    OAO Impact Thread - June/8th/06.

    Meltz posted this about tonight's show: It's interesting to see them use the old SNME format of putting the feature match on early. I've been thinking that it would suit them well in the timeslot they're in, so it'll be interesting to see how it fares.

    OAO Impact Thread - June/8th/06.

    I am kinda interesting in seeing how Steiner does in a one-on-one 10 minute match, since all he's done are tags since coming in. And I dunno, I just like Sting, so seeing him on TV will be fun too. It'll be interesting to see what kinda number this show draws though. You can tell TNA is hoping for a big one because they're giving away a match-up between two of their biggest names and they've promoted the match pretty much since Sacrifice. But with the NBA Finals likely to be in the 4th quarter around that time, if its a close game, they might be screwed. Like I said, it should be interesting... Oh yeah...quick question: who the hell is playing the hell in the 3D/NAO feud? I thought originally it would be the outlaws since they are the least over of the two, they've dropped Bullet Bob from their act (THANK GOD!) and they cheated to win at the PPV. But then they got the babyface spoof promo and they're hear teaming with Sabin. What gives?

    The ratings are in and there's more good news for TNA: credit: PWI thoughts?

    yeah...that's a good move, IMO. The crowd is not going to stop cheering him as long as he's bad ass, and if they made him a traditional face and soften him, he wouldn't be as over.

    Sabin has a voice....and a personality! Who knew?!

    For some reason, those outfits the Naturals are wearing make me think of the Hart Foundation. I'm definitely having a PINK AND BLACK ATTACK flashback...lol.

    you're right....i don't know why I forgot that's how they've been doing it. Either way, it should be a pretty good match.

    So how many minutes do Lethal and Shelley get before Nash runs in for the DQ?

    They certainly want us to think that Jarrett/Raven and Sting/Steiner are the matches, huh? I don't know...I just can't see them blowing either of those matches on TV. I think it'd really put over the randoming pairings if they did a swerve next week and did Jarrett/Steiner (cuz you know Sting's match is going the last week). Anyway, overall, I'd say it was a good show, save the Team Canada segment.

    Glad to see Christian's gonna get some face time this week. I was hoping that they'd let him do commentary during the qualifiers.

    It's part of a storyline where he's in good (or thinks he's in good) with the new DoA. They're playing him off Larry Z, who's been wearing ties and sportcoats after a year of showing up in Hawaiian shirts because the new DoA put Larry on probation. Slick got in good with the said new guy, who hasn't been revealed yet, after Larry kept giving Earl Hebner the big main events to ref instead of him. I said it before, but I think it's worth repeating...two months in, TNA has gotten more out of Steiner than WWE did in his entire run. They've effectively played to his strengths and hid his weakness. Who would have thought when Joe debuted at last year's Slammiversary that he'd be set for the most anticipated match on the 06 card, against Scott Steiner?

    I dunno about anybody else, but that match kinda ruined the energy of the show a bit for me. It had a really nice flow going before this segment started IMO.

    I'm glad they acknowledged that Raven is the reigning KotM. Now if only he'd confront Jarrett about still being announced as that, the logically side of my brain will be happy.

    That commercial was funny, but very WWE-esque. Reminded me of some of the old Summerslam clips.

    That was me, and I agree 100%. Also, didn't Christe say we'd hear from Sting after the break?

    Here's another TNA commercial, for the Philly show. TNA's got it on youtube and on their site. Anyone know if this is running locally too?

    Spike TV has a great commercial up on their website for this week's Impact, plugging the KotM qualifying. Anyone watch enough outside of TNA to know if they are airing it too?

    I posted the rating in the show thread, but here's another note about ratings in general from Mike Johnson:

    He probably will, but in actuality, unlike the last few ratings spikes, when there was a heavily promoted match or angle (Sting's return and later, first match, or Joe/Daniels), this was pretty much promoted as a ordinary PPV aftermath show. That would suggest that there were people out there who were interested in what happened at the PPV and tuned in to find out, which, if true, bodes well for TNA.

    To their credit, TNA is doing a better job than they ever have booking the retreads and have made them as interesting as they have been in 5 years (10 in Nash's case). With the exception of Sting, they are all in very compelling angles right now and appear positioned to give guys who it the rub. I don't think that gets said enough. I'm probably looking forward to Steiner/Joe more than any match in the past year. Who would have thought I could ever care about a Steiner match after watching him stink it up with HHH.

    I like that they are doing the qualifying too, but I think they need to have Larry or Tenay sit down and explain the rules of gimmick and how it became a June tradition. And Raven should eventually call Jarrett on still calling himself KotM when he is, in fact, the reigning KotM. Anyway, if they continue to build it up properly (which they have so far the past 2 year, to their credit), eventually the gimmick can be a way to earn a title shot and bragging rights for a year, a la King of the Ring in WWE. Then, you could have a world title main event and the KotM match as draws for Slammiversary.
