i have actually been excited for TNA the last couple weeks, and the move to "live" will only help. Austin Aries is the best thing right now, and i am in love with the guys talent..all around solid. bully ray is legit..i get annoyed about the calfzilla thing, but ehh, what can you do. devon isnt to shabby with that tv title. i love their behind the scenes thing, like the whole segments where hogan was deciding who to fight roode for the belt. it felt, real..TNA is finally heading in the right direction..but i do agree with whoever said the thing about garrett bischoff..i fast forward through anything with him in it.

TNA has been very watchable since Hogan joined. The show has always made the TNA WHC its most sought after prize but have taken it to a whole new lvl with Roodes as the champ for about a year now.
Austin Aries have reigned as the X Division Champ and it has become exciting to see who will take the belts from both of them. i hope it isn't Sting. love Sting but its time to let the young guys take over.

I hope it isn't Sting too, but I don't see who else it could realistically be at this point.

RVD is kinda boring, and Hardy is too Hardy for me. I wouldn't mind Angle, though.

Yeah that was a great segment!! I really liked it as it felt unscripted and them basically just shooting each other the whole time.

I asked this in another thread but what's the deal with Gunner? He comes off as a lower card guy who they wanted to push as the next big thing for a long time now. I'm no TNA connoisseur but when they broke him and Murphy up, I was like "Well... he's better than Murphy. And he's got a little bit of an intimidating look factor. Did they really think 'This guy is so good, he could use a singles run?' I don't get it."

I think Gunner was their inial build but it ended up being Roode (just a guess) But if not Sting i think they're gonna allow Cowboy James Storm because i saw from the beginning that the intent was to give both of them title reigns I think they're making sure that all of it's young talent capture the title like a thank you. Thats y I don't think Sting is gonna win. I see Storm losing it to gunner and maybe gunner to crimson and crimson losing it and his streak to matt morgan who have been waiting for a very long time. Hey we all have dreams don't we.

I love that the TV Championship is defended every week.

There's no reason why WWE can't have its own Television title and have it defended every week on Superstars and occasionally on Pay-Per-View/RAW. Sell the idea that the TV Champion gets a bonus each week for retaining, and if his reign exceeds six months, he's guaranteed a WWE Championship Match. What better way could you establish somebody?

nope I'd hate it because the reason the IC and US title isn't getting the respect they deserve is because there are too many damn titles. But I do like the idea that a bonus to the holder. I always says that IC champ should be gearing up to fight the WHC and US gearing to fight the WWE champ sort of like a number one contenders belt and who ever have them at the time of SummerSlams, Survivor Series and Wrestlemania gets a title shot

No, the reason the Intercontinental and United States titles aren't getting the respect they deserve is because they're barely defended.

I can't agree because the WWE and WHC is defended on average the same amount of times as the IC and US when u consider that the WWE and WHC is mainly defended on PPVs. and the IC and US is defended at least once a month on live television.

Rubbish. The WWE title was defended five times last month: Jericho vs. Punk at WrestleMania, Punk vs. Henry on RAW 3x, and Jericho vs. Punk at Extreme Rules.

It's ridiculous how many times Christian could've defended the Intercontinental title since Over The Limit: against Jinder Mahal last week on RAW, Hunico last week on SmackDown, and The Miz on RAW this week. I'll never get why they don't just put a title on the line in a non-title match if the champion is going to win anyway.

It makes it seem like guys have to actually earn title shots. Plus, they need to switch it up a little from the obvious "Non-title match = challengers win" formula that has become really lame.

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.

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.

Things have been looking up since Russo and Bischoff disappeared. Let that be a lesson to the next retards to use them.

TNA already used Russo twice. Bischoff isn't really gone either.

I Just wish either that sting was gone a little longer or that he came back some other way. Since his departure I've been expecting him to come back against Roode ever since Hogan said He'd call him if he needed him. I like wrestling better when I'm wrong.

This would be a very very very bad idea. Hotshotting your title to young guys who aren't over enough yet to hold it is never a good thing.

not saying they should do it. I'm saying they're doing it. I predict that within a yr or 2 more. Every single TNA wrestler that was there be4 Hogan came will capture the title at least once. If not the world then the X division especially considering that there is no IC title. This includes Tag teams seperating long enough for them to capture it.

James Storm is probably the guy they will give the World Heavyweight Title to next. Storm, to me, gives awesome performances at times, but just doesn't really seem to be that consistent high-level player to me. I think him beating Roode would at least close that chapter of the story, however. I think then we'll move on to Storm facing the winner of the Bound For Glory Series (providing that they want to bring it back). This year, I see either Austin Aries or Magnus getting the win, unless something big happens between now and then (like Samoa Joe begins to matter again).

Storm vs. Aries and Storm vs. Magnus may not seem like major matches right now, but I think that's the best foot TNA can put forward for their October PPV.

I figure the TV title is like the IC title while the X Division title is like the Cruiserweight title.

Either way though, giving the title to most of those guys would not be good for business.

Well, apparently he was escorted from this week's show because of some sort of incident. I'm not one to always scream "this is a work!" but I guess TNA have been trying to use social media and all that a lot recently. Maybe this is just something to make Joe look "unpredictable" and "edgy?" I read that he Tweeted during Impact -- I'm not sure if it was mentioned on the show, however -- because if it was then this would certainly be worked.

Apparently there were plans to go forward with Austin Aries vs. Samoa Joe at Slammiversary. Have Aries beat Joe and then move on to Kurt Angle for Destination X, with Joe vs. Styles vs. Daniels also on that card. Bobby Roode can be watching the Destination X PPV or something, and claim that no matter what Aries thinks, it is Bobby Roode who is the main event in TNA, only for James Storm to return there and attack Roode and beat him all over the arena as a segment before Aries beats Angle.

It builds Roode vs. Storm and could potentially build Aries vs. Styles for their August PPV.

If they're smart they'll focus on building the X division.
Bringing Aries out of it will cripple it. Zima just doesn't have enough and every1 else has faded to black.
Samoan Joe should of never become a tag team. Its just so disrespectful to a guy with his ability to be so far in the background. He is legitimately the best big in Professional wrestling.
Storm will undoubtly get the title next. I just think he needs to improve his move-set because it consist primarily of that superkick. His character is a great work but his move-set needs to improve. Jeff Hardy despite his fan loving character needs to be pushed back into obscurity. He is the modern day jake the snake roberts. "Unpredictable" as Hogan said is correct. I mean i know some people struggle with habits but the way he showed up to fight sting was totally unacceptable. It was a disgrace to wrestling someone could of gotten seriously hurt. I'm not saying blackball him from the sport but he needs more time enstead of a push.
And no the TV isn't like the IC title. They just need to get one.

Currently TNA consist of maineventers (TNA champion contenders everyone from Roode, Sting, Storm, BULLY RAY(whose been doing a great job), Gunner and a long list further. TV title worthy (Every1 whose not in the title hunt except for Morgan and Crimson). And Tag team. The X division is built up to be whole seperate wrestling as it rightfully should be. Aries is making a transition maybe to merge them which will basically phase out the X division title. Lets be real despite the excellent wrestlers they have the X division have been getting pushed back ever since its last ppv.(havent watched thursday yet about after some responses). To many people after that TNA championship and many of them can't fight for the X division they need a new belt. as far as the TV title goes its held by brother Devon... need i say more?

Devon is over and is doing a serviceable job as the TV Champion. He might not be setting the world alight, but it's a nice "thank you" run for a guy that will likely remain on with the company as an agent long past his retirement from in-ring competition.

TNA really does need to stock up on X-Division wrestlers, to be honest. They should really be on the lookout for guys with personality that can help them out, too. What is Petey Williams doing these days? Some fresh faces for the division would be pretty excellent. And I do wish that TNA would return the division to its "not weight limits; no limits" roots. Aries vs. Angle for the X-Division Title would be fantastic. I also think that Rob Van Dam and Jeff Hardy should be involved in the division, and have been saying that for years.

No... they need to build the TV title up to be a "brink of the main event" title like the IC Title is meant to be.

exactly my point u don't know what they're doing with the X Division. This shouldn't be the case with what brought u success. I admit that hogan has made the World title look interesting and He's done a good job even on the T.V. and some small success with the Knockouts but the tag and X division is dieing. I am in 100% agreement that (a Sober) Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam would look great in the X Division. The last X Division title match was between Aries and Sabin. Though Sabin is entertaining, when u need to seperate a tag team to give the Champ someone fresh to fight that not only weakens the tag division but it means that ur not recruiting correctly. TNA was built on the X Division.
