Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 2 Hours...
Watching April 9's Impact....
Sting calls out Jarrett....he wants to know why Foley was allowed to book a match between Joe and Sting.....Jarrett is the one "calling the shots" in TNA.....Sting wants a warm up match for Foley tonight.....Motorcity Machine Guns come out to the ring....Shelley calling out the fact that Foley is in charge....Shelley wants the MMG against Foley for a handicap match as a warm up for Lockdown.....
JB is with Foley....Foley is proud of the fact that Jarrett is taking the reins of the companys again....Foley says he is going to tweak the match....
A Jeff Jarrett DVD....hmmmm....not so much....
Don West is still heel marking....ironically he is talking about people discriminating against Bashir and then says that with Bashir's background he could snap....Bashir pins Suicide after a DDT on the X-Division title....
I love the blood effect on the cage in the video for Lockdown....
Rhino is offering to train the Petty Officer that came down at Destination X to become a wrestler....
The Rough Cuts with Team 3D have been pretty cool....I like shoot interviews normally and this is an interesting take on it...
Foley's tweak on the match is a First Blood Match with Sting as the special guest enforcers...and Jarrett at ringside for some reason...."Have a nice evening"??? Did he get hit with a lawsuit for the Have a Nice Day thing?
Booker talks about Sharmel being taken by Joe....
Joe's tattoo isn't real??? Damn....I guess Steiner wasn't lying about the facepaint...
The governor is Daffeney???? Cool.....
WHY ARE WE WASTING MORE FUCKING TIME ON THIS STUPID ODB DATE THING?!?!?!?!
MMG is offering to put up the IWGP Junior Tag Titles against Foley.....
Nash interferes in a match involving Beer Money and Steiner and Team 3D comes in to protect them....
Foley vs MMG....first blood match....Ref tries to stop the match because of some blood on Mr. Socko....Foley wants to bust someone open.....Sting hits Foley with a chair....which busts Foley open and the MMG win....Foley and Sting go at it....
One more episode....2 hours....I might actually get this done on the drive to the arena...

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 2:50
Yep....another episode....Watching April 2 right now.....
Joe doesn't want to be the captain of the team....AJ is asked to take the reins and he says no...he says that Jarrett should be the captain....Steiner comes to the ring and starts talking about his personal relationship with Jarrett.....trying to recruit Jarrett into the Mafia....
Team 3D being challenged by the MEM security....lol....
The Foley interview with Tenay was briliant....losing his mind is always a great angle....
Yay! Another Dr. Stevie segment....A fucking I'll Show You reference!!!!!!!! All I needed was a "You'll See!" and I think I would have fucking passed out....BRILLIANT!
Team 3D beats the MEM Security and then get beat down....Beer Money comes in and saves them in an odd sense of honor and respect....I actually have more respect for them now....
MEM is in the ring and Foley is in the rafters with a barbed wire baseball bat....and he booked a match for Sting (non-title) against Samoa Joe....
I get another Dr. Stevie segment....with the Governor???
I love the video package for Lockdown...it has Christian taking so much abuse....
Maybe I will get an answer as to why there is a Survivor winner.....Nash shows up...talks to her sexy...I guess there is consideration for her investing into TNA....whatever....
The fact that watching Samoa Joe wrestle the way he is now gives me goosebumps is awesome....I don't know why it happens, but it does.....I think the irony of there being a Nation of Violence where Joe is the only member is really funny....why is a steel chair the weapon of choice for wrestlers?.....Joe takes Sharmel out of the arena.....and the episode ends.....
2 Episodes left...2 hours and 50 minutes to watch them in.....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 16 Hours

Beautiful People vs other people....who cares....
Matt Morgan vs Abyss.....must have sucked to lay in those tacks for that long Abyss.....
WHY THE FUCK AM I WATCHING A DANCE OFF ON A PPV????
Dear God...JB needs a new job....
Are you fucking kidding me....15 minutes of this bullshit....
Gee what a shocker...Kong won....
Don has kind of dropped the heel angle for the time being....
Samoa Joe vs Steiner....holy shit Joe looks so vicious....
I'm about half way through Destination X when AJ Styles and Booker are going to have a match....but I am falling asleep so I think it is time to pause and come back after some sleep....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 17:20
Still catching up.....March 12, 2009
Sting gets to pick someone and Angle gets to pick someone and they fight.....fun....of course there will be chaos....whatever....
Why is there a Survivor winner on TNA....they tried that on fucking WWE....
Don West started out not at the announce table and now he has joined it....still as a heel....
Gee...we go from The Beautiful People to My Pi Sexy?? I don't even care how to spell it....Holler...
Now I can get behind doing these montages of wrestlers during the show....but why aren't they showcasing the guy who just wrestled at the end of the next segment....
I love fast forward....since I watched episode after episode so I don't really need to watch the recaps.....
Cornette goading Booker into a match with Styles was well written...
Angle with a if you don't understand English don't come to the country....
The fact that Tenay and West keep referencing the fact that Tenay thinks people should take it to the ring and leave it in the ring makes me think that they are going to be fighting....
A talking Abyss is pretty fun to deal with....I wonder why they always gave him a handler....
Mick Foley at the announcers table because Don West walked out again....lol....
I literally laughed out loud when ODB mounted JB.....
Somehow I sincerely doubt that Foley would get laid out by a steel pipe if the man can fall off a table through a damn table....but that's the game they want to play...
You know Booker talking normal still doesn't make him any easier to understand.....
I've decided that I am going to get TNA Mobile now that it is free and once I am caught up.....
Once again....they are showing us the LAX montage video after they have finished wrestling and a whole other segment has finished.....
heh...."Rocco" from MEM security is recruited by Angle for this pick your avatar match because Angle can't get anyone else to represent him.....I could totally replace Rocco....I weight the same as him and I am bigger...
I have to get behind the fact that if Sting wins he is going to be taking over the MEM and not leaving the MEM.....it would make a better swerve....Sting could have sent "the hit" to take out Mick to make it look like it was Kurt....
Hmmm....Double J as the Guest Ref and Foley as Enforcer.....interesting.....I think that is where Sting is going to swerve and tell everyone that Jeff and Mick are working for him.....
Next up...Destination X.....13 hours left.....
Sting gets to pick someone and Angle gets to pick someone and they fight.....fun....of course there will be chaos....whatever....

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up T-Minus 21:30 Hours
Ok, I have 17 Hours of TNA to watch with 21:30 left before Lockdown starts.
I haven't had a whole hell of a lot of time to watch TNA between school and such.
Things to note: Don West losing it on Tenay was cool. Especially since they were discussing letting him go form the company. Though I don't know who would replace him, but that matters very little to me unless it is Michael Cole.
Angle vs Sting in the empty arena was....odd. I mean it apparently got huge ratings, but it wasn't that great. It was a little different, but that was about it. I love the fact that they are fucking with the MEM while they are still a fairly fresh faction. It makes it seem like they aren't too invested in the outcome of it.
Joe showing up with a knife at Steiner's throat was fun. I also think it is funny that they have only been showing his profile that doesn't have the tattoo.
Suicide wanting the X-Division title is interesting.....He moves a lot like Kaz....maybe....
I love the recaps of Ultimate X matches.
And Foley having the Hardcore Rememberings is great.....makes me want to go find some of the things that he is talking about.....
Dan West being a heel is kind of cool.....
Petey Williams losing the Beer Money match and being let go was disappointing. I hope that he is moving on to something else like ROH or something.....
I didn't care about Lance Rock....
The mini interviews with the rasslers is cool....
James Storm slapping Roode in the ass and then coming back to slap Jackie was funny....
Booker losing the stupid accent is great.....
The Spend the Night with ODB contest is weird.....and creepy.....
I think the MEM track suits is stupid....them coming out in suits was cool.....
There is so much talking now in TNA....I remember when there was like 5 minutes of talking and tons of wrestling....why when they switched to 100% more television time did they switch to 350% more talking?
I just saw a sign saying "Bring Back Sabu".....
I hope that we get a Don West vs Mike Tenay match in the future.....
The Nation Of Violence idea is pretty cool.....
Arresting Styles.....hmmmm.....and then Don trying to sell it as serious is silly....though Tenay saying that you should settle these things in the ring...that is funny....I always wondered how wrestling organizations put over the fact that the wrestlers were willing to forego assault charges just to get in a ring with they guy who assaulted them.....
Oh yeah....the Dr. Stevie segments are great.....I hope that Dr. Stevie turns out to be Stevie Richards.....that would be cool.....
I think it is funny that Cornette took back the title belt from Booker T...the 'rightful holder' of a fake championship that TNA has decided to honor......
The fact that Beer Money Inc is playing stupid is pretty funny.....they actually almost thought that Team 3D was referring to some other tag team besides them.....
That was mostly from March 5......

Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up: Against All Odds 2009
So Mobile blogging sucks....I gotta figure out a better solution...
So the first 3 hours of my last 24 is Against All Odds. Here goes.....
So the first 3 hours of my last 24 is Against All Odds. Here goes.....
So Petey Williams vs Scott Steiner....how can they justify not letting Williams actually fight someone he can properly showcase his talents against?
Steiner hits a Steiner Screwdriver ..... Who thought it was a good idea to let Steiner potentially cripple Petey?
So AJ Styles is back....I barely noticed he was gone.....
How did Matt Morgan have a streph infection in his shoulder?
Ok, the four way match for the Heavyweight Title was pretty bad. Sting wins with a Scorpion Death Drop on Bubba Ray that had a horrible set up.
Diabolik's TNA Catch-Up that was from Twitter
My Loudtwitter shipping isn't working again. So here is everything from the last 2 days I have been Twittering. I have 24 Hours of TNA programming left...2 PPVs and 9 Impacts to go....

8. I want a flaming tack glass table. . . . . and of course I don't get it. 3:50 AM Apr 14th from txt

Diabolik's (and Rich's) TNA Catch-Up for October 23, 2008
Diabolik: Well, in my normal vein of trying to catch up on TNA Wrestling (if you hadn't noticed by the deluge of posts on both Perfect Impact and on Diabolik's Total Nonsense and Ridiculousness) I was surprised by Rich showing up at my home this morning to hang out. So we decided to let Rich in on the things he has been missing and do a little back and forth blogging about the October 23, 2008 show.
So how goes it Rich?
Richard: It's goin...been a while since I've actually watching any TNA programing, and I'm interested to see what I've missed. Work, life in general and a great deal of other things have kept me away. But with the new Lockdown coming up, and the fact that we'll be there for it, I'm kinda hyped! Looks like we're ready to go here, we've got the first TNA in HD set up in front of us, and it looks like it might be a big one. It's in Las Vegas, and although it happened a while ago, looks like it may have been shot and shown live, so that's cool. Haven't had one of those since the two hour special, or so I've just been told. I'm also a sucker for HD, so I'll be looking forward to catching that on my TV after the catch-up, and of course if I have Spike HD on my FiOS box. Guess now all that's left is to hit play!
Diabolik: The Beautiful People...Wooo....can I sound more apathetic?
I'm sure they were the center of attention in Las Vegas....they look kind of like hookers....
Richard: Didn't know Kip was involved with this...even though I read his name in the catch-up. Wow, what's up with that? Yeah...they do kinda look like that.
Diabolik: Oh...so you just didn't get that Mr. Ass was a part of The Beautiful People now?
Yeah
Hoooray for that!
Sarcasm!
Richard: Is there a story that makes this any less weird?
Diabolik: No....but now they are using paper bags with Kip's face on them......on women.....
So Velvet Sky vs Christie Hemme.....
Richard: (sighs)
Diabolik: exactly.....
Diabolik: So Angle apparently called JB at Midnight the morning of the show and told him that he was going to one up Foley's announcement and that his announcement is going to change the face of wrestling as we know it.....go figure
Christie wins with the Flying Firecrotch Guillotine....
(sigh)
Richard: I am confused at the name of .... oh....that's.....wow
Diabolik: We were considering talking more about Christie's win...but I decided I didn't care....
Richard: One might thought they would have had a regular X-Division match to kick this HD episode off...you know, some eye-popping, high flying action...but you know...that's just me.
Diabolik: Well, Flying Firecrotches in HD wasn't enough of an eye catching event?
JB is sitting down with Angle and he says that he made some calls to important people
Richard: Lol, if those eyes want to catch vd maybe...
Diabolik: LOL
Richard: What's Booker's problem? He needs speech therapy.
Diabolik: Booker is in the same room as JB and Angle.....and he says he is from Africa......and yet also from Houston Texas.....
Nash is there too......at least I can understand Nash.....Booker keeps repeating RESPECT in his retarded accent....
Richard: Apparently, Nash doesn't get any....respect...sorry had to d it
Diabolik: Yay! We are getting another New Blood angle.....like we did in WCW.....which worked so well then.....
Richard: I don't remember the outcome, what happened that time?
Diabolik: Hmmm...let's see....Eric Bischoff tried to ban together all of the newer talent against the veterans to take over control of the company to shape it in a new way....but it was all new guys vs established guys.....
Richard: So, i'm assuming people didn't like that...
Diabolik: I didn't like that and I don't think that it was very well taken by the fans....this is also a little before they went out of business.....
Richard: RESSSSPPEEEEEEEEEECCCCCT!
Diabolik: So a faction of Booker, Angle, Nash and Sting?????
Damn it....
Are they going to be Team RESPECT?
Richard: ...I see, not a way to take things now....
God I hope not
Diabolik: THE MAIN EVENT MAFIA?!?!?!?!?!?!?
WHAT THE GOD DAMN FUCK?!?!?!!?
Dear God....
I quit
Richard: Wait, I heard Colin talking about that...he was all weird about it and didn't want to tell me things...
Diabolik: Yeah someone else pointed out the MEM angle but they wouldn't tell me anything else because I didn't want to know.....
Diabolik: Why does our African friend still come out to the Harlem Heat esque music and not some African themed music?
Richard: Don't know..why is he still from Houston?..and...Really, the pinky is back?
Diabolik: What the fuck is he saying? I can barely understand him
Richard: Dunno..."no more accents" just got chanted
Diabolik: What the hell....a new belt was in the suitcase?
The TNA Legends Championship.....
So is this like the FTW World Championship?
Ah thank you Christian for coming down and interrupting him....
Richard: "Double C!!!" ... and that belt looks kinda cool, but I would say have it a bit darker red...
Diabolik: or not exist at all
Richard: Indeed.
Diabolik: So we already have NWO esque invites to the Main Event Mafia to Christian......
who isn't interested.....
and Christian wants Booker to put up the Legends Title at Turning Point.....
Richard: ...it looks like Booker likes this too...
Diabolik: yeah sure....of course he does because for whatever reason having Christian....who doesn't want to join the group.....join the group makes them better.....like he wouldn't try to fuck it up from the inside anyway.....
Diabolik: Lauren is talking to Matt Morgan and Abyss about the Tag Team Text match (which when she first said it I was trying to figure out if you won by texting faster than the other people)
Richard: lol...It's good to see Double J back on the show, well, for me not having seen this is so long anyway.
Diabolik: JB is up with Jeff Jarrett talking about how Jarrett won't wrestle Angle again....
Richard: The Middle Eastern Nightmare, or "Divari", looks pretty jacked
Diabolik: X-Division title match with Bashir vs Jay Lethal.....
He does.....
Richard: Are you F'ing serious!!! That short?
Diabolik: ?????
Did I just blink and miss that match?
Lethal misses a fucking elbow off the top rope, Bashir comes over and DDTs him and that is the match?
there was like 4 wrestling moves.....
damn it.....it was for a damn title
Richard: I'm calling somebody was hurt before this match.
Diabolik: Let's see.....(rewinding the recording)
Diabolik: I don't see it.....could be...I just don't see it......(still reviewing the tape)
Diabolik: That whole match from bell to bell was 1:50.....
slowly becoming WWE.....
Richard: If that was planned, I just don't see how that highlights one of, if not THE best part of TNA.
Diabolik: Unless they were running long.....
Richard: It's the X division that got me into TNA in the first plac
Diabolik: i know....
but if they were running long why cut the best part of the company? Cut the interviews.....
Richard: Agreed.
Diabolik: Lauren talks with AJ Styles and Samoa Joe about the MEM (God I will hate writing that) and how that will affect the match of Styles/Joe vs Booker/Nash.....
Diabolik: Joe goes off about how he is going to hurt any of the MEM if they get in his way.....
Diabolik: So Rhino is all up in Bashir's face.....accepts his challenge and says he will deport him.....when did Rhino become an INS agent (that and the fact that he is a legal US citizen)
Richard: Isn't anyplace, also anywhere Rhino?
Diabolik: Bashir kicks him in the balls and beats on him.....
Diabolik: So the Hardcore Tag Team Gauntlet Match is next.....Beer Money Inc and Team 3D start it off......they are telling people to text in with what weapon should be legal in this match.....Ladder, Table or Chairs......IN A FUCKING HARDCORE MATCH
Richard: Can I text to have you guys stop doing his?
Diabolik: I wish.....if only we had watched this 6 months ago.....
Richard: Indeed.
Diabolik: Oh, So it was actually Roode and Brother Ray that started out and the next person in was James Storm.....
I missed the fact that it was a singles elimination match that will turn into a tag team match some how.....
Next in is D-Von......
Next in is Hernandez...
Richard: "Super Mex?"
Well, he is pretty ridiculous...
Diabolik: They have been calling him that because he jumps over the top rope every match.....
Next in is Homicide
Richard: ahhh, gotcha. Gotta tell you though, we're what, halfway in and now FINALLY seeing some good stuff?
matt morgan looks like he bathed himself in oil
Diabolik: He did.
Morgan comes down and eliminates Homicide and D-Von and Hernandez....
Morgan gets eliminated because he was trying to tell Abyss not to come to the ring.....
Tables are legal in a hardcore match.....
Yay!
shocker
Richard: Of course they are... and of course 3D likes this
Diabolik: Will I get a flaming table?!?!?
Richard: In HD?
Diabolik: Charcoal lighter fluid
ECDub chants
Richard: It's going on!
Diabolik: Team 3D left their lighter at home.... and lighters flying into the ring
This time they are letting the lighter fluid evaporate
So Abyss gets eliminated.....
I am so confused as to the rules for this match
and now it is Beer Money and 3D
and a We Want Fire chant
oh, what a waste of lighter fluid
they broke the table without lighting it
Beer Money Inc wins
Richard: No revenge for Abyss...I'm sad...and it looks like no fire...and a cheap end.
Richard: Does Kurt's entrance video tag him as the "Greatest Wrestler in the World"?
Diabolik: That is totally not true that the Angle from the previous week was unlike any we had ever seen......we saw him flip out in the WWE
and yes it does.....they tagged him that when he debuted
Richard: I suppose it would have been true...in 1996...Don't get me wrong, i like the dude, but, um...yeah
Diabolik: yeah well.....what can I say.....
Angle says once again that he is going to go to Jarrett's house to talk to his kids......
Jarrett shows up and says that they have the finest talent in the world and he has no business being in the ring......
which could be true.....
Richard: He names all the talent that should matter as well, if something goes down, Double J could be the one vet that stands with the "Young Guys" or whatever they may wind up being called.
Diabolik: Abyss is standing in the ring behind Angle....they go at it....Blackhole Slam attempt and Angle gets out....
Richard is offline. Messages you send will be delivered when Richard comes online.
So Rich had to leave before we could finish watching the show. So now you get just the Diabolik rant.....
Kong and Saieed are in the back bitching at Lauren...they are sick and tired of taylor Wilde....I still think this is a different person behind the veil....very americanish accent on the accent....too much emphasis on the rolling r's....
JB is with Taylor Wilde....I hate her hair....Taylor says that Kong has to end her career in order to take the title from her....Ooooooooooo....
Kong is on the way to the ring....Whoopee!...Cut to a commercial and then Taylor
Wilde comes out....Whoopee!....Yeah I am so totally stoked for this match....A chant for Lets go Taylow Lets go Kong.....interesting...the crowd is really into this....Kong wins the title with an Awesome Bomb....
...Dear god...more Main Event Mafia....Sting and Nash come to the ring for the Main Event....they come out to Sting's music.....Samoa Joe comes down....Then AJ Styles....I wonder how Nash feels about needing to enter with Sting's music....at least the MEM doesn't have entrance music yet....I give it a week....
AJ squares off against Nash which is a great juxtaposition of sizes....Nash ends up smashing Joe with the Title belt and pins him for the win...and then they play his music....I guess it didn't matter that he didn't have his music while coming down....Aj starts fighting off both Nash and Sting and then Jow stands up and puts Nash in a choke....Booker comes down and hits Style with the Legends belt....
We get Foley after that....
Foley is talking about how he made a lot of money and Jarrett told him he should make an investment....then the MEM comes out to interrupt....Ironically they had just been out....Angle starts talking shit to Foley....about Foley saying Kurt was shit....Angle headbutts Foley....Now Foley is a major shareholder in TNA....Ooooo....cause I didn't see that coming....though I thought they were going to make him a commissioner for the gimmick.....Foley tries to imitate Vinny Mac in the "You're Fired" voice by telling Angle that he is fried etc.....Foley wants to know if Angle wants to be a part of history or be history.....
So yeah....I'm not sure if Foley's Announcement really "crossed the line" or not.....but whatever...he is a part of TNA now and we will see what that brings....
So wow....a TNA Live event on tv and that is what we got? An NWO esque respect posse? A new title, because we never see enough fucking titles on a show....and no fire....I think Mick wept a little from seeing all that lighter fluid go to waste....
I have no idea how many more shows I have to get through before April 19.....and our apologies for Rich not being able to ramble back and forth with me....something about him needing to pick up his wife from work....
So how goes it Rich?
Richard: It's goin...been a while since I've actually watching any TNA programing, and I'm interested to see what I've missed. Work, life in general and a great deal of other things have kept me away. But with the new Lockdown coming up, and the fact that we'll be there for it, I'm kinda hyped! Looks like we're ready to go here, we've got the first TNA in HD set up in front of us, and it looks like it might be a big one. It's in Las Vegas, and although it happened a while ago, looks like it may have been shot and shown live, so that's cool. Haven't had one of those since the two hour special, or so I've just been told. I'm also a sucker for HD, so I'll be looking forward to catching that on my TV after the catch-up, and of course if I have Spike HD on my FiOS box. Guess now all that's left is to hit play!
Diabolik: The Beautiful People...Wooo....can I sound more apathetic?
I'm sure they were the center of attention in Las Vegas....they look kind of like hookers....
Richard: Didn't know Kip was involved with this...even though I read his name in the catch-up. Wow, what's up with that? Yeah...they do kinda look like that.
Diabolik: Oh...so you just didn't get that Mr. Ass was a part of The Beautiful People now?
Yeah
Hoooray for that!
Sarcasm!
Richard: Is there a story that makes this any less weird?
Diabolik: No....but now they are using paper bags with Kip's face on them......on women.....
So Velvet Sky vs Christie Hemme.....
Richard: (sighs)
Diabolik: exactly.....
Diabolik: So Angle apparently called JB at Midnight the morning of the show and told him that he was going to one up Foley's announcement and that his announcement is going to change the face of wrestling as we know it.....go figure
Christie wins with the Flying Firecrotch Guillotine....
(sigh)
Richard: I am confused at the name of .... oh....that's.....wow
Diabolik: We were considering talking more about Christie's win...but I decided I didn't care....
Richard: One might thought they would have had a regular X-Division match to kick this HD episode off...you know, some eye-popping, high flying action...but you know...that's just me.
Diabolik: Well, Flying Firecrotches in HD wasn't enough of an eye catching event?
JB is sitting down with Angle and he says that he made some calls to important people
Richard: Lol, if those eyes want to catch vd maybe...
Diabolik: LOL
Richard: What's Booker's problem? He needs speech therapy.
Diabolik: Booker is in the same room as JB and Angle.....and he says he is from Africa......and yet also from Houston Texas.....
Nash is there too......at least I can understand Nash.....Booker keeps repeating RESPECT in his retarded accent....
Richard: Apparently, Nash doesn't get any....respect...sorry had to d it
Diabolik: Yay! We are getting another New Blood angle.....like we did in WCW.....which worked so well then.....
Richard: I don't remember the outcome, what happened that time?
Diabolik: Hmmm...let's see....Eric Bischoff tried to ban together all of the newer talent against the veterans to take over control of the company to shape it in a new way....but it was all new guys vs established guys.....
Richard: So, i'm assuming people didn't like that...
Diabolik: I didn't like that and I don't think that it was very well taken by the fans....this is also a little before they went out of business.....
Richard: RESSSSPPEEEEEEEEEECCCCCT!

Diabolik's TNA Wrestling Catch-Up Part 2
Ok. As I said in a previous post that this is my attempt to watch all of the episodes and PPVs between the last time I watched TNA wrestling to the Lockdown PPV that Rich, Colin and I are going to be seeing live.
I just finished watching the last of the September Impacts and just turned on the October 9, 2008 Impact.
I also talked to Rich and he said I won't ruin anything if I post "spoilers" for him. While they can't really be spoilers because they happened over 6 months ago, I wanted to make sure that he wasn't smacked in the face.
Ok, so in the drama of Samoa Joe winning the World Title and then fighting Booker T and etc.....we currently are building up to Samoa Joe vs Sting at Bound for Glory. Jeff Jarrett is back after a 2 year Hiatus due to a variety of things including his wife's passing away.
So September 18, 2008 marks the announcement that Mick Foley is coming to TNA. The following Impact (September 25) marks nothing about Foley except that he will be in the building the following show. I think this is the same episode where you find out that the Tag Team Invitational is going to be a Monster's Ball Match and Abyss flips out because he isn't supposed to use weapons (which I must say is a good move since it moves him out of the genre of "monster" who will come down with barbed-wire kitchen sinks and stuff and makes him be a "wrestler"). I honestly watched this one so late and forgot to write about it so I can't remember much, but I think that Kurt Angle starts shit talking Jeff Jarrett into making a match between the two of them at Bound for Glory.
October 2, 2008 marks the announcement of Mick Foley being the special enforcer for the Jeff Jarrett vs Kurt Angle match. My thoughts are this: If you are bringing Mick into this company for longer than 1 month, why the fuck isn't he in the Monster's Ball Match with like Terry Funk or just about anyone else? Why is he the guest enforcer? I mean if he doesn't want to wrestle that is one thing, but come on. You are paying a man so that you can promote his name which is known for falling off cages and losing an ear and stuff. Now he gets to point sternly at the participants and tell them "No no, you can't do that?" I know the reality is that he is going to get involved and either screw over JJ or Kurt, but still.....I want to see TNA use their money to promote great matches.....but I digress.
Um....that's all I can really remember. From this point on I think I am going to run a pseudo recap like I used to read for WCW when I couldn't tape it and give the breakdowns of the shows as they happen.....or I might just not care enough and just point out the things of note.
And I want to point out the irony of me saying that. I think that TNA has better young smaller wrestlers than WWE and I think they are in a position to showcase them better than they can the Heavyweights. I like TNA for the wrestling and sometimes the storylines. I have been fed up with WWE programming for so long that I vowed to take a year off from watching it, and if I watch Wrestlemania this year and can predict 75% of the match outcomes based on the roll in footage and the crowd reactions, I am done with WWE forever. The reason I saw irony in my statement of "things of note" was because that was all I could remember because my brain has been so polluted by WWE programming to just notice the hype and skip the midcard. The midcard is the best wrestling that TNA (and WWE most of the time) has in it's arsenal.
So with that said (and I think it makes sense....I kind of lost track of where I was going at some point) I am turning on the October 9 2008 Episode of Impact to see the last show leading up to Bound for Glory.
More to come.....

Diabolik's TNA Wrestling Catch-Up
Ok, in my hiatus of not watching WWE programming I have also been slacking on watching TNA. But Colin RIch and I are planning on heading over to the PPV in Philly on April 19th (I think it is Lockdown, but I'm not sure).
I've been recording all of the TNA stuff as it airs and now I am trying to catch up so I know where the ompany stands when I walk into that building....
I just watched the Impact from September 18, 2008 and all I have to say is screw the first hour and 45 minutes of it. THe last 15 or so minutes was well worth it.
I am trying not to spoil things for Rich as I know he reads the blog and wants to catch up too.
If he gives clearance that he doesn't care I will start posting what I think of the episodes as I watch them and catch up to the recent stuff...
26 Days to watch 30 episodes and 7 PPVs is a ton of wrestling.....
