Spoiler: click to toggle Also, unrelated to the above spoiler, but I hope we see Joe tonight. I don't know why they haven't followed up on Joe being kidnapped. You'd think that'd be one of their major questions. You know, show the clip a lot, mention it a lot, have Bischoff say he's looking into it or something. Even say there is an police investigation, maybe. |

I seriously get the feeling that the Hogan/Flair tag match isn't going to happen. It's a bait and switch move and they are going to find a way to keep the match from happening. Also, I think tonight is going to be the night we see Nash or Young turn on the other and join Hall/Pac. When you hear these names, you'd immediately think Nash would turn and realign with Hall/Pac. But I get the feeling that TNA is going to swerve for the sake of swerving and have Young turn heel again. Not that it'll help. No one cares about Young. This last week's Impact was very, very poor. I get the feeling TNA has been saving themselves for this Monday night. Here's hoping they put on a good show. They'll need to since WWE is firing on all cylinders going into WM. |

Could be fun to read, but I'll be too busy channel surfing. I wonder if he'll be in character when he answers questions of if he'll give his actual opinion. |

I suspect a switch of some kind too. Hogan and Flair may start out in the match, but I suspect it will become chaos and get thrown out. Maybe Hogan gets replaced by Sting and Flair by Desmond Wolfe. Seems those two have been getting along lately. I am waiting on a 4 Horsemen style group eventually. |

TNA finally used Sting in a big way. His heel turn was excellent tonight. RVD was incredibly over tonight, almost to the point that it hurt Sting's turn since RVD was getting more love than Sting was getting heat. But that was excellent and the highlight of the show. Angle and Kennedy delivered the second highlight of the show, which is good after their bad impersonation segment last week. I was worried when I saw all those soldiers come to the ring. I thought it was going to be another cheese fest, but it was a strong and entertaining segment. I cannot believe it is 2010 and TNA thought it was a good idea to both OPEN and CLOSE the show with Hogan and Flair wrestling! Both guys bladed to an insane level to make up for the fact that they couldn't move in the ring. Ugh! I will say this, though, the TNA crowd was fucking hot all night long. I switched between the two shows all night long and TNA's crowd was just in your face excited, whereas the crowd at Raw popped here and there but sat quietly for most of the show. |

That didn't take long did it. Brooke Hogan on TNA. So, I DVRed both shows and have now watched both shows. TNA was 1000 times better than Raw tonight. The worst part of Impact was Hulk Hogan and Brooke Hogan. Everytime Hulk showed up, the show just lost something. The short beginning matchup that was just about Sting turning was done pretty well. If they continue to make Sting a true heel, they may be on to something. I just hope they are not planning on Stings heel turn to be on the level Hogans was when he joined the NWO. Impact had a really good flow. I like how they are bringing attention to the X-Division. And, of course, Daniels did the job again. WTF? Then, they drop the ball by trying to get us to buy into Shannon Moore as a big name for a surprise PPV match up. RVD's debut was quite good. He. like Cy said, is very over. And, he beat Sting in less than a minute. Then Sting got his heat back with the baseball bat beatdown. Even the stuff with Jeff Jarrett that I really don't care about got me to watch when they put Beer Money in the match. Angle vs Anderson was good again. As was Pope and Desmond. Still can't believe there is no mention of Joe. If it weren't for Hogan, the show would be great. Edited by Purple Marauder, Mar 9 2010, 05:14 AM.

I don't think they are going to try to make Sting as big of a heel as Hogan was for WCW. I think they are just laying the foundation for Sting vs Hogan at Bound For Glory. And talk about wasted BFG moments. Could you imagine how great a moment it would have been if they would have teased Flair's ring return tonight but had him heel his way out of actually fighting then save his actual ring return for BFG? They'd finally have a big PPV moment that was comparable to a WM moment. |

I don't see Hogan vs Sting at BFG. Hogan could barely make it through tonights match and it was a tag team. He'd never get a good singles PPV match. |

I agree with that. Hogan has no place in the wrestling ring anymore. He could pull off a decent match in his last WWE run, especially when paired with good wrestlers, but now he's just to the point where you can see him wince when he sits or stands. But Sting's heel turn has to have a big moment pay off, right? This is the guy that didn't even truly turn heel when he was a member of the MEM. He stayed outside and watched as everyone did the heel stuff. His attack on Hogan tonight makes it look like TNA wants to build to a Sting vs Hogan match. But if not Hogan, who? |

Probably about 3 weeks before she turns on Hogan and aligns herself with whichever heel. |

I found myself watching Impact more than Raw. Impact was actually fairly solid last night, but RVD's debut could not have went any worse. I understand that TNA wants to put over Sting as a heel, but why at the expense of the hottest guy that just signed with the company? The crowd was chanting his name, hoping that he would be able to make a comeback against Sting, but nothing happened. Bad stuff. One of the most enjoyable segments I thought of the night was the stuff with Pac, Hall, Nash, and Young. The match was not good at all, but Eric Young looked like an animal in the ring. I don't know when TNA started pushing EY so hard, but I completely dug how credible he looked against Pac last night. I missed the main event and Jeff Hardy's shenanigans towards the end of the show because I went to bed. That stuff sounds pretty solid, though, so I may have to give that a look at later. |

Jeff Hardy's on air time was very short. Like less than a minute. He did a run in and was just going for a Swanton when the show went off. Like, it literally cut off in the middle of the action. And I have to disagree with you on the Eric Young push. He was absolutely terrible when he was the leader of World Elite and tried to be TNA's version of Jericho by walking around in suits and using big words in his boring promos. Well, all he's done as face is trade the suit in for a leather jacket and walks around as Kevin's little shadow giving boring promos. He has no personality and a scratchy voice. It's horrible watching this guys pushed so hard. |

I watched more Impact than Raw, but it was pretty much a technicality because I wanted to see TNA's overall show since I haven't seen it in awhile. Like I said before, Hogan has died on me really quickly. The first show was cool, but if I never have to see him again, I would be happy. I like Bischoff's role, and he seems to be doing a pretty good job. I still don't understand what Double J's role is; it just seems like the guy trying to claim that he was the guy who built this company and nobody's doing anything except spit in his face. The four sided ring seems weird to me. I like big butts and I cannot lie. I cannot stand Hall, Pac and Nash. I could care less about Jeff Hardy. The best part was obviously RVD, and I thought the subsequent beat down was good too. Overall, though, even though I don't like half of what they're doing, I like the overall format on the show. The way it's being run makes it seem like anything can happen at any time, which is exciting compared to Raw where it seems like you know what's going to happen. Quick question: will TNA be live every Monday, or is it just this week because it's their first regular Monday night in this time slot? |

What?
You basically have it right. When he returned last year, he came back as the Founder and was basically the top authority figure. You also had Mick Foley as the top investor. So, basically, Jarrett was the McMahon and Foley was the GM of the show. When Hogan and Bischoff came in, Jarrett and Foley both lost their power, immediately. Bischoff is working Jeff over by making him work his way up from nothing. They just came off some sketches where Bischoff made Jarrett work in the cafeteria at the Impact Zone, then as a plumber at the Impact Zone. Foley, on the other hand, is being sent to etiquette school and being made to dress up by Bischoff. Hit or miss stuff.
I think it's going to be an every-other-week thing. They may be live again this coming week, but I think the plan is to air 2 live episodes a month and 2 taped episodes a month.
Forgot to comment on this, but I agree. There are a handful of people that I can identify immediately, but most of TNA's music just blends into the background. Some of it has to do with the songs sounding so generic and some of it has to do with how low TNA plays the songs. |

Eh, every time I flipped back to TNA it was either Hogan or Bischoff. Maybe I didn't stay on the channel long enough. But I did see RVD/Sting confrontation. |

I was going through my review in random snippets and I happened to think about The Beautiful People. Then I wrote that. 
That seems like a pretty cool idea, especially the Foley part. At least it sounds good on paper, not sure if it was hit or miss in my personal view if I didn't see any of it.
I think that's how Raw was too at some point before they went live all week. I guess it's better than taped the entire time. I know if I was Bischoff I would be trying my damnedest to get it live each week. I forgot to mention the Hardy part. Basically, I still don't like him. I don't know what it is, whether it's that stupid haircut or the fact that all he does in his spare time is basically take drugs, but something about him irks me. I mean I liked him in WWE (better without the face paint though), but it seems like there is so much hype over him in TNA for nothing so far. |

Sets up an immediate and huge feud for RVD against Sting. Something I forgot to comment on. When Bischoff was giving his X Division speech, he said he wanted to make it "Bigger, faster, and stronger...if you catch my drift". What was that all about? Was it a hint that bigger guys will be getting the belt while the smaller guys will be phased out? |
