Soooo...the belt is Macho and Miss Elizabeth's buzz-in device?

It looks like the ref is crawling into Taminas ass in that gif.

<iframe frameborder="0" width="480" height="270" src="http://www.dailymotion.com/embed/video/xomd44_jesse-sorenson-vs-zema-ion_sport"></iframe><br /><a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xomd44_jesse-sorenson-vs-zema-ion_sport" target="_blank">Jesse Sorenson vs. Zema Ion</a> <i>by <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/xenalawless" target="_blank">xenalawless</a></i>

Here's the injury. Zema Ion definitely over-rotated.

Kind of concerns me that Ion didn't even check on him and the ref just got back into the ring to count out instead of calling directly for support.

Was watching TNA's Against All Odds. To be honest it wasn't a bad PPV, and the biggest criticism I have is the commentating. Tenay and Borash are awful. So incredibly boring. There is just no enthusiasm in their voices, as all these huge spots are taking place they just sit there and call the action in dull, boring, monotonic voices.

You can all criticise Michael Cole for 'going off topic' and 'burying the talents', but at least he does it with enthusiasm in his voice.

I was thinking the same thing. I guess nobody can ever truly prepare for these things though, so when they do happen your reaction could be completely the opposite of what you'd like to think you would do.

Well that's just the risk you take doing moves like that. Though there was a time when you had to be a total pro to even be able to do moves like that, Jericho, HBK, Ultimo Dragon as some examples. I don't think you can blame Ion, just really unfortunate.

I think Jesse told the ref he was okay, or the ref thought he was just selling. I'd say Jesse was knocked senseless and was trying to fight out of it.

No, Cole's voice is the most annoying thing.

Why was Borash was commentating? I haven't watched a TNA PPV in ages, but was Taz there as well? Tenay isn't great, but I would take him over cole in a heartbeat. That's any version of Cole, not just "heel" Cole.

I did prefer him on colour in WCW though. He was great as the professor.

Taz's brother-in-law died, so he was at home with his family. JB was a last-minute replacement.

Ah, fair play then. I thought TNA made another batshit insane decision for a second there.

Yeah, but they should have protocol. If that happened in WWE the match would have stopped dead and with good reason.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but still, the refs at least should be trained for these situations.

Sorrenson was definitely out of position. Meltzer said it best on radio today, Ion did the right thing by walking out and playing character. That was the professional way to handle it.

Sorrenson flinched and paid for it, it sucks. He'll recover. Xema probably feels like shit, I'm sure, but he landed how he was supposed to to be caught on the shoulder.

I'd blame the ref more than Ion regarding the after the move situation.

Ion was playing to the crowd the whole time so either he had a feeling something went wrong (ala Owen Hart when he injured Austin) while the ref half-assed the counting and didn't even bother to finish the count out. Ref probably wasn't sure what to do until very late and just ended the match.

Yeah in that clip, Jesse whoever dives over the top rope and crash-and-burns on the outside and Tenay is just like '...bad landing by Jesse Whoever in this #1 contenders match'... :|

We don't need second generation Droz.

What?

We had a spammer earlier

Nice

Fuck Sorenson got hit bad there hope he's alright. Anyone got an update on the dude's condition?

From PWInsider:

TNA posted the following statement from President Dixie Carter this afternoon:

"Jesse Sorensen has sustained a C1 vertebrae fracture with spinal cord edema. He is slowly regaining feeling and movement in his arms and legs. He wants to thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Once we speak to the neurosurgeon, we will pass on more details."

The way his arm kinda bent when he hit the mat looked nasty.

Oh shit, that sounds pretty nasty. Hope the guy pulls through.

God damn that sucks.... Here's to hoping he comes out of it. Always liked the dude's work in the ring solid flyer.

I have an Austin shirt that I just found but the Austin 3:16 is on the fucking back and wearing the shirt backwards makes me look like a tard. :(

wow looks really bad..

well to be fair Daniels does do the Best Moonsault Ever

Next Impact! has Xima Ion wearing a "XEMA 3:16" shirt a la Owen.

I think the running commentary speaks volumes about how people view the talent roster of TNA X-Div... or even just lower-tier wrestlers altogether, around here. Botched high-risk spot between Ion/Sorensen and "Flippy McFlipperton shouldn't be doing all that bullshit!!1!". Miz misses R-Truth, and he's not getting railed nearly as much because he's the fucking Miz, an established WWE guy that will get the benefit of the doubt, even though Killings could have easly fell on his own damn head.

The only true difference here is someone got hurt in one and the other was lucky. Those are the risks they take. We could play pass the blame all day, but at the end of the day, that could have happened to anyone on any given night. Yes, even from Daniels' BME.

"The Cameraman" was released from the aftermath of a missed mark from an Undertaker dive a couple years back. No one really mentioned past the Royal Rumble how Hunico could have suffered the same fate because Camacho was ALL THE WAY on the other side of the ring.

I'm not blaming either guy. It was a damned accident. Those occasionally happen in wrestling. Hell, one of the greatest mat wrestlers of all time (Kurt Angle) has had some pretty nasty looking/landing moonsaults. So has Lesnar. And Rey Rey. And both Hardys. Even goddamn Jericho. No one is calling for any of their heads. This one guy fucks up once, and the IWC Gestapo wants to railroad him out of the business. Get the fuck outta here with that noise.

The best that can come out of this is the following progression: Ion and TNA spin this into character development, Xema doesn't get discouraged because he hurt someone to the point where he becomes self-conscious and even more dangerous due to "safety overcompensation", checks on Jesse out of decent human compassion, Sorensen makes a full recovery, they play this up into an angle when Jesse returns, and life moves on. No one needs to be bitter or little about this.

It would be a different story if either guy were drunk or high or something.

That's my thought on the matter, and that's all I'm saying. Flame away if you want.

ANYONE ELSE would've had their shoulder in Xema's midsection. That's how you're trained. Sorrenson is green and made a mistake. He's paying for it. Xema feels bad, but he has done that move longer than Sorrenson has been wrestling and hasn't KO'd anyone else with it. There's no other way to look at the situation.

He's been doing that horrible looking knees tucked to the face moonsault for ages? He should feel bad for doing ugly moves, let alone the injury.

I will be getting one of these for my nephew (and maybe one for myself).

Why are there two Ortons?

Those are horrible

Forgot about the dancing pec gimmick.

Better question is why is Cena whiter than Sheamus?

I'd rather see a CM Punk than a second Orton.

I would seriously give up one of my balls to see a 2-3 year off and on program between CM Punk (heel) and James Storm (face).

Don't think I'd go that far but that would be an awesome program though 2-3 years seems a tad long don't ya think? Honestly I'd just like to see James Storm as he is now you know same gimmick, same name, same theme in WWE. The guy is good in the ring and perfectly acceptable on the mic as a face. Plus I love the whole southern/cowboy gimmick(could be the southwesterner in me). Not enough guys who use that today.

Also on the whole Ion/Sorenson thing I'm not gonna go and tell Xema to "Get the hell out" or anything. I do feel it was more his fault, but it was still an accident, and accidents happen in wrestling. The guy should get demoted on the card for it no doubt, but as JR usta say "It aint ballet."

Almost bought it, wishing i had now.

I know, when I was watching it, I almost thought I had started watching the greatest episodes of Raw in that period.

Then it all culminates with Deadly Game and The Rock winning the tournament and as a 2 hour show, Raw gets even better :'(

Spoilers Hasney,FFS:shifty:

Im gonna go buy it now,im convinced.

Holy fuck that first one looked brutal.

And the DX turning on Hornswoggle thing was so fucking stupid. Have your top faces beat up a midget... makes a ton of sense. lol

The best was when JBL launched Hornswoggle into the cage.

Swog can take a bump

You're the only person who feels like this. 1vs100. You're being a contrarian for the sake of doing so. I don't get it.

I'm not going to comment on anything else he's ever done, but if he's ever come down from a moonsault almost directly vertically with his knees tucked like that, then someone should have had a word back then before someone go hurt.

It's a fucking ridiculous, dangerous and ugly move performed the way he does in that video.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY. GO FUCK YOURSELF.

What he did was the equivalent of a double flying knee, cmon.

Well as long as you admit it, I guess it's okay.

You really believe that? I can see how the camera angle makes it look like that, but I honestly think it was a just an awkward moonsault.

Senator Linda @SenatorLinda Close
Listen up CT ladies! Keep this under your hat, but if you murder him on Valentine's Day, you're sure to get a movie deal! So, kill him! NOW!

brilliant

it absolutely was a very awkward moonsault, which is the entire problem in the first place

By him over rotating and tucking, he had enough force of a flying knee there. He might've been a little short too looking back at it.

If I was a wrestler, I'd be terrified of doing anything that I haven't perfected doing first.

Actually the problem was a guy staring up at the sky like the challenger just exploded out and being out of position. The knee was just an added perk.

OK Guy.

The moonsault was shit. It was terribly executed and dangerous. Can we all at least agree on that?

Anybody reasonable can agree but Jimmy is so far up the "Indy" guy's ass that he can't see what's right in front of him.

His pro-ROH/Indy stance is so bad that Jimmy is virtually a sock account nowadays.

The Anti-Gertner.

This was quite hilarious too. Claiming to have the majority on side when it's quite clear to anybody reading the thread that that's not the case.

Kinda. But with Gertner you can kinda sense that most of what he says is for the "rise" from people. Jimmy seems to actually believe the shit he says.

Of course, that's just my interpretation.

I gotta agree with CSL through all of this as well...piece of crap moonsault..it was like Evan Bourne's double knee but in a moonsault variation..lol

Wow Shelton Benjamin's twitter name sucks.

Krylon sounds like a bad ass name for a new wrestler

Yeah, after having seen the moonsault, that think was ugly. Yeah, Sorenson may have been out of place, but I don't think he would have eaten a knee like that if the move wasn't that badly done.

Just playing the Devil's advocate here, but is it possible that Ion tucked his knees after he saw that Sorenson was out of position? Hence the accident?

Fuck WWE PG. I want Eve in Playboy.

Happy Valentines Day Russo. He's out of the TNA organization all together.

TNA and Vince Russo have mutually parted ways as of this week. The separation is amicable and professional.

We are glad for the opportunity to have worked together and wish each other nothing but good luck and success in the future.

I just though he was out of the creative spot. I thought they were giving him some other job in the company.

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh 1 down!
