Random TNA Bullshit Vol. 2

[Valeyard]

I still wouldn't fuck with him.

Some of the worst ink in history on Saturn. Almost Kimo-like.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I still wouldn't fuck with him.

That’s what I was trying to say. Fact that he is naked and drunk makes him scarier. No one wants to fight a naked guy. A naked guy who is legitimately badass is nightmare fuel.


For more about this, check out the movie A History of Violence from your local library.

 

[Fall of Epic]

You're thinking of Eastern Promises. Wrong Cronenberg.

Also how the heck did I not know WWE senior official Dan Engler is former TNA senior official Rudy Charles?

 

[Valeyard]

WWE seemed to wind up with all their refs except Slick Johnson, which is too bad because I really liked Slick.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Too many bad memories from nWo 2000 for me to ever enjoy seeing Slick Mark Johnson.

Not that there weren't guys I liked in nWo 2000 but if your career PEAKED with nWo 2000, I'm not going to enjoy your work. Lookin' st you, Harris Twins.

And now from the “Well, it could’ve seemed like a big deal at the time!” Files

One of the greatest anti-pops of all time. It's majestic in terms of the contrast between the wrestlers' reactions versus the crowd.

But it's true though.

What are the chances Hulkster thought EC3 was a money mark? I say it’s 50/50.

“You were related to Dixie Carter in kizzayfabe, brother? From Designing Women? Anyway you want a picture, dude?”


Looking at Wikipedia, their TNA runs just barely overlapped. First EC3 vignette aired on the 9-26-2013 episode of Impact and Hulk Hogan left Impact Wrestling (with Dixie grabbing his leg and crying behind him IIRC) on the next week’s episode.


HEY!

That would mean today is the 10th anniversary of the start of the worst era in TNA Wrestling history, @Valeyard !

 

[Valeyard]

That era had a great women's division, at least.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

There weren’t any Eric Young or Magnus level flops in the Knockouts division but there were definitely a handful of forgettable champs in the mid 2010s.

I honestly didn’t know Brooke Tessmacher and Maria Kanellis-Bennett had Knockouts title runs.

 

[Valeyard]

Brooke got decent and Maria just ruled her whole run. Era had Rosemary and Laurel Van Ness with the great character work as well plus all things Allie.

Yeah but what did Ricky Morton choose for a karaoke song? “Turn the Page”? “Neon Moon”?

 

[Valeyard]

Something Eagles or "My Sharona."

So Hulk considers the highlight of his TNA run was Dixie Carter being a sweetheart to him while he was getting paid to nurse injuries? Yeah I guess that tracks.

 

[Valeyard]

When did his eye get wonky?

A match between Moose and Monty Brown was on the table at one point.

Never forget what we really lost during the pandemic.

@Valeyard , I don’t care what you think, I am still glad we never got Hogan Vs Foley in TNA!

Gimpy gorilla Hogan squashing Generation Me in a handicap match though…

 

[Valeyard]

All I said was it would've been good because Foley would kill himself to make Hogan look like less of a cripple. They always would've clicked really well, though.

It's funny, if Hogan wasn't caught being a racist fuck he probably would've been in AEW at least once by now.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Idk why but I think the next two and a half months of shows are going to be as lame duck as when they were doing that stupid round robin tournament in 2015ish.

NNot only was it stupid! It was for the World Title!

Matches you didn't think existed thread crosspost.

That match made Red. I was blown away. One of the greatest X matches for a long time

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

Red was like, my GUY when I watched that early TNA at the time. Why did he never get a shot in the big leagues? Injuries? Was he a dick?

 

[Big Papa Paegan]

Red was like, my GUY when I watched that early TNA at the time. Why did he never get a shot in the big leagues? Injuries? Was he a dick?

Just when he was really starting to get nuclear over in TNA? He did a tour of Japan and fucked up his knee. He was never the same after that, noticeably slower.

And I've heard some real shitty things about him insofar as how he runs HOG.

 

[Fall of Epic]

He gained his following in an era where WWE weren't touching guys his size. If he came around a decade later when NXT was getting hot then he would have fared better. The high flyers now all cite him as an influencer so he made his mark.

 

[Valeyard]

And the very important detail of him having the promo skills of a glass of milk.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

That Okada kid sure went nowhere. Can’t believe New Japan would send their dregs to the States.

 

[Valeyard]

That's still so shocking. Okada doing nothing more than being a limo driver, Tanahashi working Xplosion, Russo using the IWGP tag titles as a prop. Awful.
