IMPACT on Spike 8P/7C -Hardcore Fallout

[Smart Ass Monkey]

Is TNA perfect? No. But next week they're finally ending one of the sillier angles of the last few years, an angle that would have been complete crap if not for the people involved.
And the next angle they've been building for a couple months now is really coming to a head next week.

More per capita match time, higher ratio of match to not-match, and they're not overwhelming the fans with story lines. The BFG Series has been phenomenal in providing great matches, and that's coming on the tail end of the X Division series.

They still have quite a way to go, but as long as TNA can keep this kind of momentum, they can't fail in entertaining us.

Alright... Caught part of Impact while flipping between it and the Packers. Yes, I watch pre-season football. I want to know the names of the new guys I'll be screaming at. Packers looked like hell after the first team hit the bench. Graham Nash would've looked better under center than current #2 QB Graham Harrell. Granted his line and receivers changed from series to series, I need to see him with the first team before I start making a blade.

Anyways, I saw the KO's match, Rooooooooooooooooooooooooo's promo and Bubba/Hardy live. Just watched Styles/Daniels thanks to the interwebs.

My thoughts:
- Madison and Tess seemed to not click. Seemed a little botchy. I thought Tiffany or Tarynn or whatever she's going by did a great job reffing. I appreciated that she didn't do a fast count for the finish. Also, was she not wired? There doesn't appear to be a clock in the Impact Zone which leads to the refs telling the other workers to go home. And, yeah. That's how you do it. Booker tells you to go about X minutes, hit these spots, boom boom boom, go home. Guys/girls look at the arena clock.
- Bobby's promo was great. The crowd sucked.
- Bubba/Hardy was good. The A/8's portion was alright. They were a non-factor in the actual match. Bubba's selling into the finish was awesome.
- There wasn't any blow in the A/8's hideout. I would think that drugs or stolen items would be in a biker gang's hideout. Looked like a storage locker. I was looking for Dave Hester. I liked the strategic placement of the hand truck covering the pin-up's tits.
- AJ/Daniels was awesome. Great work, great selling, nice spot when Brian busted Kaz. Keep the heat on the wrestlers.

Crowd sucked ass. The tourist crowd is a challenge to the workers as they have to get themselves over every week with them since the tourists don't know who they are. This should be a blessing in disguise but sometimes it ain't.

/Packers sucked ass, too. Bad thing is, all of their preseason games are on Thursday.
//Gotta watch the Pack to talk about them on the air.
///Colt interviews Bill Apter. Listen to it.

IF IT WASNT FOR THIS WRESTLING COMMUNITY AND THE TWRNetwork PODCASTS AND THAT WHOLE COMMUNITY I'D STOP WATCHING WRESTLING AGAIN.

These shows are boring and occasionaly stupid. Both shows have about 20 minutes of entertainment with the rest insulting my god damned intelligence.

*Fluk yourself. lol

*"Never know what will come out of the mouth at Jeff Hardy". Yeah, true. WE DO know what goes up his nose though.

*How can you roll the dice and "Get a dead man's hand"? Cards do not = dice dummies.

*3 minute match between Joe and Magnus? 2 of your better workers in a match that lasts as long as a Del Rio vs Santino match? REALLY?

*Brooke Hogan IS ON MY TV (COMPUTER). MAKE. IT. STOP. This segment is dumb as hell. Let me be clear, I'm not saying anything negative about her personally (I'd probably hit it). I'm suggesting that she is a terrible actress and could proabably care less about wrestling. She has never made a story or even a segment "better". EVER.

*World Tag Team champions of the world. I still love that line.

*AJ vs Daniels goes over 10 minutes. Love it. Highlight of the night, no doubt.

*Bobby Roooooooooo cuts a good promo.... until emo mode kicked in at the end. I hope they don't stick with that for him.

*Gut Check YAWN.

*Teran tureel? Huh? Pretty, of course. Why and who though? WHy?

*And the Knockouts Division sinks down another rung thanks to Brooke Hogan and random pretty celeb doing nothing of value and being a complete unkown to ...welll... EVERYONE. It's not Diva's bad, since they actually HAVE matches every week. The way it's being handeled though? Hard to think anyone actually enjoys the Knockouts division like we used to. I mean, they have went from having a Mickie James and someone in a cage match *MAIN EVENT* on Impact to "Brooke Hogan runs things and brings out people that mean nothing to the crowd".

*BRD does nothing for me. "Twittah machine" is amusing. He just doesn't peak my interest at all.

*So your main event is tag team wrestlers circa WWF 2000. Greaaaat. Isn't the joke that TNA is where WCW guys come to retire?

*Crowd is into it. Guess I am in the minority on not giving a damn about this match. Just waiting on the aces and eights run in.

*We all knew Storm wasn't a part of it

*unless TNA decides to swerve the swerve bby having him be a part of it.... (*ugh*)

Verbaltoxin/Lingualvenom: Smiths : Verbaltoxin/Lingu alvenom: BOOM! I was right.




anonymous brooke and her ass never disappoint.

Verbaltoxin/Lingu alvenom: Oh and your post wins our worthless belt of ponies, friendship and tolerance. Go you.

i love our worthless belts.




I keep hoping hobble will make us up some originals, but I guess she doesn't have time.


I haven't forgotten you. It is not so much time, although that has been a bit of a constraint for me as of late with prepping for school and vacation, it is a hopeless block. I get really enthused for like a day and I'm like YEAH ART and then by the next day I can't pull it out of me to save my ever lovin soul. Its a process, but I haven't forgotten you I promise. :-) Shiny happy loving and tolerant belts will be had.

MANIACS, IMPACT WAS A BIG SUCCESS, DUDES, AND THOUGH Y'ALL MISSED ME, I ASSURE YOU I WAS STILL DOIN' MY TRAINING, SAYIN' MY PRAYERS AND TAKIN' MY VITAMINS, BROTHER! THEY SAID IT WOULD TAKE TWO YEARS TO RECOVER FROM MY 57TH BACK SURGERY, AND I TOOK TWO DAYS, BROTHER. THAT'S HOW MUCH HULKAMANIA HAS FUELED, DUDES, FROM DAY ONE, AND THERE ISN'T A FORCE ON THIS EARTH STRONG ENOUGH TO KILL HULKAMANIA, BROTHER. MAYBE GRAVITY, BUT I SAW GRAVITY WORK AGAINST DINO BRAVO IN 77, AND IT DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT LOOK, DUDES. IT'S NOT A BIG FISH, BROTHER. ANYWAY DUDES, THIS THURSDAY, LIVE, BROTHER, IMPACT IS COMING BACK AND THE IMPACT MANIACS WILL BE PACKIN' THE RAFTERS, 'CAUSE MY BUDDY STINGER, THE YOUNG GUNS AND ME, BROTHER, WE'RE GONNA TAKE ON ACES AND EIGHTS, DUDE. IT'S OPEN FIGHT NIGHT, BROTHERS, AND WHATCHU GONNA DO, ACES N' EIGHTS, WHEN HULKAMANIA AND THE COMBINED FORCES OF TNA RUN WILD ON YOU?!
