I don't mind TAZ joining them as long as he is not the leader. It was most def. unexpected.

This weeks episode was great, complete opposite from last.

Kenny King and Christian York are both good, keep putting them on TV.

Austin Aries & Bobby Roode teaming up is great, they are natural together. I like that they already shifted their attention towards the tag champions and that Christopher Daniels now has a shot to be in the main title scene.

This was the best job they have done using Aces & 8's since it started getting stale. No pointless long drawn out segments, they just showed up at the end and made an impact. The way Taz became a member was cool, I'm pretty interested in seeing if they can build off any of this at all next week.

You thought it was cool? I thought it was so poorly executed. I think it's cool that Taz joined but the execution was off. I mean, if Taz was going to jump in and say anything it should have been when the priest asks if anyone has an objection. Him jumping in and saying something at the time he did was off. Second, they should have waited to reveal his vest till the guys came down and attacked Bully and then pull off his jacket.

Followed by Taz picking Bully up and giving him one of his suplexes.

Yeah like I said before, Tazz looked like a bad ass after he took off his jacket. Very nWo esque. I agree that it should of been done before the "I do's" though.

It should be noted that it was about 5 am local time when I was watching this, so I may have been a little nice in my judgement. The way Taz flipped over could have been executed better, but I wouldn't say it was bad. And the episode as a whole wasn't filled with Aces n 8's nonsense as usual so I was in a pretty good mood heading into the ending.

Taz is sort of botchy at this stage of his career anyway, I wouldn't be surprised if he was suppost to speak up a little earlier and forgot where he was suppost to jump in. All in all I came away feeling interested in what's going to happen next week, which is more than what I can say about any other episode in the last 2 months at least.

Reading this thread made me take a peek at the wedding on Youtube.

Everyone was 100% expecting something to happen during the portion that you guys are speaking of. Every movie has someone stand up & object when the preacher asks that question. The moment that Taz did it was perfect, IMO. Nobody expected it to happen at that very moment.

That being said, Hulk & Brooke Hogan are garbage actors & they need to be fired immediately. I'm still not sitting down with the kid to watch until they are gone.

Did you see the size of the list? It's massive, and after an initial skim, I didn't see anyone I recognize. And I know the PWG, DGUSA, Chikara and RoH rosters fairly well. Those are the big 4 Indy promotions.

So who knows, the Tower could have been on there.


I've since discovered that Davina Rose, Corey Graves, and Mercedes KV are all on the list... All of which are under WWE contract. Yikes. TNA...

TNA is the worst wrestling company ever. There's 300+ names on this least, and they use real names so you have no chance of recognizing anyone unless you click on every... single... name. How do they expect anyone to vote on this?

...The same way they expect people to actually enjoy a Bully Ray-Brooke Hogan wedding...(hey, at least Bully finally stopped talking about his calves)

There are a few ways to defend most of TNA's stupid ass decisions, but how can anyone defend that list?

"Hey, let's just break kayfabe completely and have people vote for their real life friends. Who cares if wrestling fans recognize any of these names!"

One of the stupidest things I've seen from TNA and the that list of things is long.
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsled time!
