TNA Match of the Night (3-26-09)

[screech]

Juan discriminates against it, so I'm going to take over Match of the Week for TNA. Since there's only one show, I'll call it match of the night rather than match of the week.

Here goes nothing.

Not many to choose from, but that's how TNA rolls. Rep will be given to those who explain their choices.

Do it up.

Was really into the Suicide match for some reason. Solid match from two good wrestlers.

[CSL]

lol I'm gonna watch that ME just to see how much of a clusterfuck it is

[screech]

I liked that one, too. Shame it only got five minutes though.

[DaveBrawl]

I was kind of surprised at the small amount of offense Suicide got in given the buildup around him.

It was quite ridiculous. It did get 33 minutes of TV time, though. And that's more for one match than the last month's worth of shows had altogether.

That's TNA for you. I love how they handed out Suicide shirts to make it look like he has fans.

[DaveBrawl]

Yeah it was wierd to say the least to look up and see the whole arena with the same shirt on especially since the guy has had all of 3 or 4 matches.

[Juan]

I voted for the clusterfuck because that's the only part of the show I caught

[screech]

I went with the Gauntlet. I wanted to go for the X-Division Title Match, but it wasn't as good as it could have been.

Could this maybe get a sticky like the WWE one does?

[screech]

He had one match and that was Ultimate X. No one is going to believe he has that many fans and has sold that many shirts.

[Ruien]

Main event with ease. Was a pretty solid match, suprised they ran with it on a regular day.

[The Gold Standard]

Suicide match. Two very good wrestlers just not getting much time because of the Main Eventers taking all the time.

[Executioner]

x-divison match for sure...its the only reason, besides the Beautiful People, i watch TNA....even if they dont wanna push the X-division like they used to

[screech]

I love the X-Division stuff. More often than not, they're the best matches on the card. But they never get enough time and, as I said before, don't always end up as good as they could.

Looking at the ratings the past few months, I can see why these matches are short. They tend to [somehow] lose the most viewers every show. This doesn't make any sense to me. What makes even less sense is that the Knockout segments gain all of those viewers back and then some. It's very perplexing.

But the main event was actually good this week. Still, they could have shortened some segments and given it more than four minutes. The Gauntlet got 33 minutes, while the Knockouts match got three. Both of those matches could have gone at least four more minutes.

TNA needs to start pushing the X-Division back to the forefront. It's a main reason people started watching in the first place. Now these great wrestlers are being wasted in four minute clusterfucks. The Frontline/MEM angle should end with the guys from the X-Division (basically the Frontline minus a few) taking back TNA. That clearly won't happen, and that's why TNA will be stuck with 1.3 ratings until its eventual collapse.
