TNA really needs to get the F out of the IMPACT Zone...it is a detriment to their product on top of the seemingly endless detriments they put on themselves.

It is a far too predictable crowd that is either "smarks" that try way too hard or folks just wandering around Disney that don't give a fuck. The result is a crowd that goes dead often and one that does not add to the match like a good crowd should.

Hate that crowd in Orlando.

ROFL @ Kennedy with the Family Guy reference. Terrible match though.

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Ok, just finished watching this thing...I'll give it this...it was a safe base hit for the "new TNA"...wasn't a great PPV, but it was good enough to watch a few of the matches.

The Good
- Pope/Wolfe
- Kendrick/Red
- I enjoyed the Morley/Daniels match
- All but the end of Angle/Styles...however, I feel as though I've seen this before...it wasn't a "special" match, as it probably should have been, but it was good\

The Bad:
- I'm sick of Hogan and Bischoff claiming change. STFU, get your mug off TV and show me something.
- ODB and Tara was terrible.
- The Kennedy/Abyss match...brutal.
- Tag Title match was excessively forgettable. Blah. I am not into a tag team of Hernandez and Morgan...trying way too hard putting them together.
- Watching Kevin Nash in the ring is brutal these days.
- Scott Hall...still a mope. Such a mope they don't even want him in a ring for a match because it'd be so embarrassing.
- Whatever they are doing with Bobby Lashley...it sucks.
- LOL @ the ending of Styles/Angle.

Here is my beef...

NO ONE WANTS TO BOO AJ STYLES!

AJ Styles, is, for the most part, TNA's version of Sting...not quite as awesome as Sting, but he is their version of Sting...NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE wants to boo AJ...they tried this already by making him a lackey...no one wants to boo him...EVER. Especially those mopes in the IMPACT Zone.

Why make him a heel?

Fuckin' TNA.

Like I said, a base hit...not unwatchable, had a few matches that were watchable, although, nothing memorable, but a lot of the same ole junk that makes TNA, TNA.

TNA fukin sux

[FedEx227]

Always a good PPV when Samoa Joe and the MCMG don't get booked but Val Venis and Kevin Nash does.

Way to go TNA!

[SuperKevin]

I've come to the conclusion that if you wrestled in WWE you're an instant star in TNA. That appears to be their only booking criteria

[IamMedellin]

are hogan And bischoff faces? or heels?
They kiss the crowd's ass n then cut the fans down b/c of their reaction...

Theyre saying they dont wanna be sports entertainment, and then roll out Val Venis...as a face!!
Daniels gets cheered for pointing this out and then heels on the crowd..And then loses to a 1990's relic

New aquisition Kennedy is apparently a face thats getting boo'd
TNA champ AJ Styles is a heel thats still getting cheered!!

no J Hardy...no Samoa Joe

WHo The fuk is booking this Shit!?!

[FedEx227]

A sweet cauldron of Vince Russo (who has no clue), Bischoff (who has no clue) and Hogan (who has no clue).

[BazookaJoe5]

Eric Bischoff is still awesome as an on-screen character. That's about the best thing I can say about him...

[Warner2BruceTD]

There are three people who could come into TNA tommorow and book in a cohesive, logical manner:

-Jim Cornette
-Paul Heyman
-Gabe Sapolsky

That's not to say any of them could make miracles and TNA would explode, but step one is good, solid booking.

They had Cornette and wasted him. Heyman likely isnt interested, but I bet that would change if you paid him whatever you are pissing away on Hogan & friends. Sapolsky would probably do it, but they've never tried to get him before so they probably never will.

The best man for the job is Heyman. He's been away, so his mind if fresh. He has always had his pulse on pop culture and what's "it". He's the best in the business at accentuating the positives in guys and turning shit into gold. He knows how to get young stars over.

Cornette would book logically but his style is too old school for 2010.

Sapolsky would have to adjust to the time constraints of TV, and guys who arent as athletically talented compared to what he's used to in ROH & Dragon Gate.

This post is a waste because none of them will ever book TNA.

[JayDizzle]

Undertaker doesn't want to fight HBK at Wrestlemania and Michaels doesn't want to give us the Wrestlemania Rematch for free tonight...



So...we pretty much know Rey Mysterio ain't winning in two weeks, but that's a given because Taker eats MFers like him for lunch.

Also, HBK lays claim to winning the Rumble itself so that shit don't matter.

What's the point of getting the PPV?

Oh wait, I know... Neither will win their match due to Shawn getting tossed and him getting so pissed that he costs Taker the title.

End result, Taker accepts the match on the premise of revenge so it makes sense.

[Bigpapa42]

Actually, my guess for Royal Rumble is Triple H eliminating HBK, setting up a feud between them for WM. The winner will be Cena, who will challenge Taker at WM.

TNA taping spoilers...

 

So they apparently do Styles-Angle again... with a screwjob finish. That's right - they prove they are different than the WWE by emulating one of the WWE's most infamous moments. Awesome.

Orlando Jordan over Pope

Nasty Boys over Nash-Young

Really? Fuck you TNA. Fuck you.

[BazookaJoe5]

Anyone catch Lawler call Orton "Randy Savage" tonight?

Also, I am liking Jon Heder as host. The crowd doesn't really seem to be into him but he is a naturally funny guy.

[BazookaJoe5]

lmao @ "The Flame" from a "Great Ball of Fire". LOL.

[IamMedellin]

LMFAO...THE FLAME!!!!

UGH....I wish I had a real Nature Boy robe
