2014 Impact Wrestling Year End Awards on Challenge

[Gecko]

I didn't see a thread about this, don't know if it's because you didn't get it in the US or just that nobody cared enough to make one.

Apparently these were all voted for by the fans.

Honestly, these are pretty laughable nominations.

[Oh Cry Me a Screwball]

They really do think the Bully Ray and Dixie Carter feud/table spot is the greatest thing they have ever done.

It would be one thing if they promoted it as merely a turning point in the company's history (although there's so many turning points in this company's history that they've got to be super dizzy by now). But they really think their fanbase will remember Dixie Carter going through the table as the definitive moment of their TNA fandom.

Screw Kurt Angle headbutting Joe, screw Unbreakable with Joe/AJ/Daniels, screw Hogan coming to TNA, screw Sting winning the TNA title. Dixie Carter got put through a table guys!!!!!

I wonder if it's some veiled statement on the fact that Daniel Bryan will never get that kind of revenge on Stephanie McMahon.

Who am I kidding... Of course it is.

I think the lint from my shirt is more valuable than those awards.

Why does everyone hate on the Dixie table thing so bad?


I've never seen it until just now, Mae Young took a much worse version of the same bump at a much older age, Dixie was pretty protected really, Bubbas ass seemed to take most the table.

Plus it made the crowd pop huge chanting the company name with all its faces stood there as it happened, seemed like the crowd ate it up.


I don't condone violence against women in real life, but in a goofy over the top cartoonish medium like pro wrestling I can forgive them not being socially sensitive, it's not on purpose, and it is about good overcoming evil.

I dunno, it just seems like the WWE regularly does stuff you could find more issue in than this.

Dixie wasn't a trained wrestler.

She got her back broken.

For some reason, the 300lb man wanting to put the middle-aged woman through a table was the face.

That's just three reasons. I'm sure someone who actually cares about this shitshow of a company could come up with more.

He slammed her full force onto the mat, lucky for her with the way her head bounced she didn't break her neck and back. Bully didn't protect her on that.

This equivalency of the trophies given out after a kids soccer game.
