I will give my thoughts on this Saturday night when we get it here.

 

I'm looking forward to it though, Lockdown was a solid show.

[TheFranchise 0]

Well, I never thought i'd see Scott Steiner hit Jeff Jarrett with a Santa Claus.

Loving what they're doing with Foley's character right now. When he's got some actual material to work with, he really is tremendous on the mic. I honestly forgot how good he could be. I really consistently enjoy Impact nowadays in a way that I haven't enjoyed pro wrestling since probably the "Smackdown Six" days at the end of 2002. They build strongly to the main event segment every week, and it's always something that feels meaningful and worth watching. Almost every undercard segment is interesting too, as the Kong/Love feud's the best feud I've seen in the Knockouts division, and the tourney's a neat idea to provide the tag division with some much-needed structure. Another A+ effort from Impact. If they keep this up, I think they can actually catch the WWE within 3 or 4 years.

[TheFranchise 0]

If they can start performing in bigger arenas in front of more fans and improve the production values just a touch, then yeah, they're on the right track.

 

Get Chris Daniels out of the main event, though.

 

He just doesn't look right, even if he's been the backbone of TNA.

[iggymcfly 0]

Nah, Daniels definitely belongs in the main event. He's pretty much the only young face they have that has enough charisma to be able to really get over with the crowd. He just needs to cut off that stupid mustache.

[TheFranchise 0]

Maybe. Just just his appearance, lack of visible body muscle.. I don't know, he just doesn't look in place next to the likes of Angle, Nash and even Jarrett.

[Masked Heel 0]

Idk Franchise I too think Daniels is a good fit, he has been gone for a while and they are treating him as legit so the fans will buy him, the ones at the Impact Zone sure do. He is smaller than the other guys but he's not like Rey Mysterio small and he can def bring the good matches.

Young face? Dude is almost 38. I guess he's young compared to Booker T, Angle and Nash but it's not like he's some newbie.

[Masked Heel 0]

He's a fresh face tho while not young he doesn't have that experence at the top and since the fans are accepting him I don't see a down side to having him be a main player in this TNA v MEM feud

BTW what does everyone think of "Jethro Holiday" do we think he will have legs in TNA?

[TheFranchise 0]

Jethro is a kick ass name.

 

Holliday not so much.

[Eugenius 0]

Yeah they should definitly drop Holliday and just name him "Jethro."

[Masked Heel 0]

Jethro Holiday is a better redneck name than Trevor Murdoch but does anyone think he will be a "impact" player in TNA or just get lost in the shuffle of the tag team division?
