Note from the episode of Impact I watched for the first time in years.

[Hanso Amore]

Wow, Tenay and West really ruin the show.

They refer to attacks as "Gangland Style hits".....

I have to say, the mob must really jump people and hit them with Angle Slams more than I thought.

They take the Mafia part of the MEM too seriously. With the Godfather entrance music and Laying out "hits"

What a fucking joke!

Matt Morgan will be back in the WWE as soon as his contract is up. He has gotten so much better. I really like what he brings to the table.

Too many people wear T shirts while they wrestle in TNA!

Team 3D needs to die. Splitting them to singles is the worst idea I have ever seen. Bubba Ray looks like an idiot with a Mohawk and balding front.

Taylor Wilde is fucking HOT. Where did she come from?

AJ is such a fucking Yokel ass Hick.

Why is Abyss still in Psyche ward suits? How does he talk to Morgan? Why are they at all a team?

the FIrst 40 minutes of the show was a Promo, Match, run in, clusterfuck, Promo. And none of it was entertaining.

[Hanso Amore]

THe whole Palin thing is so ridiculously retarded, and for WHAT reason is it still going?

And what is Billy Gunn doing with the beautiful people?

[Ruien]

Meh, TNA is decent. They still have a lot of flaws, but its not as bad as it was 6 months ago.

[Afterlife]

I believe that's their slogan.

I caught the Beautiful People segment this morning (mainly to see Daffney) on the replay and changed the channel when they did the slop gimmick. It was bad enough they were trying to slam WWE for pushing the "Divas" when they, themselves (TNA), are doing the same, but the slop? Come on....

[screech]

I loved the opening segment. I thought the promo was great. Too bad the rest of the show wasn't up to par. The Beautiful People segment was awful, as are many of their segments.

And Don West sucks. Tenay isn't awful, he just shouldn't be the main guy.

[Dorkchop]

Don West is terrible. TNA needs to make West and Tenay's mics a little quieter. TNA sounds like shit and the fact that they're in HD now is pretty sad. You can't hear what's going on in the ring too well or even the shitty Impact Zone audience.

I laughed my ass off when Booker T and Steiner were arguing who got to compete in the main event and tried to settle it with eeny meeny miny moe.

[Kane Knight]

Too many people wear T shirts while they wrestle in TNA!

And yet, John Cena is disrespecting wrestling.

[Kane Knight]

THe whole Palin thing is so ridiculously retarded, and for WHAT reason is it still going?

Palin isn't going away, why should the shitty angle using "her" go away? ;)

yep, tell that to the camera guy who zoomed in on the chocolate chips in the "slop":rofl::shifty:

[RGWhat316]

Taylor Wilde is fucking HOT. Where did she come from?

Well, u can call her one of Vince's worst decisions. WWE had her in developmental and eventually fired her. She is definitely WWE's loss and TNA's gain. She's hot and can actually wrestle.

Tenay and West make a horrible team, but particularly because West is horrible. He has some good ideas fed to him, but I just do not know why or how I am meant to take him seriously as a knowledgeable authority on pro-wrestling. I guess it was kind of cute having a guy who seemed like a genuine fan of pro-wrestling do color commentary, but as TNA grows and expands, they need to get a little more professional.

Keep Mike Tenay as the play-by-play guy, as he is not bad. Mick Foley, Jim Cornette or pretty much anyone else who can talk under contract would be a better choice than Don West.

Matt Morgan will be back in the WWE as soon as his contract is up. He has gotten so much better. I really like what he brings to the table.

Matt Morgan was always pretty good, to be honest. The WWE just fucked around with him. He should have been much more successful over there than he was. I made a thread talking about the chain-reaction I can see leading to a lot of talent leaving TNA, and Matt Morgan is one that I forgot to mention that I probably should have.

While he was never a main event player in the WWE, I think Morgan would make a great apprentice enforcer for the Main Event Mafia. If Angle, Sting, Nash, Booker and Steiner are upset about people disrespecting them, shouldn't they take special favour to those who do respect them? Matt Morgan and Alex Shelley are two "understudies" I'd like to see work for the Main Event Mafia.

When I saw Sim Snuka wrestle on RAW, I thought of TNA, so I'd say that is a genuine concern.

Team 3D needs to die. Splitting them to singles is the worst idea I have ever seen. Bubba Ray looks like an idiot with a Mohawk and balding front.

I am not a big Team 3D fan, but I think they are very charismatic (unfortunately), and although they get stale in any role fast, I am sort of intrigued by what TNA is trying to do with them. It's probably to convince them not to jump to the WWE when their contracts are up, though.

The idea of either holding a World Title is ridiculous, but I appreciate that TNA is trying to make them stand out a little more as individual personalities than they have in the past.

Taylor Wilde is fucking HOT. Where did she come from?

She is indeed very hot. She's talented to. She was under developmental contract to the WWE once upon a time, and when the WWE released her because they "had nothing for her," I thought it was one of the stupidest releases they have ever made. I also put Gail Kim's WWE release in that category.

Cutting hot and talented women for semi-hot bikini contest rejects is pretty fucking stupid. Much like Gail Kim, though, I can see her ending up in the WWE again before long when the WWE realises how stupid they were.

AJ is such a fucking Yokel ass Hick.

He is, but he's gotten a lot better with promos, and I've been enjoying him. If only TNA could push him consistently. By that I don't just mean keeping him at the top of the card, I mean refraining from making him look like a clown.

Why is Abyss still in Psyche ward suits? How does he talk to Morgan? Why are they at all a team?

I hate the psyche-ward suit on Abyss. It was cute at first, but now it's time to lose it. I think Russo likes it because it's an inside joke ("It's got his real name on it!"). It's time for a new look for Abyss. The reason he is teaming with Morgan, by the way, is because TNA had nothing special for either man to do (although Abyss should be a heavy player in the Frontline), and they decided to put two and two together, and then split them up and have them feud.

That's what I assume, anyway.

the FIrst 40 minutes of the show was a Promo, Match, run in, clusterfuck, Promo. And none of it was entertaining.

That is a big thing TNA needs to deal with.

[BigDaddyCool]

I saw bits and piece of it. TNA is still for the most part awful. Now that is a big step up from a year a go when they were even awfuller, but they are in no way decent.

[Dorkchop]

Do know what else I hate about Tenay and West? They explain every single thing like we're stupid. Like why so and so is doing such and such. When every thing possible is being explained it takes a lot of the story away from the match.

They know their audience.

[RGWhat316]

And for a company called Total Nonstop Action, there was only one match in the entire first hour of the show!

[Hanso Amore]

Hey Noid, Whats the Abyss inside joke? Something about a name on his oufit?

I love wrestling so much, it just hurts that the guys in charge make it such a wreck.

[BigDaddyCool]

It is called Total Nonstop Action, not Total Nonstop Wrestling. So as long as something is happening, i.e. an action is taking place, be it talking, a skit, some sort of poop being poured on 2 bimbos, whatever, then action is taking place. They were every crafty when they named the company.

[Hanso Amore]

TOTAL NONSTOP CLUSTERFUCK!

[BigDaddyCool]

I love how Tenay and West are constantly described at the worst problem of TNA and TNA has yet to address it.

Dixie Carter's probably at a meeting right now, saying "Shows what you know. Most of the announcing is really done by Steven Weinstein."

I don't think they operate on the same level of consciousness we do.

[BigDaddyCool]

If at all.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Basically Abyss' attire has his real surname "Parks" printed on the back. Russo loves the whole "worked shoot" thing, so I can just imagine him wanting to keep the name "Parks" on Abyss somewhere. It's nothing funny.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Exactly it. I'm still, in relative terms, (in other words, I couldn't truly give a fuck) pissed off that Dixie Carter said that about the "Fire Russo!" chants.
