So it just occurred to me that this is on now, so I'm watching. Mainly because Bully/Sabin intrigues me as a match.

 

So wow. Petey and Sonjay are completely unrecognisable. Could not have picked them out of a lineup. What generic goofs.

 

American ads are hilariously OTT. And I now really want a Double Steak Quesadilla.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Magnus...*sigh*

 

If the Mafia came out to fight, why are they in suits?

 

It was great that Rampage's first physicality in TNA was backstage in a room where the cameras couldn't see it. And now they've kidnapped Kurt Angle. I see.

 

I'm not trying to be snarky, by the way, although it must appear so. I'm just commentating to pass the time here, and nothing particularly interesting is happening.

[Maxximus 353]

I'm watching too. It's all in one eye out the other. Nothing is sticking.

 

Now I want a Double Steak Quesadilla too.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

TRENT?! TRENT!

 

F*ck him being stuck in the sh*tty X Division, but I cannot begrudge Trent Barreta landing a full-time gig in wrestling. Dude is legit.

[Maxximus 353]

HARDCORE COUNTRY!

 

Cut to commercial.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Mickie rating the ladder match a solid **1/2 was hilarious. So glad Mickie is getting a chance to cut loose after so long.

 

Still, as good as Mickie is right now, the absolute best thing would be Gail taking the title to drop to Taryn at BFG.

 

Alright, match time.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

Well...OK.

 

First of all, the first few minutes of that match RULED. If there's one thing Bully can nail, it is the Bully Ray vs Plucky Underdog match. LOVED the opening.

 

Everything after that was kind of weird though. Aces out, then the Mafia comes out, including a Kurt Angle who JUST ESCAPED BEING KIDNAPPED, and they...do nothing? Having them all stand 6 feet away from each other the whole match and not fight looked absurd. The match itself descended into an extended squash that plodded on and that Bully took far too much of. Should have realised that he was losing at that point because they made Sabin look really weak here, selling and selling FOREVER and then hitting one lucky cheap shot to win what has recently been a pretty protected World Title. I'm happy for Sabin but I did not like how this went down at all.

[Maxximus 353]

Aces and Sixes suck. The Main Event Mafia sucks.

 

One good thing about this show was no Taz on commentary.

 

Hope Sabin gets a good run and maybe a feud with Aries or someone else really good. Hail Sabin.

Trent? and Rockstar Spud are the future of the X-Division?

 

Well f*ck, now I've got to start watching again. At least the X-Division stuff and Sabin as champ anyways.

 

Damnit TNA.

[Guest Jayfunk]

didn't sabin give up the belt?

[Omega 354]

Damnit TNA.

 

Don't worry, the next impact taping will sort you back to normality.

[Guest Jimmy Redman]

didn't sabin give up the belt?

 

He meant it as two separate points. The X Division, and Sabin as (world) champ.

 

If that's what you meant.

[dsrchris 190]

If that's what you meant.

 

Yeah, that's what I meant. If I can bring myself to look at that f*ckin' horrible X-Division belt, that is.

[Guest Jamster26]

Wow, was not expecting that. Hail Sabin! :)
