    I'm just watching Impact now, I didnt see the PPV

    Do TNA just not understand their audience or what is it? Mick Foley did an obvious subtle heel promo yet got cheered the whole way through

    I'm not sure who won the Lethal Lockdown match. I'm guessing Angle's team

    Jeffs team won. I've given up trying to understand tna so now i just leave my brain in the kitchen, that way if it gets fryed i can't complain.

    Maybe I wasn't listening well enough but at the start I saw Kurt smiling and the commentators talking about him maybe bringing Lashley in. And Jeff didn't look that pleased when he came out at the start

    I think that they might just be going too subtle on Mick's heelishness. These fans probably aren't picking up on any of it

    Trevor Murdoch!!

    MEM always come out on top of the frontline, even when they lose to them.

    Why did they bother with a 4 minute ladder match? The beer money lethal consequences match was pretty good.

    This torn hamstring really doesn't seem to have affected Jeff at all. He ran across the ring no problem

    What's Joe's problem? He's a moany prick

    What was the urgent call from Jeff's daughter about? Just an excuse for him not to talk to Borash?

    And why did they show the Lockdown promo video again?

    Is that all that Lashley did at Lockdown too? Just walk out and do nothing, with Kurt all happy and Jeff annoyed?

    TNA is so frustrating, in ring it can be superb but most of the time it's a mess.

    That's the first time that I've ever seen an Impact without watching the PPV before it. I found it a little confusing. And that's how most Impact viewers watch the show

    I'm sometimes left confused by other wrestling shows, but I usually get the sense that the writers just didn't bother with making sure that everything made sense, ie. they realised that something didn't make sense but they went with it anyway because they wanted to. With TNA I always feel like I'm missing something. That's why I always have questions. Like the writers believed that everything made perfect sense and anything that didn't must be because I missed something. Some of it is, some of it isn't. Which is partly their fault anyway I think, because I don't usually miss things on other wrestling shows

    It was one of the better Impacts that I've watched in the last month or so. I only realised that there was no Kurt on the show at the end when he came out. I liked not having him on. Usually he's out at the start giving a big speech and giving out to someone

    I hope that they get some good teams into the tag title tournament, the "best in the world" had better not all be TNA guys

    Was Lashley the only former world champ at Lockdown? Machismo Fan said that they said there'd be two

    Its difficult to fit everyone into the two hours (Not including ads). There is always so much going on in each show it can be hard to follow.

    That one seems to be up in the air. Some think it was stevie richards. On the other hand talkm is nthe 2nd world champs identity was only to be hinted at during lockdown. Before lethal lockdown match joe was seen talking to someone off screen getting advice. During his entrance he wore a bleck towel over his head ala taz. Then he did a heap of taz like suplexes. Talk of him coming in as a mentor.

    This week on impact you may have noticed joe getting out of a car wearing the black towel as AJ approached . The car then sped off. Joe spoke of a nation of violence, you need more than one person in a nation. Might not be taz at all. They may just be creating a storyline in case tazz did sign.

    Yet the promo at the start goes on for about 20 minutes when it could all have been said in 5. It's wasteful.

    - Longtime TNA fans will be happy to know that former X Division Champion "The Amazing Red" will make his return to TNA this coming Thursday on "iMPACT!" on SpikeTV. The popular high-flyer will compete in the Team 3D Tag Team Tournament, teaming with current X Champion Suicide to take on The Motor City Machineguns on Thursday's broadcast!

    As for the second World Champ I believe they said that one would be revealed and you'd find out the clues to unlock the identity of the other person (I think, could be wrong) so I think it was who ever Joe was talking to at Lockdown (and they seem to be heavily hinting at Tazz).

    By the way best moment in iMPACT! history:

    Word on the street was that Cade was approached to be his partner but he was in Japan and unavailable.

    the foley "mr pogo" joke went over the heads of 99.99% of tna fans no doubt

    I hope Murdoch doesn't try his version of the canadian destroyer, someone will get hurt.

    At least if he tries it on an X-Division guy, the majority of them will know how to take it.

    I would be fascinated to hear how any wrestler can "take it".

    It's not a Canadian Destroyer. It's a sunset flip powerbomb. Same as Amazing Red's Code Red. It's Murdoch's main finisher, most guys can take it properly, Matt Hardy ****ed it up though
