At first I thought she was suppose to be Mrs. Styles

I think everyone did. There was a small "AJ is in trouble" chant

Enjoyed impact this week up until the end where it made damn all sense. Is AJ meant to be her sponsor or what?
The twist of faith Rvd took looked class. Really enjoyed the close ups to Joseph Park eating popcorn lol. Pity Bully Ray didn't beat the worthless Pope and I was glad Devon didn't wrestle this week.

Who do we blame? :pac:

Anderson has gotten a bit lazy wrestling-wise, which makes his matches less watchable, but that might be because they burried him for nearly a year.
But give him a mic, and he's as good as anyone on the roster.

Brooke is a major ratings-killer, and is a step backwards for a division which long-term is set to get it's own show imo.

Anderson is perhaps the most annoying person in TNA when he talks, second only to crappy Cena comedy in all of wrestling.

gnfnrhead

Anderson is great on the mic when he is a heel. He's decent as a serious babyface but it never lasts, he always tries to bring comedy in which he sucks at. No idea why the continue to push him as a babyface. It's not like they are short handed: Sting, Angle, Styles, RVD, Hardy, Storm, Aries compared to Roode, Bully Ray, Daniels?..... I don't even know who else you could consider a top teir heel.

Furious-Red

Yea i think they need to turn Anderson Heel since there is way too many top babyfaces and cant see them turning Hardy again , RVD is boring as a face but would probably be worse as a heel ,

Pretty great Aries promo at the start:

They've never consistently used any specific words (and have used superstars before), I assume it's whatever comes into the mind of the person posting the video.

Why are their theme tunes are always almost impossible to hear?

But anyway, really looking forward to the tag match.

Yeah it's something that always slightly bugged me about TNA.

Machismo Fan

Pretty solid opener, RVD looked like he was actually trying a little.

Cherry_Cola

Sonjay Dutt, nice!

ayatollah

the guru is back????

damit

no i cant watch it i have work in the morning - must resist.

spiritcrusher

Ouch, my rib cage! Very enjoyable little match that.

Cherry_Cola

Over 10 years watching Bubba and I've never seen him hit that senton off the ropes .

Machismo Fan

This has been a pretty great IMPACT so far.

It's been fantastic alright, puts RAW to shame really. Hope we get another X-division match tonight.

There is, and apparently

Too Cold Scorpio

is backstage.

Cherry_Cola

Another great match. They really seem to be looking to build the X-division back up which is great. Cool to see guys like Dutt and Sabian in the running too.

spiritcrusher

Great show, some top class wrestling all the way through. Only bad points are Tazz can't sell for shit on commentary and that weird AJ/pregnant addict story is doing nothing for me.

paddyismaddy

cant believe daniels and kaz got belts back already and this stupid aj and dixie and pregnant lady still going on and still no news on who took out sting :rolleyes:

gnfnrhead

Seen the Kazarian thing coming a mile away, but I still enjoyed it. If they insist on continueing the storyline they have to keep Daniels and Kazarian together and looking pretty good. Splitting them up would end the feud as Daniels would need to deal with Kazarian instead.

Other than the ending (which again I saw coming a mile away :pac:) and Gut Check getting it wrong for the third consecutive time, it was a great show. The RVD vs Anderson match seemed a little too planned out but that's a minor complaint. Everything else was great. Curious as to who will be in the X-Division qualifiers next week.

Hogan mentioned it when talking to Storm and Hardy. He said he has no clue who it was since they just hit and ran. He can't think of anyone who would do that. Seems obvious now that they were hired goons which is why they haven't been back.

the groutch

the Gut Check was cringetastic.
you could tell that Taeler was hating playing the babyface.

Why does she usually play heel?
