So im watching tonights TNA

what is the story with Joey Ryan?

He was turned down in the gutcheck months ago and got in Taz' face about it and has been running with a storyline that he deserves to be on the main roster.

I know that but I want to know has TNA signed him or not? I find it strange that he's able to get thru security and Al Snow of all people come out to confront him....

Ah yeah I reckon he is signed but its Tna so you never know whether he is under contract or not.

They'd hardly allow something like that to happen. Surely it's kayfabe guys.....?

Its tna you expect them to have guys under contract when doing these angles but is the likes of Sonjay Dutt for instance under contract, doubt it. Alex Silva is under contract for a few months but where is he now?

Stereomaniac

As I said before (which led to me greatly offending the Machismo Man), I only scan through what's going on with TNA on here. So I find that fascinating that they that sorta thing.

Just that I asked you to explain your opinion on a discussion forum doesn't mean I was offended in the slightest (even if I thought your assessment of TNA was completely off the mark).

Speaking of the Gutcheck, where have they all ended up so far? Like the only one who appears onscreen is the one who wasn't successful.

Hendrix is the new OVW Women's Champion. Shaw was just signed and Silva is apparently having trouble getting a permanent visa.

GTR63

Are these gutcheck guys being signed for cheap labour I doubt that many companies out there were interested in signing any one of them.

did anyone see the ad for the years wrestlemania dvd release during the show on challenge tv?


Was I the only one that instantly thought of Ciano316??

I was thinking £20 is a bit steep for a dvd that isn't a boxset.

Okay let's not get into this again, but I was a little bit intimidated by your tone.

First episode of impact I have watched in years, very enjoyable, but Chavo aint no legend.

Charisteas

I would certainly class Chavo as being a cruiserweight legend, the guy has been putting on decent matches for 15 years in every company he's been in. He's rode through some bad booking (Kerwin White, feud with Hornswaggle, losing ECW title in 8 seconds at WM) but when they just let him wrestle, he was one of the best light heavyweight guys around.

In his 40's now so maybe he's on board as more of a part-time wrestler/trainer to the Ions/Sorensens/Silvas of the roster.

Machismo Fan

Set for iMPACT! this week is Angle vs. Storm in a BFG Series match, Roode and Ion vs. Aries and King, and Kim vs. Tara vs. Mickie James vs. Madison Rayne for No. 1 Contendership.

gnfnrhead

What do people make of Madison getting the win last week? Sure as hell looked like Mickie kicked out while Madison didn't. Assuming that's what they are going for, surely Madison is winning the four way?

Also, I'm fairly sure they did this exact storyline before with Madison sucking up to Hebner in matches.

Machismo Fan

They've done it as a spot in a match a couple of times but never really as a proper angle.

chopperbyrne

Chavo is a very good wrestler, but not much of a talker when he wasn't with Eddie.

Having him working with up and coming cruiserweights is the perfect use for him. Wouldn't be surprised if they used him as a road agent to help piece together matches too.

Saw him on a few of the SD shows in Dublin and his matches were almost always the best of the night, especially when he worked with Benoit.

Machismo Fan

Chavo will make his in ring debut this week aswell.

GTR63

First of all where the hell was Joseph Park on the show?
Enjoyed the BFG Series matches as always and a lot less Claire Lynch helped(she pulled the same angry face at ringside that I make when I see her on my telly). Still hate the Aces & 98's ruining matches we should at least have a clue as to why they are turning up by now surely.

Is he suppose to be part of Ace and Eights a mole inside TNA

Machismo Fan

- IMPACT will feature three big "Bound For Glory Series" matches as a preview to the specialty bouts that will take place at the Pay-Per-View! This Thursday, "Cowboy" James Storm will face Bully Ray, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles takes on Kurt Angle and Rob Van Dam will be in action against "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero!




- This past week, The Aces & 8s gang once again unleashed chaos on IMPACT WRESTLING, and the accusations flew as Sting, Kurt Angle and Bobby Roode questioned whether James Storm is behind the gang! Will we get any answers this Thursday on SpikeTV - or just more questions? Is Brooke Hogan next on their hit list? Will Sting find a way to stop them?

- Also, Thursday's broadcast will feature the final confrontation between World Heavyweight Champion Austin Aries and Bobby Roode before their main event match at the "Hardcore Justice" event!

Thats exactly what i thought

jaykhunter

I just wanna point out that this Aces & Eights "unknown assailant" schtick has been done already - TWO YEARS AGO in TNA. People were laid out in the back with the ace card on them, it lasted maybe a month or so and nothing came of it. Here's a screengrab from the May 27th 2010 iMPACT, Shannon Moore was laid out backstage. These mystery men angles never turn out well! Whether it's a higher power, Russo in TNA, Joe being kidnapped again or DDP's limp WWF debut!

gnfnrhead

And I've seen people complain that they didnt leave long enough between attacks. Seems long enough to me :pac:

Aces and 8's driving a hearse for Taker at Mania only to reappear in about a decade to stalk his wife now that'd be a swerve.
Watching impact at the minute, love Bully Ray tawking bout da twittah machine.

jaykhunter

Kaz & Daniels were absolute gold this episode. Really great stuff. It's a shame we had nails-on-chalkboard Claire Lynch. She has to be somebody's girlfriend/wife to have landed this gig. She's SO awful!
