Now how do we start tonight’s episode of Impact? A 20-minute match between Christopher Daniels and AJ Styles? How about an announcement that Jarrett, Steiner, Nash and Mick Foley have retired for good? Nope. TNA is all about shaking things up. Therefore, we get something that hasn’t opened every Impact for the last eight f*cking [...]
Surprise, surprise, Impact begins with an in-ring interview. I have no way of knowing if I’m watching a replay until about five minutes into each show.
Kurt, the Godfather, vows revenge on Foley for hitting him with a chair last week. Kurt puts his spot up as Godfather of the main Event [...]
I have had some epic internet problems. I had no internet connection for six days, so this Impact review has been festering on my computer. Hopefully it doesn’t happen again as I was going through crazy wireless withdrawal. Onto Impact.
The same old interview to start the show, this one featuring Jeff Jarrett. The crowd, I [...]
As a complete departure from the familiar, we have ourselves a Main Event Mafia in-ring interview to start us off. Sting wants to talk to Jarrett. Jarrett comes down. Stings wants to known why Jarrett’s been allowing Foley to run wild lately. Jarrett assures Sting he’s still in charge and thinks it’s just all been [...]
All right people, the Impact review is going to be coming out on Saturdays instead of a live report on Thursdays due to some work overlap. At least this will allow me to fast forward through the Russo-rific moments and thus preserve my ever-diminishing sanity.
Impact kicks off with a familiar sight: the 20-minute opening promo. [...]
At Destination X: Sting retained over Kurt, Suicide won the X-Division Championship in the Destination X match. Oh and Scott Steiner was possibly murdered.
Despite a horrid iMPACT last week (which featured a Don West heel turn, a Rhaka Khan match and an attempted murder), TNA’s television ratings remained strong. What do they have in store for their loyal, masochistic viewers this week?
The Main Event Mafia threatens to crumble from within as Angle and Sting can’t get along. After an empty arena brawl between the two settled nothing, this week may bring a resolution.
Tonight: Angle vs. Sting in an empty arena match. On free TV. After a week of outright feuding. Beer Money issues a unique challenge to the TNA roster and Lethal Consequences look to get revenge on the Motor City Machine Guns.
Last week, TNA obliterated all notion of coherence, producing one of the most divisive shows in recent memory. Half the viewers were enraged, the other half watched on with amused horror. See how they follow it up on this edition of iMPACT!
When we left off last week, Kurt Angle had beat AJ senseless while the rest of the Frontline did… Well, nothing. Kurt vowed that the Main Event Mafia was going to take over TNA starting this week. Let’s see how they do it.
After scoring a surprisingly high rating last week, iMPACT is back for more. We have Styles vs. Kurt Angle in a Tables Match and Shelley defends his X-Division Title.
Sting’s knees are shot, Kong’s gimped, Hemme’s hurt, Nash is lucky to be alive, Angle’s neck is, as always, one suplex away from disintegration and Billy Gunn is a main eventer. Welcome to the first iMPACT post-Genesis.
