Wow. Sabin needs not to have a promo war with Nash if it can be avoided over the next couple of weeks. Nash running away from Sabin was funny, though. edit: Sabin needs more work on the mic, but TNA needs to give him more time to get him better. Took them a few years. And Samoa Joe calling Sting a punk-ass! SNAP!

Can anyone tell me, is that the winged logo of Against All Odds they still have on top of the video screen up there?

I fucking heart Alex Shelley. His JB impersonation ruled.

I really like how TNA has just gone and started off shows quickly, even if it is with Jarrett...at least it's about KOTM. Steiner is snapping on West! Bless you TNA for making me entertained by Steiner.

Nash only runs in after someone's down. It's the only way to book this angle without really making the division look weak.

But any fan watching knows what this angle is trying to prove. I'm not all of a sudden thinking that the X-division is a joke now that Nash says it is and I doubt everyone's gonna think that it's a joke as well. I'll still wait to see where this all goes before crapping on it.

I was surprised that the qualifiers were those. Didn't think they'd give away Jarrett v Raven and Sting v Steiner on free tv. I'm glad Christian had some shots at the challengers. He needs to bring back some personality. Steiner and Joe should be interesting. I'm just wondering how they'll book this match.

Very nice news on the ratings front. TNA's starting to find a formula that has fans tuning in.

Mark Henry made it...

So far it's handled well. The only true way of knowing if it's a good or bad thing is the end. If Nash has a fluke loss, then it's time to put in the damage control. If Nash accomplishes putting someone over as in over, then it's good.

I liked the show overall. I'm gonna stop saying it feels rushed, because it's always rushed until they get more airtime, so until they do, I won't say it anymore. I was surprised Truth got through, but very glad to see him in the main event at the ppv. James Gang I thought was pretty funny, yea it's stale, but I got a kick out of it. I CARE ABOUT A SCOTT STEINER STORYLINE. Wow, never thought I'd say that. Good job, TNA. The Slammiversary commercial was pretty funny...looks like a WWE commercial, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Senshi...what an awesome finisher.

I don't really want Sting with the title.

The AJ/Daniels vs Homocide/Senshi sounds really good. I think the problem with Christian is that he hasn't been given a true main event role. He has been overshadowed by Sting and that storyline ever since Sting came on.

I like the choke hold as a finishing move if it was just that with no Muscle Buster set up. I think the Buster is strong all by itself as a finisher anyway.

They could always say that if you don't get in the box, you get DQ'ed. Of course, I haven't seen a DQ in forever in TNA.

Well, with 5 people in a match involving a ladder, it'd be kind of unrealistic to think that anyone would have a shot at making it to the top without being knocked off or pulled down by the other 4 people. That's where the penalty box comes into play. You actually have to wrestle a match, pin the guy, and use that to your advantage by shortening the number of competitors.

Bound For Glory is their Wrestlemania. This is more of a Summerslam I think. I love the qualifiers idea each week. Gives the match more importance come KOTM as the contenders had to wrestle just to have a shot at the title.

No, you're free to hang the belt up there. You don't take it down.

KOTM: Basically, first person to hook the title to the ceiling wins. It's really a reverse ladder match. To be eligible to hang the belt up, a wrestler first has to pin another wrestler. The pinned guy has to go into a caged penalty box for two minutes.

Christian's theme, imo, is the best one.

WMAC Masters was cool Don't touch that cage or you'll lose a point!

I think Sabu's already signed a contract to go to the reformed ECW. edit: BEATEN TO PUNCH!

Joe was injured against David Young. And TNA probably doesn't use "real" music due to royalties being paid?

lol @ Steiner yelling out "Shut up, BorUsh."

Tyson needs to really team up with Eric Young. That'd be fantastic. I loved their interaction at the gauntlet Sunday.
