LOVING Velvets new out fit. They really need to get rid of that no mark robbie e and have rob terry tea up with someone who can actaully help his career because he is impressive in the rare ring time he has now.

How will BBC work then? Will we vote on who gets the contract? I mean think about wrestlings target audience and then look at 2 insanely hot 24 year old twins versus a nancy boy with a ridicolous name and another instantly forgetable nancy boy and tell me who will win.
Dixie decides methinks. Bryan Alvarez says he watched the first 4 episodes and it's a good show apparently.

Robbie T and Matt Morgan would be an ace tag team, both huge blokes, and they could both ditch their numpty partners.

The sheer technical ability of that pairing would just blow my mind.

I can't stand that Robbie E, should get rid of him tbh, bloody crap, and agree about Robbie T, that guys got potential, should use him more, not just have him coming down the ring carrying a flaming clipboard, and opening the rope for Robbie E to get through, its bloody pathetic, surely he can't like doing that.

Also can't stand that Joey Ryan and his poxy magnum tash, how on earth he got a contract god only knows.

This week get to see Velvet again

just seen who is behind the 13 promo videos, proof that TNA is more lost than ever.

You have 2 weeks showing these "mystery promos" then TNA decide to tell everyone that he's returning on the next promo video.

BOLD Oh hell yes!! agree 100%. must disagree with joey ryan though, as a character he is great, proper 90s throwback good for a laugh and great story potential. as for wrestling ability, i will wait for a while before i comment.

Would you rather they keep dragging it out as a big "mystery", only for it to be the return of someone who's been off TV for a couple of months? It would have been a big letdown IMO.

It probably would be considered a letdown.

However, from a ratings standpoint I think the mystery element actually might have meant something.

Agreed, TNA have gone backwards with ideas. Wrestling is in a depression mood at the minute but a mystery is better than been fed what is coming next.

Just waiting for Dixie to announce a big change in TNA like she normally does when TNA goes flat.

Big changes need to be:
Getting out of the Impact zone
Speeding up the pace of Impact
Stop the stupid backstage skits, why is the cameraman always behind something like he's hiding?
Improve the entrance music
Oh and get out the Impact zone!!!!!!

Would you prefer a normal view where the arena and millions of viewers worldwide all know what is going to happen apart from the one guy being talked about, who then gets jumped? Because THATS realistic!!!!!

Yes I would, there are ways of doing it, every backstage skit involves a cameraman "hiding" behind something, it's stupid to the extreme, they work for TNA and are on Impact, as a wrestler you'd expect and want a cameraman to film you, not have them lurking in the shadows like sneaks.

I must admit, I don't mind the "hiding" cameraman segments. I think they continue to add somewhat an element of realism to it rather than the two wrestlers having a "private conversation" with a camera right infront of them.

Personally, I would rather see more backstage and post match interviews ala Gene Okerlund from years gone by, the latter of which hasn't been done for a while, so it would seem fresh.

They should JB more often in his backstage role, as I just don't quite get him as a commentator.

Borash would be a good shout in the Okerlund role.

Rather than Cameramen, they should start a "TNA TV" have fixed camera's around the backstage area (a bit like CCTV), at the beginning have the talent over-aware of them, stand just out of shot etc, then have them get used to it and forget about them (abit like I'm a celebrity, where it is obvious in the early stages that they play to the camera). Would make much more sense, and could be used of TV for website, youtube shows etc.

WWE used that style for a bit back in 2000, not to extent of what you've described though.
At least TNA's backstage skits have clear audio, I remember the WCW ones from 2000, you couldn't understand what was going on, they improved into 2001 but AOL spoiled the fun!

Is anyone else fed up of the constant British Boot Camp and UK tour promo videos on Impact? Do they really need to show the exact same promos every week? (sometimes more than once)

The hiding camera thing annoys me. It's a soap opera. We all understand that. Ken Barlow never acknowledges the cameras in his house!
