[Remy LaCroix]

This is awesome! Clap clap, clap clap clap.

 

[goodlay]

New top 10 rankings revealed tonight as well I suppose?

 

[Unsold Bacon]

That would be nice.

 

[gd]

I believe they are

 

[klunderbunker]

THis is an important show for TNA as they entered a new phase of their mega angle last week. I have a bad feeling about this angle as a whole, but we'll see where it goes starting tonight.

Not to sound like a jackass KB, but do you like TNA? You always tune in for iMPACT and stuff but you always sound so reluctant to watch the product.

 

[Ferreira]

I'll be here.

 

[klunderbunker]

I like TNA, but they get in their way far too often. Bischoff and Russo don't get that a lot of the times, huge intellectual angles that are very intricately designed do not work because if you don't see every show and get every detail of it they make next to no sense. The company could be very good but they're happy with barely getting 1.2s every week and bringing in guys that haven't been close to relevant ever for the most part, thinking it means something. They're so obsessed with trying to get this one big idea that will bring them to WWE's level that they can't just go out there and put on a good wrestling show. It's very frustrating which is why I complain so often.

Wouldn't TNA first have to book intellectual angles for us to really judge this statement?

Also, since when does TNA make sense to the people who watch it every week?

 

[klunderbunker]

TNA can make sense at times, but take for instance the whole Fourtune (you know the team that holds up four fingers and has like 6 members) thing where it's possible that the comments from TNA guys on the internet and in papers were works. How many people do you think heard about them or watched because of them? My guess is not many but Bischoff and Russo think that's enough to make an angle cool. They fail to get that sometimes, the answer to your problems is going out there and have a good wrestling match.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

So....what will the crowd chant tonight???

I'm guessing and hoping it'll be "TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF!" *clap**clap**clapclapclap*

Evidently not, as Dixie claims their minute-to-minute ratings show people favor talking.

Who am I to question the conclusions her and those experienced industry leaders draw from that?

 

[klunderbunker]

That sums up another TNA issue pretty well: short sightedness. Everything is about right now and not about long term anything. The one thing that is long term is this mega angle, which is what started this series of rants. What if the big angle doesn't work? If you put everything you've got in one angle and the angle bombs, you've got nothing left and it shows badly.

 

[Pepe Silvia]

Four fingers = Double eye poke, KB. It's harder to miss.

 

[klunderbunker]

So think they're going to set up ECW vs. Fourtune at No Surrender or BFG tonight or next week?

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Jeff attack!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Perhaps both?

 

[Pepe Silvia]

You know what'd be awesome? If when Tenay said "30 minutes ago" they walked by one of those single-day calenders that said Tuesday.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

LOL at them censoring Jeff's ass!

 

[It's Damn Real!]

LOL @ blurring out Hardy's ass crack.

 

[klunderbunker]

Perhaps both?

I hope they do that. I'd have a lot more jokes to make.

 

[klunderbunker]

Is Jeff's back being blurred or something or was that something I imagined?

 

[Mitch Henessey]

So Jeff is comfortable with his ass crack showing? Okay then.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

What in the MOTHERFUCK is THIS
