TNA Spoilers VII: Tapings On? Off? That's a Firm Mahabali

All of the post-TNA Bound for Glory Impact tapings were the first tapings that saw Billy Corgan have the final say in the creative direction since he took over the position of President for the company. John Gaburick had been the final decision-maker until this week. He is still involved with the creative process but Corgan was giving the final "yay" and "nays" at the tapings this week. Dave Lagana, Matt Conway and Madison Rayne are also on the creative team.

Imagine if you got your first big day of control and your first idea was "Let's put the title on Eddie Edwards"

FTFY

Damn son. I need time to recover from that burn.


You know Rosemary as Knockouts champ isn't bad. She's certainly the most over girl right now.

Ehhh, she's more tolerable than Stephanie.

I knew someone would counter with this, and I vehemently disagree. They just did an angle where she beat everyone in the division multiple times over, went in the hall of fame, won the title, and then forfeited it without putting anyone over. At the very least I can understand Stephanie being all over shows because she runs the company and is actually a good talker, but this Gail Kim constant f***ing mega push is driving me up the wall. From the minute she came back from WWE they've shown time and time again that she's above every other Knockout and it isn't even close.

Personally I can tolerate Stephanie and have even enjoyed her a few times, but Gail Kim is insufferable in my eyes.

This.

Gail is one of the most overrated wrestlers ever. Her only "credit" was being in TNA since the first years. And only because she got fired from the wwe.

Then in TNA she benefitted from great bookers like Mantell and D'Amore, but once they left she turned into shit.

Then she returned to the wwe and got exposed as nothing special. In her last match she actually tried to sabotaged it.

Calling her a hall of famer is an insult to the women who deserve it.

And they'd spend money they don't have and brought Kong, Taryn, and Hemme appear just to put her over.

Christy: Gail Kim gave woman's wrestling a chance and a home (begins to cry)

Terrell: I only knew her for a little bit but she beat us all the time but was always considerate about it (starts to cry)

Kong: I have to admit our classic encounters was all Gail's doing she's a god in the ring and I am but a peasant in her greatness (starts to cry)

Dixie: I hereby rename the Division to the Gail division.

Josh: You know what she deserves it. Bet you won't hear that in some universe.

That's how this played out in my head as I listened to that BS.

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS ON TNA'S INSANE PLAN TO CLOSE OUT THE YEAR [SPOILERS]
by Mike Johnson @ 9:35 AM on 10/11/2016

As previously reported on PWInsider.com, TNA is planning an episode of Impact Wrestling that will be filmed at the Hardy compound in Cameron, North Carolina as their final episode of the year featuring original content. The episde will be titled "Total Nonstop Deletion" and is scheduled to be filmed the first week of November.

The episode is set up by a Matt Hardy promo where he invites tag teams from around "time and space" to compete in the main event of the episode, Tag Team Apocalypto. We are told that this is going to be a Falls Count Anywhere on the compound match. During the promo, Hardy invited "The Bucks of Youth", "The Express who Rocks and Rolls", "The Bulldogs who are British" and "The Days of The New." The idea is that TNA will be bringing outside teams in for the match. We have confirmed that Jeremy Borash and Matt Hardy have been contacting outside teams over the last few days to book them for the taping.

The episode will also feature the "in-ring debut" of King Maxell, the son of Matt and Reby Hardy as well as a planned "match" between Grado and Smoking Joe Frazier, the kangaroo that appeared before "Delete or Decay" with the story being that he is the reincarnation of boxing great Frazier.

Obviously, TNA will be presenting a completely different take on pro wrestling television with this episode, taking creative license that follows "Final Deletion", "Delete or Decay", etc.

F*** it sounds great. Seems like one of those holiday episodes that has nothing to do with continuity at all and is just fun to watch. At this point you continue to bet on Matt being awesome until he fails.

Atleast we get to see Grado get his ass kick by a kangaroos before it dies.

So we get Total Nonstop Deletion from Matt's house and now he is talking about buying and getting rid of the TNA name.

...pass.

Granted, this will undoubtedly draw viewers (unless Nature herself makes taping impossible), but...then what? They'll have to convince any that watched through word of mouth to give their normal stuff a chance the following week, and I just don't see that happening.

If you read the lyrics to The Downtown, its a pretty accurate description of TNA as a whole:

I know a town where people are running
Away from life - it seems always funny
They think they are smart
Don't doubt what they say
Scared of a change
Existing only

To bring me down

Thoughtless in heart - desperate in honesty
Failed from the start - wasted and suffering
Supply them their drugs - just don't take them away
Scared of a change
Existing only

To bring me down

I don't feel like i should even worry about you
But i take the time and you push me away
I don't care too much no more
I always seem to waste my breath
Go my own way

Bring me down
Yeah, bring me down

[Talent Name]

Grado vs a Kangaroo has me rooting for the kangaroo

[Chainsaw]

I will say this for TNA, they really set up this very well being the last TNA show quite wel, with the theme of Deletion. More than likely, it ends with Matt doing something that Deletes TNA's entire history. With any luck, the episode ends with Jeff Jarrett in bed with Karen, waking up from a bad dream. Then the camera pulls out to reveal Kurt's in bed too. Then it cuts to AJ abruptly waking up from that bad dream.

So, I'm guessing they're trying to make up for the one they missed due to the Hurricane.

I really, really hope one of the teams is the Johnsons - either the original guys or just other people in the suits, doesn't matter - just so this whole thing can finally come full circle.
