Interestingly Samoa Joe was "escorted from the building before the show"

@SamoaJoe
Currently being escorted from the premesis to avoid a incident on the companies "big night".. Riiight, enjoy the show

For once, I am actually going to skip through the results and watch it outright - heard it was pretty good.

I wonder what the Samoa Joe thing was all about.

Nothing on google.....

It sounds better. I just dont have time to watch it, i barely even have time to watch WWE. Not sure what to make of the whole 'Gutcheck' thing though. I like the concept but not sure if the 'judges' are big enough names? Maybe they could have brought in an outside celeb to help it draw?

On another note, having looked at your website Adam, isnt it funny how you get an idea of what someone might look like but couldnt be more wrong. You and Hero look nothing like i imagined!

Its true, we must all do it, build an imagine in our mind of all the users, and no doubt way off the mark

Dare I ask what you thought I looked like?

Please say Mick Foley!

More Dude Love to be honest!

bretmeharty strikes me as a Spike Dudley kind of character....

Trying to get me to bite are ya, It wont work H

Just a bit of Friday afternoon banter mate.

Thing is you dont even have an idea of what someone would look like but even when you see a photo its not what you'd expect, although you didnt really have an idea in the first place. Does that make sense?!

I like the humour though mate, keep it up you make this board tic

Some would say otherwise!

Mr H I see as Mideon when he went through his naked gimmick, well I did the other night anyway when he was on chat roulette.

God damn you Gavin, that was between me and you!

Our trust, it is OVER!

CrippledFart was Gavin, who we imagined looks like Neil from The Young Ones.

I can't grow facial hair. It looks like i allowed dead mice to live on my face.

I can't drink wine as last time i threw up out of my old 3rd storey windows and had to have someone clean it all up.

But whatever floats your boat man, i'm not prejudice or out.

Mr H is black by the way.

Only messen beer, i have a very dry sense of humour, Mr H is black - wow that can not be further from what i thought

I was the same. I imagined so poncey looking pretty boy with a jewardesque haircut but instead i found a Gary Colemab lookalike.

That has shattered everything i know, ill be honest

i think the Joe thing is a work like when he tweeted about Japan....i think they are trying to freshen him up by giving him the 'i dont care' angle

cant believe he didnt get his contract on gutcheck - he was miles better that silva

Was it just me who thought the whole GutCheck segment could lead to an angle with Taz and the 70s porno guy?

is there any change to the time it is on challange?

No - its still at the same time.

I asked the question on the interview I did with Dixie - she wants to get it live though. Its one of the last few questions of the interview (about the 1hour 50 mark)

Same old problems you watch one episode think its good, then the next has bugger all to do with the first.

Slack.

Care to give examples?

The Samoa Joe v Aries match at Slammiversary has been pulled from the TNA website with no reason given as to why.

Possibility that the Joe incident isn't a work then? He's been known to shoot his mouth in front of a crowd before (Scott Hall no showing).

King Beer wrote:I was the same. I imagined so poncey looking pretty boy with a jewardesque haircut but instead i found a Gary Colemab lookalike.

I'm sure I'm not the only black poster on this board. Not a problem for you guys is it?

Did you not know the sites original name was Aryan-super-race.org?

I got really bored a few months ago with it and gave up on impact but I watched the London shows and I watched this one based on the positive response on here.

And it was good! Not much has changed, but it was good.

First I've seen of the gut check thing and I liked it. It came across very real and i'm glad they didn't give him a contract, I thought he looked like an absolute idiot.

A few questions.. Kurt Angle didn't stay heel long then? How did they turn him back? And is the Abyss' brother character just Abyss in a suit? (hated that section, his facial expressions were ridiculous)

There's a couple of rumors going about that WWE had made an approach for Joe and that he told TNA where to shove it when they offered a new contract worth less. Don't be surprised if he's out the door of TNA very soon

It'll be a shame if he does go. I always liked Big Joe. Didn't say much - but then he never needed to...his psychotic expression spoke volumes.

Agile for a big guy and always put on a great show in the ring. I really liked his stint with Magnus as tag team champions but he always had presence as a singles fighter too. I can see why WWE would be interested in him.

Unfortunately TNA seem to have more wrestlers than they know what to do with and this looks like one big fish who is slipping through their net.
