[Mr. Nerfect]

I liked the idea of Hogan having Ray, Styles, Angle and Hardy pitch their reasons for deserving a title shot. I hated the music in the background, but I hate reality television as well, and that's filled with that sort of shit, and yet immensely successful.

I absolutely hate that Eric Young has got the TNA Knockout Tag Team Championship. I absolutely hate it. I know that wrestling is meant to be fun, but I just can't get into it. I would like to see TNA bring in a character that is a super-serious wrestler who takes his craft seriously, and have him play the antithesis to Eric Young. Douglas Williams would be pretty perfect for it, since he's already under contract, as well. And then I think they should retire the Knockout Tag Titles, at least until they get some female teams going.

Bobby Roode is a great heel champion, and should probably hold the title forever. I hope that he defeats Sting on the live Impact, but I have a terrible feeling in my gut that James Storm is going to cost Roode the title, leading to a Three-Way or Roode facing Storm and Sting defending the title against someone else at Slammiversary.

Gunner tries hard. He seems to have a lot of the tools, but I'm just not digging the direction of his character. I'm not sure if he needs a hot woman either side; if he needs to present himself as a prize-fighter; if he needs a manager to talk for him; if he needs a haircut; if he needs a last name, or just what it is. I'd like to see him respond to his loss to Rob Van Dam with a violent attack on RVD next week, leading to a proper hardcore feud between the two, where Gunner gets the clean rub and moves on.

I don't mind Devon as a singles champion in 2012. It seems like something he's worked hard for. I liked him calling out Garett Bischoff, and I liked how Garett played it like "Oh, I'm fucked." I think Garett should still be in OVW, but the logical progression is a feud between Devon & Garett and The Robbies. I think Devon should lose the TV Championship for that storyline, though. I was going to say give it to Crimson, but after seeing Bully Ray come out, I think it would make sense for Ray to take the TV Title off his former partner, and use it to try and prove to Hogan that he can be the singles champion in TNA.

I kind of think the Abyss character is done. Or that it should be for the time being. I think this storyline should reveal that Joseph Parks and Chris Parks are one in the same, and and Abyss is just that fucking crazy. If this just leads to Chris putting on the mask and facing Bully Ray again, I hope that Ray mops the floor with Abyss. But the work of these two have me quite interested in the storyline. I was quite ready for Bully Ray to say "What if I was guilty?! What would you do about it, lawyer boy?" and Joseph to reply with "I'm going to eat your face." I don't know why.

I like that they use Al Snow for Gut Check. I think that down the line, Gut Check could become its own show, with a bunch of unsigned talent facing established TNA wrestlers. I wouldn't have it go any more than an hour, but I think the concept could work. A TNA version of NXT, if you will.

Joey Ryan has got the look, and I enjoyed his showing. He's got a persona and he's got style. He'd be a really solid addition to the X-Division, I think. Austin Aries is probably the best thing in the world right now. After Slammiversary X and Destination X, I'd be very happy to see Austin Aries go after the TNA World Heavyweight Championship.

I love Kurt Angle's TNA entrance. I'd also love to see him and AJ Styles become a "dream team" and successfully capture the TNA World Tag Team Championship at Slammiversary, and continue working with Christopher Daniels and Kazarian moving forward. I think that the main event of Destination X should be Austin Aries defending the X-Division Title against Kurt Angle, with AJ Styles vs. Samoa Joe vs. Christopher Daniels also being offered on the card.

That was quite a main event, and Styles is absolutely brilliant. I haven't really watched him perform in quite a while, but the guy is a license to print money. Roode is a fantastic heel champion, and this match just worked. It continued the story of Styles vs. Daniels & Kazarian, which I think is good, because this rivalry deserves to end in some sort of decisive manner.

I was kind of thinking that the end to Impact didn't quite live up to what it meant -- Roode made history after all. Then Roode got on the mic and cut an awesome promo after just wrestling that awesome match he wrestled. There's something likable about Roode, despite him being such a good heel through and through. He's basically hated by the good guy authority figure because he just keeps one being a winner. I think it would actually be cool one week if Roode called out Hulk Hogan on Open Fight Night. Hogan says that he's got a bad back and all that -- he can't keep up with a World Champion -- but Roode uses Hogan's own concept to get him in the ring and destroy him. Imagine the heat that would build for Roode.
