I had to laugh at Gail laughing at Madison having to face Velvet like that was a big deal. Madison out-Diva-Finishing Velvet amused me too.
Hey, Crimson, if you are undefeated, then how come you don't have that tag title any more? They're not even bothering to qualify it with a "in singles competition". Stupid company.
Mickie vs Gail was a fun match. So we're getting two KO matches a week now? Isn't Sarita in line for a push again? I miss her killing all the skanks.
I appreciate them putting a 5-minute time limit on our endurance of Bischoff Jr.
Daniels walked straight up to Anderson backstage and pointed out the stupidity of the plot. I guess we shouldn't be surprised that Taz doesn't know what the Stockholm Syndrome is. You'll never hear Champ call Taz a smart man. I do like that we have an explanation for Kazarian's curious change of tact last week. Whether it holds up over the next few weeks is another question (see: Love, Angelina).
I'd give this week's episode a solid B. I can't say it was a blowaway show, but it kept me entertained and some of the matches were decent.

I must have missed that part. Or is that they think Kazarian has Stockholm Syndrome? Hmmm... Yeah, it was an OK show. Mickie vs Gail was probably the best match of the night. Gunner got a bit twitchy when Abyss questioned him about Abyss' disappearance. So I'm gonna assume Gunner is completely innocent.

I don't think they would have blahed about Stockholm Syndrome so much if they didn't want us think that was the reason. Stockholm Syndrome would be an interesting angle for someone other than Kazarian. Gunner got a bit twitchy when Abyss questioned him about Abyss' disappearance. So I'm gonna assume Gunner is completely innocent. Yeah. Pretty much. On the other hand Velvet Skye acted completely innocent about it last week. It must be her.

Champ and I saw that main event and WTF. TNA always has the most awful main event finishes. I was just about to say Lagana and Brother Love had fixed TNA booking and then this stinker of a finish. Roode bullying Sting and Dixie was so unrehearsed and clunky also.
The rest of the show was really good though.

The ending was a bit dumb. It never helps having Dixie involved because she is so terrible. Sting totally bischoffed his finisher, lol.
Kurt vs Jeff was a good match.
I also enjoyed Aries vs Ion. It seemed they were toying with the idea of turning Aries face during that match. Or maybe he just adopted the role as he was facing another heel.
D-Von winning the TV title made me wonder if they are rewarding him with a singles title before Bully Ray goes on and wins the world title.

Did V, MS, SM, or myself ever mention that TNA is stupid? Because TNA is.....ahh fuck it

I would dearly love to believe Dixie when she said her place wasn't in front of the camera. Or whatever it was she said. The opening yakfest went on so long a lot of it is a blur of words.

What, did all the wrestlers, referees, agents and other employees of TNA just go home before the Main Event of the PPV finished? Or did they all sit back and watch their supposedly beloved boss get humiliated? Just you watch them turn Dixie heel now. God, she even has entrance music.
Yeah, let's make Hogan the GM. Nothing can possibly go wrong with that like last time.
Kash escaped from Daffney's Prison. Aries mock-yawning on his way to the ring was gold. See, Aries came in and boasted about how awesome he is. Then over the next 6 months he PROVED how awesome he is. He backs it up, thus, he's a face. Great (long term! shocker!) booking.
Anarqqia escaped from Daffney's Prison! I forgot how much I liked that dude. Who the hell is that guy? It's Josh From Repo Games! You might think I'd think this was stupid, but I always like it when wrestling companies push the idea that wrestlers win MONEY by winning their matches in this fake sport. So I liked that Mexican America had additional incentive. Repo Guy walking off with the women made me roll my eyes though. Also, please wear that ring gear again, Sarita. Holy shit.
Storm asking for, and winning, handicap matches is getting old quick.
I would give this week's episode a C+, but there were extra helpings of Sarita, so it gets bumped up to a B.

Yeah, the ending to that PPV was pretty stupid. TNA seems to be trying to outstupid the previous PPV ending every month.
That Repo Guy. I'm guessing he has a show where he hijacks peoples' cars and plays with them by asking them general knowledge questions where, if they answer incorrectly, he takes their car away and demands money for its safe return or else he destroys it. He sounds like such a face. And yeah, Sarita and Rosita going off with him kinda pissed me off too, lol. That bastard. I hate him.
They are over-pushing Storm right now. He's going to have the crowd right behind him at the PPV anyway as they are in his home town of Bumfucky, Kentucky. So they should relax his push a little.
Yep. Aries is awesome.

"I trust Sting implicitly, I always have". That's right everyone, something stupid happened within the first three seconds of Impact this week. She sure as fuck didn't trust Sting when he was right about Hogan & Bischoff being up to no good, and she lost her damn company because of it. I mean, I know wrestling companies expect us to forget little continuity flaws, but that was a pretty big plot point in one their biggest angles of the last few years.
Oh, and I ffwd' Dixie's meeting with Hogan. Don't have time for that nonsense.
Oh hey, James Storm asking for another handicap match. I'm getting really fed up with this now. And I ain't buying it. I'm getting this weird feeling that Roode is retaining at the PPV (which would be ironic given how he didn't win as a face at BFG). Perhaps they could do an injury angle and write Storm off for a few months?
Why the heck was Kristy standing in the audience to introduce that one match? You know, it was funny last year on Smackdown when Christian - a heel - whined and whined about rematches, whereas Randy Orton - a face - said he wasn't going to beg for a rematch, he was just going to win his way to the top again. This is a roundabout way of me saying that Velvet Sky sucks.
I had to laugh at the way the camera panned from the Wedding Planner going through some brochures, up to the Wedding Planner's tits, and lingered there before panning up to her face. And I think it happened more than once.
Loved Aries' promo. He sucked up to Storm just a little too much, but that's a minor quibble. Aries would be a good choice to end "the streak".
All that guff at the end over a fricking General Manager. Bring back the laptop, I say.
Man, I can't remember any of the matches being very good this week? Velvet even did that stupid knee-to-the-forehead move again in her match.
D+

Yeah there was a lot of backwardass stupidity in this week's Impact.
The thing that impressed me the most was that they remembered Velvet never got a Knockout's rematch for the title, because I even forgot about that one, because I don't give a shit. But credit to those retards for actually remembering something past 3 months ago.
But this whole Dixie/Sting/Hogan thing coming around in full circle really is a simple example to how dumb this company really is. I mean really? Now Dixie, Hogan, and Sting are having a 3 way after all the bullshit? And yeah, Dixie's always trusted Sting! But she trusted Bischoff and Hogan first
My favorite moment was the wedding stuff with Eric and ODB. It seems like Eric Young is the only thing they really seem to get right consistently

When I was watching last week's show I thought they were away to show James Storm's music video seeing as they were talking about it constantly, so when they mentioned that all the hype was for its debut the following week, I thought, "Good, I won't need to get up right now and fast forward this." They caught me off guard this week and showed it and I couldn't be bothered getting up to skip it so I watched it. And God Damn, what a turd it was. I'm assuming you guys had better sense than me and actually dodged it, so congratulations on making the right choice. And what was up with him training in a treehouse? They are giving him the full Kickboxer treatment with this push. Training in the rain in the wilderness, getting drunk in bars to bad music, getting in bar fights and beating up on numerous people at the same time, getting the girl, bad acting, etc. If this wasn't TNA I would be 100% confident of him beating Tong Po at Lockdown, but this is TNA and I'm 95% sure Roode is winning.
Aries officially turning face was cool. If Bully Ray wins the title from Storm a few months down the line, they should put Aries up against him in a world title feud.
Jeff needs to stop doing that stuff with the eyes. It's annoying. At least Kurt Angle being out of his tree is making the feud somewhat funny.
Gail and Velvet making up was nice.
Matt Morgan sucks. There is no more to be said. He just sucks.
I hope I'm wrong, but I'm thinking ODB is going to be nutshotting Eric Young at their wedding.
Dixie has a fuzzy face. The whole Hogan, Sting, Dixie thing hurts my head too. I'm also sick of these drawn out angles in TNA where it will take numerous segments on each show and span two or more weeks before we get to the point that could have be gotten to in about five minutes.
I agree, not the best of shows this week.

Yeah I skipped the whole music video shebang last week. Gail and Velvet making up was nice. Oops Why does Hogan give a shit if Angle lost by countout? A countout victory is still a victory in this fake sport. There was no title on the line. Hardy won. Good match. Oh hey, Angelina and Winter are no longer a thing, apparently. Have I mentioned recently that TNA is stupid? Because TNA is stupid. I'm sure a Velvet Skye cage match is going to put Undertaker/HHH to shame. KISS were at the American Country Awards? what? Have I mentioned recently that real life is stupid? Because real life is stupid. Given the pre-match deal, I think it would have been better if Storm had won with something other than the superkick. Still: terrific match. Roode doesn't drink beer because he's an athlete, see. Quality heeling. Oh god. Team Garrett is going to win, and the week after Derrick Kishoff (or Guy Incognito) is going to debut. As soon as Hogan blahed that bizarre additional stipulation about Bischoff's name I saw right through it. Man, that tag match was a fun little match too. I'm glad they didn't just have the MCMG squash Mexican America, which they would have been within their right to. A-

Gail and Velvet making up was nice. Oops Oh, I'm getting ahead of myself. I travelled into the future recently and watched an episode of Impact where, after initially aligning as a power couple after a shocking Velvet heel turn, Gail and Velvet had split up after disagreements over who should be the Knockout champion. After a quite heated feud between the two, things settled down and after a while they became friends again. Don't worry, it will all make sense in three weeks. I'm pissed off with this Hogan GM stuff already. It's like the tenth new, and ultimately false, dawn they've had in TNA in the last two years since he arrived. We all know this one is going to end up being eclipsed by the big moon of shit like the rest of them. Yeah, so all of a sudden Angelina and Winter don't like each other. You know what, is their a second weekly TNA show that none of us has ever heard of where stuff like this goes down? Maybe they had a split that made perfect sense, but we've just never seen it happen because we aren't aware of TNA Thunder and Crack-Piping, every Satday at 10.00 on Spike. The stipulation for the Bischoffs' match is so stupid that I don't even know what it is about. Something about the name Bischoff. Please don't even try to explain it, I don't want to know, lol. Ah... Apparently the name Bischoff is German. Germany might have started two world wars but spawning the Bischoffs, in my book at least, is their most atrocious act to be committed on the rest of the world. I wasn't keen on Aries getting totally pwned by Bully Ray at first, but I'm hoping they are going to take the feud slowly and have Aries gradually win the crowd over as a face and eventually get the better of Bully Ray. Taz from last week, "Montomery Gentry, I love that guy!". Montgomery and Gentry are two completely different people. What's that Champ? At least Bobby Roode stealing his (one of them) hat was funny. The show was decent, but I'm fed up with Dixie, Hogan, Bischoff, etc so that stuff put a bit of a damper on it for me.

Don't worry, it will all make sense in three weeks. I knew that punchline was coming and I yet still laughed at it. It is ridiculous that an 18-month angle gets no blow-off. Meanwhile Eric Young is going to marry ODB a couple of months after they started dating (if he can pull himself away from drafting his fantasy baseball team). I still think Wrestling Lost should just go "fuck it" and ACTUALLY copy "Lost" and have flashsideways and combinations of numbers that mean nothing and polar bears wandering around in the background of the Impact Zone's labyrinth of backstage passageways. I can already picture Magnus and Joe talking about their next match with an unexploded nuclear bomb in the background which nobody makes any mention of. It's supposed to be a Loser Leaves Town Match. But we know neither of them are going anywhere. That's why we get a RIDICULOUS stipulation to give them a loophole rather than just, you know, NOT HAVE THE FUCKING LOSER LEAVES TOWN STIPULATION IN THE FIRST PLACE. God, this company can be so goddam stupid.
