In TNA you have 3 options
1.) Stupid
2.) Complicated
3.) Stupid and Complicated
This match meets category 3
I believe this is also the show where Scott Steiner cut his infamous “FAAAT AAASSES” promo. Pure gold.
*Bryan sneezes* "I'm allergic to bad booking." I almost choked on my fries. lol
I'm hungry, share some of your 8 year old fries with me.
What kimd of fries? Crinkle cut? Spiral, Curly? Thick, waffle,? Straight, seasoned, steakfries? So what was it?? And yea i expect you to remember from 8Y ago
If they had at least put up a steel cage at least getting in would have been some sort of challenge.
and have 10 people in phase two, where the final two got a first round bye. and the higher seed gets to select the stipulation for the simi's and finals. i had just proved that i'm smarter than tna in 2007 . cornette could not of had input on this.
+mgunter Corny to that idea: "What fuck is that bullshit, Russo?"
Peter now that's an idea
They already did that in 2008 lol
Watching the opening moments of the reverse battle royal match was just embarrassing. So many guys just not even trying to do the one thing they're supposed to do!
TNA: Redefining the word "Clusterfuck".
just save time and say Vince Russo means the same thing.
BlackDeathViral03 and Vince Russo still denies helping ruin WCW in the late 90's-2000's yet he did.
Only TNA would put a #1 Contender's match on a PPV for a title shot at an Impact taping. *facepalm*
Not later on, next ppv or even for an spot, on TV with no real build
Screw TNA, but evey company has done it.
WWE used to do it all the time. Nothing wrong with that at all.
The best I can explain why James Storm hid was he was waiting for Chris Harris, whom I assume he was feuding with at the time, to enter the ring. Just as Harris was about to get in the ring, Storm jumped in as the eighth man before Harris this Harris was eliminated.
It's clever up until you realize that Storm was banking on the conclusion that Harris was going to be the last man in which he had absolutely no clue if he was or not. Just get in the ring and worry about your feud later. Still beyond stupid.
I remember I watched a NXT, or FCW episode where they had a Reverse Battle Royal. Not only did it make more sense in that episode, they didn't have guys just standing around, and Sandow did the hiding to sneak in work by hiding underneath the ring to not get hurt.
Would have been FCW as Sandow was on the main roster before the current NXT began.
My favourite Bryan is Bryan from years gone by, I didn't know being disgruntled could be high-pitched
I'm guessing the reason Chris Harris was added was because Rikishi probably left the company, but that tournament is classic Russo, look at the WCW Title tournament he booked in late 1999, the man can't even get a simple concept like a tournament right.
Your right,fatu left over money haha
As the LOLTNA on the Taima archive put it, smart company (for once).
Yeah Rikishi wrestled like 4 matches and was like “alright Uce thats enough for me”
Did any of those 4000 people chant "Fire Russo" at all?
nope but it was probably only because it wasn't in orlando if it was there would've been a well deserved fire Russo chant.
GurahkWeavile probably did and then they got muted
Sometimes people try and it doesn't catch on, so they just stop and everybody looks glum.
Typical Russo booking... How was he not fired sooner?
I was realy about to write "I'm legitemately surprised there was never a on a pole battle royal!" but then I remembered 'feast or fired'... goddamnit Russo.... -.-
One name, Dixie Carter.
Carolina Blood Russo booking was Shit however TNA ratings was not bad for its time until hogan and bischoff came along and Russo was fired
He was. And then he was unfired
"I invented the attitude era bro" that's why.
Its funny listening to David Cross review TNA!
Yo what the fuck. Rikishi? I had no idea.
I come back and listen to this at least once a year. “His plan was to HIDE until it was almost too late, and then attempt to SNEAK IN!” 😂🤣
If you're gonna have a "Reverse Battle Royal" just make it if both your feet go past the ropes and you're in the ring you're out
“I’m allergic to bad booking” LOL, that was the perfect thing for Bryan to say after sneezing, it was so funny!
A reverse battle royal would be you start outside the ring and you throw guys in instead of throwing them out.
This never stood a chance.
1:14.; I literally completely forgot that Rikishi was even under contract with TNA, at this time & in this match, respectively...
oh my god this actually happened....
2019 still laughing.. hilarious sh!t
Fantastic photo you've been using for Tenay. Many LOLs have been had.
This is the problem with TNA... they try waaaaaaay too hard to have new gimmick matches and end up looking like clowns
I knew nothing about this other then it was a reverse battle royal. having heard the details I can say that it is worse then I ever could of imagined. just terrible. I don't think they realized that when you have a normal battle royal there are often times where people have no one to fight. In ring it makes sense because they can use that time to rest. Outside of the ring where the goal is to make it in the ring it makes no sense. I award you no points. may god have mercy.
Lancer Archer has come a LONG way
Every time I look back on tna I feel sorry for james storm. Man deserved so much better
Well he’s back there again now!
This match could have worked if they started in the back
The craziest thing is that wrestlers (Christian as a HUGE example) really wanted to go to tna. looking back I seriously don’t know why.
They had a great roster but they forgot who was the writer XD
Probably to prove WWE wrong by becoming a big deal in TNA and trying to help it succeed.
Yes David Cross is awesome I really liked him as Yivo in Futurama Beast with a Billion Backs
I would pay big money to see a reverse pole match LOL
I love Bryan describing how James storm needed to... SNEAK IN
good review
Classic audio and match
I had no idea Rikishi was in TNA.
He couldnt have been there for more than a couple months. He wrestled a few matches then tried to force a pay raise lol
It should of been a King Of The Mountain match where you have to climb up the steel cage from the outside and 8 wrestlers that were successful and get inside will be elimination pinfall and submission only
And no seeding
Rikishi was in TNA? I did not know that.
Would someone please explain the Figure Four Weekly logo
This idea could have been good if the rules were you were ELIMINATED if you got thrown into the ring.
There are people who will say you got Jimmy Rave and Lance Hoyt mixed up in the pics, but it's TNA so who gives a fuck.
Reverse Battle Royale IS BACK 😂😂😂
Who kept rewinding to see the two most awesome things about Kong?
good video
What they could have done was make everyone start backstage and then a bunch of other superstars have to try stopping them them from getting in and then the first 10 people to get in will have a battle royal
This will never not be funny
Steiners vs Team 3D? Is this where Steiner coined the term "FAT ASSES!"?
I just noticed but there are tons of awkward silences in BNV.
El Crítico Molesto They read off their notes as well.
What if the reverse battle royal went like this,
People on the outside try to get in, then the ones who get in try to get rid of the others who get are also in. That way the people on the outside are still trying to get in while the people on the inside are already get rid of people, instead of stopping at 8 people and every wrestler goes through both phases of the match. Just a thought.
The title logo for this show is off centre slightly and it's driving me nuts
9:04-9:35.; What flag/logo is that supposed to be, again?...
I still can't tell what it's supposed to be.
It is the figure four/wrestling observer logo
Oh my god this happened on my 8th birthday....my birthday is infamous. Fuck.
That's one of Russo's stupidest ideas ever. We all know wrestling is predetermined so the point is to try and book something with logic. If you used any logic you'd say "why wouldn't the guys just race to scramble in the ring"?
Commenting in 2018, anybody else think the background pic in the intro looks a lot like Red Dead’s background? Or perhaps I just play too much lol
I know this is old, but you showed Jimmy Rave instead of Lance Rock and viceversa
As has been noted here putting up a cage would have at least brought the illusion of difficulty entering the ring. But if not that, how about a time limit to start the match? Put, say, 5:00 on the clock and in that five minutes no one is allowed into the ring; if someone enters the ring within the time limit they are DQ'd. Both ideas are eons better than making your talent look like dipshits who suddenly forget how to ENTER THE RING.
Or maybe having some lumberjacks in the ring to offer some resistance?
That would be a lot of dudes by that point, though.
What in the world is Billy Gunn wearing?? dear lord.
Lol, it ended up being the "Beautiful People's" gear.
The Artist Formally Known as Alcamest100 holy shit, you're right.
This is almost as bad as the never-ending Baseketball playoffs.
#facepalm
Not even Albert Einstein nor Stephen Hawking or anyone whom has a very high IQs can make sense of the logic of this match
Cluster**k would be a better description.
Why would seeding matter in a pro wrestling tournament? So stupid.
AmericanNohbuddy Especially when there are no byes.
Just say reverse battle Royal makes me laugh
Those last few seconds were disgusting - nobody wants to see five wrestlers sliding down Russo's pole.
Russo wat on earth was u thinking 🙈
So James Storm is the highlight of the reverse part as he 'sneaks' in
Then, is immediately eliminated from the battle royal. So, that was a big nothing.
Then immediately beats Eric Young, who won the battle royal and the one on one match. So Young's win meant nothing.
Then, Storm immediately loses to Kaz. So, that was for nothing.
Kaz wins the tournament but loses the title match. So it was an overly complicated gimmick match, which made the wrestlers look stupid, full of pointless serves, pointless story and no one got over. Just to give Kurt Angle another opponent to beat.
AEW doing their best to uphold this legacy
I, LUV deez guyz! ..........No homo.
Just as stupid as escape cage matches.
This is the worst idea for a match ever...
I really like Alvarez but he screams way too much. Its really tough to listen to without needing to turn it down & up multiple times.
+Travis Atwell You'd be screaming, too, if you had to watch every TNA PPV.
@@alec1115
No I'd probably shoot myself to save myself the torture.
I can't stand how people with podcasts do those William Shatner-like pauses between every other word, and continually repeat themselves while doing so. It makes it agonising for those who don't love the sound of the speakers voice as much as the speaker does.
Ok
Well I guess it's a good thing your opinion is irrelevant then. I actually enjoy these guys and that includes their delivery.
officialacesandeight
officialacesandeight So then dont watch it
+PuroWAVE so his opinion is irrelevant because it's different then yours??!!!? Lolz
officialacesandeight most podcasters are like backyard wrestlers, they're self taught as to how to do a radio show. These two in particular drive me nuts with how often they derail their own conversations because they're just trying to talk without understanding the psychology of how to have a conversation that's interesting to listen to. Just like any other form of entertainment
