Since the move to Destination America, I've enjoyed the changes to the show and still watch every week. Since it's now on a smaller network, does anyone else here watch Impact?

I saw the Angle/Lashley match, that was fanfuckingtastic.

Watch every week. ECIII is one of my favorite character in all of wrestling right now.

Stopped watching years ago.

Might consider getting some of the compilation dvds. I have an AJ one and a Daniels one and they're pretty good.

I don't, but I'd really like to. I don't have the channel, though.

Been considering checking it out again but, no, I don't currently watch it. Kinda figured it was a sinking ship and I really didn't want to watch them crash and burn like that. If they're putting on good shows now though I may very well check it out.

I've gone from a regular viewer to catching the show now and again. Think the hiatus interrupted my viewing habits.

After watching Raw, NXT, sometimes catching Lucha Undergrond, and listening to a bunch of wrestling podcasts I sometimes feel a little saturated with product, and TNA gets cut.

Saw it the other week and MVP looked fat and old.

They were beating up Drew McIntyre and Kenny King did a running knee that missed by a mile.

Put Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares on instead.

I don't. I've heard good things. Not enough to invest myself. I've given them chances and they lost me. They don't really have an identity because they chased away the guys that built the house. They added Russo right when they got Angle. Hogan coming in made a splash, but also renovated the promotion in a way that left it without any of the hooks that made it unique intact. I'm also sad that Kurt Angle is still there, because his music could blare at a WWE show, and he would instantly become more relevant than he has been for the past eight years. Fuck, it's been that long...

They're trying to hit a reset button, but they shouldn't have gotten to this place at all. Silly TNA.

I don't think there is a wrestling fan that does not get sad when they think about how long Kurt Angle has been in TNA and not WWE.

Nah, I've been burned to many times by TNA and their fans telling me they have turned a corner, only for them to completely screw it up within 6 months. The X Division, The Knockouts, Hogan coming in, The Main Event Mafia, Aces and Eights, etc.

I have no faith that they can consistently put out a watchable product.

They don't get the "they used to be great" Trapeze netting that WWE does.

Gail Kim should wrestle topless. Want to touch her firm, toned, busty, athletic Korean body.

The knockouts are one of the best parts of the show every week.

Still watch TNA on occasion but haven't seen a whole episode since the network switch.

I watch it now and then. They've got some good stuff now and then, but they also have a lot of stupid shit going on that puts me off.

Put off even more since Mark Andrews won British Boot Camp. Mainly coz I know/knew him personally and am jealous of him.

This is very true. TNA has no widespread consumer loyalty because they never created that emotional connection with people. And the stuff that did work often comes with a tainted view of missed opportunities or "what could have been."

The knockouts are one of the best parts of the show every week.

And then Hogan came in and gave Bubba the Love Sponge priority over Awesome Kong, and it slowly turned into the Divas Division.

Honestly the knockouts have been awsome as of late. Last year when they were fighting fora tTV deal is when it was really good. Knockout ladder matches, last knockout standing, and cage matches. They really let them go at at it just like the men.

Jim Ross said that Spud vs Eric Young was really good too.

Which is what they were doing. It was like TNA went from Coke to New Coke back to something resembling Coke. I don't know if we need gimmick matches for them all the time, and I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of Taryn being champion whilst Kharma is around, but if it keeps up, I might give them another shot. Consistency is what TNA can do to bring me back.

I never really got into TNA to be perfectly honest. As an outsider looking in, it just seemed to me that TNA never really placed an emphasis on creating new stars. They just seemed more content on pushing old WWE rejects. Outside of Samoa Joe, AJ Styles, and Crimson, did TNA actually create anyone new and worthwhile? I don't think so. Again though - I rarely watched TNA and so I don't know. Just my gut feeling though.

JR is way too PC on his show. He's had Dixie get on his case for critiquing TNA.

Bobby Roode, James Strom, Gunner, Magnus, Eric Young, technically you can say Bram & EC3 (since neither really got a shot in WWE)

Just turned it on.... WTF is with these terrible "art" for the match graphics?

Also, WTF at Josh Matthews and Tazz being in "some room somewhere" instead of in the arena.

Yea that was the first time they had the cartoon match graphics I don't know what they were going for there.

Monty Brown's heel turn was one of the worst moves in professional wrestling history.

I actually enjoyed this weeks episode (for some reason Dish has Destination America right now). The matches were considerably longer than usual....

They really should try to get their episodes for Destination America ondemand. Seems pretty dumb that this hasn't happened already.
