Wrestling Fans – Casual vs. Core
4 CommentsThis is a bit long, so bear with. Last week, I watched the interview with Petey Williams put out by Highspots. He talks about his career, and, particularly, his release from TNA.

Your Empress of “Impact” has waxed obsessive lately in regard to Ultimate X matches. After watching several on dvd for the gazillionth time, I actually e-mailed TNA. I asked if they had ever considered releasing a dvd of every Ultimate X match ever done. (more…)
TNA’s decision not to renew the contracts of Petey Williams, Jimmy Rave, and Lance Hoyt is just the beginning. More talent cuts are said to be forthcoming, and the supposed logic behind TNA’s non-renewals really brings to mind the saying, “There are none so blind as those who cannot see.” It isn’t releasing talent, we’re told, it’s just not renewing their contracts when they expire. This is semantics. Isn’t the end result the same? TNA wants to pump some new life into the undercard of their roster, and bring in new people. With a finite number of spaces and limited resources, someone has to go in order for this to be possible. Okay.
In theatre, there’s a concept called “actorbation.” It’s not in any dictionary, it’s just a term that we use. (more…)
Better late than never! Your Empress of “Impact” is here, largely because no one else will do it, to review TNA’s December pay-per-view offering, “Final Resolution.” Yes, I even paid for it. What do you want from me, I have my reasons. Or more precisely, my reason. 🙂 On paper, this show doesn’t look good. The “Feast or Fired” match concept is terrible, and the execution of the idea last year was even more so. Too many people in at least three of the scheduled matches. Was there an edict to include the entire roster in tonight’s show? In any case, we shall now take a deep breath, clear our collective minds, and find the nearest available line. Let’s cross it, peoples!
Wassupwiddit? The Empress of “Impact” is here, with boredwrestingfan.com’s review of TNA’s November ppv offering, “Turning Point.” Better late than never, right? Will Samoa Joe cripple Kevin Nash more than Nash himself already has? Will AJ Styles cut Sting’s World title reign short? Will the Motor City Machine Guns finally make their mark on the Tag Team division with a title victory? Does anyone actually care about Rhino and Sheik Abdul Bashir? In the words of JT and ThinkSo Joe, let’s cross the line, people!
TNA iMPACT Results – October 30, 2008

Highlights aired from last week’s live broadcast… The new HD opening montage aired… A shot of the Impact Zone showed a cool video screen with the TNA logo and a light show on the stage…
(full results after the jump!) (more…)
I didn’t quite make it online to make predictions last night, but here are your quick results for TNA No Surrender 2008.
Sting announces that he has renewed his contract, and that at Bound For Glory next month, he’ll be facing the winner of tonight’s Four Ways To Glory match for the TNA Championship. He then talks about the talent in TNA and the lack of respect shown to the veterans.
Booker T could not make it to the show due to Hurricane Ike. We here at BWF wish Booker and his family the best and hope they make it through the storm safely.
The Prince Justice Brotherhood defeated The Rock and Rave Infection. Christy Hemme was hit with the Chummer by Shark Boy during the match, and was attended to by Curry Man afterward.
Awesome Kong def. ODB in a Falls Count Anywhere match
Abyss & Matt Morgan def. Team 3D. After the match, Team 3D take out Morgan with a chair. When he comes to, he thinks it was Abyss who hit him. The two argue before an upset Morgan leaves the ring.
Sheik Abdul Bashir def. Consequences Creed & Petey Williams in a three way match to become the new TNA X Division Champion.
Taylor Wilde def. Angelina Love to retain the TNA Knockouts Championship.
Sonjay Dutt def. Jay Lethal in a “Ladder Of Love” match when So Cal Val turned on Lethal.
Beer Money, Inc. def. LAX to retain the TNA Tag Team Championship.
AJ Styles vs. Frank Trigg in a Mixed Martial Arts Match went to a no contest when Styles hit Trigg with a Kendo Stick.
Samoa Joe def. Kurt Angle & Christian Cage in a Four Three Ways to Glory match to retain the TNA World Heavyweight Championship
I know it’s against the usual site policy to post spoilers, but since I know I’m not going to be around for iMPACT tonight (or next week, for that matter), I’ve decided to go that route. Since the policy is normally to not post spoilers, I don’t have a spoiler tag to hide them in, so instead, you can get iMPACT spoilers after the jump. I may post a review in the morning, but for now, this is your iMPACT coverage here on BoredWrestlingFan.com
Spoilers from WrestlingInc.com; after the jump! (more…)
