10. A thought, Americans aren’t the only viewers. maybe hype a guest up a little so people overseas actually know who they are. all i got was that this guy was “Super Dave” and he was plugging a show on spike TV. No idea who “Super Dave” actually is, or what he does. (sure, i could Google, but i figure someone will enlighten me here).
9. I’d like to quote Mick Foley. “The Knockouts have to dress appropriately”. Please, oh please can that memo make it to The Beautiful People ASAP. Wonder if they’re going in a different direction because this week most of the Knockouts were a lot more covered than usual.
8. I doubt I was the only person to get excited over Raven appearing on TNA again. Hopefully he actually sticks around longer this time.
7. Daffney is a prime example of why i appreciate the diversity of the Knockouts division. That woman is so out there. But she does it well, and pairing her up with the crazies of the roster is a good move.
6. Oh dear. I loved the Hart Foundation and Jim Neidhart, but he isn’t in the greatest shape anymore. Doesn’t seem like he can move in the ring too well. (Though his strength is still there & it was nice to see him on TV again).
5. I’m actually hoping that legends showing up on TNA to battle with Jay Lethal won’t be the death of him. If he goes under each week to some people who were amazing in their time and shouldn’t be in the ring these days, it may just destroy him.
4. Steiner is obviously in denial. The only person around still wearing MEM merchandise and saying they still exist. It would be nice to see someone hit him over the head repetitively shouting “its dead” would be great TV at some stage.
3. They have done a good job with pushing the Angle / Wolfe feud. It could have been brushed aside and ignored but they’ve picked up the ball here and are running with it. Which is nice to see.
2. For once I agree with JB. The X division guys are definitely worth giving TV time to. They could sell PPV’s given half a chance.
1. Turning point has actually shaped up with a great card so far. The first hour of the show was a little bit of a letdown with very little that added to the PPV. But they got there in the second hour.

I’ve never been a fan of TNA. I watch, then stop, then watch again down the road, then stop. I decided to give it another shot since I’m so damn bored with WWE with the exception of a few stars.
Last week’s TNA did nothing for me as usual, but this week I saw something. It’s so simple, but what the E is missing out on. There are at least 10 or so feuds going on right now that seem to have heat (fake heat, albeit). The E doesn’t have that true to form feud going on anywhere except maybe Morrison and Ziggler. There’s no continuity, and the title chases on each brand are just kind of thrown together for the 4th biggest Pay Per View of the year no less. DX vs. Cena? Are you effing kidding me? Is this so they don’t lose the 8-13 year old viewers?
They either do that, or they shove something down your throat way too long and way to much as with Cena and Orton that no one cared anymore. I guess unless you’re 8-13. Maybe that’s my problem.
But back to TNA….not saying that it’s good, but the little feuds going on actually give me some reason to possibly care. So we’ll see where it goes for now. Although I could live the rest of my life without another 13 minute 3D promo. God I hate Brother Ray.
To answer your Super Dave question, he is a stuntman and comedian.

Forgot to add a sentence: His younger brother is actor Albert Brooks.
Unless Super Dave’s show is going to be aired overseas, they probably didn’t care much if anyone there knows who he is. He was there to promote his new show on SpikeTV, probably not out of any wishes of TNA. Just part of the bargain of working with a network.
