Frank Trigg vs. A.J. Styles

[Transcendent Sunchips]

Remember when Ken Shamrock, Tank Abbott, and Dan Severn did pro wrestling?

Better yet, does anybody ever remember the time when David Arquette won the WCW championship? Yes, the David Arquette.

I wasn't aware that TNA has staged these type of fights before. I have never 'really' watched TNA.

I was aware that some pro wresters train in MMA and BJJ (namely The Undertaker). To be honest, I don't know if TNA is trying to develop as a sort of UFC offshoot or if they are just trying to tap further into the MMA fan base.

I think that it would be a hell of a show if the WWE would alter their product and pit their fighters against one another (trained just as they are) in real fights.

MMA is popular so wrestling crosspromotes when they can. They wheel out boxers occasionally, football players, stand-up comedians, pop stars, etc. This is sort of a big "So what?" really. You either enjoy the spectacle or not.

PS: AJ Styles by crazy backward upside down spinkick.

Don't count him out? I'd bet that Styles is scripted to win.

Uh.... err... hmmm, I think he meant that Styles had fighting skills.

I saw Trigg on TNA last week while flipping through channels because I was too cheap to buy the UFC 88 PPV. I'm cool with Trigg making extra money, but he needs to go to a different promotion, preferably one that doesn't have Kurt Angle. Them dudes look TOO MUCH ALIKE. It's confusing.

Or maybe they could do a storyline with them as long-lost brothers or something, that could work.

Prowrestling and MMA have the same demographic so it makes sense. Kurt Angle has been training MMA for a while for a supposed switch to MMA which will never happen, but he had an MMA fight with Samoa Joe for the title at the last PPV and won.

The Undertaker does not train MMA or BJJ anyone more than some you watches TUF trains MMA.

It's called 'The Pele', noob!

That's actually the point. Trigg is playing Angles life long friend who is now making the switch to prowrestling, which probably has some truth to it. He's basically playing Angle's heel sidekick which is where his feud with Styles stems from.


Now that I've thoughouly embarrased myself by exposing the fact that I watch TNA every week, I'd just preemtively tell you all to go to hell for mocking I'm sure to receive.

*BURSTS into tears*


The Fabulous Ones don't like being called noobs!

[Goju - Joe]

Angle and Trigg have know each other for like 20 years from wrestling days

Most high level wrestlers of the same age and demo know each other

Uh, hmmm, errrr, I think that's what he meant too.

Doesn't matter whether he does or doesn't, the script is what matters.

You do know prowrestling is fake, right? (sorry 3moose) They've had these 'MMA fights' before on TNA and they're about as real as the wrestling. Don't be fooled just because Frank Trigg joined the cast of TNA.

ITS 3moose1. with a one.

you're hurting my feelings, razamaFAG
