According to Meltzer, Shocker will part of a 4-way X-Division match next week.

All the reports I've seen have said that it would be a one-on-one match with Negro Casas. Unfortunately, I don't have PPV capabilities, otherwise they would be sure to get my funds, if for no other reason than to show support for bringing in the EMLL talent.
That said, I don't think Negro would be the right choice for this. Not wanting to bring in singles guy who is more of a tag team guy (Guerreros del Infierno, Familia de Tijuana, Tiger/Wagner), I'd choose Black Warrior. If nothing else, his insane topes would give him a better chance of getting over than Negro.
Very cool. TNA's X Division would obviously benefit from bringing in more international juniors. I still won't order the ppv, but it's great they're bringing in a few new faces.

Doesn't this quote really much symbolize the TNA experience? It's a better idea on paper than it is in actual theory.

Oliva: You are the weakest link! Goodbye!
Stewie: Ahahaha. Oh God, that's funny. That's really funny. You write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. 'You are the weakest link. Goodbye!' You know I've never heard anyone make that joke before. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference that outside program before. Because that's what she says on the show, right? Hmmm? 'You are the weakest link. Goodbye!' And ye...ye..yet you've taken it and....and used it out of context to insult me in this everyday situation. What a clever, smart girl you must be. To come up with a joke like that all by yourself. Mmmmm...that's so fresh too. Any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me as long as we're hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity. Mmmm? Cuz i'm here God you're so funny!
I'd watch NWA-TNA anyway, great show no matter who's on though there are a few guys that make the show. (Raven, AMW, SandMan, Trinity, Eric Watts, The Gathering, etc.)
Last night it should have been watched for the 'FUCK VINCE' T-Shirt being worn all night alone. ;D
I was really impressed by how last night's show looked (I didn't order it but saw a few versions of the results online). I'm digging the Styles, Sabin, Trinity, Russo alliance. I'm interested to see who D'Lo's equalizer is. Frankie Kazarian in only his 3rd or 4th TNA match got a world title shot last night and had one helluva match with AJ Styles. Then we find out that Shocker and Negro Casas will be on next week.
I'm definitely tempted to order next week's show. Gives me a reason to pull out my "1000% GUAPO" shirt again too.
IF the Jarrett's and the Panda people are smart, they would try to find a way to build everything up and heavily promote the July 16th episode. That is the one day of the year where there will be no (major American) sports events as competition due to the baseball All-Star break, thus its the night they can draw in those who are left with watching log rolling on ESPN2.
Where have you gone Gene Rayburn, a nation turns it lonely eyes to you.

Log rolling is coming on again the 16th? Sweet, let me mark my calendar!
If it's a four way - Dave says so and who knows between now and then - Black Warrior is good because he won't have to do it all himself. I think I'd probably more like to see Black Tiger or Dr. Wagner Jr. there (Ultimo and Rey have to come in together in a tag match. HAVE TO. BY LAW. AND THEN THEY WIN. I'M SUCH A MARK). But Zumbido would be cool. Virus would be cool. One of the spotty flying guys - Marvin, Volador - would be good in the right situation. Actually it'd be intersting to see Vampiro but C'MON.
But I suspect that Casas' influnce leads him to getting this shot ahead of other guys. Or maybe he was just free that day, who knows. I'd sure want Casas there if this was going to be a trios match, but I don't think he's the style they're looking for here. And I worry about a style clash with two guys who haven't worked with other two guys ever.
