That Clown from Outta Town - iMPACT September 23rd 2010

How are TNA going to disappoint me this week? Only one way to find out...

1:33 - At first I was like "Fuck yeah, starting with a match this week", then I was like "Oh, it's Rob Terry..."
2:10 - RVD completely unmarked...maybe he's secretly Wolverine
2:46 - So, the idea behind Abyss' angle is he kidnapped two staff members, tortured and branded them, and instead of having him arrested, or suspending or firing him, TNA just give him a match on the following iMPACT...what is this? What actually is this?
4:12 - I'd love to see Rob Terry and Rob Van Dam start a tag team called "The Robs". That was a lie.
6:11 - Who the fuck put this match together? Terry v Abyss? How did that ever sound like it'd be a good match?
8:28 - RVD does actually have a couple of bandages on...
9:26 - 2 guys = 'wall of security'
10:30 - Fuck, Bischoff...Bischoff and RVD...FUCK
11:44 - I can't wait to see Angle tear RVD's face off and feed it to him
15:53 - BOOORING, BOOORING, BOOORING
17:44 - So far, we've had a boring match followed by two back-to-back boring promos, both involving Bischoff...
18:45 - Followed by a Knockouts promo
19:00 - Followed by a video package about Shannon Fucking Moore
24:34 - They gave that shit the better part of six minutes...I've seen great wrestlers in shitty 3 or 4 minute matches, and they give Shannon Moore six to just flap his jaw and show some old photos? Fuck off, TNA
24:40 - Followed by ANOTHER Pope & Bischoff promo
24:59 - FUCK YEAH JOE v POPE...JOE'S GONNA KILL YOU JOE'S GONNA KILL YOU
25:27 - Gen Me...or one of them at least :)
26:04 - How come RVD get stripped of the title when he gets injured, but Shelley doesn't?
30:33 - Not a bad match, weak pin though - Enziguri followed by a roll-up is enough to put people away nowadays? Since when?
32:11 - Whoo, Wilde & Hamada are back :) 100% chance of Madison getting involved
32:26 - Another fucking Pope promo??
32:49 - And a Jarrett promo...
39:44 - Hello, Madison
41:03 - Much better match by Lacey this week - she was using much more basic moves, but didn't fuck up any of them. There was a botched hurricarana, but that's not exactly basic. First time she's looked like a rookie instead of a wannabe...definite improvement
42:19 - FUCK HIM UP JOE KILL HIM
42:33 - On the one hand, no way can Pope beat Joe, but on the other hand if Joe wins then this match is entirely pointless...I'm gonna say Pope to win by screwjob
47:54 - Nope, Joe wins :D
48:09 - Followed by another boring ringside brawl
49:24 - WHERE IS TEAM 3D?
49:40 - FUCK YEAH SABU v AJ IN A MOTHERFUCKING LADDER MATCH
50:07 - But first, another boring Anderson promo
52:22 - Angle and Anderson in the ring together...they were bitter enemies last time we saw them, wonder if they'll just blow it off like nothing happened?
58:16 - Yup, they're all buddy buddy and shaking hands
63:31 - I love Lethal Lockdowns, as long as Hogan/Bischoff/Flair stay out of it
64:00 - AJ v Sabu in a ladder match :) Surely not even TNA could fuck this up
70:30 - If this is No DQ, why doesn't Morgan just grab Sabu while AJ nips up the ladder?
72:38 - Another fucking ringside brawl
74:41 - And AJ wins it :D I'm supporting Fortune in this feud to be honest, they're all TNA guys and not interlopers...except Foley, he's got a good claim to either faction
75:30 - Followed by a boring conversation between RVD and Hardy...
76:39 - Followed by an OFF FUCKING CAMERA beatdown
79:27 - Followed by a bullshit Abyss promo instead of a proper main event
81:41 - I still have no idea who 'They' are...last time there was a mystery character coming in like this it was Judas Messias, so not anticipating anything great
85:15 - Looked like the sound guys botched the run-in...Abyss was just standing there for no obvious reason for like 30 seconds

Another lame iMPACT. Too much talking, no decent matches despite three which had potential to be awesome. I'm not even angry any more, it's pretty much exactly what I expected.

bit harsh, thought that this week wasn't as bad for bullshit as in previous weeks. Enjoyed seeinh Joe beat Pope, hopefully this will put him up in the rankings, but who knows. The Abyss stuff is beyond stupid, but I did enjoy seeing Rob Terroid getting fucked up, hopefully he'll be out for a while.
I really want Anderson to turn back heel, his nice guy thing is just annoying, I preferred it when he was winding everyone up.
Good to see Hamada back, watched a great match with her on Shimmer (30 or 31 I think) against Daizee Haze and it was awesome.
Hopefully Bound for Glory will be good. Realised we've not had a King of the Mountain match in a while, what happened to them?
