Yeah Val is at ringside a lot. I think she's the chick that gets handed all the shit in the ring to by the ref before the match starts like the belts and the wrestlers jackets or vests they wear during their entrances

It turns out now Angelina suffered a partial bicep tear. But I think it happened during the match she lost. Can't say if it was a quick finish change or not. God I hope so!

It happened at Tuesday's Impact taping. Daffney almost died too. I hope TNA paid her hospital bills.
Sorry, fantasy booking here, but
They shouldn't have taken the belt off Tara.
Instead, Velvet wins a World Title match contract as the "first prize" in the keyboxclusterfuck challenge.
Angelina wins a Tag title match contract as "second prize".
Eventually you get that PPV tag match with all the titles on the line.
Madison pins Angelina to win the World Title.
Tara loses her shit at Angelina for costing her title and beats her up.
So you got from Point A to Point B without too much retardness. With some retardedness though.

They should be more like WWE. You know,
have Bret Hart come to the ring.
Then have Vince buy off his family
then wait 2 minutes and Bret can tell us he knew about it all along
Then...........
nevermind

I watched this week's Impact. Yeah, I know, I have a lot of time on my hands apparently. It wasn't too bad. Long-winded, rambling thoughts below:
Things I Liked
Now that X-Pac and Hall have buggered off (all the way to the bank, no doubt), The Band is back down to the two guys I liked in the first place: Kevin Nash and Eric Young.
Douglas Williams is great. I'm not saying he's ever going to be World Champion or anything, but he looks comfortable out there, and he can go in the ring. His war against flippyfloppyers is something I can get behind.
Echo Chamber Flairs was quite fun (even though it eventually set up Desmond jobbing). At least somebody looks like he's having fun out there.
For some reason it amuses me that Kenderson managed to get himself over big time in TNA. I don't exactly know why, though.
Things I Didn't Like
I apologise to Kelly Kelly and Tiffany for calling them The World's Worstest Tag Team, when that title clearly should be bestowed on Ink Inc. Shannon Moore is the Kelly Kelly of TNA.
Stop calling Sting "Steve" for fuck's sake.
Kristy Hemme's only job is to hold a mic and ask questions. Yet she apparently couldn't be arsed to wear anything better than ripped jeans and a tank top to work.
Things I... huh?
TNA's rankings system is basically a complete load of shit. That's the only way I can put it. They don't even try to make it resemble reality or logic or process. The rankings are like this because fuck you, that's why.
Bischoff wished Scott Hall a speedy recovery. Wasn't Hall a thorn in the side of TNA a few months back? I also don't get why Hall & Young had to qualify for the title match whereas the Machine Guns get a bye. In fact, I don't get why they were even stripped of the titles in the first place, seeing as they were doing a LayCool-style floating champions deal, where any combo of The Band were defending. Although Hall & Nash were the combo that initially won. Great continuity there (I don't even know if I'm being sarcastic).
As soon as Flair said he was bringing back the FOUR horsemen, I noticed there were FIVE men in the ring. They can't even get simple things right. It's just like the Four Horsemen, except there's five of them and it's a different name.
Hey everyone, I've decided to bring back The Beatles. Except there's going to be 8 of them and they're going to be called The Vuvuzelas. And it's going to be a football team. But otherwise it's going to be the same thing.

The Flair/Lethal thing was actually pretty entertaining
Desmond wins or he's out. Why do I have a feeling he gets a second chance?
Jesse Neal is the only reason Ink Inc doesn't kill me 150%. I actually think he has potential. As for Shannon, oh god. A friend of mine made a funny comment. He said he's positive Shannon has to be an ex fat kid that got made fun of all the time
Lacey was looking pretty damn good during that massage. Too bad she sucks worse than Kelly in the ring
I'm actually like Mr Anderson. I was laughing When Jeff goes, "What and asshole" (from the hallway) YES I AM!
And that really is a load of shit that Nash and Young lost their rematch. Although we got rid of Hall and Waltman. That's always a plus
I'm just so not entertained by Jarrett. Never was and never will be. Even in WWE he made me change the channel

I also watched this week.
I thought the Flair vs Lethal Wooo-Off was hilarious. Lethal absolutely nails it.
I also like Douglas Williams. He's such a bastard, lol. I also like Kendrick, but the longer Williams is the champion the better because it's funny that way.
I still can't stand Matt Morgan. It's nothing in particular, I just don't like him.
So let me get this straight.
1. TNA started a rankings system and let the fans vote for who they wanted to get a title shot.
2. The fans voted overwhelmingly for Desmond Wolfe because he's fucking awesome.
3. Hogan and his monkeys are shocked by this and go "Whoa, hold on right there, brother!" and decide that they will override the fans' votes because they voted wrongly.
4. Hogan and his monkeys effectively boot Desmond's arse down the pecking order and he lands in a faction with Flair.
5. Now, after being battered around by Abyss, he's lost his girl, he's jobbing and he's not even good enough to be a member of 2010's Four Horsemen, or 'Four Poofs and a Pensioner' as I think I might call them.
6. Gay
I also hate Shannon Moore. Jesse Neal seems OK. He has a good spear.
The Jarrett - Steve feud doesn't do much for me either.
Looks like they finally realised that even with Hogan giving him weekly handjobs in the ring, Abyss's face push has flopped. Even with the magical WWE Hall of Fame ring. Colour me shocked.
No Machine Guns again. That sucks.(By the way, I think they are official number one contenders, that's why they get an automatic title shot) No Big Bertha. No Daffney. ODB is gone. Where is Hamada and Sarita? Roxxi apparently got told she was getting fired minutes before her match at the PPV last week. The knockouts division used to be really good, now it sucks.

Gay I'm sure this occurred to you as well MasterSnit, but TNA's handling of this situation brings to mind a famous piece of writing by Bertolt Brecht: The Solution
After the uprising of the 17th of June The Secretary of the Writers Union Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee Stating that the people Had thrown away the confidence of the government And could win it back only By redoubled efforts. Would it not be easier In that case for the government To dissolve the people And elect another?

Yes, I was just about to mention that exact piece of famous writing by Bertolt Brecht.
They could have at least used the Irish method of using the public vote. Even if they vote wrongly the first time, just have them vote again and rig it.

He said he's positive Shannon has to be an ex fat kid that got made fun of all the time He is associating himself with Shannon Moore. That kinda cancels out any positive attributes he may have. It figures TNA would present Shannon Moore as a face. Typical. I know she's basically a plank, but you were right the first time, Champ. She is a ridiculously good-looking plank. I also get the feeling that we're not supposed to take her very seriously, which makes her less terrible than Kelly Kelly. I read that Rosie has already been fired. Although she's still on TNA's roster page, so who knows. Lord knows we need more of Chelsea's bad acting and Eric Bischoff's assistant rather than women actually wrestling. God, this company.

I think Morgan is loaded with potential. I just don't like something about his direction. Can't put my finger on it
As for Daffney, she's wrestled on Xplosion I believe and is expected back(hopefully, but who the hell knows with this company?)

Yes, I was just about to mention that exact piece of famous writing by Bertolt Brecht. I heard Fred Nietzsche once watched TNA Impact (I refuse to spell it like they spell it). He said The object in watching TNA Impact is not 'to know' but to schematise - to impose upon chaos as much regularity and form as our practical needs require.

Yeah but there's a way to impose on chaos and still keep structure. Just look at the NXT angle!

So, this week's show. Shannon Moore holding his own against two men = gay. Abyss channelling the power of Hulkamania to destroy Hulkamania is amusing. Sting fooling other wrestlers and whaling on them with his baseball bat never gets old. And who wants to bet that after DDTing Lacey and Velvet's heads onto steel chairs, Angelina Love ends up siding with them in the next couple of weeks.

Can't believe I'm going to say this,
I liked Impact this week! Just about every segment and match was somewhat entertaining.
Angelina and Velvet was awesome. It's one thing to see two hot chicks who suck but when you have two hot chicks that break their asses out there, it makes me want to bang a knockout and rub it in a diva's(Kelly) face. Even Madison cut really good acting spots.
I'm still a sucker for the fake "Stings" too. Being Jarrett's on the end of the beatings also helps keep the angle interesting
I like Crazy Brian Kendrick. His and Doug Williams feud has potential to become a dark horse feud.
Abyss is already 10 times better. His promos have gotten great and he's combining that with his inner Kane.
Kaz vs. Lethal was a great match
Anderson vs. Abyss, great match
Then seeing Lethal's brother get his head kicked in was pretty funny
Solid, TNA! Keep it up
