Another good show by TNA in my opinion. The Kurt Angle bit was good, and I'm liking all the marbles on the line with him and Joe at the PPV...Test arrived, and for some reason he seemed to have more character than he showed on WWE. The PPV is shaping up well...I'm digging the Motor City Machine Guns...they ooze the cocky and brashness of a young team. I'm still thinking the guy under the ring will be Mitchell's new acquistion he was talking about earlier.

It was a good show, I thought the matches had a nice flow to them... I still want to see TNA get that 2nd hour so that they don't rush too much through the matches. Other wise this was a good show, can't wait to see the pay-per-view!

Thought the show was decent but in light of the Benoit situtation I dont think this is the right time to do an angle involving a husband with wife and kid in tow who looks like he could snap at any moment.

I'm glad somebody else said that before I did. Except for the fact that hardly anyone watches Impact, I'm surprised none of the "that storyline was tasteless and insensitive" crowd that hounds WWE has spoken out against this angle yet. As for the rest of the show, what little there was, it was pretty bad. The Triple X-Lethal/Dutt match was ok, and it was clearly the high point of the match. The ladder match was weak, but I cannot stand Abyss and wish Sting would go home, so I guess I have a bias. Test, who I have not liked since he feuded with Triple H, adds nothing to this six-man feud, other than another guy on the "face" team that is twice as big as the heel he is feuding with. All in all, this was a pretty bad show, and the Angle family stuff was stupid, pointless and ill-timed. |

haha was wondering where the TNA Haters were. Can't have a positive review without one lol. The Wrestling on the show was good, and Sting is better than he was at the end of the WCW days, so chew on that. LOL

I wasn't thinking about the Benoit thing when I watched the Angle skit but after you pointed it out I agree that it wasn't that great of an idea. If you want to be controversial fine but the murders hit a lot of wrestling fans hard and the ones who see the similarities of the real life event and the angle (get it?  ) might be disgusted by it and take off (especially if they took time off because of the murders and then come back to see this). No slam against anybody but TNA can use all the fan base it can muster. No sense turning anybody away with a potentially harmful Angle. |

It's a wait and see issue with what the general public think, if the ratings remain steady or rise a little then I gather the whole Angle Family skit is okey for them...

I didn't see the good wrestling, other than Triple X's match. As for Sting, one could argue that he has been terrible since taking a year off from the ring during the Starcade build-up, so saying he is better now than in 2001 is not saying a whole lot. |

I don't want to be confused with a TNA hater at all. I actually really like TNA. I am really excited for the PPV. Joe/Angle despite the tasteless angle will be a good match. 3D vs. Steiners is a tagteam dream match despite both teams being well past their primes. XXX vs. Lethal/Sonjay and Motor City MachineGuns will be awesome.

Awesome show. Samoa Joe is the best wrestler ever (in TNA of course).
