I actually surfed through to set a recording for the Saturday replay and they are having a UFC marathon tonight

I watched some of the promos on youtube and it does seem like an interesting storyline. There is nothing set in stone as far as who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Each fan has to make their own decision and I like that.

Wow! Impact was awesome tonight! Naitch you were right, that storyline is friggen awesome. I'm so glad you told me to watch it. The respect angle ties into the entire show too. It's like they are mostly faces playing tweener roles. Joe's promo was awesome and heartfelt with the blood, sweat, and tears. Then Sting cut an awesome promo with great points about always respecting and listening to the greats in the business that paved the way.
One of my favorite parts was when Sabin shook Christian and AJ's hands and then Shelly mocked AJ and gave Christian the finger, proving that Sting is right about the respect thing. Meanwhile, it was AJ's team that Shelly started beefing with! Then Christian seemed to start turning directions in their promo afterwards. It's such a deep twisty storyline. This angle looks like it's going to be the best angle TNA ever had. I was actually entertained the entire show from beginning to end and that never happens for me with TNA.

Tonight is when it really kicked off man. I like how no one isn't doing anything really out of character. Shelley doesn't respect anyone and Lethal probably really does idolize Macho Man. The weak spot of the shot was defiantly anything with Kip James in it.

Yeah what the fuck is up with him? Is he being a gay women's supporter or is he dating Velvet Sky? Either way he sucks
Like you said, that's one of the things I love about this feud, no one is changing their character or gimmick. Joe came out like regular face Joe cutting a personal promo on Sting and the veterans, and then Sting came out as typical Sting and cut a face promo on Joe. Shelly was always a wiseass and instead of making him choose a side they just kept him being a wiseass by disrespecting Christian and AJ and then Christian cuts a "veteran" type promo on AJ later in the night, which wouldn't put him on the same side as Shelly but opposing AJ for the complete opposite reasons as Shelly, even though Christian thinks Shelly is "disrespectful". Even heel Booker chose a side. It's so hard to just take a side as opposed to just watching and enjoying the entire show unfold. That was even a twist when Jarrett told Sting he was full of crap. The whole storyline had like 5 swerves in one night. Finally TNA is truly on to something. I actually can't wait to see it next week now, whereas I used to just watch it to fill a wrestling gap from Tuesday - Friday. Now I have the recordings all set to go for TNA every week like the WWE programming

Jeff wasn't really a suprise. Sting has had bats come down from the ceiling to guys like Booker T and Jeff has had guitars come down to guys like Joe. You just started watching on the why as opposed to the when.
I mean Jeff being grateful to guys like AJ and Joe for keeping his company alive isn't a surprise but it actually was one. I guess Russo gets a cookie.
As far as Kip James, one day he just started hanging out with Velvet and Angelina. For no reason.

TNA has been a little slow the past two weeks. That first week I saw it again was awesome. But I'm already getting sick of Jarrett and Angle

Me too man. This angle has so much promise and TNA loves long feuds so I'll stick with it.

Where has big Kev been? I thought he was supposed to be apart of this angle.
Sting and Joe have been keeping my attention. They're both cutting great promos and making you see both sides and seeing where they're both right
I like the AJ/Booker/Christian dance too because you've got Booker who's totally behind Sting even though he's a heel. Then you have AJ who's on Joe's side. Then there's Christian who is totally on the fence. Christian is the perfect guy for that role too because you can say he paid his veteran dues but you can still say he's a young athlete busting his ass to make TNA a great company.
Kurt's a flat out asshole so his opinion doesn't really matter. Jarrett of course is going to support the company he founded. Now throwing Foley into the mix and saying HE'S the new best acquisition in TNA is just flat out lame since everyone knows he's far retired. So that little feud is getting stale fast for me and I'm already over the fact that Foley is there. In other words I couldn't care less
I'm also enjoying the younger guys especially the MCMGs. Sabin seems to be more like the type of guy Joe and AJ are talking about with busting his ass for TNA and Shelly is clearly the disrespectful asshole Sting is talking about.
It's definitely a great overall angle
Booker was histerical the other night when he was trying to convince Christian
Booker: you better watch who you are talking too
AJ: I know exactly who I'm talking to, a washed up has been who needs to get out of my face!
Booker: You see how he's talking to you Christian? LOL

I'm not sure where Nash has been man but I read the PPV results last night and he clobbered Joe with a bat so Sting could win the title.

I read the results, too. Sting wins the title for the third straight year, that's bullshit. Joe did suck as Champ, though.

I'm glad Nash is back though. He's the kind of guy that's always been enjoyable to have around after his Diesel championship days

I've really liked all his mic time since TNA started. His charisma has helped a lot of people.

The good thing is we should see him back tomorrow night. I didn't read the spoilers but I can't imagine him not being there after playing such a huge part in the main event

I'm looking forward to TNA tonight. I zipped through the spoilers to see if it's worth watching. I think it looks good tonight. From what I read Kurt Angle is going to be annoying yet again tonight
