Kenny King is really becoming one of the top guys on the roster. He's got a great character and should be allowed to hold the Title for a while to really build him up within the company.

He will undoubtably lose it at Slamaverary to Chris Sabin, everyone loves a glorious comeback from injury.

Was very suprised that Christian York lost that BFG entry match thought he was being put forward as an up and comer to greater things, match had a unexpected ending. even more suprised that they have started the Bound for Glory run up already, is it not enough for the BFG series to dominate the next 3 months without it strating early.

Velvet Sky, worst wrestler on the TNA roster.

I can't believe it but I'm really starting to like King. When he first joined he was too gay for words but now he's found a personality, he cuts good promos and is doing some fine wrestling.

Its fine by me, all i mainly watch it for, Velvet Sky



It also finished on Spike with no contract signing while Sting and Bully were brawling to, so wasn't a Challenge fault, thats how/where it ended.
But it finished even before they had started brawling, I have managed to see it now online, but it just annoyed me that they had wasted so much time and then overran.

I think she's good, she makes a good heel, and her technical skills are far better then most of the other knockouts (not saying much I know) but at least she does more then shove her ass in peoples faces! And how many other wrestlers yet alone women have an octopus and figure 4 submission moves in their arsenal. She's easy on the eye as well

She's eons better than who they're pushing now. The KOs have been going into the toilet, sadly.

This^^

I'd watch Gail Kim over Sky and Tessmacher. I like this vicious figure four gimmick!

i agree, i miss Awesome Kong. She would have been good as a female member of aces and Eights.

Kim is way better technically than Sky who basically just dances round the ring using the same 3 or 4 moves over and over punctuated by frequent undeserved yells to the crowd, "Come on!". Sky used to be good on the mic, esp. with the Beautiful People, but now she doesn't wrestle, doesn't really interact with the fans, doesn't talk much... and she's the champion! I don't know what deal she cut when TNA renewed their contract with her, or what blackmail photos she has, but something's not right.

Taryn's joining has definitely led to some improvement in the Knockouts -- James also seems to have raised her game -- but I'd like to see even more aggression and harder fights. I liked Jackie's bad attitude and I'm glad to see they're bringing her back for the One Night Only ppv they've yet to air.

Question for long term wrestling fans: has there ever been a WCW, TNA or WWE match in which a female wrestler has bladed herself? I'm not bloodthirsty but can't help thinking that the odd splash of red in a really hard-hitting match would help credibility and move away from the tedious glam role.

Right now TNA is really happening in Division X and tag-team. KO's is improving. But the heavyweights, Aces & 8's and all that crap is like watching a HGV stuck in deep mud; the wheels are spinning but...

Probably happened in ECW but can't ever recall it happening in a major promotion.

Don't forget that WWE still airs on tape delay in Canada to this day because of the time Triple H and Austin destroyed Lita with chairs.

No, it aired live for years on TSN before they went to The Score. There it aired on a 15-minute delay but they went back to airing Raw live weeks ago. Unless by "tape delay" you mean the 7-seconds delay, but that is also on USA Network.

These attendance for live Impacts don't look good. Here's pictures from yesterday's Impact in Tampa.

At least their US ratings have went up again.

They really should be avoiding the mid-florida area for a bit though, being taped 45mins from Tampa for so many years probably still hasn't made people miss it enough to make an effort to come out and see it.

They need smaller arenas. Have the illusion that they're as full as possible would come across better than this embarrassment.

Just watched this weeks, there was more crowd in than whats shown above, was still pretty empty though, and it was a terrible show, mistakes galore, timings all messed up, missing moves, having to re-do moves, a 3 count that never was etc..., got to be the worst Impact ive ever seen that, was a total mess from start to finish!

So it appears AJ isn't joining A&8's then. Good decision. Keep him on the loner storyline. Though the fact that A&8's assumed he had already joined sort of gave away the fact that AJ wasn't going to join them.

Looks as though Brooke may be having second thoughts about Bully Ray. I know it was mentioned on this thread previously that Brooke could switch allegiance and join Bully in A&8's. Following this week's Impact that could certainly happen following Brooke's reaction to Bully's declaration. It would certainly add some intrigue to the current storyline.

It's pretty obvious Mickie is on the verge of turning heel if she hasn't done so already following her title win. The way she talked to Brooke last week about feeling that she was annoyed about not getting the opportunities in TNA, leading to Brooke giving her a title shot against an injured Velvet Sky and then this week suggesting to Velvet that she would offer to have the match moved, when it was clear she had no intention to made it certain that Mickie was becoming heel. Again though she has been a face for so long it may provide some freshness to her character and the Knockouts Division.

Great to see Gunner back. This guy really became a great wrestler last year, first with his TV title reign and then his strong performance in the BFG series. Wouldn't mind at all to see him and Storm winning the Tag Team Championship.

Speaking of the Tag Team division. TNA is really putting some effort into it at the moment. James Storm, Bobby Roode, Austin Aries and Daniels and Kazarian, top wrestlers in the company, are all currently involved in a feud for the Tag Team titles. Eventually they will likely return to singles competition at some point but it's great to see the Tag Titles being considered so important at the moment by TNA.

Even though it was a blatant rip off gimmick. Shark Boy's "Shell Yeah" and Kick some Bass" was still funny. It would be great to see him more often.

Some great X-Division action as usual, and a great match also between Anderson and Angle.

Slammiversary could certainly be a great PPV for TNA.
