TNA has had a good run of ratings in the new year. There's definitely been a better display of a consistent direction they're heading in. Hope they can keep it up long term.

Hey man as long as they handle "them" like they did EV2 I wouldn't mind it at all. Hell I'd do it again and again. If this is an idea of how TNA will be utilizing the nostalgia factor from here on out, I wouldn't mind it at all. This is of course assuming this feud is over by Lockdown. If they try to stretch it any longer than that I'll be hopping the fence and joining you in hatersville.

Alex Shelly broke his collarbone

Also read on Gerweck.net that...MCMG and GenMe may be broken up and their talents will be headed towards re-building the X-Division. Don't know if it will be an amicable break up or not, but I hope so.

Could you get rid of the spoiler from your quote please? Some people won't want to read it.

Reading some spoilers for the 1/27 Impact aaannndd.....Scott Steiner's back! Also Dixie announced that on 2/24 Impact will be heading on the road.

We Get It

Especially when it comes to TNA. Wrestling reviewers when they review TNA shows become worse than LOST fans. Honest question, when was the last time someone didn't analyze a show and suspended their disbelief? I'll admit during that Hardy-Anderson match I totally forgot that wrestling was fake and was standing up rooting for Mr. Anderson. From the sound of it the crowd did too. It was the best use of overbooking I've seen in wrestling since Foley won the WWF title the first time. But then again every IWC fan watches and all they do is analyze and analyze. They watch every match, every show like they're personally being asked to cast a vote for the Academy of Pro Wrestling Arts and Sciences. Meltzerism has ruined pro wrestling fandom.

Oh for the love of pete... I'm not going to argue with you.

Mr. Anderson transformed into a Cen@$$hole tonight. Bravo TNA really enjoyed this PPV.

At least it's a different way to screw someone.

There needs to be a worldwide ban on white men braiding their hair.

Mick Foley's Sketchers Shape ups line = the greatest singular 5 seconds in TNA's history

Wouldn't that tell you that more often than not WWE are dicks? You always assume the promoter is a dick when a well behaved wrestler is fired. Because that's usually the case.

I hope you realize that TEW is not close to an accurate representation of how companies run and expand.

http://www.wwe.com/inside/news/kavalreleased I wonder what he did...

ROH would have to grow by alot more than a bit to compete with WWE. TNA is a lot bigger than ROH and they aren't really competing with WWE, they just act like they are.

And he's been a big part of the biggest TNA storyline of the past year. I'm sure Kaz isn't too angry about about it.

TNA pays their workers so poorly because they have no reason to pay them more. It's that simple. You don't suddenly start paying guys significantly more money because their current pay "not right." Until wrestlers unionize (LOL), or a company with a similar TV deal to TNA opens and begins paying their workers well enough that guys begin leaving TNA to work there (don't hold your breath) the pay rates won't change. This whole argument is silly and holding TNA to a standard no other company is held to. US wages have been stagnant for a while now. There's no reason for TNA to pick up the 'proper pay' flag and run with it other than for the IWC to applaud them in between the vicious bashing of their product and rants about why they don't watch TNA. Get annoyed all you want, but business is business. Raising pay won't raise ratings.

I ****ing love Double MA Double J.

Ummm...is it just me or does Rob Terry look even BIGGER now?

Nothing you wrote reminded me of TNA. I think you went into it, or very early in the show thought it felt like a TNA show and from there on made light comparisons into glaring similarities. Sure some of it will look like TNA, many of the same guys behind Starrcade 2000 write TNA today.

I'm saying no matter how big of a jerk he is, it doesn't matter. Defensive players don't go: oh **** that's Desean Jackson. I'm gonna try to hit him harder! They will try to lay out whoever has the ball as hard as possible. As long as they do it legally, I don't mind it at all. Desean could have been doing cartwheels into the endzone since Pop Warner, that says nothing about who he is other than an over-excitable guy who is the biggest deep threat in the league.

We are in total agreement.
