A great only-in-TNA moment. VKM really did go to the Alamo, but they went on I believe a Saturday afternoon to tape. They had claimed Wednesday at high noon. Well, a bunch of fans actually went to the Alamo that Wednesday at high noon, so when they showed up not only was Shawn Michaels not there, but VKM had no-showed as well.
A two-hour taped show the Monday Raw is pre-empted for the Westminster Dog Show looks to be a go.
Notes from the tapings Monday night. They were said to be boring overall. Building was full to start but 1/4 of the place left by the end of the first show (so many that they stopped the taping to move people across to where the hard cameras were pointed), and the place was half full by the end of the second show. There were complaints of huge gaps between segments. Tons of talking and almost no wrestling (about 15 minutes total over 120 minutes). Bob Backlund was there all day acting insane. He was running around the park in his bow-tie yelling at people, and then ran into the crowd during the show freaking out. They did a cage match with barbed-wire around the top, and one of the pylons fell off at one point and nearly landed in the crowd. The people saw it coming and got out of the way. I predicted on the radio show that TNA wouldn’t save Christian’s surprise consultant until the PPV but would rather reveal it free on TV, which of course is what they did (when making predictions with TNA, I always try to think of the stupidest thing or the thing that’s worst for business, and Russo never lets me down). It was basically two whacky shows where almost nothing built up towards the PPV.
The crowd was said to be bored by the big announcement of Abyss’ secret at the last set of tapings as well. “All talking, no wrestling,” said someone who was there Monday night.
Lockdown 2007, the all-cage show, will be taking place at the Family Arena in “St. Louis” on April 15th. The reason I put St. Louis in quotation marks is because if you go to St. Louis looking for the Family Arena, you’re not going to find it, because the Arena is actually in St. Charles, MO. I guess St. Louis just SOUNDS cooler. They’re be doing a Fan Axxess deal as well where you can meet the stars. On-sale date is February 16th and they’re doing an autograph session that day as well.
A ton of guys in TNA have come to the conclusion that Angle is insane, and several folks have said that they used to love the guy and now they can’t stand him. He’s really rubbed people the wrong way with his claims that he’s the best wrestler and shooter to ever live, plus all of his crazy rants on the radio. One person in WWE who worked with him quite a bit insisted after hearing the Bubba show that Angle used to be a really level-headed guy.
Samoa Joe is working a show in February in a place called HUMBLE, TX.
