I can barely remember what happened on the last iMPACT, there's no storylines I actually give a fuck about. What I do know is, Angle ought to be wrestling Wolfe at the PPV according to his fighting-the-top-ten-one-by-one angle. I want to see this feud kick off tonight, and immediately get heated and nasty. And I want to see them start the show with an actual wrestling match. They managed it last week (basically), so they can do it this week too.0:21 - Oh yeah, Abyss went mental, now I remember...it'll be 'Why,
1:11 - Fuck, here comes Hogan :( I was hoping for a match. iMPACTs that are Hogan/Bischoff heavy are usually shite...I can feel the interest draining from my body by the second.
3:00 - Oh shut up and get to the point, Hogan.
3:42 - Four way at the PPV. Will be shit.
4:27 - FUCK YEAH ABYSS FUCK HIM UP
4:39 - And with his old entrance music too :D
5:52 - Why,
7:13 - I don't know who 'they' are...the last 'they' was Hall and Pac and we all know how that turned out, so I'm not hugely optimistic about what's gonna happen when 'they' get here.
8:46 - Abyss heel turn :) He's finally the Monster again, not the friendly fucking giant...
9:26 - Abyss feeding Hogan his own ring...weird but kinda hilarious
10:25 - Ugh, RVD always shows up when something good is about to happen and ruins it
13:05 - OH GREAT HOGAN TALKING TO BISCHOFF, THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN A WRESTLING MATCH
14:52 - Knockouts - not fast forwarding
20:05 - That was a lot worse than last week's match - shoulda fast forwarded
21:17 - I have no idea who Lethal is talking to - American celeb or something?
23:37 - I wanna see Joe run in and fuck this dude up
24:35 - Come on, Joe...Morgan's annoying me
26:10 - Joe didn't kill him :(
26:23 - Homicide is going to die
27:14 - Yup, dead
28:06 - Finally, a proper match...only took half an hour. Kaz v Lethal, could be awesome
32:13 - Oh, it was Lethal's brother earlier...now getting battered by Flair and AJ...looks like they're actually bothering to build a decent angle around the shitty match they have booked for the PPV...
33:12 - Nice reversal to that low blow :) This match is pretty decent for iMPACT
34:38 - Cool match, as usual for iMPACT was way too short, but what they did have was good
36:04 - FFS, Sting v Jarrett again...I hope there's another pre-match battering
37:05 - Damn, looks like he'll make it to the ring safe and sound
37:45 - Bet this match gets more than 5 minutes, unlike any other two wrestlers on the roster
39:05 - I'm sure this exact same shit happened like 2 months ago
40:22 - How the hell did Jarrett not see Sting, clearly standing in the corner of the ring? Still, new twist on 'Jarrett goes up to the rafters after Sting'
42:02 - Cool 'match', more of a promo really...and under 5 minutes too :) I hope the rest of the show is a 40 minute long triple threat match between Joe, Wolfe and Angle, though.
44:01 - IT BEGINS
45:13 - Why the fuck is Chelsea still with Wolfe? This angle is fucking stupid, she can just leave whenever she wants, she doesn't want to be there, so what's the point of her being there?
46:29 - Wait, so the #9 contenders match is on iMPACT with no fanfare whatsoever? WHAT THE FUCK TNA, this should be the biggest match on your fucking PPV, WHAT THE CHRIST ARE YOU DOING? I can only assume that Wolfe will win by DQ or something to kick-start the feud, this cannot be the whole thing.
46:50 - And the commentators are more interested in Abyss than the fucking match...I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here
49:45 - Wolfe's clearly got something in his elbow pad...not sure if it's a weapon or if he's gonna blade
53:57 - Ok, that was pretty good...but I can't believe that's the whole thing. Bullshit. I was looking forward to possibly feud of the year, and it's a one-shot throwaway match on iMPACT with no drama and no reason to care whatsoever.
56:52 - Doug's on the mic and I'm too pissed off about Angle v Wolfe to even care :( Sorry, Doug.
60:28 - Ultimate X and I don't even care :(
61:05 - Abyss promo, and I don't even care :(
62:38 - Shannon fighting Bubba, and I don't even care :(
63:34 - Tag Team semi finals match and I don't even care :(
65:57 - Tommy Dreamer, and I don't even care. I don't care about Raven either. I have to admit, however, that Stevie Richards' presence raises my spirits slightly.
67:05 - Jesse finally shows up :)
66:51 - How much cooler would it have been if TNA had hired Bryan Danielson instead of Dreamer, Raven and Richards?
70:00 - Beer Money get a title shot, and I don't even care :(
71:10 - AJ talking to Kaz and I really don't care.
72:07 - Shitty main event coming up, and I don't even care :( Abyss is going to have to actually decapitate Anderson to get me interested in this, I think.
81:28 - Match over, nothing decent happened - or maybe I was just too pissed off to enjoy it...either way, I was yawning through most of it
83:52 - Exact same ending two weeks in a row.
Wasn't a bad iMPACT, but the way they dealt with Angle v Wolfe was bullshit. When they had their poll, the fans overwhelmingly voted for Wolfe, so clearly this could have been built up into a massive PPV match, but instead it just happened and was over with no build up or anything. Such a fucking waste that the rest of the show was ruined.
TNA have given me no reason to tune in next week at all. There's no ongoing feuds that I actually care about that were advanced in any way this week, all of the matches were short and below TNA's pre-Hogan standards, they're pissing all of their talent up a wall and putting people that nobody gives a fuck about (according to TNA's own poll) main event spots ahead of popular wrestlers that people want to see. In fact, the only decent thing TNA are doing right now in my eyes are the Angle angle (so far it's been good overall, even if this week's development was a piece of shit), the tension in 3D because of Bubba's attacks on Jesse, and Jay Lethal finally getting some airtime. Everything else could have been edited out, and nothing of value would have been lost.
And Joe's still AWOL with no explanation.

I wasn't sold on this Impact, far too much talking. Took half hour for a match to happen and I usually find backstage promos pretty dull unless something unusual or interesting is happening.
Was so pissed off with the Angle/Wolfe match, and with the Lethal/Kaz match how in the middle of a match they cut to AJ and Flair kicking Muhammed Lethal. The video at the end of the match would have been sufficient.
Anyway, the ECW Originals could be completely shite, or awesome depending on what they do with it. Hoping for an all-out takeover, with Foley at the helm... but I'm not that lucky.
Anyways, off again for a few weeks, will be back 2-4 weeks.
Socko
The ECW Originals will be shit, and they're idiots for promoting a brand name that is now owned by WWE. But that's always been a problem for TNA, trying to bring in big names to help them get recognition when they ought to be building their home grown talent into big names.
Good luck with your RL stuff :)
