Great show. Impact has been solid for months, imo. Nice psychology in the main event, in an x-division match no less. Joe and Dutt put on a great match, with Joe having the right amount of dominance but with Dutt having the offense in because of what he learned from the previous match he had with Joe at Slammiversary. Also a nice build up of storylines and I'm just glad this BG James thing is starting to end in a few weeks. Most likely he'll end up the ref for the 3LK vs Brown/Kip match at the ppv.

I'm sure Charlie Haas and the Dudleys will be labeled as "rejects" as well by some people, but oh well. Dudleys will still get pops just like Rhino will get a crowd reaction every time he comes out. I mean, at least TNA isn't going after some of the other releases that are pretty no name. I think Spike will be behind TNA more than FSN. TNA is gonna be with that Saturday night block. Makes no sense to not advertise TNA but to just advertise the shows around it.

Hmm...but I'm guessing Spike would advertise TNA. Would there be any complications with that? Advertising for an infomercial?

My predictions: Joe, Shelly, Styles...and tough one...I'll go with Petey. Then Joe and AJ will make it. Joe wins.

Finally. It is announced! It does suck if TNA's paying for it, but at least they're not paying for a 3pm Friday slot. At least Saturday nights have some promise. I'm very excited about this...hopefully if the ratings are good enough, they'll get an even better timeslot. But that's probably thinking a bit too far ahead.

Someone must have hacked into Mike's account.

Loved the way TNA did it. Pretty cool. I had wondered what the backward messages were.

Right now TNA is gonna cater to the internet fans with no television and all. I would've liked some international flavor, but this is fine by me. Can't wait for it to start.

Very good show. The Abyss and Raven match was sick, especially the dollar bill stapled on Abyss's forehead. Like I said, very good show over all, and without the help of Matt Hardy.

Yea, if that was just middle of the road, can't wait to see what he can really do.

Holy crap, fantastic match by Joe and Sabin.

Wonder what the backward voice in the opening package said. AMW beat Shane/Shelly Sonjay Dutt actually won the qualifier Simon Diamond's on a recruiting mission and brings out David Young. Tag match with them against Apolo/Siaki.

New set looks decent. Less bush-league. And damn, Tenay IS really the only one able to step up head to head against Jarrett. More stuff from pre-show: Jarrett running his mouth again...looks like maybe he's gonna do something with Rhino...told the fans they got suckered into the Matt Hardy "BS Storyline". Jerelle Clark vs Shocker-Shocker wins with a roll-up. Very underwhelming. Clark needs somebody fast to show what he can do.

I think for a lot of people ordering it's not so much as a "YOU CAN'T MISS THIS", but more of a "It looks like a very good-great show because of the matches that are expected to be pretty darn good."

Can you tell me why Meltzer being quiet on this means? Does it mean that he keeps spoilers under wraps?

At least TNA isn't letting anyone on.

PWInsider... Matt Hardy is scheduled to fly to Orlando, Florida today with the idea that he would make an appearance on tonight's TNA No Surrender PPV to augment his current "WWE Outsider" storyline. As of yesterday, the only holdup to Hardy's appeance would be whether TNA management would sign off on his appearing, which we haven't confirmed one way or the other. There are positives and negatives to a potential appearance by Hardy. In theory, Hardy could create a buzz to spur fans to purchase the replays of the No Surrender PPV. His appearance might also move DVDs, especially if the DVD is promoted as having "extra Matt Hardy footage" that wasn't seen live on PPV. If WWE were to use any TNA footage on their TV (which is probably a longshot), the appearance could be a plug for TNA on WWE programming. That might entice fans to check out the TNA product, although that product wouldn't feature Hardy, who would be what WWE focuses on. It makes perfect sense for TNA to want to jump on board, as Hardy has the hottest storyline in the business right now. His mentions of Ring of Honor on WWE TV and Byte This helped incite a run on ROH tickets for several ROH events. TNA would love to have a similar runoff effect. The difference is that Hardy wouldn't be on WWE plugging a TNA event, he'd potentially be on TNA pushing his WWE storyline. In order to maximize any positives, TNA would need to insure that a Hardy appearance doesn't overshadow their other plans, which isn't easy to book as you can't control how the crowd will react. You don't want the "WWE star" cameo to burn out the live crowd in Orlando and potentially take away from the TNA wrestlers who make their living working for the company and will be there for the next TV taping and the next PPV, and the shows after that. TNA would also need to make sure that whatever plans are in place for Rhino's debut aren't overshadowed. The former ECW champion is a huge acquisition by the company and shouldn't be overlooked to have the focus placed on someone TNA tried to bring in and was unable to sign. There is a feeling among some that their focus should be on moving along their own angles and storylines, not one controlled by another wrestling promotion that features lot of payoffs in the "maybe" column and none in the "definite" column.

zyn, you're right, if it's a one time deal, it's just a short term buzz...but that's what TNA needs right now. They're not gonna get on television outside of Sun Sports or until October (reportedly). Anything that'll keep TNA on the radar at least for the short run is a good thing.

With the Hogan thing, at least Jarrett ran his mouth saying that Hogan was scared. Maybe he could do the same thing about Hardy. At first I wasn't sure if letting Hardy be there is a good idea or not, but the more I think about it, I say go for it. I mean, sure WWE's getting the upper hand in a sense, but at least it's three promotions working together. Like bps said, it's "neat." It would create that buzz, and TNA could replay that footage. Gets people talking. Also, imagine if Hardy gets to "shoot" on the WWE. TNA would have a field day with the replaying of that on future shows.

1) Because he's Jarrett. 2) I agree...I think it's to launch a program for Lynn. I'm guessing he's going after either Waltman or Styles in the end of the match. 3) That's Daniel's schtick...that he's beaten everyone in the world. And since Petey's from Canada, it's another country where Daniels could say he's beaten the best out of if he wins.

About the Styles/Waltman match, Waltman has said that AJ was naive the past either week or two weeks. What if the tables are turned and AJ works something out with Lynn? Waltman expects an unbiased ref but becomes the naive one when Lynn crosses him.

Well, all he needs to do is show up early for a ticket. It doesn't even cost anything. But then he'll be in line being swarmed by the fans asking him about everything that's happened..

Yea, this card is strong. Raven and Abyss in a brutal match. Daniels vs Petey is gonna be very good. Super X qualifier will be a fast paced spot fest. AJ vs Waltman will be good, and will be better if Waltman delivers. Looking forward to the show.

RedJed, I agree with you, why play up all of this TNA ppv thing. I mean, that's what he's hinting at, though he doesn't come out and say it. Oh well, I was gonna get this ppv anyway, and if for that 1% chance he shows up, well, I'll just have to get a new pair of pants.
