Impact is Terrible
Now, I should point out that I live in Scotland and I think the show we get over here is about two weeks behind you guys in the States, but I sat down and watched about half an hour of TNA on Tuesday night. I then went out and got drunk but I like to think that was more cause of it being my mates 25th birthday and not to do with the horrible TV I had just witnessed.

For a guy who claims that keeping a viewer interested is the key to good TV, Russo sure is coming out with shit that makes his old shit look not so shitty. I must have watched 30 minutes and I think I saw 4 minutes of wrestling. And two of those minutes involved this God awful Angelina Love/Velvet Sky/Wynter angle (I really hope whoever came up with this gets fired). As a side note, for two girls who were called the Beautiful People, Christ they look rough.

The other two minutes was a match between Sabin (a real talent) and the other guy in the Mexican America stable. As far as I'm concerned pre-match promos shouldn't last longer than the match.

The rest of the show was made up with terrible backstage segments (who care about Ken Anderson's truck and the line "I'm an asshole" is horrific). Why do the backstage interviews and segments look so bad in TNA?

To close though the point I turned off was when old man Sting and old man Hogan were rambling through an interview segment in the ring and then I find out that if I kept watching, I would be given the joy of watching Sting face Bubba Ray in the main event. With that kind of competition, Vince must be quaking in his boots.



The Best in the World!

I realise this is probably discussed regularly but I never realised just how bad things are now. Just that TNA marks are everywhere saying how great it is but compared to the WWE, it's just awful.

It's like they're trying to spend soooo much time developing characters, that they don't do... anything else.

Example: It's great that the whole point of Anderson's persona right now is that he's been screwed out of having a 1 on 1 rematch that is pretty much guaranteed in the mythos of wrestling ever since he lost the belt. We get that Sting is anti Bisch/Hogan since WCW/nWo. We get that Winter is supposed to be a female Raven of sorts, mind controlling a shemale she's obsess'd with for some reason by giving her "magical roofies" or somesuch shit, or that Karen Angle is becoming a monster heel at the expense of Kurt while Jarret is the pussy whipped husband, or that Morgan is the "next big thing"...

But, why should we give a fuck? The angles build to nowhere. We either get the same match 800 times with bullshit finishes, or they just inexplicably stop fighting and/or turn heel/face.

Depends who is in the pileup.

Seriously though (well, I was being serious, but I digress) the best thing you can do with TNA is fast forward through most of it, and watch the talent you know can deliver in the ring. Because, they DO have some real talent on he roster.

They just can't use it for shit.

You have to understand that when viewers aren't interested in what Russo puts on, he decides it's their fault, not his.

TNA literally gives me a headache when I watch it. I haven't had a sky subscription since the summer of 2004 (was a obsessive wrestling fan 1991-2004, even though wrestling lost it's glow for me after WrestleMania XV) and was pretty pleased at the prospect of having wrestling on freeview but bloody 'ell, what a shite sundae the show is. Even worse than WCW in it's dying days. The Winter/Love angle is absolute BOLLOCKS. That episode where Winter was screaming down the aisle at Love...I had to turn it over, it was that cringe-worthy. Mr Anderson and his little baseball cap can f-ck right off too.

Agree with this thread. Everything they are currently doing is completely counter to what Bischoff did in the past that made WCW good. They really do need to cut the crap with the promos and return to a wrestling show where the majority of the storytelling is done in and around the matches. Otherwise they are just another version of WWE.

I might point something out here that I've mentioned before; I wouldn't be surprised if Russo was eventually fired.....not saying it would happen anytime soon, but his style of booking is not what will work to get TNA a better wrestling show, and I think Bischoff knows this. When WCW finally had some clear direction, it was a few years before it took off, so it is no surprise to me that Impact is still dominated by the Russo booking and not doing much better.

From what I hear Bischoff has no real say (I doubt this for one) and Dixie Carter still calls the shots and everything I see of her (Christ she's dull), leads me to think that she is a massive Russo mark and clearly knows nothing about the business.

The thing about TNA is that, while it IS illogical and a clusterfuck, it sustains its ratings for the most part. Unless they're doing something stupid with their timeslot, like going against the pro wrestling juggernaut that is WWE, they sustain a 1.0+ rating and are usually in the top 50-100 programs every week.

Clearly, they're doing something right. If their ratings were plummeting (it's currently trending downward, but nothing too bad right now), yeah, they'd be in bad shape. But they do pretty consistent numbers.

I assume they want to expand, and realistically they haven't expanded since the jump to Spike, and that's really the only entirely wrong thing they're doing from a public numbers perspective. And I'm sure PPV is tanking, but I doubt that was never a strong point for them.

So really, no matter how much we dislike the product, somehow they're succeeding in a sense.

Virtues of a wrestling show? Does Raw have any virtues? Do any tv shows have virtues?

Tonight's show was a complete abortion of "creative" tv.

Bischoff and Russo should be ashamed for tonight's entire episode seriously. So the x division guys are non working punks now? God they just don't get that the x division put them on the map and is easily the best matches their company puts on.

I'm trying to get into it a little. I watched a lot of stuff from when Mr. Anderson debuted. That man could potentially be the best thing going in wrestling. He's just stellar as a character.

Raw is horrifically bland for the most part. TNA atleast has some substance to it's storylines and a mid-card scene. It's just not the phenomenon WWE is and I doubt it really ever can be. Smackdown has been the best wrestling show on a consistent basis for a while though. Way better than TNA.

+ rep points. And how do I do that? I wanna rep you for that. This is how I feel sometimes about TNA. TNA can be shit but oftentimes good depending on the segments every week.

I seldom watch Smackdown so I'm not sure about that show, but I'd definitely agree with the rest of this.

I swear TNA try to make stupid shows on purpose. Just to piss people off. They could book solid shows with the talent they have. I've not watched an episode of TNA in about a year, but Sting vs Bubba Ray... *Facepalm*

Does anyone else notice the Network Hogan keeps rambling about how THEY are taking advantage over TNA? Really does sound like Raw's unknown GM plotline.. But instead of a computer, the network uses phone calls and letting the wrestlers announce it on air.. Cool storyline... At least, I don't have to hear another FUCKING STUPID, "I'VE JUST RECEIVED AN E-MAIL ON MY LAPTOP AND I QUOTE" SHUT THE FUCK UP, COLE!!!!

I would like that if I thought it was going to go anywhere but I can almost guarantee this will end up like when the nWo buried the Horsemen.

ONE GOOD THING I WILL SAY ABOUT IMPACT,




Ms. Tessmacher is fucking hot, hot entrance, and she was 100x better in the ring than I thought she would be.
