TNA iMPACT! Discussion Thread

TNA iMPACT! Gets More Airtime Next Thursday - Details TNA and SpikeTV executives met and have agreed to run the show past the scheduled 11pm EST time slot. Make sure to set your DVR's an extra 15 minutes to be sure you don't miss the extra action of TNA's 200th episode of iMPACT!

This is nice. I mean I know TNA isn't gonna get 3hrs for the 200th episode but 15min is an extra match! Fingers crossed X-Division match not MeM!!!

I am psyched. TNA has been a let down for like a month. An extra 15mins could mean redemption, or failure. It all depends on how TNA uses this extra time.

I dont read spoilers... So if AJ wins with the hell is going to happen at Hard Justice? WOW. Morgan is getting a huge push though. To even be in that match. I am really hype about Joe vs Hernandez. that is gonna ge awesome. Look for Joe vs Hernandez at B4G. This weeks iMPACT! is gonna be great!

So, I missed the 1st 8minutes... Sad... But I did see the end of Lashley promo, it was solid. I just finished watching Joe vs Hernandez. Solid, solid match. I can't wait to see these two at Bound for Glory, got to know that is where this is heading. Hernandez with the top rope splash and the win??? Damn. Got to say I didn't expect Hernandez to win. So happy he is getting a push. Hernandez said he will be the 1st Latin TNA champ. YUP. That comment cemented the fact he is going to get a title push. Great move on TNA. TNA is pushing two big men with different alignments. Hernandez the next big FACE, and Morgan being the next big HEEL.

Matt Morgan with a good promo. Morgan always does good promos. Nothing great, but he has a superstar look so he gets by. Then we see AJ, his promo was great. I mean that in the way he did it. If you notice, NO SCREAMING! LoL. AJ always finishes his promos by screaming. AJ didnt scream. I was glad he didnt. A possible AJ vs EY feud looks in order, I am very happy about that.

Now, we get to the 1st of 3 series match between AJ and Matt. Still am trying to figure out if Aj wins this, who does that effect the Hard Justice PPV main event? I am sure that Lashley vs Angle will be saved for B4G... OK, so Matt Morgan was doing great. His heel tactics where awesome! AJ won the 1st match. So next week it will be Morgan vs AJ again. I thought overall the match was good, although I thought the Pele kick wasn't used at the right spot. None the less. The end was fantastic! AJ with a Spring board 450splash. PHENOMENAL!

Backstage, my giant flotations divices where talking... LoL. But really. I liked Traci's promo. Did well. She talked how she was being wasted by TNA. She talked how she begged to get some tv time and how TA said we love you. But we have nothing for you. I thought Traci did great selling it. Although I hated Lauren, always hate her...

Don West interviews Tara. That was great. He said. something about Poison, but my memory sucks. Something about how Poison was a hairy, 15lb, spider from the depths of Africa. Any one know exactly what he said or have a video of the interview can you hook me up please?

So, it is the Knockouts. Beautiful People vs Kong, tara, and ODB. So it was an OK match. I dont really have anything to say about it seeing as this gets iMPACT! time over the X-Division title...

Here comes World Elite. Their faction theme song is terrible! UGHH! It sucks. I don't think EY should be the leader. Bashir is a much better talker, and he has more heat. Bashir is the better choice. EY mentioned Jarrett, that surprised me. I dont see why EY needed to cut his hair during the promo....

Brits vs 3D next. I didn't watch the whole thing, as I wasn't very interested. I will say I am very surprised that the Brits won the tag titles.

And then the main event. The match wasn't very good because Foley isn't very good any more. The end blew me away though because I never thought Foley would win the legend title. Honestly I don't think it will matter. The title means nothing and having Foley with title doesn't help. I wish Nash still had the title. Only because I would have liked him to hold onto it until B4G... Now wait. I know that sounds crazy. Because it is, but I want Daniels to hold the title. Daniels could feud with Nash for a while and lead to a match at B4G where Daniels beats Nash in like 5minutes. Then the title could be held by a real TNA legend and give the title some prestige. I think Daniels could have some real storylines and feuds for the title. But back to iMPACT! I figured Lashley wouldn't come out until Angle had made Foley tap. But he came out and Foley won. So yea. Odd imo.

Very good show, and is setting up for big pushes for the young guys. It seems that they are fading out the old yellers of TNA, in the coming months.

Thanks admin! Finally a iMPACT! thread! I finished my thoughts up there ^^^

I think the 200th episode was pretty good. But it got 5 extra minutes.... 5!!!! So, all that BS was a lie! I guess Spike said you can have 15minutes if you need. Well, TNA wasted it. Instead they put Red vs Homicide on the Webmatch. Just stupid.
