Oh I forgot that snitsky was "undefeated" when he returned as the bald sweaty baby. Lol but I'm actually going to have to watch that episode of impact now. I didn't see lashley win the title because, well, I don't give a shit

Without giving anything away from the 36 episodes they have taped recently, I think we better enjoy Snitsky while we can, it doesn't look like he's going to be around very long.

The funniest part of reading all those spoilers is that on one of the episodes (I am not spoiling anything below): followed by 6 weeks of TNA being TNA seriously, they've taped all the way up to August 14th A few years back I wanted to see "I Can't Be Bothered With This Shit" Snitsky. Essentially, Snitsky coming down every time something crackpipey was happening to sort shit out. Angle: "tonight we are going to have a World Title match!" crowd cheers "And the stipulation is - " < Snitsky's music immediately hits and he comes stomping down to the ring, standing right in front of Angle, glowering > "...um...er...actually it's just going to be a regular one-fall-to-a-finish match" < Snitsky looks at Angle suspiciously, finally starts walking away > "And your special guest timekeeper - " < Snitsky punts Angle's head off > Such a missed opportunity EDIT - Man, the search function in this latest version of the board software is AWESOME. Let's all take a trip back in the waaaaayyyyback (6 years!) machine: Yeah, that's true. Schivone - "Ric Flair, bleeding heavily, is still alive in this first blood match. The first man to bleed will win the world title. Flair's rolled him up! 1! 2! 3! Ric Flair is world champion again! This is inc... oh no, here comes Snitsky!" Heenan - "Everybody duck!"

Has anyone actually watched any of these recent Impacts? I'll check out Snitsky when he's back, but otherwise I don't know what can entice me back at this point.

No I can't even get through these shows anymore to be honest. I start watching when I'm bored and I start doing something else or go on my phone. It's bad. This show completely sucks. I don't know how they're still in business

I've been sort of watching. I'll have it on but usually I end up doing other things while the show is on, but I'm catching enough of it to let you know that things haven't really got that much better recently.
I doubt it is intentional, but the Menagerie angle can be interpreted as being quite meta the longer it goes on. Knux and his sister/girlfriend/whatever are attempting to draw interest with their antics and make money to save their failing business, but the best they can offer is a masked freak who is all sizzle and no steak, and a clown that gives the wrestling fans exactly what they want, that being lots of colourful balloons and matches ending in DQ when the ref gets pantsed.

The NYC show last week was pretty good, at least compared to recent shows. I couldn't enjoy it too much though seeing as you guys have hinted that their rebirth crawls back into the crack of insanity with a quickness over the next few weeks. In fact, the middle of the show was fine, but it was bookended by another ECW reunion and Dixie blahing about something, so it really was the same old stuff again.

I just can't deal with this whole not moving forward shit with this company. They don't know how to grow anything. They just keep recycling the same shit over and over. Impact on Thursday felt like a wwecw event. This show pisses me off so much I have a hard time appreciating them doing anything halfway decent.

Yeah, it is annoying how they make the same mistakes over and over. They've had a seed that has been able to grow for over a decade now and instead giving it some water and letting it grow bigger and stronger over time, they instead keep dumping huge piles of crap on it and hope it will miraculously grow into a mighty oak overnight. TNA's management seem to have the same level of intellect as the President's cabinet from Idiocracy. I didn't mind the start too much as they might have felt they would need to appease the audience that was likely made up of older fans familiar with ECW, but by the end of the show they had reverted back to Dixie and Bully playing their game of Tom and Jerry. Hopefully once Dixie finally goes through a table that is the end of it all and they can move on to something completely different.

We're already halfway through the year and TNA has only had 3 authority figures. We're due 2 or 3 more any week soon.
Apparently they're not doing the Bound For Glory Series this year either. Can't have all that wrestling getting in the way of the wrestling company show.

Sadly, That's the best reason for them not doing the BFG series too. WTF is wrong with this company? They have nothing going for them and the one thing they actually started building some decent history with was the BFG series. So they stop doing. That, in a nutshell, is Why TNA CAN'T succeed

I watched the second half of this week's episode, and I somewhat liked what I saw (trimming Impact down to 40 minutes like this helps a lot). Aries gave a great promo. I don't know why they didn't just bring in MVP as a manager in the first place rather than go through the authority figure routine. The whole Muta / Sanada / Storm thing was actually a well-executed heel turn. Dixie has obviously got a new wardrobe stylist, she was looking great. And Snitsky chokeslammed Bully Ray.
I might tune in for the 2nd half of next week's show now

Matts still a tool but I'm also not opposed to seeing one more hardy boy tag title run. Jeff makes Matt so much better lol. But when Matt is in the right situation he can deliver in the ring too. I think this could be good for both Hardys because Jeff really hit a fucking wall lately and Matt has had a lot of time away
What happens next?
Tune in this Thursday for TNEcw
