TNA 2012 Manchester, UK Review

[masterebbs]

we were there too! When Bully Ray pulled off his shirt and had LFC shirt on that was hilarious! AJ was also good on fan interaction.

[1980cmason]

I am for TNA always

[1980cmason]

I was there great night in Manchester love TNA all matches great best 3 Aries VS Shelley VS Haskins brilliant Styles VS Gunner also Sting, Hogan & Storm VS Angle, Roode & Ray. Sorry Bully Ray is shite needs to get out of TNA go back to WWE.

[anwarandmawson]

@1980cmason

I like Bully Ray as a charatcer, shame he was a real life dick though.

[L3Z99]

When does this show air on tv,would that be this wednesday or later on??

[anwarandmawson]

@L3Z99

This show wont be airing but the Joe/Roode match will be on Xplosion in one of the next 2 weeks.

[itsmeliam1]

Great Video :)

[anwarandmawson]

@itsmeliam1

Thanks man, I'll check yours out after the Rumble/tomorrow morning

[ps2peter]

this was my 5th tna show and it was probs the worst one iv seen matches where genric crowd should hang their heads in shame worst crowd ever.where were u sat man ?

[anwarandmawson]

@ps2peter

I was sat in the lower tier facing the isle, how about you?

[Romulus123]

Hulk did the signing London. He was an absolute class act. He thanked everyone, made eye contact and offered his hand for a handshake.

Makes the weak indy talent that don't even look up to and act like they don't want to be there look even more pathetic.

That's how you do it. He's truly a fucking legend and a top bloke.

[anwarandmawson]

@Romulus123

Shiiiit, as if Hogan did the signing in London. I'm jealous for sure!

[EnigmaMVPDestiny]

when i saw TNA Impact Wrestling Live it was AWESOME!! such a fan atmosphere for the fans and wrestlers there. i met angle velvet sky jesse sorresnon gail kim and madison rayne devon (who remembered my family at this other signing we went to lol) Crimson Mickie James Austin Aries who we called dope and he laughed and said i am dope. overall i would love to go to another TNA Show live. Best part was with Bully Ray talking shit to the fans and best match was Kurt Anglevs James Storm AWESOME show

[anwarandmawson]

@EnigmaMVPDestiny

Their live events are highly under-rated

[EnigmaMVPDestiny]

@anwarandmawson agreed i cant wait for them to come back.TNA does give alot to there fans not like what WWE does if you compare there house shows with eachother

[anwarandmawson]

@EnigmaMVPDestiny

Their house shows are probably better than their TV shows too tbh

[EnigmaMVPDestiny]

@anwarandmawson ya right lol i didnt have any problems with sitting through the matches when i went probably because i was there but still

[robbo2788]

I was there on the floor row F, ive been two WWE shows & this was the best one out of the one's ive saw. Biggest pops of the night Samoa Joe, Aj Styles, Sting and Hogan, I think at the fan interaction the "heels" were playin up there characters, I think Samoa Joe Vs Roode was the best match on the card, I was most lookin foward to seeing Sting and I was just in awe, & your right about Crimson, I just don't like him at all, looks a complete tosser, at the end I had a sore throat, money well spent

[anwarandmawson]

@robbo2788

I dunno about them playing up the heel persona tbh because the heel women were cool and so was Gunner.

[AndImAwesomeMIZEDGE2]

And YeS I was at the event xD

[AndImAwesomeMIZEDGE2]

I was there it was fucking amazing

[anwarandmawson]

@AndImAwesomeMIZEDGE2

Where abouts where you sat and what were the fans like in your section?

[SeanMBryans]

Hell Hogan didn't do much when he was a younger Hulk Hogan - What did you expect now that he's an over-the-hill Hulk Hogan? He's such a hack - The Incredible Hack Hogan!!! Glad you had fun though. Don't feel bad - I waited on Roode once in a restaurant - he's, apparently, a jackass by nature. All along I thought it was the fact I didn't acknowledge he was anything more then a guest in a restaurant. Flair has been in a few times. Everybody recognizes him. Some not so fondly. That's life.

[anwarandmawson]

@SeanMBryans

Ohh yeah, It was more than I even expected form Hogan. I just thought he'd come in an cut a promo thanking everyone for being there and saying the generic crowd is awesome thing.

[olliepack]

and the crowd were more interested Aries

[olliepack]

haha, they booked haskins from London last night at Wembley!

[anwarandmawson]

@olliepack

Haha typical! We were all joking about that when we were watching his match.

[dillanp370]

It was awesome, I've been to around 5-6 wrestling shows (TNA&WWE).. and I agree, It was the best wrestling show I've ever been to! It was a little disappointing that Jeff Hardy, and Velvet Skye wasn't there, but non the less an awesome show!

I think you should upload the 'day in the life video' and the bully ray promo..

[anwarandmawson]

@dillanp370

I need to double check about that Bully Ray promo hmmm, I wonder what the legal rights to that would be.

[AzTheSpaz]

@anwarandmawson i believe, that because it wasn't to be shown on tv, there's not a lot  can be done, unless TNA's logos are all over the vid then they could ask you to take it down. Not 100%. Ask Otunga ha

[anwarandmawson]

@AzTheSpaz

There's a thing when you upload videos with adverts that asks if it's a recording of a performance, so it would breech that.

[ecousins01]

IT WAS AWESOME

[anwarandmawson]

@ecousins01

Yeah it was!

[ecousins01]

@anwarandmawson

lol i subbed u

[anwarandmawson]

@ecousins01

thanks pal, I appreciate. hopw you enjoy my vids

[ecousins01]

@anwarandmawson

anytime bro

[ThePLDTV]

This video has intrigued me about TNA, I would go to a live event if there was any near me

[anwarandmawson]

@ThePLDTV

Yeah, I'd really recommend it pal.

[dracothedragonite]

Say, about the Joe and Roode match to be aired on Xplosion on Wednesday, any idea if we would be able to see you on the cameras during the match? :D

[anwarandmawson]

@dracothedragonite

I don't think so, I was on the first tier. You may be able to see me on impact or xplosion on a Borash/Hemme segment.

[MrUndertakertheman]

@anwarandmawson whats explosion????

[anwarandmawson]

@MrUndertakertheman

It's a TNA show which is exclusive to the UK

[MrUndertakertheman]

@anwarandmawson so you said this was the most fun at a wrestling show right??? try being at one night stand 2006!!!!!!! i was 30 meters from sandman,tazz,rvd ETC

[anwarandmawson]

@MrUndertakertheman

Ahh that would have been sick!  Guess it matters who's there and how close you are. The first show I went to probably would have been the best if I was old enough to enjoy it. I was like 9 watching Mayhem in Manchester which featured Austin, Rock, HHH, Owen, Taker, Kane etc

[MrUndertakertheman]

@anwarandmawson oh wow that seems great!! were you close(if you can remember) because at sandmans entrance i was like 20-25 feet away from him!!! im a big ECW mark and sandman mark...you can imagine how crazy i was.....

[anwarandmawson]

@MrUndertakertheman

I was miles away in the upper tier my parents got me decent tickets but should have just got the cheapest one in hindsight because I was too young to really enjoy a live event.

[Romulus123]

Crimson is shit. Certainly doesn't do him any favours when he acts like a dick to fans.

Gunner is a solid bloke though.

[anwarandmawson]

@Romulus123

Yeah exactly, Gunner was cool, Crimson not so much.

[Primetime09Nick]

Where you allowed to bring your own things to get signed by the wrestlers?

[anwarandmawson]

@Primetime09Nick

Yeah you can take whatever you want I guess. I just took a game cover and an old program

[MyMrwrestling]

was the men arena full house

[anwarandmawson]

@MyMrwrestling

Nah, there were a few seats free. We even moved down a few rows (to the displeasure of the people sat behind us)

[IdRatherbeDeaddd]

you are seeing the stone roses? YOU BASTARD :O john squire is my favourite guitarist of all time, him and johnny marr got me to pick a guitar up. you lucky person. hope you have a good time.

[anwarandmawson]

@IdRatherbeDeaddd

Yeah, going seeing them on their first Manchester show (which was supposed to be the reunion but they've scheduled a few European mainland festival appearances now)

[GhostsofJapan]

TNA WAS IN NOTTINGHAM ON THURSDAY WOOOOO!!

[dracothedragonite]

Holy crap, Haskins! I never seen him on TNA on TV for months! Nobody is interested because he's never been getting a push. It's either AA, Kid Kash or Jesse Sorensen.

[anwarandmawson]

@dracothedragonite

Haskins looked okay but he's nowhere near the standard that should be required for a major league company.

[CkingMPunk]

Im ging to TNA this tonight in London, where do you go for the meat and Great Session

[anwarandmawson]

@CkingMPunk

We went through the regular entrance and then were taken behind the curtain backstage where they were all sat at tables.

[SKiLLiGEstaz]

I've changed my perspective of bobby Roode after you said that, he seems like A right Mardy arse bell end lmao

[anwarandmawson]

@SKiLLiGEstaz

He was a bit of a dick but might of been having an off day. Either way it's tinted my view of him slightly.

[Trencher1375]

Great review, Im glad you got to see Hulk in the flesh. Sound like TNA is getting better and better. I was not there being from Norway. Great review. Your review and the fact that Bruce Prichard is running TNA now is changing my view on TNA wrestling.

[anwarandmawson]

@Trencher1375

Ah good stuff, it's a decent company but people should expect to see some fuck ups from them from time to time and just enjoy the rest of the show.

[IrishRisingFilms]

Glad you had a good time mate

[GillytheKid7]

Glad you had fun. Upload the vid with all the promos. I'll be watching for it.

[anwarandmawson]

@GillytheKid7

I need to see what copywrite would be on them cos if I upload them they could get taken down and I could lose the ads on my channel :/

[Peep4Life93]

Glad you had a good time mate. alot of wrestlers can be dicks at the autograph singings worst guy i met was the big show he was a complete knob but then again so would i be if i was sat there all day lol.

[anwarandmawson]

@Peep4Life93

That's true but it's their job to meet us but then again they probably couldn't care less if you come back again.

[jungsbodyguard]

D'you reckon Roode might have taken his heel persona to the signing? If not, the twat could show some fucking enthusiam. He knows the fans are more excited than the US, cause they hardly ever get any wrestling. Not only that but it's a good way for you to promote yourself, and the brand overseas.

Sounds like it was an amazing experience, anyway.

[IrishRisingFilms]

@jungsbodyguard I went to a TNA house show and Rhoode was supposed to be heel but was face lol.

[anwarandmawson]

@jungsbodyguard

I think it might of been a part of it because it's easier to turn up and act like a dick if you're a heel because that can be your excuse for having an off day. The faces were all really nice as were Gunner, Maddison Rayne & Gail Kim.
