    Veteran fans, explain what happened to TNA/Impact to me

    BTW, what happened to this forum? Did it also get TNA'd? I came back and it was totally redesigned and it looks like most of the members have disappeared.

    Veteran fans, explain what happened to TNA/Impact to me

    I definitely thought they had an excellent roster back in the day. Regarding WWE, I've tried to watch it and get into it but I just can't. The storylines and characters are just not that interesting. And frankly, I think part of TNA's appeal was that it was this scrappy underdog trying to...

    Veteran fans, explain what happened to TNA/Impact to me

    What exactly was the story here? I remember hearing something about him getting involved but I never knew the details. I'd really like to know, if they had never lost the Spike deal where would they be today? It really does seem like that was a pivotal moment for them. It would be...

    Veteran fans, explain what happened to TNA/Impact to me

    Awesome man, thanks for the info! I know a lot of people complain about the Bischoff/Hogan era, but that is exactly when I dropped in and I thought that was a good time. Sure, you had your older guys, but you also had plenty of younger talent as well. I still remember the very first time I...

    Veteran fans, explain what happened to TNA/Impact to me

    So here's the deal: I started watching TNA around 2010 or so just on a whim. I had been a wrestling fan as a kid but stopped paying attention in my late teens. Because I watched the UFC on Spike I became aware that there was a wrestling show that also aired on Spike and I decided to check it...

    *Spoiler Filled!* Star Wars The Last Jedi Review

    Lots and lots of contention floating around about the new Star Wars. Personally, I had an excellent time watching it in the theater but upon further reflection I have cooled on it slightly. There are definitely some questionable plot elements and Rian Johnson made some decisions that could be...

    Quentin Tarantino & Star Trek???

    Tarantino's a natural fanboy so I have to believe that he'll bring a lot of love and care to the project, but who knows what he'll actually deliver. The thing about Star Trek is that, in my opinion at least, it should be a property that is always appropriate for any viewer. So as much as I...

    The Disney-Fox Deal

    It sucks. Disney is basically becoming the Google of the film industry. They own all of their traditional properties, all the Marvel stuff, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, all the Pixar stuff, and now they own 20th Century Fox's film division. It makes me feel like an antitrust suit is coming. It...

    Atari is back!

    I was briefly excited when I saw the title . . . but then I saw that it's going to be a retroconsole. As someone who dumped a lot of money into both a Jaguar and a JaguarCD (which only got a total of about 8 games or something), I'm still a bit pissed at Atari. But a genuine resurrection could...

    Thor: Ragnarok Reviews

    It's Guardians of the Galaxy, Thor edition. But that's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't mind them taking that approach for this movie specifically, but what I don't want to see is this approach applied to everything in the MCU. And that's what I fear is going to happen.

    Justice League Reviews: Here We Go Again!

    Having seen the trailer, I can't say I'm especially excited. A huge problem of the DC movies today is the LOOK. It's not just the movies are dark in tone, they are also dark in appearance. Zack Snyder insists on a dark color palette with boatloads and boatloads of CGI. The only DC movie that...

    Are More Star Wars Prequels Really Necessary?

    Frankly, Star Wars is overrated as a franchise. Even the original trilogy only had one truly great movie, Empire Strikes Back. While I recognize that the series was groundbreaking in many ways, particularly in terms of effects, I have never fully understood how it became such a huge phenomenon...

    What Would You Do to Save TNA?

    I never sign in here and actually post anything because I'm not the wrestling fanatic that many of you guys are, but this made me LOL hard enough to actually mention it. It's so true. So there's my epic first post.
