Official TNA IMPACT! Thread (11/16/2006): 9 PM, 2 Hour Premier, Angles In-Ring Debut.
![]() November 9th, 2006 21:15 PREVIEW FOR THURSDAY’S HISTORIC TWO-HOUR PRIMETIME DEBUT OF “iMPACT!” ON SPIKE TV Featuring the TNA in-ring debut of Kurt Angle against “The Monster” Abyss Thursday night on SpikeTV will be a historic moment as TNA Wrestling’s “iMPACT!” goes primetime with its new start time of 9pm ET! Don’t miss your chance to witness this epic two-hour event! The following is the official preview for the broadcast, including the two huge featured main events: MAIN EVENT: THE TNA IN-RING DEBUT OF KURT ANGLE VS. “THE MONSTER” ABYSS It will be the first TNA Wrestling bout for Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle, who faces off against the juggernaut Abyss on Thursday night! By winning the “Fight For The Right” tournament, Abyss has earned a shot at the NWA World Heavyweight Title at “Genesis”, but first he will have to step into the ring against Kurt Angle! Can Angle stand up to TNA’s premiere destructive force in his return bout? Without a doubt, it will be a moment the wrestling world will be watching! MAIN EVENT: SIX SIDES OF STEEL BARBED-WIRE: “THE WAR MACHINE” RHINO vs. CHRISTIAN CAGE Former friends now bitter enemies will battle inside TNA’s first-ever Six Sides Of Steel Barbed-Wire bout on Thursday night as “The War Machine” Rhino collides with Christian Cage! In order to win, you must escape through the cage door or climb over the top (where the razor wire will be blocking any escape). In an attempt to end the carnage between Rhino and Cage, TNA management has granted them this violent arena of warfare on the primetime debut of “iMPACT!”. Which TNA star will ultimately survive what promises to be a violent and bloody bout? Tune in and find out! MLB WORLD SERIES MVP DAVID ECKSTEIN TO APPEAR IN A SPECIAL INTERVIEW WITH JIM CORNETTE St. Louis Cardinals star and World Series MVP David Eckstein will appear on the primetime special in an interview with Jim Cornette to talk TNA! Eckstein is a huge fan of Total Nonstop Action and plans to attend several TNA events in Orlando, Florida, this winter! The interview was taped Tuesday at the Louisville Slugger Museum in Louisville, Kentucky. X DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: AJ STYLES VS. CHRIS SABIN VS. CHRISTOPHER DANIELS Three of TNA’s no-limits, high-flying X style elite will face off on Thursday’s primetime debut with the X Championship up for grabs as titleholder “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles puts the gold on the line against former champions Chris Sabin and Christopher Daniels! Styles and Daniels are recent tag team partners, but that friendship will be put on hold in this bout with the title on the line! Plus, will Styles get revenge on Sabin for costing him a shot at the NWA World Title? Catch all the X Division action this Thursday night at 9pm ET! THE LATIN AMERICAN EXCHANGE PROMISES TO TORCH THE FLAG On Thursday’s “iMPACT!”, Konnan and The Latin American Exchange promised to create controversy on the primetime debut as they have vowed to torch the American Flag! The LAX have chosen the primetime stage as their platform to showcase their hatred and contempt for America! In addition, they have invited Canada’s own Petey Williams to take part in the torching! Will the LAX make good on their anti-American promise and cause huge controversy? Will anyone from the TNA roster attempt to step up and stop them? Tune in to “iMPACT!” on Thursday night to find out! SAMOA JOE IN ACTION AGAINST JAY LETHAL The TNA star that will challenge Kurt Angle at “Genesis” – “The Samoan Submission Machine” Samoa Joe – will be in action on the primetime debut of “iMPACT!” this Thursday when he faces off against X Division star Jay Lethal! Just three days before he collides with the Olympic gold medalist, Joe will unleash his path of destruction on Thursday night on SpikeTV! TABLES MATCH: TEAM 3D vs. THE NATURALS After what took place on “iMPACT!” between Shane Douglas, The Naturals and Team 3D, both sides will battle on Thursday’s two-hour special in Team 3D’s specialty bout, a Tables Match! The Naturals are looking to step up against the best tag teams in TNA, and they picked a huge fight against one of the greatest tag teams of all-time! Can “The Franchise” lead his team to a victory against Brother Ray and Brother Devon? Or, will Team 3D get revenge on The Naturals by putting them through the wood? See it unfold on Thursday night on “iMPACT!”. Plus, NWA World Heavyweight Champion Sting is scheduled to be on the primetime debut of “iMPACT!” on SpikeTV! All this and much more this Thursday night on the two-hour primetime debut of “iMPACT!’ on SpikeTV, beginning at 9pm ET! Plus, there will be more news and matches announced for Sunday’s huge “Genesis” Pay-Per-View event! _________________________________________________________________ I very much predict this will suck, and I'll be too busy watching Grey's Anatomy to find out - but you all have fun. ![]() #bestintheworld #allhailtheking MY WORKRATE > YOUR WORKRATE ![]() SIX STARS | STRONG STYLE | SIX STARS Quote:

I'm going to be honest.... I went out of my way to watch this, and by 9:35, I've pretty much decided I have no desire to watch TNA again... At least WWE entertains me somewhat, and doesn't make me feel embarrassed to watch. THe commentary is unbearable, and there lame ass promos are driving me insane. Every promo is like a trailer for a halloween movie. So far, the only redeeming things have been Nash and Shelly ( I hate what they've done to Aries), and Homicide....
Seriously, I can't watch anymore. I'm going back to bed. |

Oh, and Billy Gunn and Roaddogg thinking they're anywhere near the level of HHH/HBK is laughable.
Seriously, I've never watched WWE and been like "You know what, I can't take this anymore, I'm leaving." And I've been watching WWE for years. TNA made me do it in one hour. |

Now yes their commentary is bad, but it's nothing to be embarssed about. TNA should seriously sign Mauro Ranallo the former Pride PBP guy. He has an excllent background in Pro wrestling, and with him calling the matches and Mike Tenay doing the analyzing would be a tremendous broadcast team. Then you move Don West to being a backstage interviewer and a hype guy for the PPV's would be smart move. Now with all that said I like Don West, and I hope he stays in TNA for a long time. |

Also the fact that you have been watching the WWE for years is probably the big reason why you don't turn it off. The reason why people don't turn WWE off is because they have been watching if years and they are use to it, and that right there is where a big disadvantage for TNA comes in. |

Paul Levesque and Michael Hickenbottom are probably laughing right now
but then again, I doubt they even tuned into this crap, so I guess they havent watched it yet VKM is TERRIBLE. VKM is a poor man's DX, if anything. And this is coming from a guy who thinks DX is utter crap |

My thoughts on the show...
I thought the opening segment was just retarded. Team 3D, mainly Brother Ray fucking put over The Naturals so damn well in that promo. Only for it to be ruined by the lack of skill that The Naturals possess. I actually enjoyed the VKM segment. Like, I KNOW neither BG or Kip are anywhere near HHH & HBK, but I thought it served a good purpose. The purpose being that TNA is waging war against the WWE. (Not that I think they should even attempt to do this, nor do I think there is a war, but since they are doing it anyways I thought it was an effective promo). Eh, maybe its just because I can't fucking stand the new DX and have not enjoyed a single segment of theirs since they began. The Rhino-Cage match pissed me off with TNA coming back from the commercial with Christian busted open, and none of the television audience being able to see the action that led to it, occur live. I thought the Kevin Nash and Shelley-Starr thing was absolutely terrible. How many times has the X-Division Championship changed hands in the last month? The Styles-Cage feud interests me though, and I think they should keep Styles out of the X-Division and start giving him feuds with guys like Christian, Raven, Steiner, Rhino, Joe, Sting and eventually Angle. The Angle-Abyss match was a nice match, but why the hell would you book the #1 Contender for the NWA World Championship to lose THREE days before his big title match on PPV with Sting? Just fucking terrible booking. Sting, the babyface comes in to hit the heel challenger with a baseball bat 8 times. Very good guy like of him to beat on his challenger with a bat, who has already wrestled a match for 15 minutes against KURT ANGLE non the less. ----- I was considering ordering Genesis, but after that show... FUCK IT, I'll save my money and bittorrent it. |
