Impact Spoilers for next Thursday, so don't read below if you actually care.
----------------
(1) Roxxi d. Jackie Moore with Traci as the guest referee.
(2) Sonjay Dutt d. Curry Man. After the match Val came down to the ring crying about losing her wedding ring and Dutt hugs her. The other two members of the Prince Justice Brother Hood Shark Boy and Super Eric come down and show Val that the ring is in Dutt's tights. Sonjay acts like he has no idea how it got there. Val slaps him and leaves.
(3) Jay Lethal & Creed (They dropped the first part of his name for some reason) d. The Motorcity Machine Guns. After the match Shelley shoved Sabin and walked off.
(4) Christian, Rhino and LAX d. Beer Money & Team 3D.
(5) Awesome Kong d. Salinas.
(6) Samoa Joe, BG James, AJ Styles & Matt Morgan d. Tomko, Kurt Angle, Kip James and Booker T in a weapons match. Joe pinned Tomko.
- The lights go out and Sting is shown in the rafters.

It didn't used to be this way, but for some reason it is now. Just 1 loss doesn't mean they're getting buried though.

Well they have been together for a good while. And wh know, maybe Shelly and/or Sabin want the split. You don't know, kinda unfair to blame the comapany.

TNA doesn't care about anyone that isn't an Angle or a Jarrett.
Seems that everything in this era has to happen NOW. Tag team splits, especially a popular one's, can mean money, but not if you do it after, what, a year's worth of being in the company?

And any other WWE wash up.

As long as Beer Money hasn't broken up, I'm happy with the tag team scene in TNA.

This does seem like a stupid idea, but on the other hand, the tag team scene in TNA is probably booked for the next few months, what with Beer Money going after the titles. Perhaps the idea is to let Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley work in the X-Division, and get it up to scratch. I mean, when Creed seems like your #1 Contender, you are in a bit of a spot.

I miss the old days where there were legit tag teams that were together for years and years. Nowadays teams have an average lifespan of 1.5 years, and then it's a who's-the-better-of-the-two kinda thing.

To be fair though, a Tag Team generally get paid the same amount as a singles wrestler would, so I don't think that many people would want to be in a tag team for years on end.

That's a good thing.
TNA needs a legit upper mid-card title. With the exception of Joe and Kurt Angle, the X-Title has always been more or less for the lightweights, and that's how it's being billed.
They should bring in another belt to be a sort of IC/US belt for TNA. Right now the X-Title isn't exactly the second step to the World Title in the company.
My reason for saying this is that MCMG splitting up might not be a bad thing. Both of them, especially Shelley, are great workers and I want to see what they can do as singles.

I agree with the new title idea. If you're not in the title picture or on a tag team, you're most likely jobbing in TNA or in some stupid program. Having another title for those guys to chase would certainly help because the X-Title won't be a second step to the Word Title (and it shouldn't).

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, how to say this. Having matches/fueds without a title is not a bad thing. Stop with the titles already.

I didn't say it was bad, I just said it would give people who shouldn't be jobbing something more to do. Besides, it would get guys like Creed away from the main event, which would be a very good thing.

TNA is on a quest to be as terrible as possible.
Next up: Fans Bring the Script Night
Seriously, I could see them doing that. Same thing as fans bring the weapons except they have the fans write promos for wrestlers and every promo read is by a completely random fan.

I'm waiting for the next idiotic gimmick match, the match to surpass all other idiotic gimmick matches. I'm sure Russo is cooking something up that's gonna suck.
