One thing that I think TNA does better than the WWE right now, is episodic booking. Coming from this week's Impact, I can expect several things from next week's show:
* Sting will face Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship in a Lumberjack Match to open the show.
* I'll find out what the judges think of Joey Ryan.
* What consequences will Bully Ray face for hitting a civilian?
* Gail Kim & Madison Rayne beat the Knockout Tag Team Champions and are a Knockout tag team -- will they get a title shot?
* The TV Title will be defended.
Almost everything should lead somewhere, which is how you get people coming back to your show. I may not agree with everything TNA does, but they seem to be trying anything to grab people's attention, and then doing everything they can to keep it. Some things do still need to be ironed out, obviously -- for example, TNA absolutely suck at using PPV, which could be a massive money-maker for them -- but maybe in time they will get there, as long as they keep heading in one direction, and have a plan on how to get there.
