So, I didn't watch Impact, usually miss it now that they moved it from Monday. (Still think it's funny that they forfeited the Monday Night Wars)

From TNA's website:
Missed Thursday's huge TNA Wrestling "iMPACT!" broadcast on SpikeTV? Don't worry, TNAwrestling.com has you covered with footage, photos and comments from the broadcast as TNA continues the countdown to the July 11 "Victory Road" Pay-Per-View event from Orlando, Florida!

Thursday's broadcast featured Ink Inc vs. Motor City Machineguns, AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe, Desmond Wolfe vs. Kendrick, Matt Morgan vs. Jay Lethal, Abyss vs. Jeff Hardy and more!

Thoughts: Who is Ink Inc? Doesn't sound like a bad card except for Matt Morgan VS. Jay and Jeff VS. Abyss...wait, that's 2/5 matches. Hey, maybe they were good?

They blend into the crowd a little too well.

If Abyss hit someone with that, I'm pretty sure TNA'd be off the air.

More from TNA's website:
Hulk Hogan: “Sting had to go brother. Dixie Carter made the right call by suspending him. The Stinger and I go back a long way, but he’s got to get his mind right. As far as Abyss goes, something has got to be done about his big mug too. You can’t just go around, tearing people apart for no reason week after week, dude. We’ll find a way to handle him.”

A.J. Styles: “I don’t care about dropping in the rankings right now. All I care about is wiping that smug look off of Kazarian’s face next week. I said I can beat him and I’ll show you I can beat him.”

Douglas Williams: “Kendrick knows one bloody submission and all of a sudden everybody wants to ask me if I’m nervous. No. I’m not nervous. I’m the X-Division champion; I don’t lose to these high-flying acrobats who want to try my game. I’ve been submission grappling for ten years now and I’m going to continue submission grappling straight through Victory Road.”

Madison Rayne: “I knew what Angelina was going to try to do! I have known she was going to try to do it for two weeks now! I’m not scared of her and I never will be! She’s going to regret that she ever put those ugly arms around this precious face!”

Taz: “I wish everybody would get out of my freakin’ face about this Tommy Dreamer crap. Yes, I knew those guys in the past, but I haven’t talked to them in years. I didn’t know last week, I don’t know this week, and I won’t know next week. So quit freakin’ askin’ me about it.”

Does this excite anyone?

i did that in the 100k thread when I ranked the wrestling programs for this week and even highlighted the best matches of the week.


Impact actually came in at number 1 on my list of wrestling for this past week. Crazy I know that is actually a first.



I really enjoyed AJ vs Samoa Joe, Kendrick vs Wolfe & even Abyss vs Hardy wasn't too awful granted the ending was a bit anti-climactic it was still better than anything RAW had to offer this week.

I'm going to come out and say it... I've been secretly enjoying TNA for the past few weeks. Magic Hogan ring that gives you power? No fuck that, Abyss shoved that shit right back down Hogan's throat. Kurt Angle going through the top 10 contenders to get to the belt? Great idea. This lets the crowd see a good variety of matches. A totally non x-division person with the championship? What a great way to use a heel. The promo a few weeks ago with Lethal and Flair was awesome. They also don't have the TNA heavy weight champion fighting every week. This makes the PPV mean something. I don't like the angle they are running with Hogan, Carter, and Bischoff though. There are a few things here and there I don't like also, but overall I like the stories for everyone in the company and that everyone on air is somehow involved.

1. The Magic Ring is totally bullshit but was glad to see Abyss use it on Hogans gullet.
2.Angle's Run At The Top 10 - Loving this storyline. Loving the fact that Angle is going out there and being a man and shaking hands with his opponents. There is nothing wrong with a good 1 on 1 grudge match without having a massive feud or title on the line. Makes for a better mid-card.
3. Flair & Lethal - I am secretly looking forward to their match at Victory Road. Not thrilled to see Flair as much as I am totally digging this feud. Lethal has been gold since dropping the Macho gimmick.
4. Douglas Williams as X Champ - I too enjoy the way they are handling this and even more so I am enjoying Brian Kendricks chase at the title. It is a fresh look at my favorite division in wrestling.
5. Sting/Carter/Hogan - I am with you on this one as well. It is the only real throwaway angle going.
