From PWInsider.

[Xero]

If at least one of the Joe/Angle matches aren't on this show it's mistake #2 (after not giving all-new content).

[The One]

Way to not give the fans something new. Fuckin TNA...

[Destor]

Fuck TNA.

[Arnold HamNegger]

So, you've got one shining moment....and you go with two Jeff Jarrett matches?

**sigh**

Fuck you TNA.

[ron the dial]

This is possibly the worst decision that TNA has ever made.

[The One]

It's going to fail. I don't see Nash's name anywhere. Sinking ship.

[addy2hotty]

This serious? A highlights show? No PCS marathon?

Fucking hell.

[St. Jimmy]

LOL. Someone really phoned this in.

[KingofOldSchool]

Exactly what I was talking about the other day.

You have the 9-11 Monday night timeslot all to yourself and it's just a clip show. And it's the day after a PPV of all things!

[St. Jimmy]

Dixie Carter: Hey Jeff, how're ya?
Jeff Jarrett: Dixie! How are ya' girl?
Dixie Carter: You ready to go for monday?
Jeff Jarrett: Monday, what monday?
Dixie Carter: This monday, Raw is pushed back this week and we're gonna do a live IMPACT!
Jeff Jarrett: Really? That's a good break. This could make us, baby!
Dixie Carter: Yeah, That Dog show was luc-
Jeff Jarrett: Dog Show?
Dixie Carter: Yeah, Westminister?
Jeff Jarrett: SHIT. ARE YOU CRAZY?!
Dixie Carter: What?
Jeff Jarrett: WE CAN'T COMPETE WITH THAT - RUN A CLIP SHOW.
Dixie Carter: A clip show?
Jeff Jarrett: Yeah. It's not like the fans will notice anyway.
Dixie Carter: What if they do?
Jeff Jarrett: Who cares, you hear them every week. Hell, they think Abyss is awesome.

[Kane Knight]

Well, that countdown will sure have the casuals thinking this is new programming and get hooked.

[Dorkchop]

Lame. Why not have a two hour Impact?

[The One]

Because that would require thought, which TNA managment is basically incapable of.

[Xero]

Because that would require logic, which TNA managment is basically incapable of.

[KingofOldSchool]

TNA is the Eugene of wrestling promotions.

[owenbrown]

Because that would require thought, which TNA managment is basically incapable of.

So, basically they are copying the WWE again. :shifty:

[Jeritron]

Kurt Angle samao joe should be on there

[Mercury Bullet]

TNA knows this is a good opportunity to take a step in the right direction....thats why they are holding it off for another time.....

:shifty:

[Mercury Bullet]

Okay, lets check out this lineup of matches. Isn't this supposed to be kind of a "Best Of" show to attract the casual fan to TNA's brand of wrestling?

*Samoa Joe vs. Kurt Angle (first-ever match, Genesis 2006)
-Underachieving, mediocre at best. Not a whole lot different that a big WWE matchup.

*NWA champion Christian Cage vs. Jeff Jarrett vs. Abyss vs. Sting vs. Ron Killings- King of the Mountain (Slammiversary 2006)
-At least it will showcase an "innovative" match type (that being the King of the Mountain match)....all in all still a mediocre contest.

*NWA Tag Team champions AJ Styles & Christopher Daniels vs. LAX- Six Sides of Steel (Bound for Glory 2006)
-No complaints here, this was actually a good match IMO.

*NWA champion Jeff Jarrett vs. Sting with Kurt Angle as the official Enforcer (Bound for Glory 2006)
-The only people that will find this match entertaining are big Sting fans, and big Sting fans already watch.

*Christian Cage vs. Rhino - 8 Mile Streetfight (Bound for Glory 2006)
-Could've been on Raw or Smackdown 5 or 6 years ago. Not particularly entertainingeither way.

[Kane Knight]

So the main complaint is it's too WWE-like?

God, that seems to be what they're aspiring to.

[Arnold HamNegger]

This line up needs more cowbell.

[Xero]

So more Samoa Joe matches?

[KingofOldSchool]

So more Samoa Joe matches?

He said more cowbells, not cows.

[Xero]

See, I was alluding to the fact that cows wear cow bells.

Or in Joe's case, many. As ear rings.

[Kane Knight]

And nipple rings.

[mrslackalack]

I remember when the debut of ECW on TNN was like this.

[Xero]

Wasn't that because Heyman didn't want to change the show (they had already taped it) and for spite just sent them a tape?

[The Naitch]

will TNA fans even watch this? Wouldn't some of them skip this since they've already seen these matches/have them recorded on tape/have them on DVD?

what a terrible idea

[Kane Knight]

TNA fans would watch elephants assfucking if someone was shouting "WWE Sucks" in the background.

[St. Jimmy]

TNA fans would watch elephants assfucking if someone was shouting "WWE Sucks" in the background.

THAT IS AWESOME.









































OOOOOO ABYSSSSSS.

[Pinnacle Charisma]

Because that would require thought, which wrestling companies are basically incapable of.
