The Temple
From the roof of the Temple, Dario Cueto approaches Aerostar while he is gazing out into the heavens. Cueto reminds Aerostar that Drago gets his inspiration from the depths of hell. If Aerostar sees a shooting star, he should make a wish. Be careful what you wish for though. Everything in his Temple has a price.

Over in Dario Cueto’s office, Prince Puma and Konnan are there. Dario wants this trios title to be a big deal, so he even wants the champ Puma to pick a couple partners for a tournament match next week. One of their opponents in that match will be King Cuerno who Cueto has chosen to face Prince Puma tonight in the main event – for the Lucha Underground title. Two title defenses in three weeks!

Your hosts are Todd Keneley, Mike Tenay, and Tazz. I like Keneley. He adds a bit of personality to the play-by-play that Mike Tenay lacks. As in WCW, Tenay works best as the third guy who makes the intelligent comments. Read the rest of this entry

TNA always manages to make quality PPV intro videos. They made it easy to like too by showing you a lot of the history and most of the promotion’s biggest moments.

It’s still TNA iMPACT! to me, folks. This will be the only TNA review from 2011 that I will do, so don’t get excited, you one TNA fan there. Unless they do Sting v. Flair XXXVII! That will be the one to finally settle the score!
Now you’re probably asking yourself, “Matt, why are you doing this to yourself? You should maybe talk with my therapist. He’s really good.” Well, as a long-time fan of the Stinger and the NATCHA BOY, I thought I would recap this show just for the sake of me feeling a little complete in seeing nearly every televised match they have had with each other over the past 20-something years, which leads me to another recap coming soon of the COMPLETE Sting v. Flair collection. It’s just the one-on-one stuff, people. Let’s be realistic. But you read that correctly. It is coming soon. And I’m not doing it because their matches are really any different from each other, but just because I’m such a mark for those guys. Apparently, so are the people in TNA because this match – if we are all honest with ourselves – should not be happening on cable TV in 2011.
Your hosts are a 57 year-old wrestling nerd and his wingman: the brown gnome who wears extremely dark sunglasses indoors as if IMPACT WRESTLING’s pyro included atomic bomb testing. Read the rest of this entry
