Obviously, I misunderstood the name change. I thought the name of the organization was being changed, but it's not. It's still TNA. It's the name of the show that was changed. "TNA iMPACT!" is now "Impact Wrestling".

As far as the look of the new set goes, I think the 'Smackdown' blue was a bad idea. Yes, Raw uses red as well, but this new look is a step backward. Looking more generic.

Not taking anything away from the show itself though. That drop that Samoa Joe gave Amazing Red looked brutal! Well done.

TNA is no more than a retirement home nowadays. The knockout division is the best thing they have going, which is the saddest shit ever.

 

[Moonchild22]

What does that even mean? 'Retirement home'.

They should have let us know that while wrestling matters, segments matter more.

I already commented on "Macho Man" Randy Savage at the WWE thread, but I'll quote it here. Not just because he spent some time with TNA, but because he deserves to be acknowledged everywhere in professional wrestling:

I just heard about Randy Savage. That is absolutely horrible.
I have said for a long time that he was one of the best and most important performers in professional wrestling.
We were just talking about people who "no-sell". Savage was one of the all-time best at selling his opponents moves as well as his own. He always made his opponents look so much better with his help. He understood the right way to do the matches. I still believe that if not for Macho man, Hulkamania wouldn't had grown the way it did (and thereby the WWF wouldn't had grown to the popularity that it did). Their alliance as the "Mega Powers" and then their feud were some of the best of the golden age of WWF. So was his feud with Ric Flair, and earlier with Ricky Steamboat.
Randy Poffo (his real name) went to the same high school as me - but about 25 years earlier. He held the state championships in high school wrestling as well. I think he still holds some kind of record there. His brother Lanny Poffo (who also wrestled in WWF as The Genius) also went there.

I just got a somewhat cheesy (but also cool) image in my head of Miss Elizabeth holding open the golden ropes for him up there.

Rest in peace Macho Man

Hulk Hogan, The Rock and other wrestlers comment on Randy Savage

For WWE/WWF, WCW and TNA, he entertained so much for all of them.

Additionally, it's too bad that Jay Lethal is no longer with TNA. It would've been interesting to see if he might've paid some kind of tribute to him, being such a big fan of Savage that he did such a great impersonation of him.

 

[Moonchild22]

Both, TNA and WWE have tributes to Savage on their sites, but since most of his work was with WWF/WCW, obviously the WWE site has more.

 

[Dean Henneberg]

TNA should bring back Jay Lethal one more time so he can pay tribute to the Macho Man like he used to. :bowdown:

 

[Icewater Jones]

What does that even mean? 'Retirement home'.

That place that wrestlers go that is in between independant living and hospice care. A place for guys that 'gotta keep rasslin' that other organizations deemed over the hill or non-primetime performers. Everyone on their roster is a 'Hey look, it's __________! They used to be awesome!' type.

TNA Bringing Back The Six-Sided Ring?

The promotional poster for TNA's upcoming Destination X pay-per-view event has been released and it features an image of the six-sided ring. Of course, this would be a one-night only type deal.

You can click here to view the poster.

The event takes place Sunday, July 10, 2011 at the Impact! Wrestling Zone in Orlando, Florida.

I thought they still used it for house shows sometimes.

 

[pluggs999]

I liked the six-sided ring. It just gave them a nice contrasting visual to other wrestling companies. But I have never been in or worked inside it so I don't know if a 4-sided ring is preferred by the talent

All those other organizations, such as WWE, WWE, WWE and WWE.
I'd rather watch TNA's "non-primetime performers" than the overly (and poorly) used poster kids of WWE. Additionally, those 'over-the-hill' ones you speak of are just a few out of the roster, and for the most part don't spend as much ring time as the younger talent who are way more talented in the ring than the ones in that other organization. If anything, WWE is the Disney daycare center.

Oh, I never said WWE was better! Both organizations are nowhere near as high as their potential. ROH still has the best in ring action of all the companies. TNA has the better roster, and WWE has the best personalities. It just seems like none of them can put it all together.

Chyna Denies Porn Rumors

According to Beauty Queen Management, who represent the former WWE Women's Champion, the report is "totally untrue" as she has not and will not be shooting any porn videos.

"All rumors relating to Chyna and porn are totally false and should be taken with a grain of salt." her manager Michelle Roberts told Chyna fansite alivingwonder.com.

According to sources, TNA has no plans on using Chyna any further, nor the woman originally slotted for the role of Kurt Angle's associate, Isis the Amazon.
