Webmatch: Kip James vs. Kiyoshi

[nichkhunmyangel]

Kip James so funny.

[david22247]

Kiyoshi rules

[Reptoyd]

That referee deserves a raise. Tremendous officiating in this match. BRING BACK KIP JAMES!!!!!!

[Reptoyd]

Kip James & Don West = "They"

[chilton112011]

@Souljaboy778, a thousand I's

[1993heavenshallburn]

I LOVE TAZZ!!! xD his commentary with the professor is very funny

[owaisinus]

Kiyoshi reminds me a lot about Tajiri because of the similarity in wrestling style and the mist...

[StFidjnr]

the kipster or the kiparonnie = total comedy

[froggylegs11]

i can tell you why the nasty boyz

they know the hulkster

[PhilipEbanks]

:O at Tazz saying Cleveland steamer.

[ziggler1991]

kip james should have been a world champion

[GoldGodzilla]

Kip James with them Mr Ass "Pink Shorts" on

[Souljaboy778]

If you Think WWE is better then TNA say I if you think TNA is better then WWE say you

[lebronownscavs23]

@Souljaboy778 you

[94bluejay]

tna announcer sound like they have fun with their job.

[shootmybum]

kip james is a wrestling legand as mr.ass i can't believe he's not with TNA anymore :(

[XxSaVeMeAEMV1xX]

Kip James wearing Vintage Mr. Ass attire!

[TheHeelHook]

KIP on the MAIN ROSTER!!!! Im just sayin

[TheForgottenFlesh]

My boy Kyoshi needs a new gimmick. Perhaps a Bosusaku style gimmick. Leather jacket, sunglasses, almost a biker type look. Needs a female mouthpiece too. Also needs to ditch the world elite.

[andyj101193]

TNA should realise that its the X Division that made them and that they need to sign more X Division guys and then give the division a push. Then guys like Kiyoshi and Jay Lethal wouldn't be wasted. Why are the Nasty Boys getting more TV time than the whole of the X Division? Once TNA gets itself sorted maybe it could go up against the WWE without getting destroyed in the ratings.

[l1lxdreamer]

why is kip james losing his web matches

[bbutton123]

Caus he's a.. hmm.. jobber?

[HardyBoyFan101]

I hate the new TNA stage the one in this vid is cool.

[politicalninja2044]

Asian Mist for the win! A Tajiri/ Kiyoshi tag would be unbelieavable, especially if managed by the Great Mutah

[reiman1308]

I think Kiyoshi would make a good x division champ.

[ECampbellWORX]

for the love of god would someone push Kiyoshi already. the X-Division deserves to be on top again!!!!!!

[KARHU3OLUT]

assman is back in the ring!

[bladestormviking]

ok, i give up. why is the crowd on valium???

[njchampion]

tna we support u! bring your ppvs live on italian cable tv!

[adam765432]

Thats stupid that the ref didont dq him

[avalsonline]

tajiri used to do the same thing. he was never disqualified

[Quinnknights]

but the ref was alway meant to be distracted

[adam765432]

I thought he was called somrthing like cuip kip

[triplehrulz11]

kip james is in such great shape to be 46

[TheWrestling1989V2]

TNA: you made a good choice releasing Cody Deaner, But why would you release Kip James? he would of made a great backstage announcer, he's comedy gold!

such a shame.

[ziggler1991]

lol did everyone hear what billy said at 0:27

[Fatalo1979]

@ziggler1991 That was my friend he was talking to, he comes down the ramp says "Oh my God where'd you come from, why don't you go in there for me." After the match he came back and asked why he didn't get in the ring and help him. Some of the best stuff never makes it to TV.

[benallen555]

wtf happened to real wrestling?? all it is is over paid actors... and before you say about the people who have died its the stupid people that did their stunts wrong... its not entertaining at all

[aj08england]

y watch it then?

[richman2425]

Other stars like WWE's Kane, Big Show, Chris Jericho, Shelton Benjamin, Goldust, even Viscera, William Regal, Chavo Guerrero would put over Kiyoshi and elevate him to main event status.

[dezza2001]

Kip is over with the live crowd and has become a good company man so they have to give him a win once and a while since he has done the job a few times now.

[foaly5]

mist.mist!I mean seriously what the fuck were they thinking?

[JugglingTed]

The Billy Gunn of old still has the stuff!

[5150Notorious187]

i liked kiyoshi better with the face paint

[MetaKoola]

Why the fuck do they have KIP jobbing to these talentless jobbers on webmatches?? And I know Pro wrestling has the perception that there are rules but he spit the mist in kips face right infront of the fucking ref! HELLO! Can we atleast try to remember kayfabe TNA???

[Michaelanelson14]

You just called Kiyoshi a talentess jobber. You suck.

[PhillUK2K]

Lol. I agree with the above! Anyone who calls Kiyoshi a talentless jobber doesn't deserve to talk about wrestling! I admit he won't hit the main event but if given the right push he will challenge for the X-Division Championship.

I agree about TNA's useless scripting though! I mean, at least have Big Rob run down to distract the ref when he does it or something!

[TheCommentsGuys]

Tell me this. What is there left for Kip to do? He is mainly working backstage and plus I respect him for putting over younger talent.

[COBALTG]

tazz said

cleveland steam

hahahah

[ItIsmell69]

what a jaboroni

[sadistacation]

hahaha.. Tazz said "Cleveland Steamer"

[dreammatch2000]

Huge win for Kiyoshi. Not really a bad match. 7/10. Good not great.

Kip James: I loved the old "Bad Ass Billy Gunn" gear that he wore. I hope Vince or his lawyers wasn't watching.

Kiyoshi: Keep up the good work.

TNA: Cross The Line.

[jjgenesis]

That means nothing. Kip owns the attire and WWE cant tell him he cannot wear it

[dreammatch2000]

You never know. WWE always starting some kind of "copyright infringement" lawsuit on their former employees.

[DarkSagauk]

such a shame to see kip james reduced to jus explosion matches n hardly seen on impact hes a season vet with alot of yrs in the wrestling industry need to give him a push again so can show us what hes made of

[mxaxnxo]

I think his carrier is on the edge, i want to see him as TNA world champ :(

[jonjon535353]

i agree completely..i just dont think tht they have anywhere to put him right now though, kinda like alot of guys were in wCw, once TNA is able to get another show on tv i think theyll definitely have a place for him

[dezza2001]

They have a lot for him. He wrestles web matches. Does great crowd pleasing matches on House Shows. And above all he is a backstage Road Agent.

[TheBlueResistance]

Wow

I like Tenay and Taz's chemistry!

[dblack25]

i guess that ref is TNA's equalivalent of UFC's Steve Mazzagatti

[skipmendler]

taz is a hoot

[scotty2707]

Kiyoshi = Tajiri, but it aint Tajiri, yet Red Mist...Whaaa

[shittlesticks]

He does not equal Tajiri, he was taught by "The Great Muta", who's been around longer then Tajiri.

[dreamcast98]

Im a TNA fan, but ive always questioned why don't we see larger capacity arenas for iMPACT ?

[phoenixdoane]

hmm large arenas...

that's not TNA

[dreamcast98]

thank you for your pointless comment

[phoenixdoane]

dude, you have some problem of personality

[BruiserDrop]

The idiots would tell you iMPACT! doesn't have a larger crowd because TNA cant draw a larger crowd. Here is the truth. TNA iMPACT! has as many fans as the fire code will allow. There are always fans outside the building that were not allowed in even though you see space in the crowd & they watch on the monitors outside. You see more space now because TNA has closed off one entrance and filled that area with seats though they are not allowed to have more people in the building.

[dreamcast98]

Many thanks for explaining

[MrPerfect2000Z]

Kipster!

[DrFeelgood624]

billy gunn is and always will be awesome

[jgoth08]

THIS IS THE SHIT I WANT ON IMPACT!!!!..2 guys u dont see every week and one guy getting a push...why do i have to see the same faces every week?not as bad as wwe but still..i want to see more pushes..X CUP!!!

[KaleemMyster]

Kip James vs Shark Boy bring it!!!!!

Kip James will always be a great worker! He is damn entertaing! i wish they didnt fire BG James aswell!

[DarkJokerSaint]

wow Kip James made the crowd pop better than AJ and Kurt

[plokmantchok]

why choose between tna & wwe ? I'll watch both shows

[dracothedragonite]

Billy Gunn really needs a titantron O_o

and to actually win a match in TNA...

[Kjlwai]

TNA RULES!!!!!!!

[MrHello435222]

Everyone knows wwe will win the ratings but that dont mean they have the better show i cant sit through 5 mins of that shit.tna is gonna be live unpredictable and exciting wwe will be the same old shit

[DarkJokerSaint]

wow you really have your head up your ass

TNA will destroy TNA this is the END of TNA

[Kommandant10]

KIP PANTS!!!!

[imaiden26]

I watched TNA for the first time and i was very impressed i saw a product that was about the sport and the show and not about money...Desmond Wolf is a great villan..he's elegant and evil rather than crude and stupid and promotional enough...WWE focuses on little kids. Do you really still enjoy this brand?? It's PG because they want more money NOT because they WANT it to be a family show...it's ALL about John Cena over there and when Jesse Ventura told him off it was great.

[imaiden26]

But regardless they need to try to do some at least some commercial things....face it the pnly reason why WWE is bigger is cuz they have shit loads of money TNA is poor but that makes it fun to cuz it's just building up.

[jgoth08]

yea tna is better..wwe sux..ppl think tna has just as much money as tna what idiots lol...and again...tna is 7 years old.

[shittlesticks]

TNA, has just as much money as TNA?

[jgoth08]

..?

[shittlesticks]

That's what you said, double check your spelling next time....."

[jgoth08]

ventura was awesome for that lol...wwe sux now and vince dont care about the fans at all..screw wwe i dont care to watch that crap anymore..im a tna fan

[nscwevideos59]

same here man fuck vince he don't give shit about the fans while TNA does! TNA fan 4 life (:

[ChadTheWrestleManiac]

HELL YAAAAA

[SWISHBAKER]

y does billy gunn always go against world elite niggaz?

[SashaNein]

Kip is such a great worker, and it's a shame to see him confined to webmatches and house shows. He may not be the best wrestler in the world, but he's a fantastic entertainer and is without a shadow of a doubt one of the greatest tag team wrestlers in the history of the business.

[Daedryon]

Nobody watches WWE anymore, except for idiots, morons and retards.

Seriously, I'll go indepth. WWE is looking more like a soap opera than sports entertainment.

TNA focuses less on all the talky crap, and more on real fucking action.

Hence why people are switching over to TNA. WWE has just gotten too focused on drama and storylines that go nowhere.

[HayabusaWill]

TNA focuses on action, with their 15 minutes of wrestling per two hour show. You heard it here, folks.

[SashaNein]

Although I agree that TNA programming doesnot have enough wrestling, after Turning Point they have been greatly improving. The first week had 23 minutes. The second week had 32 minutes. Now hear this: the thanksgiving special exceeded 40 minutes of wrestling.

If they can maintain 40-50 minutes per show, I think that would be a good balance. You must take into consideration that although it is scheduled for 120 minutes, 40 must be used for commercials.

[jgoth08]

im so glad tna has more wrestling...hope they keep it up

[upstatebasher1989]

Everyone is so full of crap, with Hulk Hogan's debut on Jan. 4th, there is no way that WWE will beat them in the ratings.

[1974KRS]

it the kip the kiprooee so funny....

[samouha95]

TNA has nothing all of their gimmicks are copied from great WCW or ECW or WWE superstars like Kiyoshi he is a cheap Tajiri knockoff with the mist and the kicks and the walk and of course Abyss is a Mick Foley copy and Jay Lethal whose gimmick is Randy Savage and Suicide who resembles La Parka and Eric Young who is a Chris Jericho parody i mean he was a fun loving Canadian called EY he wore shirts and long trunks and then turned into a suit wearing short trunks sporting vocabulary word speaking

[Sslicer]

correction: TNA has talentted wrestlers i agree with the mick/abyss and savage/lethal gimmicks

but you can't really say kiyoshi is copying tajiri considering the fact that the great muta has been around longer than both (and kiyoshi trained under muta)

[sdm009]

the gimmicks are stereotypes......for that look so similar to each other..........

second Kiyoshi..(is like a tribute couse was trained by Great Muta and became famous the mist .

[shittlesticks]

You know nothing about wrestling if you are going to babble about facts you do not know. Kiyoshi does not copy Tajiri,but the Great Muta who he was trained by. Jay Lethal does not act like Randy Savage in a way that the are stealing his gimmick, but more so as a show of respect to the wrestler.

[NJSportsFan1]

reminds me of the great tajiri

[TA420859]

dreams will come true when wwe collides with tna on jan 4 2009

[evolution199331]

@TA420859 I don't think it will turn out well though; the last time they competed (raw was on a thursday because the dog show on monday) TNA'S rating were cut in half. Not saying it will happen again but, who knows.

[SkywardCinema]

They are going back in time to compete with each other? 2010 buddy...lol.

WWE will trash TNA. iMPACT regularly scores on par (ratings wise) with WWE Superstars, their "D" show. RAW's going to do a 3-hour show anyway - hey, at least WWE knows TNA exists....lol.

[shittlesticks]

Last time I checked, TNA has beaten ECW and Smackdown's ratings numerous times in the past.

[TDFilms2010]

TNA has never beaten SmackDown in the ratings. Ever.

The handful of times it has beaten ECW is nothing to brag about. I'm a WWE fan and I don't think I've watched 5 minutes of ECW in the past year.

Good luck to TNA - this can only help the WWE. But if they think that Hulk Hogan is going to transform the industry with The Nasty Boys, DDP, Brutus Beefcake, and the like - they are insane.

[shittlesticks]

Yes, they have beaten SD in the ratings before. And of course, they are going to lose to Raw, and I do not agree with Hulk bringing back those washed-up legends (no offence intended), but I'm supporting TNA all the way.

[jgoth08]

tna needs to stay tna(2002-2007)not trying to be wwe or wcw...they need to focus on ppl who are gonna be around awhile..not ppl who are about to die lol

[shittlesticks]

Yeah, of course the wrestling in 2002-07 was better, but it's like that with almost any federation. Thing is though, you have to adapt to what gets ratings, even though it might end up killing TNA just like it did WCW and WWE, we are going to see more well-known superstars and gimmicks, because that's what draws in the majority of the fans (WWE fans), though, they will start strengthening the number of matches and push talented superstars.

[jgoth08]

tna needs to quit changing for the worse and realize they didnt need to change...2006 id say was perfect..maybe 07.idk..whatever year it was was perfect...great story with great wrestling and lots of it..wwe is doing bad because they suck..tna aint rising cause they didnt listen to their fans..FIRE RUSSO!!!!

[M1Coyne]

yeah ecw has been crap the only thing that has be good at all was when tommy dreamer was ecw champion

[BlissKira]

lol Jan 4 2009 XD (2010)

anyways, so TNA is gonna be on Monday nights er something?

[shittlesticks]

Yes, TNA will have a three hour special being broad casted at the same time at Monday Night Raw, I rumor which I think has been confirmed by now, is that Raw will counter with a three hour special as well, to match TNAs length. Speculations have it that "The Rock" will guest host that night, but others have been saying he will guest host in later months.

[DJVCENTBOX]

kaga nisto nao presta

[JoeyPencils]

terrible

[Peoples2kk7]

The One Billy Gunn...

[samouha95]

Looks like the time keeper got a little too excited when Kiyoshi won he kept ringing for an hour lol

[eveque]

@samouha95 lol yeah

[MrEXTREMSHUFFLER]

kap james looks gay

[eveque]

@MrEXTREMSHUFFLER he always looks gay & plays gay roles hmmmm

[newjack1879]

Kiyoshi = Underused

[ra5kit]

Kiyoshi needs a push

[TheWrestlingLantern]

Strange seem's like Kip has more respect than he has ever had after becoming the TNA enhancement guy (like a gold dust) and seems to be really helping the young guys which is cool.

[kkbronx212]

Rip Umaga we wil miss you.

[0560569001]

No On Is Gonna Miss Him

[kkbronx212]

have some respect assclown.

[shittlesticks]

Douche, how bout his wife? His Children? The great Anoa'i Wrestling family? And all of his friends and co-workers.

[TeamExtremeMember8]

What's with all those chicks?

[TheFunkyDomination]

Who are those fan girls anyway?

[Twiztedgoalie]

first off, thank you for giving Kiyoshi a win.

second....I think it's time we have one last "You-Manga" to lighten the mood a bit. Too many people are sad when wrestlers die. Think of the fun times you had watching these guys wrestle. That's what I'd think they'd want.

[aglewi41]

lol listen to kips fan girls

[aglewi41]

wait. umaga is dead. i saw him a week ago at hulkamania

[berniemac1983]

@aglewi41 yeah died from a heart attack

[DrGnockerz]

Kiyoshi rules, I want TNA to build him up to be a force to be reckon with in the X-division, because he's a good wrestler, he's Japanese, Japanese wrestlers always rule lol.

And to Umaga aka Eddie Fatu, get well soon, and if you're dead then enjoy your new home in heaven and I wish the best for your family.

[dmansik]

6:29 the ref gives him the mist, and he hides it perfectly, took me a couple of times to realize. Good match.

[CheezyBallsTrippa]

Taz said Cleveland Steamer, lol.

[ants84]

Just heard about Umaga whilst watching this.

RIP Eddie "Umaga" Fatu

:(

[instantclassicg1]

Where did you read this?

[ants84]

I was told this by people in the buisness. It's now all over the net.

[instantclassicg1]

I read that he's not dead but he is fighting for his life

[ants84]

I have been told that he had a massive stroke brought on by a Cocaine overdose and died. It will be announced when all of his family arrive at the hospital.

[TheStriker316]

He has been hospitalized and is fighting for his life.

[ants84]

As i said before, i have been told by more than one person, who would be privy to this information, that he has died. Conformation from the family will be forthcoming soon.

[xxstylishstarxx]

yes,kiyoshi won a match

[Kontkaalnes]

What the hell did Taz had on his head XD

[ThePacmanClassic]

Great Match! Very Entertaining!

I like Kiyoshi & Kip James.

Kip James IS MAD POPULAR with the Fans, he is happy & actually does deserve a push.

[DrGnockerz]

But Kip wants to put over the younger talent, and thats good, what a sport :)

[jgoth08]

yea hes a sport but i want to see kip win..im a fan..hes awesome!!!

[SaintJust101]

Kiyoshi looks cool as hell. Plus they should really rename web matches 'Kip James Vs...'

[Schmuckesding]

Webmatch: Scott Steiner vs Kip james

[destructorv2]

.___. Alright, is Kip even happy at what he is grind down to? I mean look at him, he looks healthy! then TNA is giving him a losing streak? Please do not treat Kip like dirt, they dun even give him his titantron.

btw Tazz, don't compare Kiyoshi with Muta, Muta is so much better in so many ways, Kiyoshi isn't even close.

[theowwpheno]

Well he has said himself he now wants to help elevate the younger talent

[manfrotto82]

booooo! you're not muta! poo kip! :(

[HeavyWeightGunner]

TNA fans are very quiet nowadays.

[debonodaniel]

3:59 great boot!

[punkisnotdead77]

kipsteeer!! ajajajajajajaja tazz is god

[roenned]

i didn't know kip james was spelled with three k's. i mean, come on, the crane pose? daniel-san is freaking italian!

anyway, kip can still go and probably deserves better material. and come on, the referees in tna are just lame. at least act distracted or something!

[pinoyrawr]

MAIN EVENT MAFIA FOREVER!!!!

[BillyArtillery]

boooo dammit kip james is the fucking man listen to the crowd they love the guy

he needs a title shot look how fucking happy he is

[BillyArtillery]

so i havent watched this yet but if kip james is fucking jobbing again i'm gonna be so god damn pissed off

[DrGnockerz]

Kip James wants to put over talent, and thats a good thing.

[BillyArtillery]

that's true and i hope they appreciate his gratuity towards the other superstars

i still think he should have a run at some title though, i mean he is the assman

[DrGnockerz]

I think he's good where he is now, the fans seem to like him putting over talent. And it's helping up & comers get over.

[Hooflahn]

first
