I figured since this will be shown on Spike (at some point) we could start this thread and discuss it. (Triple S, if this isn't needed feel free to lock it)
TNA Footage (1/3/09): On Friday night U.S. time, a contingent of TNA Superstars arrived in Japan to prepare for Sunday's huge wrestling event at the Tokyo Dome featuring TNA's best taking on the athletes of New Japan Pro Wrestling! Check out exclusive video before the big event from Jeremy Borash below:
TNA Results:
Team 3D defeated Togji Makabe & Toru Yano in "Hardcore Match" to become the NEW IWGP Tag Team Champions
The Motor City Machineguns defeated Yujiro & Naito to become the NEW IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions!

I love when TNA goes over to Japan. Last year's Global Impact show was excellent, and hopefully this year's will be better. The show better be on DVD, because I want to see some extras. It's really cool. If you don't have the 2008 Global Impact DVD, get it.

I can't wait to see Team 3D job out to TenKoji. You mean job to GBH because Tenzan is out with an eye injury. Honestly, TNA SHOULD try and show more than just matches they have and show case international talent. Outside of the Guns' match, TNA really doesn't have anything good. We saw 3D vs Yano and Makabe last year, only difference is this year it's for the belts. |

I like how everyone is dressed up except for most of the TNA guys.

I like how everyone is dressed up except for most of the TNA guys. It seems Alex went for the more casual, yet still passable in a semi-important occasion. Where as Team 3D just didn't bother do anything but wake up and put something on. Hawdcore! |

I personally will probably buy it but sell it right after just like I did Global Impact 1.

I wasn't expecting Shelley and Sabin to pick up the straps. Good for them.
