It doesn't look like the most positive start to the iMPACT! Wrestling era.

It appears my suspicions of it being a swerve may be right.

N'ah turns out his tweets were about his college course ending.

Abyss X Division Champ? Angle-JJ STILL going on? On paper this really doesn't look like a great iMPACT! Wrestling, but I'll reserve full judgment until it airs.

Abyss should only be short term, but yeah. And Angle/Jarrett was always due to go another month (even though it should've ended at Lockdown). Unless they bring in new guys, they can't possibly be looking to focus on the X-Division.

Speaking of the angle and bringing in new people, were the heck did Chyna go?

It's probably best she's used sparingly. Once or twice a year is fine as a nostalgia act, but if she were there every week the novelty would've worn off by Slammiversary.

have to say i thought the same when i saw the pic - or like the old smackdown set.

i love how they think its the way they are branded is the main problem when its the people who run it are their own wost emenies. i mean how they constantly fu<k up with the talent at their disposal is beyond me

hopefully they're giving Eric Young a proper push, he's a serious case of wasted talent

Another solid impact in my book. I didn't like Abyss becoming x division champ but I can't complain about the standard of the match itself or anything else. I'm liking the X division storyline, and the bit with Anderson as Sting was class. They shouldn't have cut to him backstage every 5 minutes though as it was pretty obvious it wasn't Sting.

The fans talking about how wrestling matters was pretty cheesy, must be said.

A much better iMPACT! Wrestling than it read. Kaz/Abyss in particular was a very good little match.

Yea really enjoyed Impact and i thought the opening segment was great imo. Hopefully its the beginning of something good , once JJ/Angle ends at Slammiversary and the X-Division comes out on top in the end , could TNA bring a few old x-divison stars just for the storyline. And with ODB back hopefully we will see a push in the Knockouts

i thought they dragged out the brawling a bit much

Abyss Vs Kazarian is probably the best non PPV match this year
