I was bored this afternoon, so I watched this week's Impact (I refuse to spell it like they spell it). I guess it's a bit self-indulgent to start a thread about it, but I didn't want to gay up other threads.
Anyway:
- Eric Bischoff is so smug and condescending and slimy that I was thinking if he was on Raw he would be a WWE face. Then I realised he actually is a face. Oh well.
- Orlando Jordan lost. Progress, I guess.
- I want Kenn... I mean, Anderson to die. And fucking hell, he's STILL doing that "repeating things" gimmick? Hey, I remember 5 years ago as well, assholes!
- Lacey Von Erich's sumersault into an elbow drop is officially the dumbest move in wrestling right now.
- This was the first time I'd seen AJ Styles as a heel, and boy it's totally unconvincing. As soon as he came out I thought "couldn't they get him a decent suit? Is he going to a f'king job interview or is he TNA World Champion?"
- Desmond Wolfe is the best thing on this show.
- Matt Morgan sucks.
- Eric Young talked to Hogan. Eric talked with Angle. Angle talked with Hogan. There was an awful lot of yapping going on to set up a pretty simple closing angle with "the band". Also, "the band" look like a couple of drunk hobos.
- And I suppose it was more important for Hogan to wait until Angle was DEAD in the ring before coming to save him. I guess having a SHOCKING swerve was more important than coming out sooner before he gets hit with the brass knuckles 100 times. TNA faces suck.
- I kept waiting for the Nasty Boys and the Dudleys to show up, but they didn't, so that has to be a positive.
I dunno. There were a couple of decent matches on the show, there's a few interesting characters, but I really do not care about "the band" or Hogan waving his dick around. Also the commentators suck. It hardly screams "must see" TV or anything.

Hogan's booking is very 1980ish. He really thinks the Nasty Boyz are interesting?

I can't take the Nasty Boys seriously at all. Knobbs always sounds like hes two words from a heart attack during his promos and Sags just yells TIME TO GET NASTY! or whatever a lot. Fuck thats annoying.

Knobs is a good heel only for the simple fact that he annoys the ever living shit out of me. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing because part of me wants to see him die and another part of me simply doesn't want him on my tv. He looks like a cross between something from Fraggle Rock and a fat dyke.
Sags doesn't bother me as much. I can tolerate him. But seriously, in general, I can't take those f'n guys seriously either. I can't believe we're supposed to believe that they can actually beat Team 3D, the most decorated team in the world

Every time Knobbs talks in charcter I'm just waiting for him to die. Sags can at least do his thing in the ring still so I slightly like him more then Knobbs.

Knobs looks like his blood pressure is through the roof or something. Something just looks so unhealthy about him

I agree with most of what V said.
And I also totally despise the Nasty Boys. Knobbs in particular. He is like a big fat 50 year old dyke from the 1980's who just waddled out of a Poison concert. He also reminds me of Mr. Creosote from Monty Python. As Scott Steiner might say, "He's a FAT BASTARD!".

I actually watched about the first hour of this week's Impact too. It was much better.
edit: oh, oops, SPOILERS:
Mostly because it featured Daffney beating the shit out of Tara, which made me happy. In my pants.
But also, because Eric Bischoff basically guaranteed to unmask Abyss. And failed. Good going, Eric!
I also twigged this week that Eric actually is a heel. He just happens to hate Flair and AJ as well.
I think I could watch this show more regularly if it features Daffney beating the shit out of people and Eric's plans being foiled by the power of Hogan's mighty hot dog (seriously, all he did was show up and that was all it took to stop everyone in their tracks) every week.

YES!! LOL At least SOMEBODY is giving us some Wiley Bischoff!
I like the whole "Bischoff getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar by Hogan" angle too
And finally Daffney gets pushed!
That was a bit disturbing when that royal ROYAL queer came out with Orlando and the chick. That gimmick was Orlando's idea too because he's really bisexual. Not to sound too old fashioned but I can totally do without a gimmick like that.
Plus he's black

LOL. Well played. I'll wait and see on how they play the bisexual thing. I don't have a problem with it in principle, but I have a feeling they'll rehash a bunch of tired stereotypes and it's going to be embarassing to watch. Plus it involves Orlando Jordan, so it's at a disadvantage right out the gate.

I mean, I'll admit, I'm not completely unentertained by Impact. I enjoy at least half the show. I don't think Hogan's doing a horrible job. The MSJ ripoff was very dumb though

I zipped through the last two weeks of Impact and this shit is getting WCW THUNDERous.
Abyss = Frodo Baggins. At least J.B. looks a little like Sam. And Hogan is Gollum, I suppose, because he will turn on Abyss sooner or later like everyone else.
Wiley Bischoff is in about fifty segments every show.
I like Pope getting pushed. Doubt he'll win the title, but it's a refreshing addition to the main event.
I have come to the conclusion that Samoa Joe is now the Kane of TNA. His angles just get stupider and shitter and crack-pipier every single time. Now he's getting abducted by group of fat Samoan ninjas for some reason.
Why is Nash fucking around week after week. Just turn on Eric Young already. They confirmed it this week when he got attacked, only you didn't see it, you only heard it. I bet the reasoning is that Nash and Eric want their hands on them so bad that they beg Hogan to give them official contracts so they can get their hands on them in a match. Once Scotch Hall and Porno-Pac are signed up to big fat five-year contracts so they can wrestle this one match, Nash will boot Eric Young in the face and the masterplan will be complete. Muahahaha.
I am very pleased to see Daffney getting a push. Also, Tara is so fucking annoying in TNA. She was good in WWE but she bugs the life out of me in TNA.
Brian Kendrick has a cool theme. It doesn't hold a candle to his WWE theme but it's funny. I just wish he would win a match. Fuck off, Kaz.
These angles with Jeff, Foley and Bischoff are pathetic. Didn't Foley buy half the company (kayfabe) about a year ago. Did Bischoff take that money and stuff it into his blunt so now his 'shareholder' title means nothing and he has to do everything Bischoff tells him. The stuff with Jeff Jarrett is just painful to watch. "Bayshawff, ah told you ah wasn't gon' use no damn bat now gimme back mah company that I done gone founded and carried on mah back for four thousand years!"
Maybe Orlando Jordan will have a live sex celebration next week with his butch and his bltch.
The Nasty Boys AND Jimmy Hart now. The Grim Reaper isn't doing his fucking job!
Mr Anderson is such an annoying dickhead. Not in the way a heel should irritate the fans, he, as a whole, inside and outside of character just seems like such a jackass. Angle's promo about the meaning of his tags was good. At least his actually mean something, unlike Cena's which just have the numbers"$14" and ".99" on them.
And Hogan and Flair will be wrestling again come the next show.
Ugh.

The Nasty Boys AND Jimmy Hart now. The Grim Reaper isn't doing his fucking job! I laughed. Didn't watch the most recent episode, except for Daffney's match. Which they put an interview over. So fucking gay. I WANT TO SEE DAFFNEY WRESTLE YOU ASSHOLES!!!! My god. How can they fuck that up? And yeah, I have to reluctantly agree with you on Tara. I'm thissss close to dropping Tara as my TNA geisha for Sarita. And she wears almost as much makeup as Daffney. Still has a sick bod though. Tara and Daffney should be making a porn film teaming up as a crazy psycho pregnant dog tag team. Perhaps that will happen after they have a title match. I think we're supposed to forget the whole Mick Foley shareholder thing. It never made any sense to me in the first place, so it's impossible to even atttempt to explain how they got from point A to point B (point A being how no company on Earth operates, and point B being Hogan waving his hot dog around). I guess TNA are the Portsmouth FC of wrestling companies. And yeah, I like Wiley Bischoyte as much as the next guy, but having him in ten segments in an hour is overkill.

I don't want to hear any guy talking during a Daffney match or segment. Especially Taz, he's such a boner killer. Hopefully Daffney gets a title run out of this.
