i've been watching the last ten minutes of their Twitch reporter (who has near Borash-level enthusiasm for TNA) going through the crowd getting them hyped and Canadian necks are a whole different and adorable breed from the Georgia ones I am used to.

Rich Swann got concussed and is off the show, which shouldn't negatively impact anyone who wanted to see this card

Tommy Dreamer is excellent at wrestling Tommy Dreamer matches. I mean that in a good way. He paces his matches out incredibly well.

I know dude's broken down and he probably shouldn't be doing this, but holy gently caress he's got the crowd in the palm of his hand.

I just got home and decided to throw this on since I've heard decent things about recent TNA. I'm curious to see whether they're putting out a better product than WWE.

Yeah this was hosed.

I am into this show, first time I have watched since the Hardy compound stuff and admittedly I am cooking as well (chicken quesadillas are bangin btw) but this has been waaay easier to digest than the average WWE show

What I like are the video packages. It feels like stories are actually being told, as opposed to just a series of matches happening.

This is the second match tonight that started prematurely because one of the competitors was too hot (story-line wise) to wait for the bell. That's some nice storytelling right there.

Also, Su Yung rocks.

It's a nice touch. Nothing ruins immersion like building up a blood feud that starts with a collar and elbow tie up.

No joke. That finish and post-match were equal parts cool and just gross. That's an amazing gimmick.

I do feel like a little more could be done with lighting and camerawork to make it a little spookier. Nothing budget breaking, but dimming the lights more when she comes out would improve the effect.
