I'm watching TNA again...
I liked the first showing enough...
And they really have a good setup right now. Except for the Main event, it was a solid production with enough hooks for later. Anyone got the ratings yet? This was really a solid show. “There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.”--John Rogers |

I like the main event. Two people new viewers have heard of. Even if they are washed up. This show they cut down on the spotfests and had some matches that were just spot-heavy, which is a comfortable middle ground I think. All in all I give one out of two e-thumbs:

I don't know if Kip James counts as a name to new viewers necessarily. I mean, not to detract from his brilliant work in the past, but he's known as Kip James, and they sold him as crap earlier when Konnan was ranting about him. Not a good Pedigree.

However, when I don't give a shit if the other guy wins, it's a little less painful watching JJ.

Not to add unnecessary negativity, but the announce team is terrible.

As far as the people not knowing who Kip is, out of the rest of the roster he is their best bet.

I missed the first 15 minutes of the show. I saw the Christian promo, and James Storm drinking a beer. I was kinda bored with the Styles-Sabin match, but I liked the innovative ending to it. Abyss-Hardy match was good but I think the whole, "Abyss is afraid of barbed wire" is retarded. Saw Killings almost spin himself out of the ring with his flying punch or something. And Billy Gunn made Jeff Jarrett look small, physically. Typical clusterfuck ending.
I am interested in the Raven House Of Fun Match, so I'll probably try and tune in for that. |

Maybe they would reconize him if he'd just stop with the fifty revolutions he does anytime he touches another opponent.

It's weird you made this thread because I was about to make one on Sunday. I really liked Saturday Night's show except for the JJ match like you said. It was solid and featured both entertainment/talking segments and wrestling.

Yes, Raven was a huge name. He was well known in both promotions and had a large fanboy cult following.
No, they won't recognise him, any more than Marty Jannetty or "The other guy from WWAM!" |

I'll compromise and say he was a big name, but thats as far as I can take it.

TNA would be much better if it's roster wasn't packed with a load of WWE rejects, they're all incredibly talented and all, but it's kinda like WWE throwing junk in the trash, and TNA going through WWE's trash and taking it home.
Oh and lets not forget: JEFF JARRET SUCKS! |

To clarify...a black hole doesn't suck. It consumes everything it takes it. Jeff Jarrett does the exact same thing and it's only a matter of time before TNA is consumed by this walking black hole. |

Yes, Sadistic, I sure pulled the wool over your eyes.
(Nice to know you're selectively reading through posts though. Ironic that you left out the one where I said that all TNA needed to succeed was the drive to do so and some effort, but... |

Destor people are more likely to remember or recognise Raven for his look.
Gunn (Kipp) is very vanilla and he is just another reasonably cut guy who I didnt even recognise on his TNA debut. Raven however while possibly not being as popular as the NAO has a look that is uniquely Raven and makes him easily recognisable to fans even years later. My mother and my cousins who are halfway between mark and smark watched some TNA with me while ago and they knew who Raven was (isnt he the guy who fought DDP and Benoit in WCW and had those freaks follow him?) but had no idea who Gunn was eventhough they watched more WWF than WCW during the DX and nWo days. Branding means a lot in this business and Raven has that recognition through his look that can be considered branding. |

TNA's rating was a .8 again. Went up, so that should be a relief for TNA. Also, no surprise either...because it was a solid show that had great entertainment in there as well.
