He got his ass kicked locked in a cage with 4 people. It's not like he's getting pummled by Bashir.Remember bps, when it comes to TNA, people around here will complain about anything. Even on a show, that on paper, looks pretty good.
Culmative effect.
It seems like Joe can barely make it to the ring these days without getting beat, now when he actually manages to be part of a winning team...he gets stomped even worse than usual!
I'm sure this is all leading up to Nash putting him over HU-GE though.
-
Not only that, but Nash is really high when it comes to good business...!
-
Hands up if you think Joe's ever getting that win back!
-
Impact opens with Booker and Sharmell getting out of a limo with the TNA title over his shoulder. They come come to the ring he cuts a promo about how he's the greatest champ of all time and Samoa Joe can't beat him. Jim Cornette comes out and says Booker can't declare himself champ and he needs to give it back to the real TNA champion, Joe. Joe comes out and tells booker to keep the belt, he doesn't want handouts because he's still champ and will see him at Hard Justice.Didn't they just do this with the X-Division title ?
-
You are aware of the previous works of Mister Vince Russo, aren't you ?
Even with that said, there's no calculating how dumb you'd have to be to script anything other than a clean win for Joe in this one.
-
Strangely, no-one reported this but the show was GREAT!!!Can't speak for anyone else but I was too busy applying the deep-black eyeliner my WWE employers so thoughtfully purchased for me to bother with Impact this week.
-
I could be wrong but I though that Impact was doing an average 1/1.1 in the ratings, which is around a million viewers.
Last I heard, their PPVs were drawing under 30k in buys.
-
It can't help that their current ratings are...to be generous...stagnent (down week on week for the last three weeks or so).
-
Last year's Thursday Raw drew a 3.4. This year's drew a 3.0. Why is that so hard to believe that Impact took took away some viewers that otherwise would've watched Raw?IF any kind of sizeable number of regular Raw viewers did indeed tune into TNA instead of WWE, it means that MORE than half the regular TNA audience chose to do the exact opposite.
There's no way those numbers can be spun in favour of TNA.
-
Sobering numbers for TNA.
Bad enough they mucked up their prime-time Monday special but to have half your viewers switch off when the competition is around....well, if morale was poor before....
-
Download the PPVs and watch any of the matches that are worth a damn, ignore the shit-fest that is the rest of their programming.
-
Yeah, like Nash.Has he ever actually wrestled in TNA ?
-
Bush. League.
-
No word on ratings at all then ?
-
I'm genuienly surprised to hear that Spike were 'thrilled' with a 1.0 for the big debut show, it's good news for TNA though as Spike clearly have low/realistic (delete where appropriate) expectations.
-
In the same interview he also added he'd bring his wifeinto the ring so she could piss and shit on Puder...Hard to imagine they were having relationship problems, isn't it ?
-
Angle said if Dixie Carter allowed it he'd pill down his pants and rub his balls in Puder's face after he beats him.If he hasn't been in character over the last few weeks, Kurt's current spate of crash'n'burn has been hilarious to bear witness to.
-
All concerned will have to be disappointed with that rating, any suggestion othewise is hard to take seriously - prime time slot, PPV quality card, decent advertising - and they can't even match their best rating from the old slot ?
On the plus side, word-of-mouth on the show itself was good so maybe they have something they can build on.
-
If they don't, they're fucked.
1 or under would be a disaster, anything over 1.5 would be good.
-
Any word on a rating for this one ?
-
So?The match will be off-the-charts, no-doubt, but I'm disappointed that it's come so soon.
Granted, there are good reasons for getting all-you-can out of Angle ASAP (for starters, he might go and die or cripple himself before any long angle could pay off) but I had visions of Joe and Angle tearing through the roster till they eventually came head to head for the gold whereas they've pretty much just gone at each other from day one.
The build, such as its been, has been fine but I'm not getting the epic vibe from it that I feel I should.
Truth to tell, Joe/Steiner felt bigger in some ways!
-
He signed a month ago, this episode of Impact was recorded two weeks ago - it's not like they haven't had plenty of time to get the word out there.
Really surprised at this rating, right before their big show with Angle's first real appearance and things don't even spike a little.
-
Sounds like a couple of good shows.
Bringing Nash back is a mistake but (old)starfucking seems to come with the business.
-
“Am I shocked by some of the negative response? I’m more saddened by it – for Kurt,” Carter said.Yeah. Right.
She's a perfect fit for the wrestling business.
Predicitions for 2009

Well they're firmly established now, with ratings slowly edging upwards (1.2 seems to be their new 1.1) and a company wide storyline on which to build over the next twelve months.
One prediction I think you can take to the bank - Joe will turn heel, just in time to put the newly turned face Nash over.
