Tonight is the final edition of Impact Wrestling before the big event on 4/11/13, when no fewer than two titles will be defended.

Bully-Brooke Summit

TNA World Champ Bully Ray really wants to speak with Mrs. Ray, but she just isn’t returning his phone calls.  Perhaps Bully missed a golden opportunity to call out Brooke on last week’s Open Fight Night, but he’ll likely force a confrontation tonight.  Bully Ray has made it abundantly clear that he and his wife are together ’til death, and there’s nothing for the Hogan’s to offer to get him to change his mind.  Still, you can fully expect to see the Hulkster intervene.

Number-one contender Jeff Hardy should also get in the mix somehow.  It always seems like Hardy is an afterthought when it comes to the World Title, even when he was champion.

The Coolest Pic You’ll See All Day

No April Fools Schtick here.

This is undeniably a very cool pic. From Hacksaw Jim Duggan’s Facebook page comes this great photo which looks like it’s from their WCW days. The outfits are deliciously late 80′s-90′s, Macho Man and Hogan are in full gimmick, and Hacksaw is wearing American Flag pants. You think anyone wants a roundhouse kick to the face while he’s wearing those bad boys?

Gee, I wonder what the big story will be for Impact Wrestling tonight…

Be sure to Tweet us during the show, @DukesWrestling!

Family Feud

As has been well covered at this point, Bully Ray seduced a woman half his age in order to get the General Manager to grant him a world title shot, in an effort to bring power and prestige to his rogue biker gang.  (Cool?  Cool.)

That’s where we were after Sunday’s Lockdown pay-per-view.  Bully Ray had his time on the microphone to gloat following his victory over Jeff Hardy, and he’ll likely do more of the same tonight.  However, GM Hogan and Executive-in-Charge-of-the-Knockouts (ECK) Brooke will also have the opportunity to respond.  How does Hulk plan to follow-up on his threat (“You’re a dead man”) to President Bully Ray?  How quickly does Brooke get the divorce papers drawn up?  These questions, and more, need to be addressed tonight.

Impact Wrestling Preview – 2/28/2013

by Richard Martel on February 28, 2013 in Articles, Show Preview with Comments Off

It’s the final day of February 2013.  If you’re doing the math at home, it’s been about a month since you last saw Jeff Hardy on Impact Wrestling.  Hardy was pulled from the organization’s tour of England due to his 2009 legal issues in the country.  As a result, the World Championship match for the upcoming pay-per-view has had even less build-up than usual.

Hulk Hogan himself said last week that, if it were up to him, Hardy would have been stripped of the title so that the company could tour with its champion.  But, here we are.  A month older, a month wiser, and 10 days out from one of the four TNA pay-per-views of calendar year 2013.  TNA is stateside, so there are two episodes of Impact Wrestling to build a feud and (in an ideal world) a meaningful match between arguably the company’s two top faces.

That said, tonight’s preview is after the jump.  Enjoy, and remember to tweet us @DukesWrestling during the show.

Impact Wrestling Preview – 2/14/13

The British Invasion rolls on!  It may be Valentine’s Day, but tell your lady (or dude) that you’ll be spending it watching Impact Wrestling and tweeting the guys from @DukesWrestling.

Impact’s pre-recorded tonight, but this preview is unspoiled.  Let’s do this.

Who Is The #1 Contender?

Tournament alert!

GM Hulk Hogan has to decide who’ll face World Champ Jeff Hardy in just over a month at Lockdown.  Normally the Hulkster would do this by bringing a bunch of guys into a room and, through a series of backstage segments, decide who impressed him the most.  However, it looks like the powers-that-be finally came to their senses and decided a series of actual wrestling matches could be more entertaining.  What’s better, we get a #1 Contender’s tournament out of the deal!  It’s my understanding that just the first round matches will take place tonight.

  • Kurt Angle vs. Samoa Joe
  • Magnus vs. Christopher Daniels
  • Austin Aries vs. Bobby Roode
  • James Storm vs. Rob Van Dam

I unapologetically love tournaments.  You’re either with me, or against me.

Conspicuous by his absence is son-in-law Bully Ray, who reportedly suffered a leg injury in last week’s table match.  But, fear not.  Impact Wrestling is advertising that Bully and wife Brooke will be in England to celebrate V-Day.  No chance whatsoever the festivities get broken up by, say, a band of rogue bikers.

More after the jump.
