Ed’s Perspective: Thoughts On Various Topics; Looking Forward to Turning Point

  • TNA:  As I normally leave posts on TNA to our two resident experts – Trevor and John, I thought I would mention that I’m looking forward to tonight’s Turning Point PPV. I can’t wait to see Jeff Hardy defend his title in a ladder match. You know there are going to be some nasty bumps in this one!
  • WWE: This is Ed the fan speaking – the best thing the WWE could do right now is make RAW a two-hour show again. Oh yes, there are plenty of other things I could suggest, but for me personally 3 hours of RAW every week is too much. Maybe I’ll throw up a poll asking what your opinion on this is, but all the different WWE programming on each and every week plus a PPV every month – JUST GIVE ME TWO AWESOME HOURS OF RAW!
  • HPW: What an awesome show Jerry Wilson and Hoosier Pro Wrestling put on last week in Columbus, IN. It is fun to have the big name stars come to town, but I want to give a huge shout out to the regular roster of HPW stars who give it their all, each and every month. And to my friend Jerry Wilson – you do an amazing job of providing us with the very best in Indy Wrasslin’ .
  • New Era Wrestling: Excited about heading back to Shelbyville, IN to cover New Era Wrestling for the second time. I am so getting into the Indy Promotions and the love getting to know the men and women behind the scenes. I know I’m going to see another good show.
  • DTRT Wrestling News Radio: Trevor and I are kicking around the idea of doing two 30 minute shows each week and adding a co-host. We’ll have an announcement soon in regards to this. We would love to have our listeners share our broadcast info with their friends. You don’t have to listen live, every episode is archived and can be downloaded any time at this link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/dtrtwrestlingnews
  • And finally a special shout out to the crew here at DTRT Wrestling News: You 3 are awesome! Trevor, my partner in this endeavor, works so hard behind the scenes that I could never say enough positives about him and the fantastic work he does. John, you do great work with the recaps each week. I’m looking forward to bigger and better things from you in the future – I know you have it in you! And finally to Vanessa, our newest contributor – what a breath of fresh air you are to our site. You keep on doing what you do – and that is writing entertaining, insightful  material from your own perspective. You are a great addition to the DTRT Wrestling News Staff

TNA Recap: November 1 2012 – Another Aces & 8s Mask Comes Off

The show began with a memoriam for Brad Armstrong. It was Open Fight Night on Impact Wrestling. Joseph Park was in the ring. He said he was here for Open Fight Night but he is not a wrestler but an attorney. He said that he is a man that is going to stick up for himself. He said Hogan hasn’t gave him a match yet with Aces & 8s but he has found a loophole & it’s Open Fight Night. Park called out any member of Aces & 8s. 4 members of Aces & 8s came & surrounded the ring. Angle came down to help out & was jumped by Aces & 8s then Sting came with a bat & cleared the ring. Sting said somebody from Aces & 8s tonight is going to get their mask ripped off their face.

Hogan said Bully Ray has got Devon tonight but that Angle can have Devon at Turning Point. Angle agreed & said he has backup & is ready to fight, Sting said lets go rip off some mask.

Backstage Samoa Joe was icing his head & said Magnus made a big mistake & lets throw out the rules. Joe said he will kill him.

Hardy gets a ladder & sets it up & climbs up it. Hardy said lets make our match at Turning Point a ladder match. Aries said he wasn’t going to do it.

A video was showed of the opening of Hogan’s Beach Shop where Matt Morgan confronted Hogan. Morgan took a old robe of Hogan’s & said to Hogan watch the history he makes with it. Hogan said you can’t take that & Morgan said that he just did. Hogan was watching a monitor in the back & he said starting to figure it out. James Storm approached Hogan & asked for a World Title shot. Hogan said if Storm was a betting man that he might have an idea for him.

AJ Styles came to the ring & said he should be the World Champion & told Roode to quit his crying. AJ called out Roode for a fight, Roode said no & then attacked AJ from behind. Hogan came out with James Storm & said both Roode & Styles deserve a title shot. Hogan made a match for Turning Point, A triple threat match with Roode, Styles & Storm where the winner gets a World Title shot but the person who gets pinned wont get another title shot until Bound For Glory next year.
