Just got finishing watching Impact!

I liked how they started with a match, I'm a strong believer in all shows should start with a match or a brawl the in-ring segment right at the start is over done in both TNA and WWE.  It was a good opening match to, Magnus' chest looked **** and he sold it really well, nice table spot to finish as well, and if that Rob Terry can wrestle, then wow, there is a star there, he just has that star image.

The closing segment was very strong to, mainly because there was no Jarrett or Foley.  The Main Event Mafia just got better and there path of destruction continues, its fun but are TNA's stars going to get retribution?  Someone like Lashley needs to return to bolster the babyface ranks, at least they have Sting now.

Kip James on screen for 3 seconds....Yeah!  TV Time!

It has seemed odd to me for a while how TNA makes it small roster...seem smaller.  They re-use guys throughout the show at an alarming rate.  The Mafia had 2 in-ring segments, 3 matches featured Mafia guys, Beer Money had their own in-ring segment, 2 singles matches, Team 3D were at the start, showed up in the Beer Money segment and backstage later and it feels like Mick Foley is nearly ALWAYS there.

Where was the X-Division?

As for Victory Road, The Tag Picture looks nice, but Sharmell vs. Jenna?  Meh hopefully it means the end of at least one of them.  Oh and Nash vs. AJ Styles?  I like Nash as a character, he can talk no doubt but why have him wrestle?  I think Angle and Foley will pull something good off, mainly because of Angle.

When I saw the beatdown at the end of the show before the Mafia run-in I thought what a good monster team for the Mafia Joe and Morgan can make (Incidently I was surprised Joe hadn't got more...Mafia styled).  A tag bout would be a good idea Joe and Morgan vs. Sting and Daniels.
