Why is it that I can see Anderson turning heel Sunday and screwing Morgan out of the title, thus making NO sense? Oh, I know why, because TNA's booking is fucking stupid and they can't go 2 weeks without a "major" swerve. I'm thinking Anderson gets knocked out and Refsky comes running out to replace him... and then screws Morgan over. Otherwise I think I agree with everything you wrote. I enjoyed the fistpump segment as well. It was a bit dumb that the show started in the middle of a hectic four-way tag match, but they kept everything ticking along at a good pace. When they ran down the PPV line up I realised that they had actually done a really good job building up all these matches the last few weeks. I would also add that Madison Rayne's new entrance music is AWESOME. That is so perfect for her character. Oh, and Sarita won another match! She outsmarted those two skanks!

So, random guys are just going to resurrect out of the casket now every week now? Really? Have (any of) you seen "Being John Malkovich"? If we find out there's a portal in one of the dressing rooms that transports you into the casket, it would be gold. I know we've joked that TNA is a bit like "Lost", but if they actually said 'fuck it' and went balls out with the loopiness - whilst still maintaining internal logic (yeah, I know, stop laughing) - it would probably be a blast. These assholes writing wrestling should really watch seasons 1-4 of "Buffy The Vampire Slayer". The problem is that they half-ass it and do silly "this story right here is REAL, listen to all the shooty comments" and blah blah blah.

I've never seen the movie.
But I will say that, if TNA is going to copy shit WWE does, at least copy the GOOD shit they do! The casket shit is some of the stupider shit they do. It just has a history with Taker. TNA is fuckin stupid

Thought this week's Impact was really good.... once Bischofff buggered off.
See, I want Jeff Hardy to be the mastermind behind Nexus now.
Brother Ray hiring a cut-price Devon mk2 was gold. I officially like this angle now.
Tara doing a terrible lip synch with Generation Me as her backing dancers: gold.
Sarita accused Velvet of running to Angelina whenever she got in trouble. And then the match was... Velvet running to Angelina when she got in trouble, who promptly won the match. That was actually pretty subtle. On the down side, I guess that's Sarita's push over because I suppose she has to job to Velvet now. You know, despite the Beautiful People's entire gimmick being picking on other people.
Pope's magical casket (is the Pope supposed to be dead?) and gospel choir was so surreal that it was actually interesting.
Really liked the cage match. It wasn't the smoothest of matches, but it felt more like a fight (well, at least until the crazy ending). I really like this iteration of Mickie James.

I also don't like TNA's habit of singling just one or two things out as being real. They might as well go all the way with the wacky stuff. As long as Eric Bischoff takes on the role of Ben from Lost and gets his ass kicked every show.
They should also have James Storm on commentary every week. "What do you call a woman without her two front teeth? A bottle opener." I wonder if Beer Money's little tiff about getting more beer is the start of a breakup.
It was good to see Daffney on this week. She was acting kinda funny though. Looked a bit drunk. And Sarita pwning Velvet was funny.
The cage match was also pretty good. In fact a lot of the knockout stuff was decent this week.
Good to see Douglas Williams with the TV belt and getting a push.
... wait a second. Weren't Morgan and Anderson supposed to be wrestling on the show? Or did they say that was next week? Whatever.
Taz is still annoying.
I also agree about Robbie E. That guy is pretty funny.

As long as Eric Bischoff takes on the role of Ben from Lost Eric Bischoff from Raw and gets his ass kicked every show. I fixed that for you I thought they said it was at the PPV. Unless I imagined it. True, but sometimes he says something that makes me laugh. Especially when something dumb happens, which Taz then points out it is dumb and doesn't understand why it is happening. That always cracks me up. I mean, Jesus, TNA had a falls count anywhere cage match this year

Did they really? LMAO I don't remember that. You can't get anymore ridiculous than that
I will say the show has been a bit better the last 2 weeks. Less Bischoff is always better too. It was great hearing Daffney get appreciated by the fans. Listen up Hogan and Dixie.
I also can't believe how much I like Jarrett all of a sudden. I never liked him ever. His gimmick is so funny right now
I liked Tar's Ashley Simpson lip sync too. Gen Me was great. I like that Eric Young has an angle again too.

Again, I liked Impact this week. I like what they're trying to do with the backstage / roaming camera shots. If you can suspend disbelief that there are cameramen all over the place, it's a different way of presenting things. AJ Styles and Bischoff backstage made me laugh. Hey everyone, let's define "irony" for Eric! How about an episode of something called "Total Nonstop Action" consisting entirely of Eric Bischoff yapping a few weeks back? Would that count? And Bischoff was such a douchebag about Tessmacher that the end result has to be a Bischoff vs Tessmacher match, where Tessmacher wins after punching Bischoff in the cock, thus making her the biggest face in the company. Eric Young story was pretty funny. When I was six years old, I dreamt of being World Champion. Then I found the title in the trash and now I'm Champion. Can't argue with that logic. (I'm sure Bischoff enjoyed the IRONY of it too). Also, Did they really? LMAO I don't remember that. You can't get anymore ridiculous than that I immediately thought of this when Eric won a battle royale in the middle of a tag match, and the commentators were all "Eric Young is Krrraaazzzyyy". Because winning a battle royale in the middle of a tag match = crazy; a falls count anywhere cage match = totally sane. Jeff Hardy: "what if Matt Morgan was part of us? Crazier things have happened" it's funny coz it's TNA Impact. When AJ Styles attacked Douglas Williams, I was hoping they'd fight through a succession of doors into a succession of changing rooms. So they started in Williams' room, then fought into Madison's room, then went through another door into Abyss' changing room, and so on and so on until eventually they end up back in Douglas William's room, where they would stop brawling, look around and go, "uh, what the fuck?"

Eric Young is awesome. I love when he attacks Orlando
Orlando is such a fruitbasket. But at least they're making him a bit more entertaining as opposed to super weird
Morgan is getting annoying. He never minds his own fuckin business
I love Yoda Kendrick
AJ was great while attacking Williams. SHUT UP HOOKER!
Eric Bischoff is such a tool. He really is. "Irony" doesn't even begin to describe his entire career

Apparently on Impact this week Douglas Williams is facing AJ Styles in an Iron Man Match.
A 15 minute Iron Man Match.
Have I mentioned recently that TNA is fucking stupid? Because TNA is fucking stupid.

Welcome to the Twilight Zone, ya Yambags. Eric Young is my favourite guy in TNA. He constantly cracks me the hell up. It's good to see him as world champion. Long overdue. What the hell was that all about with the Pope. What I saw was him getting some money from some guy. Going in his car. Getting out the car a short while later. Going into a nudie bar. Whatsupwitdat? The JJMMA segments are so over the top. How long until Kurt Angle in a wig comes out of the crowd and snaps his freakin' ankle?

I enjoyed the Douglas Williams vs AJ match. But come on, TNA. A 15 minute "Iron Man" match? This isn't hard. Just come up with a new name for that stipulation.
oh, and they had a pinfall during the break.
Have I mentioned recently that TNA is fucking stupid? Because TNA is fucking stupid.
Ric Flair was great again this week. And, you know, he's got a point. Foley started all of this.
Jarrett's fake doctor blinding Amazing Red was some quality heeling.
So Sarita wore that little top thing, did her hair up and put on makeup before slithering into Velvet's locker room with a belt. Uhm... yeah. That made the beatdown pervier than it should have. As awesome as Sarita is at bringing the evil and dishing out a smackdown, I kinda felt dirty after watching that.
EDIT
Oh, something else I just remembered: someone needs to explain to Bischoff what "checkmate" means.
merry christmas, butthats

I still didn't see TNA this week. I watched the first 20 minutes and fell asleep and just haven't gotten to it. I really hate TNA Bischoff. Raw Bischoff was awesome though. He such an ass in the most brilliantly written way

The "iron man" match is worth checking out if you're bored and can find it.
To be honest I've been enjoying Impact lately. They even used one of their dumb plot twists (Dixie's lawyers) for good (keeping Hogan off TV) rather than evil stupid (Bischoff thinking he can escape "checkmate").
Might as well enjoy it while it lasts, because you know these assholes are going to bring in Matt Hardy as their top face, at which point the promotion is going straight down the toilet. Matt Hardy's first promo on Impact will make us long for that all-Bischoff episode a few weeks back.

I've been enjoying it since the Hogan/Dixie lawsuit eps too. It's been more on point, every eps has spaced out segments but they keep the interest going with a lot of backstage shit. It's not just Bischoff running around the Impact zone trying to avoid caskets and give orders
