I had checked out Impact about a half dozen times since they came on Spike TV.
I have been watching pretty consistently since Kurt Angle got arrested or JArrett got sent home and the youth movement started.
I want to see stories that make some amount of sense that lead to matches between wrestlers who look like athletes in the ring. I like a bit of comedy, what is called comic relief in action movies, but that's not a necessity. (I think that the time limit draw is a GREAT way to further a feud and not pin either wrestler. I'd use it with 5-minute "teaser matches" sometimes.)
TNA's production does look cheap, and you can see that the crowd isn't that fired up, but I only notice that when I'm watching and trying to figure out why TNA looks small-time. It's not stopping me from watching, but I think it stops other people.
