TNA Impact Thread

The idiots on the net made impact sound awful - but I thought it was another good edition

it's really quite intense these days

I think I might be the biggest Rob Terry mark going - think his gimmick is great and he can certainly wrestle. That chair shot was horrendous - you could tell he was seeing stars, why did they allow it?! That he was actually busted open really sealed it but I hope we don't see more blows like that - Terry must have been really injured.

oh don't worry - I read the write ups but watch the show too

thought they had a good balance between promos and wrestling, thought all the matches bar pop v Wolfe were good and the ladder match was ppv quality

Kurt Angle is easily the best wrestler to have ever lived - his work rate and ability to make anyone look good is superb. If only he was 10 years younger - I fear he's got fewer days in the ring ahead of him than he has behind

Providing TNA minimises Hogan and Bischoff's onscreen roles we should be okay - some weeks they forget the show isn't about them...

Tried to tell u.

[D]

U know i was thinking, I never remember Kennedy being this good of an in ring worker.....

but Kurt makes him look like the greatest wrestler of all time

[Izzy]

He was also excellent in a series of matches against HBK early 2008 - that should have been a feud that atleast got a ppv finish, superb matches

[Izzy]

Impact looked great this week

...and Raw was, well...bland

[Izzy]

Hmm

Even I was left wondering at the booking this week. The 'leather and lace' match that never was, camera men in really weird locations....hmmm, tempted to say it was a bit of a mess

Bothers me that right now the Global Title and the Team Flair v Team Hogan match are of far greater importance than than the TNA title - AJ Styles is the forgotten man of TNA (okay maybe Joe is...)

TNA is always interesting but sometimes I think they need to spend time proof reading things. Maybe they are in a rush, maybe Russo is a fuckin idiot, maybe they are just trying too hard, I dunno.

RAW is unspeakably dreadul - but atleat I don't spend 2 hours going 'WTF?'

[D]

TNA finally got it right tonight

excellent booking througout excellent show!

[Izzy]

Wow, title changed on impact, can't remember the last time that happened

wish we could get impact over here without waiting an eternity or needing torrents

[More Cowbell]

We all know TNA changed plans sometime last minute. They knew RAW talent wasn't going to be in the USA so a shitty show was going to be thrown together. (And it was. Worst RAW EVER? Possibilly, Hell the RAW tribute to Chris Benoit was more interesting then 3 shitting pointless matches) Anyways they knew RAW had a weak ass hand and they capitilized on it and CASH in the Money in the bank. Brought back JOE, RVD world CHAMPION. RVD vs Hardy hell of a match. I'm not going to lie TNA cashed in ****, I know there were a few mistakes but nothings perfect. TNA has it going on. I like the Global title and they should Keep it around UK talent they say that is a market they can catch WWE in so why not have a title fued involving a UK brand wrestler all the time. They are covering that market. RVD, J Hardy, Angle, The Best in ring wrestlers today. Hogan Vs Flair. RVD Hardy, Anderson,

I think Its TIME to bring in a TNA game to this message board. Its far more interesting and if no one else wants to bring this **** here I will be glad to set it up. I was actually on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next.   TNA has a PLAN now they just need to cut into the WWE market.

[Izzy]

Indeed - TNA has drastically upped its game the last month or so - its not always been great, but its never been dull

I read these daft sites praising WWE and damning TNA and I have to ask - do they just hate 'fun'? WWE is just sooo dull

[Hammy]

I haven't watched in like a month, this definately has me interested, I think I'll watch it Saturday Night, see how it plays out, not to be negative though, but was it wise to use up 2 dream PPV matches on one show just to try and spike a rating?  Shouldn't the first RVD vs Styles and RVD vs Hardy (in TNA) received the slow build, big PPV blow off treatment?

[Izzy]

finally got round to watching impact

absurdly strong show - kept the blasted promos down and dedicated more time to wrestling

They really are 90% of the way to having this whole wrestling thing sorted. Only issues this week was the fact AJ was buried (guy fights 4 matches and still triumphs?) oh, we still have the Abyss ring thing too

Ironically, Jeff Hardy and RVD are helping to boost the X Division style even while they remain outside of the division.

People moan TNA doesn't have an identity - well, its as distinct from WWE as its possible to be

One question - so Rayne and Sky won the Knockout tag title and the champions are now Sky and Von Erich? U wot?

Same question goes to the TNA tag titles - whoever teams with Morgan becomes the tag champ? So is Red now a former champ? How is this working...

[D]

Morgan is doing an awesome gimmick where he is like 2 people and everytime someone tags, they still his thunder and he looks like an even bigger monster by stomping them


Bischoff is unveiling this awesome ranking system next Monday.. he is trying to be innovative and do something new. I can't wait.

well, WWE were almost on hiatus so u gotta take a shot at drawing in new viewers. If wwe can have Orton vs HHH or Cena vs whoever 500 times.... im sure TNA can still have RVD vs AJ or RVD vs Hardy on a PPV
