So like... to make a mathematical equation out of this.

Say you start with 100.

Take in consideration that off hand, the fact that its TNA and cats just gonna naturally by default hate it regardless no matter the circumstance (DB couldve debuted to face CM Punk, Ibushi and Kenny Omega in a 4 way match, with Rock taking on Lashley, or some other shyt and niccas would still hated) .

Take 60 from that and then factoring other plus minus shyt, it probably lands at about a 28 grade.

Which is indeed terrible but again that pre opinion -60 default bias is significant and something hard for them to overcome

TNA never changes, doesn't matter who is in charge :heh:

Went all the way up to Canada & still tried their hardest to make the building look like the Impact Zone. Did the same PPV main event finish they always do, which is goofy since they do 2 live PPVs a year & still don't change the formula.

Decent show...I was dying at some of botches on this shyt.


And then that backstage promo with EC3, Eddie and Storm where the audios clearly fukked up and Eddie starts talking all soft spoken and shyt and out of nowhere Storm starts SCREAMING and the audio starts crackling up badly the louder he gets :russ::deadmanny:

I'm legit offended and saddened the Eddie Edwards is holding the same belt held by Misawa/Kobashi/Takayama/Nagata/Suzuki/Sasaki and essentially inheriting the Triple Crown legacy before 2000.

Now that I think about it, they treated this more like one of those Impact episodes they show live.
Yeah was surprised with how underwhelming it was the first thing was the aesthetic, if this is the new arena for impact going forward that's fine but at least make the effort to change things up for what is suppose to be the biggest show of the year. It looked like one night only

The xdivision match on the go home show was better than what we saw, just a weird pace and miscues abound

Bummer that there was no bloody mary match but I am shocked bytch can just say personal reasons and it's like ok see you in January

Ichihiro's match was aight/did not care for the abyss stuff. As monsters ball go he seemed :flabbynsick:Grado is another in a long line of irritant mascot like characters like santino, eugene, Eric young, swoggle that I just detest

What was the point of the 6 man tag with Eddie, ec3 and storm? We have seem it x4 in 3weeks.

5150 street fight was such a let down and I can't be the only one that felt OVE "turned" if not that was:patrice: booking

The Knockouts match was:russell: no chemistry at all. And the finish was anticlimactic...Its like most of these performers did no rehearsals and just said let's just go out there and call audibles..

The steelcage match was the only match in the show that really brought it, that match was more entertaining than it had any business being. I scratch my had sometimes how Lambert could let his fighters take bumps so close to fights

Main event was:russell: the novelty of seeing johnny has worn off. Much like RVD but to a worse degree seen 1 match seen them all. Same choreograped flippy nonsense all the time. Drake is a snooze too.. Was not a fan of how Alberto was booked as superman last time, did not miss him 1 bit

All in all it was forgettable and the crowd were sitting on their hands for most of the night. Unless they filmed numerous Impact shows prior that is deflating

They've done a great job of building up this PPV. Every match seems interesting and has a good storyline. This is why I miss the WWE having fewer PPV events and having enough time to properly hype up feuds.
it's not the amount of ppvs that impedes the E from properly hyping/building feuds, it's the lack of characters/non coherent booking and lack of continuity to matches/programs or anything really..Look at the crap with Emma, she's on her way out and you book her like that against asuka? When for the longest time she's been a scrub?:why:

I am guessing it's "cosmetic"
