IMPACT Thread 01/30/14: The new investor? IT'S YERSEL!!!

[Steveweiser]

Well, WE'RE not the new TNA investor, but the person who actually is will be revealed tonight, coming direct from the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, at a special time for fans in the UK - it'll air shortly after it's recorded from 9pm tonight on Challenge TV (on at the normal time of 9/8c on Spike). Just who was it that went behind Dixie Carter's back to sign Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards to TNA contracts, kickstarting what's claimed to be a hostile takeover of TNA? Find out tonight!

The only match confirmed for tonight's show will see the Bro Mans defend their Tag Team Titles against Eric Young and the current TV Champion, The Monster Abyss. With Joseph Park absent, and the Monster unleashed, what hope do Robbie E and Jessie Godderz have in holding on to their titles?

On last week's finale to Genesis, TNA World Heavyweight Champion Magnus defeated the Icon Sting, and then tore up his TNA contract, seemingly ending Sting's tenure in the company. The TNA website reports that we will see footage recorded last week after Genesis, with Sting saying his goodbyes. What will be the fallout from all this?

All this, and a feeling that the fans in Glasgow will hijack the show with chants for ICW and Grado, tonight first on Challenge, and then on Spike!

I opened this thread hoping that the new investor would in fact be Grado, based on the title. Hopefully the crowd will do their part in spreading the joys of Grado across the world.

ICW, ICW, ICW repeat until hoarse.

opening chords too Madonna Like a Prayer ring out, and here's GRADO

grado entrance **warning 1200 drunk Scots

ICW = Edgy and Loud. Popular at the moment.

Disrupting a TNA show = Previously attempted by JCW, Is not edgy, is not cool and paying for tickets to be a dick in the crowd might be the biggest waste of money ever.

In conclusion, this will look bad for ICW in my opinion. I'm a fan but really this will translate as Scottish fans and ICW fans being attention seeking twats. This is not the way to go about things.

[jagilki]

quick question.

Will this be airing at the same time for you UKers as in the States? Before? After?

If before, should us Americans avoid this thread then?

As I posted in the OP, it airs at 9pm here (4pm US EST), then at 9/8c in the States. It's actually not live here either, they'll start taping from 7:30pm.

And I know there's ICW WRESTLERS in attendance - just saw that Kay Lee Ray is going.

[jagilki]

ah.

For us yanks don't forget the COPS preshow at 8 EST.

[Rave]

Taz noted on Twitter he is not in Scotland and will be live Tweeting during tonight's Impact taping. The show will begin taping shortly in Glasgow at the Hydro. It will air live in Europe and via taped delay here in the United States.

Jeremy Borash will be joining Mike Tenay in the announcing booth.

DAMMIT!!! what happened to challenge on TV catchup? that's how i was planning to watch

[FinalGwen]

Haha, the commentators talking about Scottish Independence in the context of Magnus being booed is rather amusing.

[Deleted]

Magnus trolling Scotland is magnificent.

[FinalGwen]

Is it just me, or does this seem like a direct reaction to what's happening in WWE?

(Also a great promo.)
