1 - Cort, thank you.

2- i'd never seen any TNA.

3- Mike Tenay.  I hate Mike Tenay.  I use to watch a lot of WCW, and i hate Mike Tenay.  

4- Mike Tenay is impressing me.  His commentary on the Petey vs Saban match makes me want to hear him call more matches.  I had never heard Mike Tenay call out Shrilly before.  He's actually pretty convincing doing it.  Apparently, I did not hate Mike Tenay, insomuch as i hated Tony Schivione MORE than i thought.  WAY MORE THAN I EVER ASSUMED WAS POSSIBLE.  

5- I have not finished watching that match, Mike Tenay calling out in a Shrill Voice impressed me too much.

6- So far, i am very impressed by the flow of this match.  The "coach" manager is doing an excellent job of being a ringside manager who interferes without actually interfering with my enjoyment of the match.  good psychology and they piece the spots into the flow very, very well.

7- thank you again.

In TNA they call Tenay "The Professor" because he knows the name of every move and promotion and isn't afraid to use this knowledge. He'll come out and say the Angel's Wings is a variant of the Pedigree. And when Samoa Joe appeared last week Tenay mentioned his nearly 2-year reign as ROH champ despite the fact that ROH is their most direct rival. Now "Screamin'" Don West does bug me sometimes. Although I do enjoy that he'll call fuck ups.

Yeah, Coach D'Amore is awesome as long as he keeps his shirt on. He legit trained both Petey and Sabin and does a damn fine moonsault for a man his size. It's called the D'Amorealizer. And as I said in the PM he does have a storyline reason for being "coach" because of the World X Cup.

Edit: Also starting 7/1 you can now watch TNA Impact for free on tnawrestling.com if you have Real Player. New episodes on Fridays.

they called him the professor on WCW Nitro and it came across as contrived because they, apparently, stifled him.

watched the end of the match, and for a screw-job it was extremely well done; it strengthened the feud.


me likee.

I still have to say that the O, Canada Nut-Stomp is one of the greatest contrived spots ever. Way cooler than the 619.

Wait until you watch the XXX vs. AMW match. Petey/Sabin looks like crap by comparison.

Okay people, TNA Impact is going to be on Spike Saturdays at 11pm and Tuesday mornings at midnight starting 10/1.

Line up for the first episode:
    [*]"The Phenomenal" AJ Styles vs. Roderick Strong (of ROH fame)
    [*]"The Alpha Male" Monty Brown vs. Lex Lovett
    [*]Petey Williams vs. Alex Shelley vs. Chris Sabin
    [*]Rhino vs. Jeff Hardy
    [/list]There will be appearances by: Shane Douglas, Raven, Larry Zbyszko, Tito Ortiz, Abyss, Sabu, Scott D'Amore, Jeff Jarrett, America's Most Wanted, and at least one "surpise."

    This may be your chance to actually see a Canadian Destroyer in non-gif form.

    Wal-Mart is also doing an exclusive DVD package. You get 3 PPVs for $25. Victory Road (the first 3-hour PPV), Turning Point (the one I sent people clips of), and Lockdown (all cage matches).

    This confuses me. Does this mean Alex Shelley fights them both or all three fight each other?

    It's a 3-way with every man for himself. First pinfall or submission wins the bout.
