Just finished last weeks Imapact and read your comments and will try to point out so obvious dumbassery that you guys seemed to have over looked. Its TNA though, over looking stuff is pretty easy. And I overlooked Velvet Sky's dumbness so I'm in no position to call anyone out.
-45 minutes + promo= fast forward
-So no one caught on that Garrett Bischoff was a Bischoff? All that time, in locker rooms changing and stuff, with a bright tat that said Bischoff on it? Not even Sting, an old WCW guy?
-James Storm was a little quick to be giving that title away wasn't he?
-Gunner was a little on the eager side to face Abyss.
-Six minutes of wrestling in two hours. Because you know, WRESTLING MATTERS.

Let Professor FanWank theorise those issues away for you I can't actually remember the last time I watched a Raw/SD/Impact live. Fortunately they are available by legal means the following day without commercial breaks. Thus a 45 minute promo only actually takes 20-25 minutes of one's actual time. This is time one can use to surf the web, check e-mail etc while listening to the show, as watching these promos is an optional extra. Do you think anyone voluntarily hangs out with Bischoff? Hangs out with any Bischoff? Maybe he was drunk. You'll never hear Champ - or anyone - call Gunner a smart man. Oh, er... LALALALALALALA...

Regarding you Bischoff V, he wasn't going by Bischoff he was going by Jackson Something or Something Jackson, I can't be assed to remember.
Lets not forget the heels went through a phase of kicking the shit out of him as well. And dad did nothing to protect him. Eric also fails as a father.

Whoa, that fanwank made my eyes roll into the back of my head. That actually makes sense, lol. He was just wasted.
Speaking of Bischoff's son. His name is Garrett. Bischoff can't even name his child without fucking it up. And he looked like a tit standing there like a tough guy.

Jackson James
I wonder if the wrestlers ever saw him getting dressed backstage and saw Bischoff on his chest. They probably thought he was just the world's dumbest mark

Sting is the perfect Authority Figure. He comes out, gets straight to the point, and buggers off again. Seriously, I applaud concision in wrestling. Even if Joe getting a #1 contender shot was really dumb.
All Traci had to do was hold the ropes open and she bischoffed that. Against my expectation, I thought Gail did a good job with her new heel persona. Like, a really good job. The match was pretty good too, although the ending was abrupt.
Typical how they changed the name to "TV Title" and then proceeded to have the title hardly ever defended on TV. Have I mentioned recently that TNA is stupid? Because TNA is stupid.
The two obviously planted female "fans" in the front row made me laugh. Who the hell goes to a wrestling show dressed like them?
Good god, I can't believe they're trying to make Bischoff's kid a thing. I FFWDed the first showdown. And then they do another segment to close the show? WTF? They only have 2 hours a week to feature their roster and they already waste enough of their precious time on Bischoff Sr. God, this company.
You have to admire Eric Young's noble attempt at selling "Ronnie from Jersey Shore" being a big deal. The amount of stupid on this show is starting to bug me again.

I was also really impressed by Gail Kim. Good promo, good match and she was looking hot.
I can't remember the last time Eric Young actually had a match before this week. It was short and sweet, but at least he will be on the show again next week.
Those female "fans" are at the show every bloody week. They are usually front and centre and there are about four of them. I think they plant dozens of fans at every shows. I saw a video that someone took at the show when James Storm won the title and the crowd sucks. They must add in about 90% of the pops for the TV shows because even Storm winning the title got no more than a golf clap. I actually felt quite bad for them realising they have to go out there all the time and perform with such limited reactions and energy in the arena.
The stuff with the Bischoffs left me in disbelief. This is TNA and after years of watching, nothing should be able to do that now, but that crap really took the biscuit. Do they really think that a second segment with Eric Bischoff and his homosexual son is the big hook to keep the audience watching until the end of the show? Wouldn't a bigger incentive be to find out who the number one contender for the World title is going to be? Uuurrrrrrrgh! Are the people running this show really that stupid and/or egotistical? The show started with James Storm's celebratory intro and promo about how it is his turn and the turn of the younger, loyal wrestlers who have been shunned for so long. Then it ends with the second act of Eric Bischoff and Mr Garrettson, only this time with Ric Flair and a nut shot.
Every time you think TNA might be going in the right direction, they promptly mess it up.

I 3rd that with Gail Kim. She was really good. probably the ONLY thing TNA does right is show the world how much better some of these female wrestlers are than WWE cares to showcase. The knockouts division is so much better than the divas. WWE should really have their own divas eps every week. It's such a waste
It's amazing how they expect us to give such a shit about Bischoff's kid. Even worse, they expect us to still give a shit about Eric Bischoff

Even worse, they expect us to still give a shit about Eric Bischoff I just want Snitsky to run down and punt both of them in the face. I wonder how all of TNA's under-used talent feel about Bischoff's kid getting a push and a big chunk of TV time.

I wonder how all of TNA's under-used talent feel about Bischoff's kid getting a push and a big chunk of TV time. It's almost unbelievable. I'm not just asking this as a way to bash Bischoff, but have fans ever given a crap about Eric Bischoff? Sure, I got a good laugh at him constantly putting his foot in it in the WWE, but that was it. What has he ever done to warrant two long segments during a show where there is a new world champion, including the final segment, while the title angle gets bumped into the shadow? I just don't get it. Sometimes I see articles about Bischoff where he tries to spin TNA's failings into some sort of glorious success that we fans simply can't understand. I'd love to see what he has to say about this steamiest of turds. Where the hell has Alex Shelley been for the last four months? Facking boolshet.

It's funny because I was literally asking myself the same thing after I wrote the line us expecting to still give a shit about Bischoff. I started thinking, when were we EVER supposed to give a shit about Bischoff? To me, "Bischoff heat" is more like, "this show and this segment sucks, let's change the channel" heat. It's the kind of heat that loses ratings, in other words like, get the fuck off my tv because there's NOTHING important about you that I need to see yet another fucking "big" angle built off of to close the show. I've always saw Bischoff as a guy who had a few good years because he was spending a billionaire's money. Other then that, he's added nothing to wrestling tv unless Vince McMahon was making a complete ass of him. So, yes MS, I totally know what you mean

Yeah, it's bloody ridiculous.
I hope this week's show is more "Wrestling Matters" instead of "Bischoff Matters".

Just saw Impact last night
If Sting is the boss of Impact why does he allow Karen to bias the Knockout division, and why does he let her abuse Traci?
Why does Sting allow Immortal to kick Jeff and Asshole's ass so badly?
Roode's Heel turn was the worst pulled off one I have ever seen. One minute they are brothers then he says fuck it I will just bust a beer bottle over his skull and put my foot on him to pose with the belt.
Very random, awkward and TNA-ish.
