IMPACT Results For 11/1/12

who alls in this aces and 8s group?

 

that looks like a crapty impact card

 

There's a funny reason for that. It's because it is!

 

the show was used to advance a bunch of storylines and set up turning point.

Isaiah Cash(Luke Gallows) was unmasked in the brawl at the end of the show and put Joseph Parks through a table.

Hogan set up a Triple threat #1 contenders match at Turning Point where the man who gets pinned will not get a title shot will BFG next year the match is AJ Styles vs Bobby Roode vs James Storm.

At the end of the Hardy match they set up Hardy vs Aries in a Ladder Match.

After Magnus hit Samoa Joe with a wrench for the DQ. Samoa Joe did a promo and announced that at Turning Point him vs Magnus in a No DQ match.

The impact show was quite a bit better then what that short lil results thing showed.

 

I'm glad he put that because I wouldn't have clicked on the link.

 

I do still find it funny however that Bischoff is doing the nWo angle almost spot on but this time he has NO STARS to make it in any way interesting. Cool idea though.

 

They needed to make Aces and Eights stronger so the reveals would be more shocking..............Almost every fight TNA stars take it to Aces and Eights then Aces and Eights have 1 lil moment but they just look really weak...........Its a great idea and can still be somewhat saved but they have to give them some star power........Aces and Eights needs to have Champion holders in their stable...........They need to actually win a big brawl not just have everyone scattered or running away TNA stars need to hit the ring and then Aces and Eights cleans them out and leaves the impact roster on the outside of the ring and them on the inside as Impact goes off the air.

 

They need to speed this storyline up because it's dragging major butt right now. So now we know Devon and Festus are in on the group. Neither name makes me want to care to find out more. It's time to pull the trigger and give us the reveal on the who, what, when, where and why of it. Another C list wrestler being revealed is not going to cut it for the next time the cameras are on.

I want to like TNA. I really do. I can't stand half of what the WWE tries to pass off. But they went wrong right around when this whole Aces and Eights storyline started. The worst part is it seeps into almost every other angle on the show. And right now? It's flat out boring.

 

Spot on correct all over the place. The issue is that they DON'T have any actual "stars" to come in and save this angle. Everything points to JJ as the man behind it and no one cares. He was an irrelevant star at best in his hay day. He's not a name that will bring in any viewers or generate any interest. If it's Sting, JJ, Bischoff, it's all lame. They NEED to generate interest and right now they can't. As i've said a million times the end game should be Adam Copeland. Have him be the name behind this but it'll never happen. It'll be some lame duck TNA vet that no one will give a crap about. This angle could have easily put TNA on the map. Like SRW says, I want to love TNA. I'm sick of WWE crapting in a box and wrapping it up but TNA isn't even putting the crap in the box. They're just tossing it on the floor.

 

I have been saying for awhile that they need to get Adam Copeland as well. He did recently turn down another WWE Legends contract so it is possible that he could do it. The thing is how effective would he be in a non wrestling role? He has the mic skills and he would bring a lot of publicity to TNA but how long would it last if he couldn't wrestle?

 

I think that Edge could hit a spear here and there and it'd be effective. Even if he can't he could bring in more than enough viewers to get the ball rolling. Plus with Beth being a Free Agent now she could easily DOMINATE the knockout division and make that something unreal.

The issue with bringing him in though is that across the board TNA would have to get better as a whole. That's what happened with the nWo. WCW was meh until the nWo and then booking became awesome(for a little bit). You just need the attention and the rest could fall into place. The issue is they'd have to tell some of their "stars" to heck off and really push their young guys. I was watching something with Paul Heyman about how to improve TNA and he said let the old dogs walk. Develop your young guys and really push them. It's what needs to happen but it won't because they have this idea you need "names"(even crapty ones) to get fans interested in your product. I honestly think that Linda will lose her senatorial race and the E will get better again and hopefully bring TNA with it.

 

In all honesty when Hogan was out for back surgery was when TNA was when TNA was better as a show.......Theres so much focus on Hogan during the show and its getting annoying Hogan and Matt Morgan are feuding and I have no idea why and how will this end because Hogan should never get back in the ring again. I think Hogan brings something to TNA but they need to take the focus off of himself. I truly believe that TNA has cut the balls of Aces and Eights it could have been so much better but they have focused on Aces and Eights never really leaving the roster laying(they have left one or two guys but I am talking the whole damn roster) there is no reason to even believe that Aces and Eights are a threat because they run every time the TNA guys hit the ring.

 

I agree with almost everything you said minus the fact that you believe Hogan brings anything to TNA. His name doesn't even have value at this point. He's a shell of his former self and still thinks he is pro wrestling.

 

I think he still brings in a little bit of money via merchandising aside from that and the few interviews he gets he doesnt bring much. People are not going to tune in because of Hulk Hogan at this stage in the game. He brings down every segment he is in and I really dont like seeing him on my tv. However I think TNA has him on a guaranteed contract or something.
