NWA-TNA on Spike TV!
NWA-TNA is looking awesome. I watched it Saturday night (actually I Tivo'd/DVR'd it - and watched it last night). It is on Spike TV from 11pm to 12am Saturdays.
I think the interest may be back for me - I've been a long time fan of wrestling going back to Hogan/Andre in Wrestlemania 3. I've watched off and on since that time period and it looks like it's on again!
I've been fishing around the NWA-TNA for a couple of years now...I never really wanted to get into paying weekly to see it so I never put the time into it.
It reminds me of ECW alot. The reason being they put the danger back in move sets that the pussified WWE won't permit their wrestlers to perform. (They want them to get their 280 shows a year out of them and not be injured). Crazy flips, dangerous finishing moves, pile drivers and an insane crowd atmosphere.
Feartured Wrestlers:
Ex-Buffalo Bill Monty Brown aka "The Alpha Male" is on there with his finishing move "The Pounce" (which looks like it's a variation of a no grabbing one on one stand up tackle)
Some names you know from ECW, WCW & WWE:
Kevin Nash
Jeff Jarret
Tag team - The Dudleys aka 3-D
New tag team 3 Live Crew (made up of Road Dogg aka BG James, Konan and K-Kwick aka Ron Killings)
Rhino
Sabu - who looks absolutely ancient but he can still pull it off.
Jeff Hardy
They have a high fliers division called the "X" Division with 5 or 6 wrestlers..most of the names escape me at the moment.
One dude on there is named the Canadian Destroyer with a finishing move of the same name. This finishing move starts off in the pile driver position, he full frontal flips the opponent and lands in the finishing pile driver seated position bouncing his opponent across the ring - it is a sick move!
AJ Styles is one of the favs, has a great variety of movesets and one that I've had my eye on for awhile now - He has a move that begin as a backflip off the 2nd rope where he catches his opponent in a reverse DDT. It rules.
The story lines are so-so and rehashed but the wrestling is entertaining.
If you get the chance and you like wrestling - give this a shot!
...and the WWE has moved back to USA Network. I've tried a couple of times to get back into them but to no avail. With their "no injury" policy they've relied heavily on storylines that just don't do it for me. I hope NWA-TNA gets big enough where it goes head to head with WWE...only time will tell!
