oh shit... angle wins he gets 55 points making a 3 way fuck tie between Bully and RVD and Angle. almost like it fucking WAS PLANNED AND BOOKED LONG TERM Could you imagine WWE booking, running, and promoting an entire PPV 3 months out and still holding two PPVs in the interim? It's pretty genius that they pull this off every year and don't completely fuck it up. |

and it does kinda make me happy to read reports Hardy has been cleaner and in better "mental state" than he's been in a long time. I watched this guy on Shotgun Saturday Night with Matt every week in 1999. Even though I knew I was watching them lose I fucking loved it. When they debuted on RAW with Michael Hayes I was in heaven. then it just became "kill yourself for the business" and it went downhill. then house and dog burned down  So yeah... seeing a -- according to reports -- healthy and happy Jeff Hardy is great for me. FULL FUCK CIRCLE.. i'm drunk I think that Hardy's disastrous match against Sting was his personal rock bottom. He needed that to happen in order to see what he'd become, and that he needed to get his shit together. And just from watching him in the ring, you can tell that he's done just that. It's like watching Jeff Hardy circa 2002 again. Fast and flippy and great in the ring. |

Smiths: WWE would have fucked up BFG by week 3 and had wrestlers face eachother twice and not acknowledged it.
Not to mention at least two instances of point totals being skewed by +/-2 out of nowhere.

Kurt looks genuinely shocked to have lost this.
It adds that much more importance to the BFG Series, to see someone like Kurt so upset to be out of it.

a title shot. that''s right. this is all for a FUCKING TITLE SHOT It really is awesome how all this is just for a title shot but they promote and run it in a way where you think they're competing for a bucket of unicorn blood and Rainbows |

a title shot. that''s right. this is all for a FUCKING TITLE SHOT and i want to add all they've done with the title during the series is give to to AA which was set up before BFG. And they did a rematch for it. None of the "THE ROCK COMES IN AND IS #1 CONTENDER" and "GM SWITCHES WHO IS THE CONTENDER" shit. they stuck to the guns of "there is a tourney going on so no mother fucker gets to even challenge for the belt until that's done". I suppose that person would HAVE to win the title right?? I mean.... So there's no special King of the ring or a special belt or tiara or honey or boo boos? |

Nice ending, suspenseful. They are really doing the slow burn with this angle.. I dig it.. Sure beats the hell out of "HOLY SHIT THIS HAS GONE ON A WEEK? WE BETTER FINISH IT NAO!!"

The guy got on the apron, and THEN put his mask on?  Indeed, I'm unsure as well, good sir... /Yeah, I know it's got to be so they can show the tape and figure out who the guy is, but it's still stupid. |

The rundown
4 matches
11
.5
9
12
32.5 minutes total bell-to-bell
Total of 27% of the show dedicated to match time
If you add the 5 minutes of A&8 at the end of the show, that brings us to
37.5 minutes, or 31% of the show
In comparison, Raw was 22%, 23.6 if you counted the punk/lawler beatdown

Yeah, they showed his face. He didn't look familiar.
VerbalToxin might recognize him.
I don't keep up with the times like I did when I was a kid.
Whenever there was a new wrestler, I almost always knew who the guy was due to magazines and PWI.

Yep, no complaints.. Just a solid show and storylines advanced and made sense and more importantly were entertaining.

Creationist Ape: 4 matches
11
.5
9
12considering it was 4 matches... 3 were BFG and all were ~10 mins... and the other was a "Knockout" match that was really a "let's get characters back in"... i'm okay with this. cuz they did a shitload to introduce those BFG matches, and also had some REAL story shit that will not just end this week and be forgotten.... it was a useful show. Hell, Raw had 5 more matches than Impact and provided only 10 more minutes than Impact. |

Was playing Final Fantasy 13 last night. Still trying to try and actually play through to the end.
I am thinking at this point I may just DVR everything and stop watching it live except for PPVs.
Hopefully TNA this week helps change my mind. No more Claire, so maybe, just maybe, the superior show ya'll are talking about may show up for me. Then again, The Fat Guy Who Ate Tazz, Snow and Brother Love all show up I believe. So we'll see.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Goodbye Claire
*Nice opening promo by Aries...almost ruined by Hogan and Sting
*Oh thank God Hogan is back every week. *rolls eyes*
*"We always say exactly what we are going to do and we do it... so we'll see you sometime tonight". Yeah, real exact there buddy.
*Oh thank you Jesus, EY should be back tonight. FINALLY.
*Hemme's dress looks like an oversized shirt
*Crowd is hot for RVD and Storm. Solid match till the botched end. Unless a kick to the chest is supposed to be a finisher now. I like what they TRIED to do. They wouldn't even show the replay at the "live" angle again though.
*Madison Rayne has that "Cinemax After Dark" look. Me likey.
*ODB. I would hit that. Feel guilty. Take a long shower. Cry. Then hit it again.
*The Great MUTA ODB
*SAVE_US_EY. Looking good in that suit, lol.
*Followed up by a reminder of Claire. Great.
*Gut Ch....*clicks ahead on youtube*
*World Tag Team Champions of the World. Now that was a funny heel promo.
*AJ and Joe was meaty. Just big and BEEFY. Nice long match. BFG series at it's best. PPV quality. Hell, Joe had him down for a 4 count. Not a big fan of either guy really and I still thought it was awesome.
*Recap
*Gut Check. I will actually look to see if they purposley infuse someone saying yes to the guy who was god awful. Fat Guy WHo Ate Tazz says no... Hey. Well color me shocked, they said no right away and didn;t extend the drama. Good on them.
*So Angle laid down for Hardy. It takes 3 finishers to put him down of course, yet he lays down. Nice. Match was solid, not as good as Joe/AJ.
*Aries trying to not be a stale face....oh Hi Hulk.
*"I want the ugly one. You decide which one that is" lol
*And then Hogan steps all over it.
*And there's our donnybrook. I like it.
Better then Raw.
AJ/Samoa and EY/ODB definetly highlights.
Still overall "meh".

but better than Raw and Live you really didn't feel like you were wasting an evening watching it. Didn't check my watch until 9:10PM and that was just to go "how much time can they give Angle/Hardy"
We love stumpy, watch live with us, ya condescending prick. I try too. I just forgot about it. Like I have forgotten EVERY WEEK since #1000 that Raw is 3 hours long. I still forget to tune in till 8PM Central. Even that is meh. Again, It may be youtube/DVR for a while. I'd rather play a sub-par FF game then watch wrestling on TV right now. /"better then Raw" is faint praise //seriously, as long as ya'll are happy, more power to you
