TNA Impact Thread

Oh my god! Sure, I've only read the write up but impact seemed like sone sort of parody.

Impact is usually better than the write up suggests but this week might have had me watching Raw instead

This was pure Russo, complete with boxes to open. How is his nonsense more apparent now than when he was undisputed head writer?! I just finished his awful book where he said thanks to 'god' the Russo booking style was dead, this guy is certifiable!

Oh I fear the rating...

The Problem is they have old folks doing the writing and booking . They Need to bring in some young guys to spice things up.

uh oh! That was Vinnie Mac's thoughts...look where that got us

[timothy]

Yeah but Vince uses a lot of peeps that haven't . aren't fans of Wrestling. Bring in some writers who are fans of wrestling.

I just read it and heck I've gotta to download it for the final segment alone, honestly, at this rate how long 'til they go out of business, it sounds hilariously bad, but I do have a thing for Mrs Zombie Hot, so to the torrents....

How can u read wrestling and judge it?


Probably why it isn't as good.. if u know whats gonna happen, how can u possibly enjoy it?

Its like reading a spoiler to a movie you have been waiting to see...... when u go to the movies.. it isn't gonna have the same impact, cause u already know what happens.

Instead of finding every little fault, just sit back, suspend some disbelief and just enjoy it.



I am half through and I guarantee WWE won't put on a match like Angle and Anderson the rest of the year.

[Izzy]

TNA does all it can to ensure those in the UK can't actually watch it

D/L is pretty much all we can do - and that takes time, so the write up has to do while that 1 gig file loads...

Just week’s after TNA iMPACT moved to Monday nights, the company is already changing gears and making a move that many suggested from the beginning.

TNA President Dixie Carter announced via her twitter account that TNA iMPACT is permanently moving to 8PM (Eastern). iMPACT will remain 2 hours, but starting next week – the show will have a 1-hour lead-in to WWE RAW and will only go head-to-head with the first hour of RAW.

This week’s iMPACT was a test run to see how the show would do starting an hour earlier and the ratings were enough to convince TNA that a permanent shift is a good move. Monday’s iMPACT did a 0.85 rating, with the first unopposed hour drawing a 0.91 and the second hour, which went head-to-head with RAW, drew a 0.79.

Carter also announced on Twitter that SpikeTV will be adding a replay of iMPACT to its weekly schedule The replay will air Thursday nights at 9PM (Eastern), iMPACT’s old timeslot.

I very much enjoyed Impact this week

the opening segment with team flair vs team hogan was excellent


James Storm vs RVD was a very good match

Doug Williams vs Generation Me was entertaining

MCMG vs Team 3d was good

Angle vs Anderson was an awesome ladder match with Kurt taking a SICK bump

I like that they showcase the women's division and the box opening wasn't bad at all. i thought it was a decent concept.

[Izzy]

Will a replay effect Monday figures?

I'm tempted to say in a world of DVR - does it matter?

TNA Made 2 mistakes

1 they should've had a better plan after Jan 4th.. they got a massive rating but guess what? the next week... they weren't on to capitalize... I guarantee they would be doing great had they kept on Mondays.. now people just kinda lost interest.


2. Orlando Jordan bisexual **** in PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING? who the **** is sitting around going? WOW, wonder if Orlando JOrdan is gonna oil up his gay pal backstage? Must see TV!! i can just hear the remotes clicking!

So u counter Cena and Batista with some bisexual angle? U gotta be **** kidding me.. who is writing this ****


Sorry D, I thought when I was writing that part up that you would like part.......LOL! Thank God I did not see that because I would have stop watching TNA all together, and I would have sold my ticket for this week's TNA house show too!

[Izzy]

The Jordan angle seems to be controversy just for the sake of it

...but imagine the pay off if Matt Morgan, Abyss or Rob Terry just flattened him next week on impact - highest rated segment ever!

[AtariLegend]

Honestly... if they have Daffney vs.  Angelina Love in a strip naked or get fired match... i'll be tunning in.

[Izzy]

Wasn't that the gist of this weeks impact?

[Hammy]

Wasn't that the gist of this weeks impact?

I think he was saying though he wants them to stick to the stipulation, 100%, rather than tease the fans and then not follow through, although how are Spike TV about nudity?  

In other ratings news...

Hulk Hogan’s camp was predicting a 2.0 rating for the March 8th iMPACT where he was going to wrestle. They figured a 2.0 based on the idea that they did a 1.5 on the first Monday show this year, not realizing that they did much lower in the two head-to-head hours.
