Reading the spoilers for the next two weeks made me sigh and shake my head and mutter "God, this company".
---spoilers below if you care---
So after all that, Angelina Love wins the KO belt after all. Stupid company. And then they have RVD vacate the World Title rather than have him job it to someone who could use a boost. It's unbelievable how they treat their titles like complete shit. Is it really that fucking hard to have titles decided by one man beating another the majority of the time? Can't they just go from A to B and let their performers carry the story (like they did with Beer Money vs MCMG) rather than going from A to B via C, D, E, F, G, H, E, D, D again, F, G, C and D? One thing I was struck by on Raw this week was what a great job Randy Orton and Sheamus did conveying an extremely simple angle, to the point where I'm really interested in seeing that match.

It really is ridiculous. The sad part is RVD is taking time off. He's not really even injured. Fuckin lame

hahaha oh god, I hate Shannon Moore so very much. He wanted to show he was on the same level as Jeff... by stumbling through his shitty little promo.
Sometimes even I forget that Jeff Hardy is on this show.
and oh hey a Knockouts title being overshadowed by shenanigans, how new and shocking
At least the Tag Title match delivered and then some.

It was funny how Angelina won the Knockouts title and suddenly it was like, "here we go to a break!"
I'm very surprised they're pushing the Machine Guns like this. I figured Hogan definitely would have had the titles on Beer Money by the end of this series the latest. It's great to see Shelly and Sabin getting a well deserved break
And a$sholes, everyone knows the biker woman with the big ass helmet is Tara so please spare us and reveal her. They'll probably reveal the biker chick as Shark Boy and then Tara will just debut a week later like nothing happened. That's how dumb TNA is

It was funny how Angelina won the Knockouts title and suddenly it was like, "here we go to a break!" Yeah, I know. They been running TV for years now and they still can't get extremely basic things right. It really is quite aggravating to watch. I'd love to know how many title matches they've had this year, and how many of them ended with bullshitty finishes. I'm guessing it must be close to 100% with the Knockouts belts

Yeah! When someone wins a title, you can't set aside 2 minutes for the post match celebration? It really is very stupid

Watching the Knockouts division in general at the moment aggravates me. It's probably not helped by the fact that all the women I want to see aren't on the show most weeks (Hamada and Daffney wrestled on that "Xplosion" show. As did poor Desmond). The women on TNA are just props for the stupid plot twists they're doing. Every woman except LayCool and Maryse in WWE suck to some extent (and I'm including Melina in that statement), and even Maryse is stuck with Ted DiBiase. Women's wrestling is in a really shitty state right now.
Is it really asking too much to see at least one competently-written division of talented women wrestlers with interesting characters putting on competent matches? I mean, I know most fans don't give a shit about women's wrestling, but geez, do something worthwhile with them in the ten minutes you give them each week.

I think the stupidest part of Impact involved Shannon Moore and Mike Tenay. That stupid fucking shill for that lame Vampire movie. I don't remember the name of it, and I wouldn't have gotten the stupid reference (and won't now) but the way Tenay went on about what kind of awesome movie it is, I'm boycotting it for life. If I remember the name of it.

Dixie on the mic is like being sodomized. Not a lot of fun.

I will say, it's better than hearing Kelly Kelly on the mic. Trust me, that does not, in ANY way, back up Dixie in this situation

Oh dear god they're opening the show with Dixie Carter. What on Earth are they thinking? Why is everyone going on about how awesome Dixie Carter is? So fucking lame.
Sting and Nash are awesome. How the hell can you root against two guys who are trying to take down Bischoff and Hogan? Sting even called Hogan out! He's a hero! (related point: Jarrett is such a pussy.) It also cracked me up that Bischoff stood there yapping for 30 minutes while Hogan very very slowly sneaked up on Sting. I mean, it's not like Jarrett was having the life choked out of him or anything. No rush.
And god, this "Beautiful People Break-Up" is now officially the worst angle I've seen in wrestling since I... uh... came back from hiatus. How they can take such a simple concept (good-looking people taking the piss out of not-good-looking people) and make it so complicated and drawn-out and agonising and stupid is beyond me. It reminds me of Champ's "going to the supermarket" skit.
The Machine Guns match was pretty cool though.

I love heel Sting. He has that hungry look in his eyes, "I want HOGAN!" He just wants to make Hogan's life suck and it's great.
I can't stand Jarrett. I never liked Jarrett, not even in WWE. He's boring, he sucks, he's annoying.
I always liked Nash. There's always just been something cool about him his whole career, even though the Diesel era was boring
Velvet looked fuckin great last night though! Holy crap.
I also must say that Madison is really getting great on the mic. I never thought she had it in her

I didn't mind Jarrett until recently, when he became such a whiny pussy. If he cares so much about whatever the fuck it is he's trying to do (seriously, I have no idea why Sting and Nash are supposed to be such a heinous threat to TNA), you'd think he'd at least show some fire when he spoke to Joe. Instead he comes across as a trendy vicar, trying to settle everything with talking and being reasonable and shit.
Like I've said before, I like Velvet, but this Beautiful People crap just has to end right now. It's beyond done. Let it go. Give these girls something else to do. Taylor and Hamada won the tag titles a month ago (and where the FUCK is Sarita and that Taylor/Sarita feud?) and haven't been seen since.
