In other words you know i'm right. You can't show me one thing WWE does right now that TNA is copying. The best you could come up with is storylines and gimmicks which is the one thing, the number 1 thing WWE is lacking. The companies are nothing alike and people watching TNA are not marks.

Totally agree with you there.

[wildmovieguy]

TNA really can't be beaten on their deals, 6 DVDs, a Jeff Hardy T shirt which can only be bought at house shows and teh AJ Styles action figure which is only available online (3000 left) for only $30. A shame their postage is so high for the UK though.

Looking forward to iMPACT! tonight, from spoilers I've read it sounds like a good show.

Also, July Destination X PPV spoiler, not regarding individual matches but as to what the theme of it will be...

Spoiler

An all X-Division PPV. Plans to bring Styles, Joe etc. back to the division for the night, and even some wrestlers no longer under contract

If they do that, it would be the smartest thing TNA have done in years.

[ags_rule]

Ratings in Lockdown, and it got 191,000 viewers, which was the highest rated show on Challenge for the week (alongside iMPACT!) and TNA's highest ever viewed PPV in the UK.

Good news for the company then.

Apparently confirmed at the current set of tapings that the company is now called Impact Wrestling, not TNA.

[wildmovieguy]

That is a big one but there is also a big shocker! I think both this weeks Impact and next weeks look amazing, i cant wait to watch them.

[whedon247]

name change? wow

i love russo as you all know so feel 2010/11 has been great,but ive found last 4-5 weeks of impact kinda "samey"

please get out the impact zone as crowd reaction kills alot of storlyines/characters

[wildmovieguy]

So

Spoiler

Chyna is now in TNA and Chris Harris and Mr Anderson is the 1 contender for the title.

Pretty big episode i think.

Still not entirely sure what way this is going, it seems unclear as to whether they are officially dropping the TNA name or just relegating it to the sidelines.

Noticed AJ Styles ending interview of iMPACT this week though he gave it away - "This is TNA, this is Impact Wrestling!"

From looking at spoilers the next two weeks look superb!

This is what Meltzer said a few weeks back. It was unknown whether they would drop TNA completely, but they are going to push the Impact name more.

Spoiler

Hiring Chyna in 2011. Laughable.

[ags_rule]

Mistress:

Spoiler

I disagree, I think it's a fantastic decision, but only if it's on a temporary basis just to finish the Angle/Jarrett feud. After all, Jarrett and Chyna have history, and Chyna was the only woman to ever wrestle full-time in the men's division. She's a legend of the business, be interesting to see if she has the professionalism to carry this through

[QWERTYOP]

Spoiler

Chyna is a car crash waiting to happen. She's been smashed out of her mind more times than Jeff Hardy!

Pretty big episode i think.

What day will we see it ?(havent watched TNA in a while)

[ags_rule]

The mistress and network reveals are two Tuesdays from now (17th May) while the return of said wrestler is next week I believe.

Edit: Got it wrong, all three happen on one show, May 17th. Gonna be a big night!

[whedon247]

now we know its a returning wrestler then

thanks!

[DejaVoodoo]

We should probably use the us pace thread.

There are three separate events - the network reveal, the mistress reveal and a return of a wrestler. I think that's pretty vague, apologies if you considered it a spoiler though.

And we're 5 days behind, tso - the US shows new episodes of impact on a Thursday, and we see that episode the following Tuesday. iMPACT tapings, however, take place 2 weeks before they are broadcast anywhere

So is

Spoiler

Foley

the network?

I don't know to what extent that's a spoiler, it's probably how TNA will actually promote the show.

"Tune in this week to find out who is behind the network! Also, Kurt Angle finally reveals his mistress, and we also see the long-awaited return of...tune in to find out!"



That's all very vague and builds a good deal of hype without actually giving away actual details. Standard stuff really. If you consider that a spoiler you probably shouldn't read these threads at all tbh!
