  1. 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.


  2. 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.

     


  3. 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 ?


  4. 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.


  5. 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.


  6. 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!


  7. 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.
