There was one person out there I didn't recognize at all. Some semi-large bald black guy, was he staff or what?
And really, your twist at the end is Dixie saying "I invited them"? Sure, that could be a good twist if there was some reason for us to really think she didn't, but nothing was devloped there at all. Also, when your twist is that they were invited there by Dixie, don't zoom in on Al Snow (surprised he was there) looking surprised that the ECW people, WHICH HE IS A PART OF, were invited by Dixie.
edit: If you watch, he attacked RVD, who was fighting with the ECW guys. I think whatever the fuck Abyss is talking about has nothing to do with the ECW guys unless they lied to him. Guess we'll have to tune in next week on Thunder! I mean.. Impact!
I too was confused by this. I mean maybe Al Snow is supposed to be TNA staff, along with DLo, but you'd think he'd still know if the ECW guys he was fighting alongside were invited by Dixie.
Jesus christ, that angle is almost as old as the nWo now.
Although, I will say that TNA broke wrestling tradition with this ECW invasion. They didn't have them show up, beat people up and look like the winners in the end. It was somewhat confusing to me, but I think the TNA people looked like that at least had the upper hand at the end. Although, that is one of those cliches that is still used for a reason. No one gives a damn about an invasion if they don't show some form of dominance in their first appearance.
Wonder if they are going to keep Team 3d out of this because of their current storyline, as well I wonder if they're going to bring in Sandman and Sabu as they seem to have been in all of the other ECW invasion/reincarnation storylines.
As for 3d, Devon was helping the ECW guys, just like RVD was. Bubba tried to attack the ECW guys and was shut down quickly.
Personally I hope they don't bring in Sandman and Sabu, unless Sabu is going to accidentally set himself on fire or something.
sorta edit: To clarify D-Lo has been a road agent for like the last year or so I think, I haven't seen him on TV once up until now.
Any idea of taz's position? Didn't notice if he did anything. Though honestly I would like to see some people that don't tend to get much attention from ecw, as long as that's because they aren't in jail. I know that narrows it down.
Sometimes I think the tendancy here is to prejudge anything TNA does as bad because so many are big WWE fans. They have had some good stuff going the last month or two after the initial hiring and firing of all of Hogans worthless friends.
I like the idea of ECW as a stable in TNA even if its obvious, I like that they in turn didnt give us the obvious with Abyss. I like that they are pushing Lethal, Styles, Abyss, and other younger homegrown guys, and are being more intelligent in who they take from WWE's cast off pile. I like that they have me legitimately curious who " they" are, I feel like they for the first time have a vision and direction for the company and the booking makes some sense. The in ring action has always been a little better than WWE, it was the booking, production value and commentary that were sorely lacking. At least one of those has improved recently...really two since Taz is on commentary...though he cant really make up for the charisma black hole that is Tenay.
But i guess that can happen when they actually reveal who they are
Hawkstone, I don't think people are prejudging that anything TNA is going to do because we're WWE fans. We would prejudge what TNA does is going to suck because statistically it's in our favor to judge that way after the past few years.
TNA has done so much to improve in the past few months. Pushing Lethal AS Lethal against Flair and his group, keeping AJ in or near the main event scene, bringing up more TNA originals to get noticed and taken seriously like redoing Joe back to who he was before, not having very many WWE castoffs compaired to how it used to be. I think I've said it before but it feels like RVD works really well where he is in TNA, same with Jeff Hardy (somewhat, don't like face paint creature of the night Hardy at all), Mr. Anderson because, hell, he's entertaining and no one else gets a crowd chanting "We're all assholes" like him.
I haven't seen any of their newer PPVs, but from what I have seen I still think TNA PPVs are one of their weakest points. WWE is so very good at making a PPV feel like a special event and not just another show, even if it sucks, where with TNA it so often just feels like a more important Impact!.
And yea, I can agree not to have sandman, just surprised he's not there. Outside the ring I like him, inside he is boring. But I honestly really like Sabu. He's crazy, somewhat fast, unpredictable, and really willing to do things that could and most likely should have killed him, and for how much he fucks up I still haven't seen a situation where his botch seriously hurt someone else though I imagine one is out there.
that ramp to the ring makes wrestlers running in so awkward and looks stupid to me
and it was really sluggish at the start with like 2 guys coming to get beaten down and so on until it picked up at the end
people on TV don't lie!

You do realize you're talking about WRESTLING, right?
The WWE may be the top dog but it doesn't stop them from constantly making stupid decisions that are just plain embarrassing.
Though I guess its TNA so "LOLTNA" no matter what.
Private Message EvilBadman with your choices, do no post them in thread.

A Double Heart attack into a double pin?
Problem is that TNA is in a position where their stupidy matters more.
That is the best mark henry gif ever
