I didn't think the new guy was that bad. He wasn't as good as JR or Striker, but he was still much better than Cole.

I agree with you, but he managed to talk about the match without waffling too much, I think he'll improve.

Tazz: "I got an idea."

I loved how Tazz openly complained about being punished by having to work with Josh on Velocity.

Pretty much out no where. Josh Matthews did a good job recognizing that Tazz is a curmudgeon and hates pretty much everything, including solar system references in Matt Hardy promos.

Thursday's Impact

quote:

Madison Rayne vs. Taylor Wilde
Wilde wins by pinfall. Rest of Beautiful People run in and beat down on Wilde. Sarita attempts the save but gets beat down. ODB runs in and clears the ring.

AJ Styles makes his way to the ring. Talks about Hogan bringing TNA to a whole new level. Switches to who has jumped him and calls him out. Daniels comes out they go back and forth and ends with Daniels calling AJ arrogant and saying he is spoiled by TNA. Daniels claims he is just as good as AJ. Now Joe comes out to join the conversation to stir things up saying Daniels is jealous of AJ. Sets up AJ vs. Daniels for tonight.

EY and Rob Terry vs. Beer Money
Beer Money wins after EY accidentally hits Big Rob with the Legends Title. British Invasion comes down to save EY from a DUI. When W.E. gets to the top of the ramp they are jumped by the MCMG.

Penzer announces that Joe will be the ref for the AJ vs Daniels match.

Cody Deaner vs. Desmond Wolfe
One clothesline and its done...guess who won...Wolfe. He goes to the top of the ramp to address Kurt just running him down wondering why he would want to get back in the ring with him at Turning Point.

Joe comes down to ref AJ vs. Daniels with latex gloves on?

Daniels makes his way to the ring and they cut to AJ in the back with JB. AJ is attacked by his mystery attacker so its not Joe or Daniels...as Daniels goes back to check AJ, Joe jumps him and gives him a muscle buster.

Tara vs. Hamada
Tara wins after a Widow's Peak. Kong comes out but is stopped by security just before she can get in the ring. Tara goes to the top rope and dives on Kong and security.

Penzer claims Daniels vs. AJ will still happen.

Mick Foley comes out and says he has a gift for Abyss which turns out to be a drawing of him and Abyss. He praises who Abyss has become. Next week Abyss vs. Dr. Stevie. If Abyss pins Stevie then he is gone from TNA.

Homicide vs Bobby Lashley w/ Krystal who quickly gets sent to the back by Earl Hebner. Lashley wins after a one handed press slam. Cide attacks Lashley from behind only to be brought up for another press slam Lashley drops him after he sees Steiner on the screen going after Krystal. Lashley goes to the back. Cide pushes Earl Hebner twice until Red comes out to save Earl.

AJ vs. Daniels (Take 2)
Crowd was really behind this one and it was a great match that went back and forth between the two. AJ wins after the Styles Clash. At the end of the match Joe looks like he is about to leave and instead chokes AJ out and poses over the two holding the title belt.

Team 3D vs. Morgan and Hernandez
During the match Rhyno comes down mid match and attempts to give Brother Ray a chair but he pushes Rhyno away. Ray finally snaps and uses the chair on their opponents. They 3D looks disappointed in themselves and Rhyno gores both Hernandez and Morgan. He then raises 3D's arms in the middle of the ring.

The Beautiful People and Kong vs ODB, Sarita, Taylor Wilde, and Tara
Heels win after Kong pinned Taylor.

For the record, Hogan did a book signing in St. Louis tonight

Russo, trying to keep his job, has proven that he can, in fact, put on a decent show. In doing so, however, he's also shown us that he must have purposefully been putting on a lovely show until now.

Why? It advances every match from the PPV, nobody acts out of character, there aren't any wacky antics, the wrestling was taken seriously, and the main-event feud looks strong as poo poo. What looked lovely about it?

Edit: You also have to keep in mind that the segments are shot out-of-sequence, so they won't air in this order.

Lets look at it. British Invasion are suspended, yet are still running in. If they were suspended, they wouldn't even be allowed in the building. WHY ARE THEY STILL ALLOWED TO APPEAR? It just makes TNA Management look totally inefficient at doing their jobs.

Who is attacking AJ? We know it's not Joe or Daniels, so what bearing does this possibly have on their feud? Why do AJ and Daniels still hate each other now that AJ knows Daniels didn't do it?

WHY DOES FOLEY INEXPLICABLY LIKE ABYSS NOW? HE HASN'T CHANGED AT ALL. WHY IS ABYSS STILL FEUDING WITH STEVIE?

Lashley makes Homicide look like a complete joke, showing that his heel turn done weeks ago was done with zero direction planned.

Why are the Dudleys teaming with Rhyno if they hate him?


Let's be real here, I'm one of the most forgiving people on the TNA side of this forum, but this episode looks like complete poo poo.

You're right on most accounts, but these two seem pretty easy to answer just based on the spoilers.

-Yeah, Daniels didn't attack AJ, but he's still been manipulated to think AJ doesn't think highly of him. That happened before AJ was ever attacked, so it stands to think AJ is still unhappy with the way Daniels feels.

-Rhino's help is unwanted. I'm guessing Team 3D can't finish off Morgan and Hernandez, so a frustrated Ray takes the chair Rhino brought out and uses it. Rhino's fine with that, he just wanted to see Morgan and Hernandez taken out. It also wouldn't surprise me if he simply grabs 3D's hands and raises them up when they're not paying attention to where he's at.

Discounting the British Invasion part, which grody's totally right about, and the Foley/Abyss/Stevie storyline, which just needs to end, this actually does sound like a decent Impact. I'm also assuming the 8-girl tag match isn't part of the show, and maybe was taped for next week's show.
