthusiast
4. Pulp Fiction Gimp

I'll go with Sweater Enthusiast, just because there were so many colors. SO MANY COLORS, bro.

A new TNA thread should have the best ring entrance TNA has to offer

[Jadis]

As for topic at hand, I'll say option #1.

He was rather awful there but at least he was associated with cool dudes like Douglas Williams and Magnus.

grape, of all da blondies gifs out there you had to pick the one that reminds us that billy gun was a member??

yeah it's gotta be the tight sweatered doorman.

Good sleuthing! Now that you mention it, I remember it, but I try to forget about him as much as possible. Although if he's going with a Pulp Fiction Gimp gimmick, I'll at least give the look-see.

The match was alright. I got mad when Roode kicked out of the piledriver, though, and that took me completely out of the match. If you've got a move that's basically been off of TV (except for Bully Ray, and even then only occasionally, and even then only when he was trying to be a mega heel by piledriving people on the concrete) since forever, and all of a sudden everyone's kicking out of EY's version of it, it does the opposite of establish him as a credible wrestler. They might be consistent with it, but it's like being consistent in being an awful chef. I just didn't think the match got to a level where you could justify it. If you're going to do piledrivers, that should be game over.



Hey, I threw the TNA stuff in here because no one else had started a thread. But I'll start a TNA thread right now. I'm not afraid to do it.

i actually thought it was better than the PPV match with magnus, EY's selling(legwork) left much to be desired.

to be fair roode isn't everyone, he is a top guy on the roster. **** he's more credible than EY himself, and also they didn't act like it was no big deal either. now if robbie kicks out of it that's another story, the way it went down i don't mind bobby being in the same able-to-kick-out-of-a-piledriver company as magnus. to be honest i don't even mind the piledriver being used to set up the elbow, it's kind of a cool combo.

impact was cool this week, started kind of slow again but picked well enough.

i missed the 1st 5-6 minutes, gunner vs mr butthole did a good job of transitioning james storm from gunner to butthole.

so i did some searching on magdaddy's old buddy bram and he's an NXT wash out and former original member of the ascension that went by the name kenneth cameron. he really should shave the beard though.

EC3 & spud were amusing

roode vs gunner was short but sweet, roode had the advantage and won so nobody looks weak, but still considering the stuff we've seen gunner endure in his matches with storm he did seem to go down kind of easy here.

i'm not real into the epic bully vs dix feud. really not a fan of bully as a face.

i liked storm vs willow, i think storm needs another finisher to add his moveset. i'm enjoying storm more now than i have in years even if he's just losing most of the time.

dudebros vs wolves+sanada was fun and had some cool spots

roode vs EY was a good title defense for EY, roode can still claim it wasn't fair he had to wrestle twice in one night. i wouldn't mind seeing roode vs gunner for the title down the line.

[clayholio]

News! Sort of. There are reports that Low-Ki is about to sign a full-time contract to wrestle and be an agent for the X-Division. I like that, even though I feel like he won't last any longer this time around than he did before. I hope I'm wrong, and that the added responsibility sits well with him.

As for topic at hand, I'll say option #1.

He was Roman Reigns before Roman Reigns!

Storm is definitely a lot better now. I'm finally getting over my intense dislike for his drunk cowboy act and starting to enjoy what he's doing again.

It's funny, Bully Ray seems to work just as well as a face, but at the same time, because of how nasty he is as a heel, the face act seems like such a put-on. Plus, he clearly enjoys pissing people off more than just about anything else in life.

If those reports are true, it indicates he burned more bridges than originally thought.

I was the original person to make that gif.

That probably would be just about the most useful combonation of upper card stars match TNA can put together at the moment.

He was Roman Reigns before Roman Reigns!

Roman not cool? Face Roman Reigns is what Thomas Magnum might have been if he had been a wrestler. (Magnum TA is just a little too blatant a ripoff.)
