HOW THE LIGHTS GOING OUT AT THE SUPER BOWL WOULD AFFECT MANIA 30

Report By Kent Jones

TNA NEWS Indy News ROH News WWE News

As anyone who watched the Super Bowl tonight knows, power went out to half of the stadium at the start of the third quarter. This led to a lot of people asking what WWE would do if this happened to them, which is a good question since the rumored home for WrestleMania 30 is the same building. Here is how they would handle it.

1) If the same thing happened at Mania 30, they would keep the show going. There was enough light to put a show on.

2) They will also make sure that they have enough back up power to keep the ringside area lit and the announcers on the air. If an act of God happens and it kills the PPV to the satellite however, all bets are off.

This happened at WrestleMania 24 during the WWE Championship match. Sure enough, they just kept going

WWE writer rips TNAs big announcement

2013-02-02T23:41:00.001-05:00

Source: TheWrestlingTimes.com

Report By Kent Jones

TNA NEWS Indy News ROH News WWE News

Former WWE Creative writer Court Bauer discussed TNA announcing that they would take Impact tapings on the road. While Bauer felt that it was a good move for TNA, he ripped the company for announcing it publicly.

"To announce it on a TV show... I think it just speaks to how in the bubble they are, and how they are desperate to look like they're something. They way they're doing it makes them look so super bush league. To shine the spotlight on the fact that they don't do s--t [and] that they've been in the same place for a million years. To the average fan, they're going to shrug like, 'Who gives a damn? Great, you're going to be in Alabama next week, who cares?' To them [the average fan], a big announcement is that you signed Steve Austin, you signed the Rock, or you're bringing in this, or you're bringing in WarGames... it's preposterous, it makes them look like the fools they are."

Wasn't he the guy who bragged about bring in The Great khaili . pretty sure he came up with the punjabi prison match. yeah. My favorite is imagine in 1993 Vince making a huge announcement saying Raw is going on the road. Like who cares if Vince would have done it or not?

You know what this is truly all about. Many of these people on the internet who have a voice like this writer or Mark Madden and others never thought this day would come and have publicly stated this. They always thought TNA would be out of business before they would travel.

Well now over the past few days there has been a lot of back peddling and people trying to find a different reason to bash the company because no matter how vocal they are with their "expert" opinions they were proven wrong. Instead of saying they were wrong we now have to bash how they made the announcement or how they won't sell tickets.

Over these past 10/11 years these "experts" and so called wrestling fans have been proven wrong and wrong again.

1. TNA got a 2 hour show on Spike TV

2. TNA runs shows out of the Impact Zone

3. TNA went live every Thursday

4. TNA is going on the road

You can go back in the archives and prove everyone wrong, but hey they know better than TNA right?

Dude sounds insecure and pressed as hell to be so nasty. If it's no skin off his nose, he wouldn't be so mad. And a former WWE writer? The current ones are bad enough, but that one couldn't even - or didn't even - hang, so why exactly does his input bear any weight? I read so much fear in that guy's comments. How the hell is announcing something very relevant to your company foolish, especially that, given their Southern and close-knit background, sharing every new step they take with the fans is their forte? It's relevant to any and everyone who watches TNA, so...[logic unavailable].

I love the spin-doctors trying to make his words sound anything but what they are: a total insult. A WWE "Creative" "writer" should be neither seen nor heard. They're the Claire Lynches of the writing world - not good at or qualified for their job.

There were alot of wedding decorations for the upcoming wedding of Bully Ray and Brooke Hogan.

Earlier today, Bully Ray got his tuxedo. In walked Brother Runt (Spike Dudley), followed by Tommy Dreamer. Ray handed them their tuxedos Elsewhere, Brooke was preparing as Mickie James, Christy Hemme and Brooke Tessmacher were revealed as her bridesmaids. When asked if Hulk Hogan was coming to the wedding, Brooke said she didn't know.

Jeff Hardy came to the ring holding both World Title belts. Hardy asked the crowd about the Genesis main event and they responded with a "You still got it" chant. Hardy thanked the crowd and said he fights for each and every one of them. All of a sudden, the music of Bad Influence hit as Daniels and Kazarian walked ringside.

Kazarian reiterated that if Hardy was ready for a fight, in one week Chris Daniels will bring the fight to him. Daniels said as long as they are bragging, he would do so to. He called himself the Thursday Night Delight, the man who sent AJ Styles home and the man who beat James Storm to earn a World Title shot. Daniels ran down the creatures, calling them losers.

Jeff Hardy wanted to do this now and took the fight to Daniels and Kazarian. The heels quickly got the upperhand and beat down Hardy. James Storm made the save and Bad Influence retreated. Storm challenged Bad Influence to a tag team match against James Storm and Jeff Hardy...right now. At that moment, he and Hardy jumped the heels outside the ring. The referee rang the bell as the tag team match was official.

James Storm and Jeff Hardy vs Bad Influence
Storm cleared Bad Influence from the ring early on setting them up for a baseball dropkick from Hardy. We headed to commercials.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

Back from the break, both teams used some solid fundamental wrestling. Hardy made the hot tag and dropkicked Kazarian off the apron and followed it up with a diving clothesline from the apron. Elsewhere, James Storm landed hard on the outside possibly tweaking his knee. In the ring, Hardy reversed a maneuver to connect with the Twist of Fate for the victory.

After the match, Daniels laid out Jeff Hardy with the Angel's Wings on a title belt. Daniels posed on top of Hardy while caressing the title.

The Gutcheck Judges deliberated about Jay Bradley and Brian Cage. Taz argued for Bradley's win while Al Snow and Prichard complimented the Middle Rope Superplex of Cage. Bradley has more of a mean streak while Cage is more charismatic. Prichard was going to reveal his pick when the camera cut out.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

Backstage, Bully was talking to Dreamer and Runt saying they still smell of booze. Joseph Park walked in and thanked Bully for his support the past few months. He handed Ray a bottle of alcohol which he called, "not exactly street legal." Park then walked off.

The Gutcheck Judges were in the ring ready for their verdict. Jeremy Borash brought out Jay Bradley and Brian Cage. Only one will go on to face the judges. Prichard said Jay won the match but that wasn't the only thing they were looking for. Prichard said what Brian Cage had was great but it wasn't enough. Prichard eliminated Brian Cage at that moment.

Taz gave Bradley a "No" saying this thing wasn't anonymous. Bradley then talked about his experience, wrestling on the road. He was trained by the best to be the best. He said he and his Boomstick were trending worldwide. He said if they let him in, he will take care of the rest.

Al Snow said that Bradley has a personality and he connected with the crowd and gave a "yes". The crowd loudly chanted No. Prichard said the fans care about him. Prichard gave Bradley a "yes." Bradley earns a TNA contract.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

Christian York vs Kenny King
This match is a result of the aftermath of their match at Genesis. On that show, York pinned King but after the decision, King hit him with a modified neckbreaker move. York dove on King as he made his entrance. According to Mike Tenay, York found a weakness for RVD but wasn't able to capitalize due to the attack by Kenny King.

York was extremely aggressive, hitting a series of kicks on King. King hit a nice kick and then went for the move he hit on Sunday. York reversed and ended things into a Half Nelson Suplex. York went for the move but King raked his eyes. He followed it up with a rollup using the tights as leverage.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

Backstage, Bully Ray approached Sting. He said Sting was the only one who trusted him. Bully said he wanted Brooke to be happy and she would be if Hulk walked her down the aisle. He asked Sting to talk to Hulk. Sting said he would dig his heels in but he would talk to Hulk.

On commentary, Taz acknowledged that he had to help out with the wedding backstage so he would be off commentary for awhile.

Backstage, Austin Aries ogled over himself when Bobby Roode walked in front of them. The two argued when Aries and Roode got on the same page. Aries objected to the wedding tonight and said he would wear all black. Roode was on the same page. It looks like they will be wedding crashers tonight.

Hulk Hogan arrived in the parking lot. He wouldn't respond to the camera man when asked if he would give Brooke away at the wedding tonight.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

Backstage, Bully was teasing Tommy Dreamer and Runt. Taz walked in and asked about "Paul." Bully said he would call back in five minutes. Tommy asked if Hulk would be there; which Bully didn't know. Ray went to put on his tuxedo.

Sting headed to the ring following a short recap video. Sting said tonight was a huge night because "love is in the air." Sting told Bully Ray to pray as he called out Hulk Hogan to the ring. Hogan told Sting to cut the crap and get down to business.Hogan said they both have traveled many road and both have had people stab him in the back.

Sting said Bully Ray has come to Sting's, Hogan's and Brooke's aid many times. He asked what more has to be done. Hogan said people have been telling him to watch out for himself and his family. He said Bully has a bad vibe coming off of him and that he will never trust Bully Ray.

Sting told Hogan he needs to do this for himself and for Brooke tonight. The fans chant "do it." Hogan said that he always does the right thing, brother. He then walked off.

Backstage, Gail Kim approached Taryn Terrell backstage. She showed Taryn footage of Taryn's screw-up at Genesis. Gail will be granted a rematch tonight and Taryn assured her that it would be called down the middle. Gail said it better be called down the middle.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

Footage of Bully Ray's bachelor party aired. Bully Ray posed with a bunch of hot girls while people took pictures.

Gail Kim vs Velvet Sky
#1 Contender's Match
This was your typical back and forth Knockouts Match. Velvet botched a handcuff neckbreaker. Gail was able to torque the neck of Velvet with a scissor move. Gail hit Eat Defeat and went for the pin but Velvet's foot was under the rope. Gail argued with Taryn as Velvet hit a Bulldog followed by many of her other signature moves. Velvet hit the In Yo Face for a clean victory on Gail.

Dixie Carter was talking to Brooke backstage. Dixie told Brooke that no matter what happens tonight, her dad loves her very much.Very sappy segment.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

It was supposed to be time for the wedding when Bobby Roode and Austin Aries came to the ring together. Aries shook one of the wedding gifts at ringside. Bobby Roode said the only celebration going on should be for Austin Aries and Bobby Roode. Without them, there wouldn't even be a show. Roode called him the most dominant champion in history. Aries interrupted saying he was the man who beat the most dominant champion in history.

Aries said all the great moments of 2012 were because of Aries and Roode. Aries said there was a time when you could be proud of your champions. Aries ran down the champions in TNA. Aries stated that Roode and Aries didn't get the respect they deserved. Roode and Aries officially objected to this wedding. They were interrupted by Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez.

Chavo wanted to note that the tag champions object as well. Chavo objected to Aries and Roode's objections. Aries called Chavo and Hernandez caterers. Aries and Roode continued mouthing off. Chavo and Hernandez went after Aries and Roode. Roode saved Aries from a Border Toss from Hernandez.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

Backstage, Hulk Hogan and Sting chatted. He said he has tried to protect Brooke from the business; not just Bully. Sting asked Hogan that if he did a good enough job raising Brooke that she saw something in Bully that Hogan didn't. Sting told Hogan he needed to walk Brooke down the aisle. Hogan said he always did the right thing but he needed to pack his bags and get out of there.

The ring was setup for a wedding as Bully Ray (dressed in a tux) walked to the ring. Tommy Dreamer escorted Brooke Tessmacher to the ring (groomsman and bride's maid). Brother Runt escorted Mickie James to the ring. Taz then escorted Christy Hemme to the ring as well. We headed to commercials with the question if Hogan would escort Brooke to the ring.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

Wedding bells rang as Brooke Hogan made her way to the ring dressed in white. Her dad was nowhere to be seen as she slowly walked to the ring. Hogan then appeared in a tux and walked Brooke to the ring.

Hogan presented her to Bully. The pastor then did his sermon. The two exchanged vows with Brooke starting. Brooke told Bully he was her best friend and could make her laugh. Bully said earlier he was going to write down his vows but she deserved better. He wants to make her the happiest girl in the world.

Nobody objected despite the opportunity to do so. They exchanged rings. Brooke said she did. Bully said he did. Taz interrupted at that point. Taz said he has known Bully for a long time. He asked Bully if he was sure he wanted to do this.

At that point Taz pulled off his tux to reveal an Aces and 8s vest. Mike Knox and DOC pulled Brooke from the ring as the gang assaulted Hulk Hogan, Sting, Bully Ray and the groomsmen. The show came to a close with the many carcasses in the ring.

Well that was an OMG Moment that I didn't see coming. So many questions are to be asked. What does this mean for his announcing duties? What will happen next week on IMPACT?

Your winners, TNA Tag Team champions Hernandez and Guerrero!

After the match, Morgan just looked down in disgust at Ryan.

OK opener.

Backstage, Jeremy Borash interviewed Mr. Anderson. Borash asked him his stance on Aces & Eights. Anderson mocked him and said, "you guys are so kliq-y around here" and told Borash to grow up. He said that as far as Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle were concerned, Angle called him out to fight and he was ready to fight. He said that Angle decided to roll around with Aces & Eights. He said if Joe wants to blame Anderson for Kurt Angle's demise, thanks. He warned Joe that the same thing was going to happen to Angle will just happen to him.

Mr. Anderson vs. Samoa Joe

Joe shoved Anderson off, but was still caught with a dropkick to the knee for a near fall.

Back in the ring, Joe scored a near fall. Anderson fought back but was caught in a snap powerslam. Joe placed Anderson on the top for the muscle buster when the artist formerly known as Mike Knox. Joe saw Knox and shoved Anderson to the mat. Joe turned to Anderson and was caught with the Mic Check. Anderson scored the pin.

Your winner, Mr. Anderson!

Another OK match. The match really was just a backdrop to continue the mystery of whether Anderson is in cahoots with Aces and Eights.

Jeremy Borash interviewed Kenny King about the X-Division tournament final. King said that he was a freight train and the only thing that can stop it is Superman. He said Christian York isn't Superman and tonight isn't about York, it's about RVD. He said that when he tagged in RVD, he wanted to see if it was true. He left RVD in the ring for Morgan to kick him in the face on purpose. He said RVD has gotten soft. He said that RVD isn't the same man who used to battle Sabu and kick Jerry Lynn's head off ten years ago. King said he was going to perform "natural selection" and take out RVD to become the new emperor of the X-Division.

Kenny King vs. Christian York

They announced the X-Division title bout will take place immediately, so there will be no rest period for the challenger. They had a feeling out process early and traded Japanese style armdrags before both going for a dropkick at the same time and facing off.

King and York went back and forth shoving and slapping each other. York got the better of it, then chopped away at King. York drilled King with a knee to the mid-section as he came off the ropes. King nailed an inverted atomic drop, a leg lariat and a slam for another near fall.

Best thing thus far on the show.

Solid show . This is the end of an era here as it's the last Orlando live PPV for the time being (for major shows) and from here on in, it's on TNA to build the major shows as just that major. Let's hope they do.
