I agree. Monty can sell me a ppv. He just has IT.

Just saw the show and I thought it was very good. Even with Nash at the end, I was a bit excited. For the casual viewers, I thought TNA did the ending well...kept bringing out surprises and old faces, but with the whole fast paced and chaotic atmosphere, it was really exciting.

Yea, the psychology of the ring is a bit out there, but at least it does make the ring more "technical" in that sense and not just a gimmick.

Spiketv.com has that TNA subsection up with maybe 7 or 8 two-minute interviews with some of the stars of TNA. Some good stuff. AJ brings up a pro about the six sided ring which TNA should push more...he says since the ropes are shorter, there's more spring to it and allows for better action. It's just a small detail that can mean a lot about the ring.

A better looking set just adds to the presentation of it all. I don't see why anyone needs to complain about it. It's better than what they had at the Fairgrounds.

I wish there were better commercials as well, but Spike was the ones who produced them.

Before the taping start, America's Most Wanted came out and said that they alligned with Jarrett because the fans gave them nothing after three years of their hard work.

I never go by another person's opinion on a match. I'll have to see it for myself, but maybe the second hour will fare better if the first was not up to par.

3 matches announced. 3 matches that make me want to buy.

If Spike really wanted the change, I can't blame TNA...especially if the bookers wanted something different but didn't get what they wanted. They can't displease Spike before they go on air...but still...damn.

Fuck. That prototype houseshow was a good idea. But dammit, to have titles change to Jarrett sucks. He is NOT the guy to build a promotion around, especially when you need to have something fresh and new on Spike. I've been wanting AMW to go heel for a very long time. Maybe they can add some more dimension to the team.

I'd rather have them just involved in storylines. There just isn't enough time on a one hour show to have a women's division and all the rest of the stuff they want to put in for other wrestlers.

I actually went from hating him to enjoying him and his matches recently. If the report is true, then it sucks. Leaving Shelly out there like that and screwing up plans.

Always glad to see supposedly good wrestler make their way to TNA. Can't wait to see what this guy's all about. I wonder what they're gonna do with Siaki now. Apolo showed something a few ppvs ago...I forgot what match it was though. I've never really been a fan of his, but I'm sick of just seeing him in throwaway matches. Maybe this group is gonna be good for him.

No doubt this is a throwaway show. But I don't blame 'em since it's gonna be all about BFG really. But still...that 3 way match is gonna be amazing.

I'm fine if it's a managerial role. No time in a one hour slot for a women's division.

The six sided ring is great. Tradition is fine, but doing something out of the ordinary is what TNA should be about. It's still great wrestling in the ring...just a six sided one.

I only saw a glimpse of the logo. I thought it was just the same but with the Spike colors.

Even if it's just a work, it's still free pub. It's like saying TNA is now a formidable competitor.

He should've agreed to that cage thing, but then actually win the cage match by getting out first. That would be more people he would've screwed.

At least they're letting the wrestlers still work ROH. They're protecting themselves yet giving wrestlers opportunities to earn more pays elsewhere.

It did mean a lot...Joe got that big ass trophy!

How would the winner be ultimately decided in a round robin tourney?

It looks all very underwhelming, but I shall reserve judgement until I see it on the web for myself.

Is there anything said for Hardy and Moore? I mean, looks like Hardy may have something to do with the main event level, possibly with Abyss. And the James Gang doesn't look to be happening unless BG James is gonna turn against 3LK.
