JDM's TNA updates

[Craig Christ]

Ha! They are going to just keep saying "this isn't the surprise" until something they do gets a positive reaction, then they'll be like "oh yeah, this was what we where talking about!"

QFT.  That's how rookies roll.

[! JDM The Professional !]

Those within TNA suggest Desmond Wolfe is currently in the doghouse. The British wrestling star has developed a reputation for being difficult to work with (ego), which has affected his push in the organization.

Company officials are also down on Matt Morgan, who has been discussed as being part of Ric Flair's Fortune group. Hernandez' two botched Border toss attempts during their Steel Cage bout at Victory Road were blamed on "The Blueprint" since Hernandez is a favorite among management.

On the other hand, company officials are said to very high on The Motor City Machine Guns and Beer Money, Inc. following their stellar tag team bouts at Victory Road at iMPACT!. This is why they are doing the 'best of five' series between the two teams.

Fucking bull shit! Desmond Wolfe has been praised for being good to work with, wrestling observer is wrong on that one. Seriously, just ask Kurt Angel and other stars in TNA.

I'm branding this rumor FALSE until proven otherwise.

JDM its quite obvious Wolfe has been branded as a problem due to his dramatic de-push in the last few months.

[Jack Benevolence]

I don't really follow what is going on backstage that closely, but it does seem like a bad sign that the guy who has never been under the top 3 in the TNA Fan Votes has lost for so long he's reached "I don't know what his finisher is" territory. And the fact that he was completely removed from the official rankings this month.

[! JDM The Professional !]

There may have been a tiff of some sorts with the officials, but I have never heard any of TNA's talent say anything bad about him in ring or out of ring. Frankly, this shit needs to be dropped and sorted out asap.

rvd vs  jerry lynn


hmmm... in wonder who going to win?

[Alex K]

I'm honestly just glad they're not putting the World title on the line. The list of wrestlers looks decent, but again we'll see what happens.

[Cory]

I'll watch this.

Ian going to be honest


I love the RVD -JL matches ,  back in the the day they put up 5 star matches  some of the best ever seen and there is no denying that


but truth it not really lighting a fire for me to want to watch.   I seen them go around one to many times and it work when Jerry Lynn was chasing RVD to be consider the best . but know I supposed to be excited  about one more match that not going to really mean anything in the long run .   it the kicking of a dead horse and that my opinon.  If other people are exicted that cool , if other people want to watch the show because of this . that cool .  I not going to tell them not to.  but it seem like the same thing WWE did and I would not be suprise if after this show the harcore originals stay around .   it nothing new .

like I said it my opinion and if people want to watch the show  more power to them .  have fun and enjoy it .    but I think they are raping a dead corpse and wwe aready done that . so TNA is actually sloppy seconds

Shawn Michaels = 45 years old
The Undertaker = 45 years old

RVD = 39 years old
Jerry Lynn = 47 years old


So we can get excited about the first one which headlined the biggest PPV of the wrestling calendar year and not the second one...that is why everytime you and the TNAters post I shake my head since its the same BS thing about the guys being old and past it. RVD hasnt missed a beat since being in TNA and Lynn well lets see what he can bring to the table.

If we can show and still get excited about Shawn Michaels and Undertaker wrestling a match and matches not involving one another whats wrong with people getting excited about other older wrestlers NOT on the WWE roster that had impacts to 10 years prior.

Not exactly a fair comparison, mate. Shawn and Taker are probably the very best workers still in wrestling, just masters of their craft, and there's really nobody on their level, at least no one that can still go.

That being said, I have a lot of faith in Van Dam and Lynn to still be able to turn it on nowadays, though I do have to wonder how well the Lynn/RVD match is going to fly some 10 odd years later.

It's definitely a must-see though.

[Gary]

I'm a TNA hater, who hates the entire idea of the ECW thing in TNA..and Lynn vs RVD is enticing me to watch.

-- TNA Wrestling is now calling the Global Championship the TV Championship. The belt is currently held by AJ Styles.

-- Sabu has been contacted by TNA Wrestling to appear at Hardcore Justice next month. He's not confirming whether or not he'll appear, but we're told it's highly likely. The same goes for The Sandman.

-- Bill Alfonso is now confirmed for TNA Hardcore Justice.

-- The Sandman and Jerry Lynn are both backstage at today's TNA iMPACT! tapings and are expected to appear tonight.

-- As previously reported, the August 12th iMPACT! will be a two-hour, PPV caliber show. The show will air in its usual time slot, but will contain less backstage skits and angles and more in-ring with higher quality matches. The show will be headlined by RVD vs. Abyss for the World Title. The nail-covered board (Janice) will hang from the ceiling. We can now report that the show will not be an "ECW" themed event, but instead will have matches that likely would have been on the original Hard Justice PPV. Some of the "ECW" talent are expected to work the show. In addition to RVD vs. Abyss for the TNA Title, the final match in the Beer Money vs. Motor City Machineguns series will also be on the show.

-- The fourth match between Beer Money Inc. and The Motor City Machine Guns will be an Ultimate X match. The match will be taped tonight. They taped a cage match last night at the tapings. That match was said to have been "awesome".
