I thought Nash gave up the dark haired look last time he was in WWE because no matter how many times he tried to dye it, it just wouldn't go completely black. I guess brown is different though.

Yeah, but it could be the perfect way to turn AJ Styles face, He fits the bill as a former world champion.

I personally hope Sting doesn't sign anything with WWE, I'm another that doesn't support WWE anymore, I haven't since they made Sheamus WWE champion, that was the last straw for me personally.

I remember the dirtsheets reporting of a Diesel return at that time, yet that doesn't mean alot. Maybe black dye is a problem... I'm not sure. Wouldn't surprise me though.



I think that is what they will do. But I prefer Styles as a cocky heel thesedays. He shows more personality that way.

The January 27 episode of TNA iMPACT! scored a 1.28 cable rating, the program's highest mark since October 14.

iMPACT! averaged 1.93 million viewers over the course of two hours, which is the third largest average audience in the program's history

The first hour drew a 1.34 rating before dipping to a 1.23 in the second hour.

Averaging 1.93 million is good.

Anybody attend the Maximum Impact tour last night in London? If not here were the results:

Three-Way X Division Championship
Kaz (Champion), Shannon Moore & Chris Sabin. Kaz wins via reverse tombstone move.

Six-Man Mixed Tag Match
Angelina Love, Mickey James, Matt Morgan bt Pope, Tara, Madison Rayne.
Morgan pinned Pope after a massive Carbon Footprint. Ref Earl Hebner, responding to chants of "You screwed Bret" took off his ref shirt to reveal message: "Damn right I did", putting on shades and generally strutting like king of the walk. Rayne in tiara and satchel waved to crowd like the Queen. Hebner just reward at end by smooching Rayne.

Tag Team Championship
Beer Money bt Magnus and British wrestler Mark Haskins. Biggest pop of the night for Storm and Roode. Storm pinned Haskins after their "Drinking While Investing" finisher. Much shouting of "Beer" and "Money"

Ric Flair bt Douglas Wiliams by submission. No promo from Flair, unfortunately. Williams appeared to suffer a left-knee injury attempting a top turnbuckle double axe-handle. Flair seized upon this with the Figure-4 leglock. Williams countered with an inside cradle, but Flair resisted to secure win. Williams appeared frustrated not to win on home turf.

Jeff Jarrett bt Charlie Moss using El Kabong.
This wasn't the MMA challenge thing unfortunately. Jeff before the match entered the ring calling the Wembley audience "*******" (think Desmond Wolfe) and whinged about us taking money out of his pocket by us getting Imapct, Xplosion and PPVs all for free on Challenge TV. What he should be complaining about was why wrestling is being shown on a game show network! Charlie Moss is the wrestler TNA signed for this tour, looked a lot like Eric Young.

Dixie Carter came out to thank the crowd, the British press and promoters for the European tour. Wembley again set the world record for a TNA house show. Wooo! Dixie left holding the English flag over her head

RVD bt Matt Hardy. Matt Hardy's TNA debut in London ended in defeat as van Dam hit the Five-Star Froggysplash. RVD is ****ing amazing live.

TNA World Heavyweight Championship
Mr Anderson bt Jeff Hardy.
Jeff Hardy did his "dancing like a Manc" routine quite a lot inbetween exchanges. Matt Hardy came out to clock Anderson with the Divas belt after Brian Hebner gets knocked out. Earl Hebner came out to count the pin but Anderson kicked out. After an exchange of a Twist of Hate Anderson rallied to hit the Mic Check for the win. Jeff Hardy eventually gets up to flip us the bird.

After the match Mr Anderson addressed the crowd in his typical style, said he is a USA patriot, but for tonight... he then holds up the British flag. Disappointingly Wembley Arena didn't install a microphone to drop for his gimmick.

Crowd was capacity, fairly loud with lots of "Wooo!" and "Beer!" "Money!" shouts all the way back to the tube station.

Just noticed TNA have moved Victory Road from july to march,is this so they can have a road to Lockdown?
sorry if this has been posted already.

^Probably, Seeing they've started promoting for Lockdown already, Its gonna take place in Cincinnati, something of which i applaud.
Any TV/PPV events outta the IZ please me, The NC tapings next month please me too.

I really like the show they did at the hard rock cafe,think it was for the first HD impact.Small crowd but fun,anything outside Orlando has to be good

I thought this week was the big live Impact outside Orlando?

^Nah, I originally thought the big feb 3rd show would be live but I was looking at Mickie James twitter earlier and she confirms there's two tapings scheduled for this week at the Impact Zone.
IIRC the tapings outside the IZ, are 24th Feb, I think they are taping two shows that night.

I went to the TNA house show in Wembley arena last night and it was great. On a related note, Angelina Love's' abs were unreal! I was gobsmacked, they are the 8th wonder of the world. I go to the gym a lot etc but have never seen someone so perfect (abs).

Jarrett's opponent is called Johnny Moss not Charlie.

From Nash's WWE.com interview

Some pretty interesting spoilers for TNA this week although not surprising.

Pwinsider.

Wrestling Observer saying something similar

It probably will be the best thing that could have happened for the company.

There was no evidence to suggest Kevin Nash and Booker T meant anything to ratings and both seemed reluctant to establish new stars. Nobody knows the PPV figures so not sure about that. Furthermore, I don't think they worked many live events. The only way they were worth value is through merchandise (doubtful) or attracting sponsors. They've got charismatic characters such as Anderson and Pope. Plus untested talented acts like Robert Roode, Alex Shelley and Desmond Wolfe.

All of them work a full schedule. All of them come much cheaper.

There is no doubt Nash and Booker meant nothing for TNA ratings. At first there was maybe some interest, but not after a while. TNA and WWE should be booking the new young talent on top and use the established guys to get them over. Hopefully TNA and WWE do this.

Reports: That Ric Flair could be done with TNA as he is not on any of the tapings this week.

Will he be in Atlanta for WWE Hall of Fame?

Depends if Vince and Trips are prepared to pay his bar bills.

Richard Morgan Fliehr is 62 years old this month.

So according to the spoilers, 'They' are Which confuses me a little because earlier in the

And Ric Flair has a torn rotator cuff, he is still very much with TNA.

Ok Help, just gone through trying to work out which Eps of TNA on Challenge are new, which are from where it left off on Bravo, and which are old. Could someone help me please, with Times and Dates of what is what?

As follows:

Thursday February 3rd, 12am - The December 30th episode.
Friday February 4th, 12am - The January 6th episode.
Saturday February 5th, 12am - The January 13th episode.
Sunday February 6th, 12am - The January 20th episode.
Monday February 7th, 12am - The January 27th episode.
Tuesday February 8th, 1OPM - First up-to-date episode - the February 3rd episode.
Wednesday February 9th, 10PM - TNA Genesis ppv (from Jan 9th)
Tuesday February 15th, 10PM - The February 10th episode.
Wednesday February 16th, 10PM - TNA Against All Odds ppv, from Feb 13th - ppv's now up-to-date from this point forward.

Basically they're showing all the missed Impact episodes daily from late Wednesday night/Thursday morning at 12am, until next Tuesday when the first up-to-date episode airs. They show the Genesis ppv the following night (from a few weeks earlier), then the following week you get an up-to-date Impact followed by an up-to-date ppv on 2 nights back to back.

I wonder if they will improve the bitrate on the channel.

thanks so much for the listings now i know which ones to SKY+ and which ones to just not bother with (have been reading spoilers so know some have been crap). That was very kind thankyou
