Last nights TNA was great, finally after weeks of crap they had some good matches.

Anderson v Bully was really good, im sick of Bully now but the match was pretty decent.

Styles v Aries was epic, two of the best going at it, really great match.

Magnus v Roode was another good match, a few mis-steps but otherwise prett decent.

Seems so, Bully was in a match last night vs Anderson so all of AaE in attendance and no Tito.

That was the first Impact I've seen in a few weeks and it was pretty darn good. TNA works well when they cut out the nonsense and put some effort in. I wonder where they'll go with Anderson seeing that it's rumoured that his contract is running down. They have a lot of faces to put in feuds of Bound for Glory - Aries, Magnus, Hardy etc. Hopefully things pick up more consistently when the Aces & 8s story finally ends. No more factions for a while please.

Yeah i think its about time they brought Abyss back, Joseph Park has gone on for to long now, was funny at first.
Definitely agree on that

Oh dear, what a wretched PPV, one of the worst wrestling PPV i have ever seen.

Most of it was flashbacks, hugely extended flashbacks and riddled with knockouts who are not on the roster or should not be on the roster.
It wasnt even a ppv, as you say it was mostly flashbacks, i was expecting new matches with the female roster involved but not matches that were old.

Gail Kim is still the best by a mile, shame all the rest are awful.
Even worse than December to Dismember?

I have it on my Sky+ planner, but have not yet got around to watching it.

Was supposed to be Andersons last match that (guessing thats why they had the rest of the 8s help Bully, as id have expected them to help Anderson if not), but hes now re-signed.

Just reading that it's apparently a "done deal" that Impact is coming off the road and going back to a single location which is a shame. I hope they can at least choose an arena where the fans are likely to be in to the product and not kill it stone dead like the orlando crowd did.

They must be really struggling financially if they're having to do this though ..

Actually I didn't think she was that bad - funnily enough, she seems more comfortable being a bitch!

And I thought it was brave of TNA to have AJ make that speech, as he seemed to address a lot of the gripes that a lot of fans have at the moment - letting good talent go to waste, firing people all over the place, all that crap with the MMA stars etc etc. It seems a rather risky strategy though. I'm intrigued enough to see how this will play out, but it could equally backfire, as criticising the show to that extent might make viewers wonder why they are continuining to watch such a poorly run company.

I thought that bit with AJ and Dixie reminded me a bit of a couple of things, first of all I think AJ was kind of teasing winning the belt and taking it elsewhere (so a bit like what started the whole Survivor Series 97 incident), and secondly Dixie going heel like that, kind of made me think of TNA trying to go down a Vince/Stone Cold sort of situation.

Also Dixie saying she built the company etc, why no mention of JJ??
I guess it doesn't work well within the storyline, but to airbrush Jeff out of TNA history is a bit harsh!

I don't think AJ will win the belt, with Dixe as a heel, i think she'll be in with the A&8s, and have some sort of hand in him not winning it

A&8s could have all fallen apart by then now though, as that roads already started.

Pretty much my thoughts as well, with all the vanishing stars and intermittent story lines its hard to watch TNA anymore.

What has happened to the once in depth tag team division?

It seems to be another one affected by cut-backs sadly.

Perhaps it wasn't such a good decision to take Impact on the road after all.

What get me is TNA have let some very good ant talented wrestler go but still have jessie godderz.

As for brooke tessmacher what going on there i keep experting OSG saying call the girl on-screen now the way she keep punting her finger to her lips and shaking her ass. Having said that it might be a way of making extra money.

The real problem is the lack of x division matches. X division was TNAs signature for a long time, now it seems to have been abandoned for the most part.

TNA is such a joke. I did catch this episode, but Dear Lord, it was awful as expected. Sums up their state in the world where they acknowledge on TV how shit they are perceived.

Yeah the X-divison was great, but you only See Sabin and Manik now, was going to say and AJ, but hes not X-division anymore, hasn't been for a while now, bugger knows where the rest are, gone the way of the knockouts, theres only ODB, Mickie and Gail now by the looks of it, ive never seen the others wrestle for a while now, they got Velvet hanging about with Sabin in the back, Tessmacher just coming out with Bully, and don't know whats happened to Taryn Terrell, Killer Queens preggers (not seen her for that long i forgot her name ), and Tara got the shove, Angelina Love seems to have disappeared as well, used to have quite a few women, but all disappeared.

TNA has removed the profiles of Mickie James and Ken Anderson from the roster section on their website.

I still remember the tag line, "its not about weight limits, it is about no limits!", in regards to the X-division, (probably a reason to allow Samoa Joe into it in the first place), which I thought was quite a good one.

Now though, it just seems like yet another cruiserweight division, with barley enough people there to call it a division.

TNA has lost its way recently, and lost what set it as part from WWE, now more so than ever, it just looks like a direct copy sadly.
