IMO, Eric Young is still 10 times more entertaining than Santino. I almost wish TNA and WWE could swap them along with their gimmicks. I say that because I can see Eric Young going to WWE and they stupidly repackage him anyway. And TNA would immediately put the World title on Santino. So maybe it's not such a good idea afterall. I take it all back

I could watch Joe and Magnus wrecking the *Ho Ho Ho* Gay Giants all day long.
Taz isn't a smart man, but he absolutely loves Eric Young. He constantly snigggers throughout his matches.
I'm thinking Son of Bischoff's trainer is Mr Anderson. *shrugs*
With the main event picture getting a bit cluttered, I would love to see them set up a four way title match and for Bully Ray to sneak out as champion. I get the feeling though that they are intending on keeping Roode as champion for a few months more, at least.

Who is Garrett Bischoff's trainer? Only Eric Bischoff knows! Garrett's trainer is here tonight to confront Bischoff later!
By the Way, tonight marks the return of Hulk Hogan to Impact!
And, we'll find out who Garrett's trainer is!
Also, as we mentioned, it's the return of Hulk Hogan later tonight
*later on*
Garrett's trainer is Hulk Hogan! What are the odds?
Did V ever mention that TNA is stupid? Because TNA is really fucking stupid

It's also kind of sad (and stupid) that they had a white-hot crowd and subjected them to TWO segments of Bischoff vs Bischoff. Save that shit for the idiots at the Impact Zone.
I can't remember watching a show from either promotion with a crowd as raucous as that in a long time. That was something. They should do a few more shows in London later in the year if they can. It probably pushed this episode up to "best ever" territory, but it is funny and depressing that on one of their best episodes they still do really dumb shit like Bischoff Jr.
England booing the almighty hell out of Matt Morgan brought a tear to my eye, ese.
Aries kicking Haskins in the head after he botched the SSP was some AMAZING heeling.
Booking two James Storm matches didn't do it for me. Sting wielding a cricket bat was a nice touch. Man, this push happened for Tara at exactly the right time for her - that was probably the 2nd best heat she's ever had (1st being when she spazzed out at the bikini contest all those years ago).
uh... so Crimson's streak is over, right?
Right?

Lol. How hard would it have been to have Garrett just tell Bischoff that he will reveal his trainer to him on his own watch and when he least expects it, or something like that. Yeah... stupid.
I remember Tenay blabbering a while back that even though Crimson lost in a tag match he was still "undefeated as a singles competitor". So, by TNA's logic, he is still undefeated. He can probably lose a hundred times in a row and TNA would still find a way to call him undefeated.
The crowd were really good and definitely helped make the show more enjoyable. I also liked how the production was edgier and had a more raw look to it. Everything doesn't have to be perfect all the time, especially in wrestling. I did feel sorry for the fans after a while though because it seemed that TNA had only brought about a dozen wrestlers over for the show. They got a double dose of James Storm. Roode, Bully Ray, Storm and Sting all throughout the show. Double BbIiSsCcHhOoFfFf. Fucking hell, have mercy! And the deafening "We want E.Y." chants went unanswered. Even though they lapped everything up, I just felt a bit deflated about halfway through when the same guys kept coming back out. And for all the weeks to pick to have a Bischoff Show, they picked that week. Bah.
Don't get me wrong, it was a decent show, I just feel they could have had a really excellent show with a little bit more variety. The best part was Aries vs that guy with a broken neck. Aries looked like a bad motherfucker in that match.
Matt Morgan getting booed was funny. It would probably happen more often if they left the Impact Zone. The same fans are there every week and I think some of them are even plants who get told who to cheer and boo for.
I think they said the show is from London again next week. I also think Mike Tenay said it is a Star Wars show. Whatever the hell that is. Don't even want to think about...

He can probably lose a hundred times in a row and TNA would still find a way to call him undefeated. They could have had him lose a bunch of tag matches in the Bound For Glory Series then. But they didn't. Yeah, I'm looking forward to the dumb explanation they're going to give. There have been a few moments like that lately. Gail Kim killing Traci with a kick out of nowhere a few weeks ago comes to mind. Also if they go every week they're probably going to get quite familiar with the people there and develop a rapport even. And then they won't really want to boo them or really get excited about them in general.

I liked the production on that show too. The actual show itself did nothing for me though

And, we'll find out who Garrett's trainer is! If it was always going to be as absurd as it turned out they should have used the revelation to pay homage to that old South Park episode where Cartman is about to find out who his father is. Remember? ![](http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a134/RandyMarsh/sp113cartmansmom.jpg) Who is Eehc Cahtmaan's fatha?! Is it Chef? Is it Chief Running Water? Is it Mr Garrison (No, he's gay!) Is it Mephesto? Or the little monkey guy that follows him around? Instead of all that though, they should have just went with: Who is Gahht Bischoff's trainah? Is it Hulk Hogan? Yes.

I guess we should be thankful they didn't swerve us and have Garett Bischoff be Hulk Hogan's trainer.
TNA's "Star Wars" episode was basically a normal episode of Impact with no Star Wars involvement. You'd think I would think that was stupid, but I really don't give a shit about Star Wars, so I was okay with that. And I can just skip the Network Blowjob Ad and tune out Taz and Tenay's shilling.
Sting is such a great face.
You'd think I might think that having yet another Christopher Daniels vs AJ Styles match might be stupid, but these two always put on interesting matches, and they do seem to limit it to once every couple of months or so. The only bad match I can remember between them was at Bound For Glory. You know, TNA's biggest event of the year. Funny that.
I can't believe they would be stupid enough to turn Mickie James heel, but she's rapidly approaching the 18-month mark without a turn. Velvet does a shitty knee-to-the-forehead move where the opponent's forehead doesn't come within a metre of her knee. And she won with the Diva Finish. I really fucking violently dislike Velvet Sky.
Speaking of turns, I do like that they had to do a double-turn with Magnoe and Crimgan because the crowd demanded it.
Storm's music is completely terrible.
oh, and Hulk Hogan promised to "put an end to Eric Bischoff's demise".
Have I mentioned recently that TNA is stupid? Because TNA is stupid. That was a 45-second backstage vignette. Why the hell didn't they just reshoot it?

It was another decent show, but the overpowering stench of Bischoff really sours my enjoyment. Hulk Hogan stood there in the middle of the ring and told all his fans to transfer their adulation over to some rat who has had about two matches and to recognise him as the "future of the business". I almost can't believe this shit.
Is it just me, or is Gail Kim a million times hotter in TNA?
I could have done without Samoa Joe's constant tough guy mugging, but Magnus cut a good promo. I expect the gay giants to be back as the faces when they return to the Impact Zone though.
Austin Aries is so awesome. I just hope that this feud with Shelley gets some real steam behind it and runs for a while.
It's going to suck next week when they are back to the Impact Zone.
I don't mind James Storm's theme. It's kinda catchy.

LOL you can't put ANYTHING past this stupid company
Oh we can't have that. She has to turn heel ASAP! It's not shocking enough if she stays face!
I did not catch that. So wait, *scratches head*, does that mean Hogan's going to keep Eric alive forever? Oh God the humanity!
And this is why TNA doesn't stand a chance in hell at competing with the WWE. If TNA had any brains, Jeff Hardy would be their world champion and main eventing every Impact. Nothing against Roode but, not many people in this world know who Bobby Roode is. but the majority of people in this world do know who Jeff Hardy is. It's just a simple correct business move to me. And Christ, who the fuck knows who Garrett Bischoff is, unless you're one of the 700,000 people who's seen TNA in the last few months? If you haven't seen TNA in the last few months but have in the past year, you just may know who Jackson James is though!
They need to let Shelley work against Aries with the edge he knows how to bring. If he's just a random face, it won't live up to it's potential. I'm saying this as if Shelley won't be a distant memory next month as it is

Is it just me, or is Gail Kim a million times hotter in TNA? How about [ NSFW] here? [ NSFW] I think I'm just starting to tire of him in general. It's like they made his "cowboy" thing his only defining trait, and they've smoothed off all the edges. As with his music. If he's "Johnny Cash-listening" then why not come out to Johnny Cash Johnny Cash's Non-Union Mexican Equivalent? I think they're waiting to make sure he doesn't fuck up yet again. I don't actually blame them for putting him on probation for a while. He has been prominently featured. I guess I forgot to mention that having her job to Velvet Sky at all is dumb. This is a woman who beat 2/3rds of the roster in a single match a few months ago. If it was anyone other than Velvet I would also mention how out-of-the-blue Mickie's heeling was in that match, but Velvet does have a habit of making people hate her. If Sarita's turn is an indication, then the week after Mickie declining a handshake, she'll be piledriving Velvet onto the concrete. The spectre of John Morrison looms on the horizon

I'm still not sure if he is just laying low for a while before going back to the WWE. They have made James Storm a little blander. He maybe needs a new storyline to get things started again.

One other thing I realised about Gail Kim recently was her finisher is called 'Eat Defeat', and not, as I originally thought, 'Eat Da Feet'. Or is it that? It's a dumb name if it is.
