- Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan, former WCW star Gorgeous George and former ROH star Xavier were backstage at TNA's live events in Wayne, New Jersey this weekend.

- The dark match before tonight's TNA Turning Point pay-per-view saw Hamada defeat Alissa Flash. The match will likely air on Xplosion in the coming weeks.

- For those wondering, Hulk Hogan was not at the pay-per-view tonight in Orlando. He has been in Australia for several days promoting the Hulkamania tour.

STFU........... You have to admit, TNA does have some interesting, unique matches compared to WWE.    Like the one in TNA, where the wrestlers fight for a belt held up hi. Who ever gets pinned cant fight for a minute?
I am watching more TNA, now than I ever was. WWE RAW, is so, boring, I really fall asleep watching it. TNA,  atleast, I try to watch it.   Trying to watch a show, is way better, than having a show that puts you sleep where you dont even care to try to watch.

Soo, STFU,  TNA isnt all bad.            Smackdown?  Now that is the SHOW!!! lol

ur tlaking about the "King Of The Mountain  Match"

and to b honest.... there are too many gimmic matches in wrestling right now.....
why does every main title matche have to b a gimmic match???
what is wrong with putting 2 of the best wrestlers in the ring and let them have the best damn match they can without any stupid lame gimmics.....tripple threat matches are lame and boring for title matches.....

are wrestlers incapable of having decent non gimmic matches???
some are for sure *cough* AJ *Cough*
are the writers lazy
are the bookers lazy
are the fans to blame?
why are there so many gimmic matches??

the thing is a gimmic match is an easy way out for everyone....
the wresters can get away with lack of skill.... hiding it behind weapons, outside brawls, forgen objects
the writers can write any old crap without thinking about anything hiding behind the gimmic and over used speaches "the fude but end now and theres only 1 way to end it... a (inser name of gimmic) match" or the "i get a rematch claws and i get to pick the stipulation.... and its a (insert name of overused gimmic) match...
the bookers put there feet up as the gimmic match writes the end of the match itself he just has to say who win
the fans cheer cause they get to see 2 "HOLLY SH##" moments and think its the greastest thing since sliced bread....

i want classic non gimmic wrestling for the title... i want to see 2 men put there heart and soul into the match and put on the best damn match they can... IT IS possible... Undertaker v HBK is living proof of that(i know.. non the title match... sue me!)..... u just need the right 2 guys.... gimmic matches should b used sparingly.... we have been talking alot the last few days about why there are so many injuries.... i put it down to over used gimmic matches that put there body through so much hell..... there bodys are being more punished then they were in the past....

sorry

well tjors... you are entitled to your opinion... and it is just that... like what i say is my opinion... personally, i agree with scspider more... gimmick matches are not always more interesting... seriously... gimmick matches are only good when the intensity and direction of the feud dictate more than the normal match... both companies right now are way into gimmick matches... and its hurting the product...

personally, i think tna overdoes the gimmick match because they have to hide their lack of technical wrestling skill... and they choose the holy sh*t moment over storytelling through wrestling... and thats simply not for everyone... people can choose to enjoy anything they want...

thats like saying a match between two guys in a cell 1 hour limit.... knock ur opponent out n make them pin you and u win,,,, lets call it loser leaves town...... will tna hold that one? or lets make things less interesting and say knockout title and tag knockout titles on the line same side..... what started out ALL titles on the line..... they tried to make more interestin in the show.... better prep wouldve had odb with beautiful people and hamada and tara with sarita and the blond bi###.....all titles on the line still and had at least one title leave hands seeing as how theyre not doing a thing with their num 1 ratin pullers......BTW WTF up with knockout tag titles..... IMO seems like now theyre just trying to get sarita over, as I believe , and always thought tna would have a ko tag titles for TBP, but with angelina gone it seems theyre a tool to get over a trash mexi-chick and another trashy white broad..... wwe drops talent for a reason and tna will learn with the roxxi start followed by rhaka ......as well as WAY over half the knockouts... at least wwe doesnt pay for trademarks before realising trash.....

Idiot, as usual. The final two matches were a one on one and a triple threat, no gimmicks, no outside interference, two clean finishes, and the best two matches of the year since wrestlemania hbk/taker.

walloper... wtf are you talking about?... there is no direct reference to what you are talking about... tjors and i were clearly discussing the "interesting and unique matches" between tna and the WWE... we have no idea what you are talking about... a ppv?... a tv show?... you need to clarify... so who is the idiot again?... no wonder you are still a jobber here...
