TNA managed to pull it together with this one. I tip my hat to them. The fortune turn was well played and actually got me a bit excited. I loved the beginning and I loved the end, I liked some stuff in between. I was worried, however, when I saw...
Jeff and Karen shit. Come the fuck on already. I almost quit watching if I hadn't wanted to watch and see who "they" were (I refrained from peeking at spoilers). They even pulled the kids into this shitty ass angle (no pun intended). And what the hell did it prove? I didn't see Kurt address it at all. Maybe it's being saved or "built up" but the shit is not remotely interesting. It sucks, it's idiotic, and I'm sure even though Kurt's being professional about it all there's got to be something in the back of his brain picking about something. If they would get rid of this shit entirely they could have a ten times better product IMO.
Same thing with "Bully" Ray and Devon. Now, I like Devon and all, but I hope they put this to rest at the ppv already. This is also some fat that needs trimmed (pun intended that time). And all of a sudden they throw Pope and Joe together w/them when they've got their separate program anyway? It just screamed jumbled together for space w/no apparent rhyme or reason.
All in all, I wasn't too upset w/Impact this week. I still like the knockouts matches even though there's a botch or two in there. They put a lot of work into their stuff and I still enjoy watching them for more than even the obvious reasons.
I liked the beginning segment, I think Bischoff's even got a little better in the past couple weeks than usual. I also liked the end. I liked Eric Young's bit at the announce booth. Always nice to see EY doing some comedy stuff. I could have done w/out 3D's presence and Pope and Joe did nothing to help the spot.
The thing I can't wait for them to snuff is the damn Jarrett shit. Send Karen and the kids back to the house and leave them off of television already. She's bat-shit annoying anyway, the kids don't need to be there, and Jarrett's always sucked. I'd love for Jarrett to just get the hell off of the tv and stay off. I'd even put up w/watching Bischoff every week w/a smile on my face, cheering, and drinking a toast to him every Thursday if Jeff was gone.
