TNA Impact Bonus DVD

Since today’s video will be showcasing the TNA Impact video game, I might as well talk about the bonus DVD that the game came with at the time. It’s essentially a compilation disk of five gimmick matches from throughout TNA’s history featuring some of the stars showcased in the video game in question.

WWE Judgment Day 2008

“HHH retains the title.
There’s still no World champ.
Mickie James kept her belt – no one cares.
Cena wins yet again.
Lather, rinse, repeat.”
DTM, May 19th, 2008

In recent weeks, I’ve been going through the old blog posts from the old blog and sometimes I see nuggets such as this used to describe entire three hour show. For some reason, this one blurb has compelled me to load up this particular show on the Network… whether that was the original intent, I’ve long since forgotten.

March To Wrestlemania X

So in addition to “The March To Wrestlemania IX” that I wrote about yesterday and didn’t too much of, WWE Network also made available “The March To Wrestlemania X” special, which was the last push to one of the better Wrestlemania shows to bare the name.

March To Wrestlemania IX (WWE Hidden Gem – 1993 TV Special)

So this popped up on the Network, as did the March To Wrestlemania X, which we’ll touch on tomorrow… because sure, why not? It’s the last stretch to Mania, so it fits with the times. Unfortunately, there’s three more days to fill and that means I need to fill it with other stuff. Oh well.

In any event, what “The March To Wrestlemania IX” entails is a taped 1.5 hour special featuring some brief recaps to the upcoming event’s marquee matches, a couple interview segments, and even a couple matches taped for the crowd. There’s also a couple bits with radio personality Rob Barlett being stuck in the Manhattan Center in one of those trademark WWE comedy routines that’s almost never funny.

As per usual, I offer general thoughts on each match and maybe a bit of a recap, but those expecting full-on reviews of these shows should probably look elsewhere. That’s not my thing.
