10. There have to be a few theories on why Kurt Angle was up against Abyss right before Bound For Glory. They could be setting up for him to lose at the PPV by making sure he's injured heading into it. Or they're sending him in injured so when it wins it's a bigger deal. Should be interesting to see »»
10. Apparently when a woman is in trouble in the ring, the first port of call isn't wrestlers coming to save her, it's her husband. She might have been better off if the wrestlers had appeared first. 9. Tazz's recap of what happened in the opening segment also made it sound crazy. Glad to know »»
10. So, doing a PPV style show in a free to air timeslot is nothing short of genius. Good change in pace. 9. Interesting to see AJ Styles turn up with a huge new tattoo. Very unexpected, but the meaning of it is lovely. 8. Kurt Angle wasn't going to lose that one. It's unfortunate that he »»
10. Abyss scaring those kids was very amusing. Welcome to TNA kiddies, we aren't PG and we aren't concerned. 9. It's starting to get annoying that Jesse Neal is constantly being screwed over, and the storyline seems to be stuck and going nowhere. 8. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles really deserve a »»
10. Well, first things first, TNA stripping The Band of the tag titles is possibly the smartest thing they have done in a LONG time. Plus setting up the tournament is a good way to give tag team wrestling a bit of time in the spotlight. 9. It's pretty wonderful to see wrestling in the first few »»
10. So, Bischoff doesn't have the authority to book a four way match, but he has the authority to come storming out from the back and apparently book a tag match. Something doesn't quite add up there. 9. The Knockouts used to be the must watch segment on each Impact. "Used to" being the key wor »»
So, another week of TNA. Not their strongest episode, but not their worst either.... 10. So, the top 10 lineup was nothing too unexpected, but the actual order they went with seemed a little odd. There were a couple of names in there who I would have expected to see closer to #1. Samoa Joe i »»
Okay, so call me crazy, but somehow TNA seems to be doing a better show at the moment. Maybe it's because they seem to be focusing less on the members of the roster who really aren't the true stars anymore. The wrestling also seems to be more of a focus too, which is never a bad thing on a wrestling »»
We're back for another week of Vintage Collection, and I'm going to skip the pleasantries and get straight into the action because it was top notch this week. Our first match here is a women's match from October 18th, 1994. And it's between Alundra Blayze and Bull Nakano. We come in and Nakano is »»
Alright. We're back with another week of Vintage Collection. Have to apologize for these being rather un-regular at the moment. Life is getting in the way of wrestling. But I'm going to try and work things out so I can at least set aside enough time each week to do this recap. Okay, coming stra »»
So, we're back for another week and we're still looking back over previous WrestleMania events. This week it's going to be highlights from WrestleMania 13, 14 and 15. Okay. we come in and we're starting at WrestleMania XIV with a match for the Light Heavyweight Championship between Taka Michin »»
Okay, coming into this I have to say that it's interesting that TNA are competing with WWE by moving to Monday nights. But only for people in the US apparently. TNA is still airing in Australia on the following Saturday night. I could go on, but it's unfortunate that their fans elsewhere in the worl »»
Well, we're into the countdown until we see TNA go head to head up against WWE on a Monday night. So I'm bringing you the last 10 thoughts that will be coming from the Thursday night episodes. 10. It's fun watching Bischoff openly mock Vince, "only a moron would try something like that". It is tr »»
So, we're back with another week of Impact, and I'm just going to jump straight into things. 10. That's cute, bringing Abyss out to that music. 9. Well, I'm thrilled with any episodes of Impact that have 0 Nasty Boys minutes within them. Unfortunately this episode let me down. 8. Can' »»
Brief apology for how late these are going up online in terms of when the show airs. It's tricky because Impact airs in the US quite a few days before Australia actually get it. And at the moment, study means I'm not watching it when it airs. So it takes a few days longer than it all should. But, I »»
10. The recap of the "drama" in TNA really only made me go, "oh I'd forgotten that". Because it seems that 90% of TNA seems to be forgettable these days. Which is unfortunate for those of us who actually want to be able to like TNA. 9. The lights going off used to signify Suicide, apparently no »»
On Vintage this week we'll be looking back at matches from Superstars from various generations of families. Our first match is between Ivan Putski & Scott Putski and Jerry "The King" Lawler & Brian Christopher. From July 14, 1997. We get straight into things as Lawler & Christopher i »»
10. Well, at least Mick Foley isn't totally gone yet. After their removal of JB it felt like Foley would be the next one to disappear off TV. 9. Really not enjoying Desmond Wolfe having pointless arm candy. He is more than capable of wrestling great matches every single time, and doesn't need a »»
Before we begin, I just wanted to apologize for the lack of a recap last week. The pay-TV connection in my area went out for an entire day, and it happened on Sunday, when Vintage airs. But, into the action for this week. And we're starting off with Bret Hart cutting a promo against Diesel, and »»
Okay, i have to admit that this week's Impact was a tough one to watch. Mostly because it wasn't all that enjoyable. So I do apologize if this all sounds a bit angry and frustrated. If I could have, I would have literally just written "I hate Hogan & Bischoff" in 10 different ways. 10. Appa »»
10. Yeah, security armed with steel chairs are totally more intimidating and scary than a man holding a piece of wood covered in nails. Only in wrestling. 9. Watching Pope tearing into Eric was good value, have to wonder how many of the wrestlers were wishing they'd had that opportunity. »»
10. So, TNA can have blood, weapons, etc. But Jeff Hardy's buttcrack is apparently something that needs to be blurred out. Something doesn't quite add up there. 9. Not sure what was with the excess of pre-taped promo packages that seemed to be on after most of the ad breaks. Are TNA struggling »»
10. Nice even match from Styles and Kazarian. Both are people to watch within the company. 9. Even though we didn't see The Beautiful People wrestle, the teenage boys still got their fix of inappropriate ring entrances. Wonderful. (Or not). 8. Horribly short Knockouts match, and honestly »»
10. One thing TNA have been consistently getting right at the moment is cutting back on excessive talking before we get into the wrestling. Which is nice considering it's a wrestling show! 9. Madison Rayne is looking more and more like a Velvet Sky clone each week. She pulled off that backstage »»
10. Jay Lethal actually pulling off a pretty entertaining Flair impersonation was amusing, he seems to have come leaps and bounds in the last few months in terms of character and promo ability. 9. Nice change in pace having an X Division match that had a bit of a different feel to it, and didn' »»
10. Really not sold on this new Mr Anderson character, mostly because the only word he really seemed to say was "asshole". Over and over and over. Really not necessary, we get that you're a bad guy. But TNA, do you really want any parents who have kids watching switching off? Because they will. 9 »»
Well, TNA are officially back on Thursday nights. Can't say I'm disappointed. Mostly because through the Monday night shows, Impact still aired on Saturday nights here. So now there is less time in between it airing live in America, and airing here. Also apologies for missing last weeks Impact, lots »»
So, another week of TNA has been and gone. Which means that the US will have a new episode soon, and I'll have access to recaps and spoilers to get me through until Saturday to see the aftermath of Lockdown. And I'm just going to jump straight into things. 10. You have to love that all it takes f »»
Well, another week of TNA, and a week where the product was slightly easier to watch. If I'd done 10 thoughts on the actual wrestling and matches, this would be pretty positive. But it's not as much fun to write. So, onto this week's thoughts. 10. So, Lacey von Erich WANTS to "parade around i »»
Okay, well due to WrestleMania being last monday in Australia, I didn't get a chance to watch the 3/22 episode until well after the 3/29 episode had aired in the US. So i decided to wait and post both 10 thoughts for the seperate episodes in the one post. So, we'll start off with the 10 thoughts »»
10. Can someone let Flair know that even though you're allowed to bleed on TV, you do not HAVE to bleed on TV. 9. Have to say Jeff Hardy's TNA music really doesn't have the pop that theme music should. But it's individual and that's his thing. 8. I'm holding back from unloading on the »»
And we're back for another week of Vintage Collection on our WrestleMania roadtrip. Firstly we're going back to WrestleMania IX to look at Doink the Clown vs. Crush. We come in and the match is already going, Doink climbs up high, goes to jump off and Crush lifts his foot to knock Doink down. B »»
Wow, it's been a while. I have to apologize, life has been insane. So, straight into Vintage Collection, and we're going on a look back through WrestleMania events. The first match is between Mr Perfect and The Blue Blazer at WrestleMania V (WM5) (April 2, 1989). We come in, the two men lock »»
Well, we're back with another week of TNA, and honestly, this weeks episode was somehow easier to watch than previous weeks have been. Apologies for the lateness of getting this up and out there, but life has been busy! Enjoy this week's 10 thoughts. 10. Pope getting the title shot is brilliant. »»
10. It always ends well when Santino gets a mic and the world is forced to listen to that horrible Italian accent. (I only comment on it because someone overheard me watching Santino on SS and came closer to point and laugh at him. See, he's even funny to people who don't watch wrestling). 9. I »»
10. I love that we've started the countdown to WrestleMania with a "days to" count already. 9. I'm not against Alicia Fox, but I am against whoever made that horrific yellow-green outfit that she keeps wearing. Does she not look at herself before she walks out to a match? 8. Not sure »»
This week we're looking at the 1996 Royal Rumble match and we'll just get straight into it! The first man to walk to the ring here is Hunter Hearst Helmsley and the second entrant is Henry Godwinn, and we get into things straight away. The two men exchange punches and Hunter takes control but a »»
10. There are at least a couple of much better Raw divas to use as options for Superstars. I have to admit that I am getting sick of seeing Jillian wrestle on Superstars as often as she has been. 9. The Bella's pulled out some flashy moves, and honestly, i was expecting a lot worse from them. »»
10. Whoever keeps booking Jillian to sing before she wrestles needs to be stopped. Or tortured until they stop. 9. I have never been happier to hear Kelly Kelly's music hit. Normally it doesn't elicit a smile, but it definitely did this time around. 8. It was a very slow paced Divas match »»
10. No singing from Jillian for once, and my ears are thanking her for that. 9. Putting Primo & Chavo in a match together actually worked well, they pulled off a half decent match. (Well, in the parts they were in of course). 8. Good finish to the mixed tag match, having Gail assist to »»
