-P-

And now Kurt does singlehandedly what the entire Impact roster couldn't do
Halfway expected someone to knock Kurt out with a blackjack or ether on a rag as the show went off the air.

Really enjoyed the show tonight.
Aries vs. Hernandez, the KO gutcheck match and the main event. King/RVD started out fine but I wish RVD would have just lost after the 450 miss. Glad King's the champion though.
Liked how Sting introduced his Lockdown team, Young looking for revenge after the Aces took him out makes sense. Overall, I was entertained.

To me one of the main differences between WWE and TNA is the fact that the good guys feel like real people from time to time.
Roode getting frustrated with his BFG2011 loss to Angle then seeing his tag partner win the belt. That caused him to snap and become more selfish instead of goody goody.
Storm becoming depressed from his loss to Roode at Lockdown 2012. Leaving the company for a while. Taking time out for himself.
AJ Styles losing that triple threat a few months back. Now he can't get a title shot until the next BFG. So it makes sense for him to be depressed. Not to mention Kaz and Daniels straight up ruining his life. AJ took a break and stopped caring about his appearance.
That's character growth.
I think about this every time John Cena loses a big match then comes right back out on Raw screaming "BOY I'M GLAD TO BE BACK ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW!" I know people remember him before Mania 28 speaking in that empty arena about how much beating the Rock meant to him and then he lost and came right back out the next day. Happy as hell as if it didn't matter.
TNA writing isn't perfect but what they seem to understand is that when people lose something big they get mad. They get frustrated. They get sad and depressed. People change over time based off events that happened to them. I think this is one of the main reasons so many people say that Cena has gotten stale as a character. He just doesn't change and he acts like big losses don't mean anything.

Good observation. Imagine how much more important the rematch would feel if Cena had really hit a new low after Wrestlemania. And he completely should have considering how they had him building the first match as the one he had to win.
At this point, you feel like he's been struggling with not being able to beat CM Punk more than he has losing that match last year.

Right. They're trying to play it like 2012 was so bad for Cena but he just didn't win any titles. He still won a good chunk of matches and he never once doubted himself after losing to the Rock. He's always completely confident and that gets boring. Sometimes the hero needs to feel dejected in order for the crowd to start caring about him again. Heroes going through heartbreak and then bouncing back is interesting. A hero always being confident and never getting depressed or frustrated with his life just gets boring.
I'd have more interest in Rock vs. Cena II if Cena had to build his confidence back up. Nobody's confident all the time, we all get annoyed, frustrated or depressed with things going on in life sometimes and when we overcome that it feels like a big deal.
Now it feels like Cena just lied about having to win the first match(just to build it up) because he knew the second one was coming. At the time we didn't know that though and him losing the first match, falling into depression and begging the Rock to give him a rematch because he NEEDS to beat him could have been an interesting little story building up to the rematch.

Another reason why the Rock is a legit legend and Cena isn't. Hollywood Rock had a ton of jokes and alot of slick talk but when it came time to wrestle Austin again for that last time, he made that shyt more important than anything else going on next to the side story of the fans turning on him. An excellent prematch promo before the match at Mania 19 too.
Cena doesn't have that in him. He's too lazy and too worried about looking a certain way. You can tell by his comments anytime he gets the mic and overhwhelming boos take over and he has that silly look on his face. He's bothered by that shyt real deep. Sad. A very sad individual to be in that top spot.

I just saw Imapct, why they got AJ looking like Jack from Lost during the scene where he's screaming "WE GOTTA GO BACK! WE GOTTA GO BACK!
