After what happened this past week during the Eric Bischofff appreciation ceremony, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair has promised to call out General Manager Hulk Hogan to address what happened.

Before their World Heavyweight Championship bout at Sacrifice, Bobby Roode and Rob Van Dam will pick each other's opponents on the huge broadcast.

As a preview to matches that will take place at Sacrifice, AJ Styles teams with World Tag Team Champions Samoa Joe and Magnus to face Kurt Angle, Christopher Daniels and Kazarian.

In Knockouts tag team action, Knockouts Champion Gail Kim and Madison Rayne face Velvet Sky and Brooke Tessmacher.


A few thoughts from the announcements so far.

Hopefully the Flair/Hogan segment doesn't last as long as the one at Lockdown did and doesn't end with Flair throwing his shoes into the crowd and elbow dropping his jacket. That being said, it probably will, and I continue to worry that they're building to some sort of Hogan/Flair match, something I really don't want to see in 2012.

It'll be interesting to see who Roode and RVD pick for each other to face. I'd have to think Roode will go for someone tough like Bully Ray who could potentially wound RVD before their match and RVD will go for Garett Bischoff, because he "respects" him now. I'd love to see Roode kill Garett though.

Jognus and Styles vs. Angle & the Penis Heads? I'm in, if that one's given some time it could kick some major ass. Nice to see the hotness in the ring with the KO's tag match, and something tells me we'll see yet another Tessmacher upset to continue her mini-push which will result in her inevitable loss to Kim at Sacrifice.

Looks like a decent show on paper, and we should get a Devon TV Title defense as well. The question is...who will it be against? I open the floor to you for your thoughts and look forward to seeing you all here on Thursday night for the coolest LD on the interwebz.

[King James]

I'm pretty excited about the Knockout's tag for some odd reason. Guess my sex drive is higher than usual, I dunno, but I will say this~!... I quite look forward to the six-man as well and as far as I know it's not because of my sex drive.

[The Linebacker]

IMPOCKT~!

[Fuji Vice]

That was very mean, doing that to Eric.

[King James]

LET'S DO IT!!

[Fuje Vise]

Hulk Hogan... sigh.

[Fuji Vice]

I assume Flair will be elbow dropping his $1000 shirt and tossing his $2000 shoes into the crowd in about 7 minutes.

[King James]

Who doesn't love the Naitchuh Buay?

[Sabretooth]

Who's here?

Present.

[Sabretooth]

I assume Flair will be elbow dropping his $1000 shirt and tossing his $2000 shoes into the crowd in about 7 minutes.

i was thinking 5

[Fuje Vise]

Who doesn't love the Naitchuh Buay?

The Hulkster, brother!

[Sabretooth]

Yeah who was it that tried to take over tna. Hulk...

[Fuje Vise]

Mr. Hogan seems to forget why it was called "Immortal"...

[Sabretooth]

Oh really longer than wwe. You've only got 70 years to go

[King James]

That entire promo was basically wasted for Flair to just come out and say "I'll do it" with almost no resistance..

[Fuje Vise]

The Nature talent scout? Hells yes! Sign me up.

[Fuji Vice]

KO's next? Count me in.

[King James]

That being said, the lotion, tissues, and burlap sack are all set for our next match...

[Fuje Vise]

KO's next? Count me in.

Me too! :nodsmile:

[King James]

Off topic, I really want to see Safe. Being a huge fan of the Crank series and Death Race, this seems like a sweet movie.

[King James]

Oh and here's hoping Crimson doesn't show his face tonight... by the way..

[King James]

Sky vs. Tessmacher next week...

[Fuji Vice]

[Sabretooth]

Yeah we all know Brooke is gonna get a shot only to lose

[Fuje Vise]

Please girls, stay away from the mic.

[Fuje Vise]

Madison and Gail! My lovelies!

:fap:

[King James]

I used to think Brooke was super unappealing in the face, but she's not too bad off these days. The face doesn't compare to the body, but it's not bad.

Let the pigeons loose!

..by the way.

[Sabretooth]

Ok now my dick is all the way up

[King James]

Oh I see. I was waiting for Impact to start at 7 tonight, I'm not going to lie. Well for once TNA announced something important I guess.

[Fuji Vice]

I think Gail's top isn't revealing enough.

[Fuje Vise]

Eight O'Clock? Fuck that. Ugh.

[King James]

Alex Silva sucked, also. Not the least bit impressed.

[Fuji Vice]

Can't wait to see Brooke lose at Sacrifice.

[King James]

I actually enjoyed that ending. I mark for finshers being used against the users of them, for some odd reason.

[Fuje Vise]

A reversal Eat Defeat? Holy shit, that was a good finish. Nice.

[King James]

Pick your poison for RVD and Roode. I can dig that. I'm afraid though that Roode will choose Crimson and then RVD will choose Anderson, or something terribly stupid like that.

[Fuji Vice]

Pick your poison for RVD and Roode. I can dig that. I'm afraid though that Roode will choose Crimson and then RVD will choose Anderson, or something terribly stupid like that.

If I was Roode, I'd pick Ray, as I mentioned above. However you're right, I can totally see them picking Crimson...and putting him over as well.

[King James]

I'd also like to mention that I think Joe and Mahnus as faces is a great call. I've seen them both as heels before, and this is a way fresher way to go with them.

[Fuje Vise]

I'm super pumped for the tenth anniversary. Fuck all the haters who said we'd never make it here.

[Fuji Vice]

RVD totally sounds like a heel with this promo.

[Sabretooth]

RVD is really full of himself :lol:

[Sabretooth]

RVD totally sounds like a heel with this promo.

i was thinking that to but he's not.

[Fuje Vise]

Bobby is pretty pimp. I'm actually diggin' the hair now.

[Fuje Vise]

RVD totally sounds like a heel with this promo.

TBH I don't think he understands the difference. The entire time he was in ECW he floated in between babyface and heel without ever changing how he cut promos or how he acted.

[Sabretooth]

Ok great I fuckin have to go to bed. See ya

[Fuje Vise]

Why would Bobby put all his chips on Hardy?

[Fuje Vise]

Ok great I fuckin have to go to bed. See ya

Why? :lol:

G'night.

[Fuji Vice]

Ok great I fuckin have to go to bed. See ya

POST....OF....THE.....YEAR!!

[King James]

Why was Robby T giving Devon CPR?

[King James]

How is it that he goes over clean on Gunner and Bully, but not Rob Terry?

[King James]

I never marked for Brother Love... woulda preferred Dutch Mantel or Terry Taylor. Who could forget such legends as Uncle Zebekiah and The Red Rooster?

Though I'm not sure on either of their contractual statuses with TNA.. honestly.. but still.

[Fuji Vice]

How is it that he goes over clean on Gunner and Bully, but not Rob Terry?

Very bizarre indeed.

Plus if I was Robbie T I'd be pissed at Robbie E for screwing up my title shot.

[Fuje Vise]

How is it that he goes over clean on Gunner and Bully, but not Rob Terry?

Wish I fucking knew. This whole run doesn't make much sense to me.

[King James]

That's also a good point, Fuji... rather perplexing...

[Fuji Vice]

That's also a good point, Fuji... rather perplexing...

Meh. I'm just going to take another drink and forget about it.

[King James]

Ric is obviously the best judge ever. All I can say is this Silva kid is indeed a twig, doesn't show athletic potential needed for the X Division, and didn't show me jack shit in his match.

[Fuje Vise]

I like that they're cutting the BS.

[Fuji Vice]

Ric is obviously the best judge ever. All I can say is this Silva kid is indeed a twig, doesn't show athletic potential needed for the X Division, and didn't show me jack shit in his match.

So in other words he'll be getting a contract right?

[King James]

The good news is that I was half right in my guessing the opponents for RVD and Roode.

[Fuji Vice]

Hardy looks like a printing press exploded on his face.

[Fuje Vise]

Hardy looks like a printing press exploded on his face.

I sometimes have to wonder what inspires his paint...

[Fuji Vice]

I sometimes have to wonder what inspires his paint...

Drugs.

[Fuje Vise]

Drugs.

Oh, right, I forgot.

Yep, he's clean.

[Fuje Vise]

Bully Ray is my idol.

[Fuji Vice]

Please kick Borash's ass Bully Ray.

[King James]

Yeah shit, it's Aries homies. I was hoping they didn't drop this feud.

[Fuje Vise]

"Blubba Ray"! :lol:

That is the Greatest Man That Ever Lived.

[King James]

Glad this feud hasn't died out, that's all I'll say.

[Fuji Vice]

That was a ballshot heard round the world.

[King James]

Is it just me or are Kazarian and Daniels totally jacking Hawkins and Recks' schtick? Nevertheless, I enjoy their promos these days, as well as Kurt's. I'm digging this match.

[Fuje Vise]

It's the three bald men...

"he's always winnin' matches, what's he got to pissed about?" :lol:

So true.

[Fuji Vice]

"He's always winning matches, what's he pissed about?" :lol:

[King James]

Storm can cut a damn good promo. Though, you all already know that.

[Fuji Vice]

Well.....this match should kick about 100 different kinds of ass.

[Fuje Vise]

Well.....this match should kick about 100 different kinds of ass.

Just 100?

Anyone think it'll be hilarious if Angle losses this after Daniels' wise crack? :lol:

[Fuji Vice]

Just 100?

Anyone think it'll be hilarious if Angle losses this after Daniels' wise crack? :lol:
ROFL, that would be great.

[Fuje Vise]

Angle is not going to be a happy camper! :lol:

[Fuji Vice]

Hasn't Daniels already been twisting the screws for weeks? :lol:

[Fuje Vise]

Styles has been heel like 5-times, please.

[Fuje Vise]

Hasn't Daniels already been twisting the screws for weeks? :lol:

You mean months? :lol:

[Fuji Vice]

You mean months? :lol:

Yeah, this is TNA's requisite "angle that won't die" right now.

[King James]

Flair totally got real on his ass.

[Fuje Vise]

This is selling oneself? What? :lol:

"Don't talk to the marks..." Flair is god.

[Fuji Vice]

Actually he showed some pretty good intensity with that promo, I'll give him that.

[King James]

That was almost an ok promo. I'll give him a shot in the X-Division before I further verbally bury him.

[Fuji Vice]

That was almost an ok promo. I'll give him a shot in the X-Division before I further verbally bury him.

He does have a long way to go, but that promo was decent and he obviously has the passion. I actually enjoyed that segment, though I still think they should do the judging right after the match.

[King James]

Good to see that Anderson has at least made a slight attempt to get himself back into shape.

[Fuji Vice]

Good to see that Anderson has at least made a slight attempt to get himself back into shape.

Yeah, now if he wasn't an awful wrestler we'd be getting somewhere with him.

[King James]

True dat. Not a bad match so far though.

[King James]

By the way, does the person who puts the chair in the middle rope ever get to utilize it to their advantage? I literally cannot remember one instance. I think once or twice someone might have side stepped a spear to use it effectively, but I don't remember who, when, or in what promotion so it pretty much is meaningless.

[Fuje Vise]

That was a nasty spiked DDT. Brutal.

I love that Bobby uses the PerfectPlex. It's a perfect fit.
