Has any title been as worthless as the TNA Legends/TV/KOTM/Global Championship.

 

The WCW Hardcore title

[Dave_Scott]

Did they address Storm's previous persona at all?

 

He cut a promo when he returned saying he talked to his granny about what he was doing at the time and after that he "found" his old self. It's very hard to like this company sometimes.

Could have been worse, besides we got a Beer Money reunion out of it. Hard to complain, we got one of the best tag teams in recent history back.

Ok, I said I would abstain, but WHY IN THE HELL did you bring up Reigns again, Warhawk? Jesus Christ...nobody is talking about him and you come out in an unrelated thread and diss him for what? Attention? Sorry if I'm sounding too harsh, but I know this guy long enough to actually know what I'm talking about. And the EC3 praise? Like I said, prepare for that to jump off the window on the very next Impact...but I guess you will praise that Russorific swerve as well, right? It's not Reigns, so it's good...

 

Smash, me and you both know there is no way Warhawk can not mention TNA being better then WWE and Reigns sucking in every sentence. I do agree that EC3 is one of the best heels in the biz, though.

[Dawn]

It was as great of a reunion as The Prime Time Players', oh yes it was...I'll just say this, if Demolition was to come back and did so in a segment in which they would take a big dump, I wouldn't praise it just because it's Demolition...

Oh, I do agree about EC3 being a great heel and a deserving TNA World Champion as well (Does the belt deserve him, though?), there is no doubt about that. But come back next week after Impact and I'll be here with a big smile on my face while your and other's jaws fall on the floor.

[The_CoC]

I loved the segment with EC3 and Mike Bennet/Maria, that would be a great feud.

[The_CoC]

Very excited to see how they play out the feud with Hardy and EC3, I have read the spoliers and I think they stepped in the right direction.

More like back to square one to me, and the way they did that is really asking for the angle to fail, but to each their own. If the angle is not a failure, though, my hat will be off for you. But I know Dixie Carter.</p>

[Warhawk8492]

I am going to see how this plays out before I jump to conclusions.

[smurphy1014]

Maybe I am missing something but besides Maria what is the appeal of Mike Bennett?

[Warhawk8492]

Michael Bennett was a great signing by TNA. He could easily become a great top level heel in TNA.

I honestly didn't see the appeal of him until I saw him work in person. He's a heat magnet.

[Stennick]

The Young Bucks still come across as backyard wrestlers to me.

[Mootinie]

Lol Michael Bennett. The only wrestler in the world that could possibly have an average match with Hiroshi Tanahashi.

I don't see why people hated on the results of tonights Impact, I honestly am looking forward to see how the Matt Hardy heel turn plays out. Once again the TNA haters are proven wrong.

[The_CoC]

I loved the turn, first this sets up a baby face EC3 run which is what the company needed but also gives fans reasons to boo Matt. Matt is better off as a heel IMO. Also we may see a EC3/Spud reunion!

 

Lashley and Raquel is an interesting story and could give Lashley more layers that he needs but it could also lead to Raquel with a another man vs Lashley.

 

If Galloway is the man to retire Angle I will be happy, Galloway deserves that sort of rub and credibility from it. Also could lead to Galloway vs Matt for the title.

 

Bennet was impressive and I wonder if this leads to him joining up with his old buddy Matt..

 

Overall fun show.

[Big Roguey]

To play devil's advocate - I really don't care one way or the other - it invalidates the entire title tournament they did and makes it come across as just another stupid TNA booking decision. If Matt was going to end up as champion regardless, why bother with the whole injuction leading into the tournament arc?
