The very first Impact featured an X Division title match in which i honestly couldnt understand how no one was killed
They hurtled around the ring at such a speed it seemed impossible they could walk away unharmed
That kind of action, while risky - would see TNA grew, but they have gone all WWE, slow matches, big men - strange in a show called 'TOTAL NONSTOP ACTION' we've seen the dreaded sleeper hold / catch your breath routine appear more and more often
Well you must have seen the signs when he went from "We are wrestling" to "Cross the line", not to turn this into another WWE vs. TNA argument per say but there are many weeks when WWE programming has more wrestling, heck I think ECW in one hour has outdone Impact's 2 for the amount of wrestling some weeks. With the stars they have I'd just want them for once to say, bollocks to it, here is a 25-30 minute television match featuring the X-Division stars. I mean in the past few months we seem to of had about 3 or 4 "2 minute" Ladder matches. If you are having a Ladder match, do it properly. Take
Doug Williams and
Homicide, you wouldn't think it from what you have seen of them, in the ring in the past few months, but if there Ladder Match had gone 25 minutes these 2 could have teared the house down. As they always state it could be one of those "Water cooler" moments at work, "Hey did you see that match on Impact...."
