Not sure if you haters watched it but TNA Impact was top notch tonight and it blew RAW out of the water.
Highlight of the night: RVD is the surprise opponent for Sting, he sneak attacks STing, gets the win but Sting goes out of control and assaults RVD violently and repeatedly. Hogan and the officials are outraged but Sting beats them up with the bat too. Heel Sting stole the show tonight. For sure!

Impact was better than anything i’ve watched in the last five years, maybe longer. yeah some things were predictable, but i’ve given up, it’s wrestling, they’ve done so many things so many times that its hard not to know whats gonna happen. it was the same ole method they use when bringing in somebody, but in my opinion, at least it was better than what the other show did. now let’s just see if they can do it again next week…

32 fucking people no scratch that 32 fucking marks voted raw better than impact if you’re just going to vote for raw anyway then don’t bother voting let wrestling fans vote not wwe marks!
also bring steiner back as an announcer or a commentator it would be great to hear
“and this white trash redneck is gonna piledrive the other one how the hell am I supposed to know their names” truly classic

This site is full of a$$holes and WWE marks. Very few wrestling fans here. I swear some people are out to bash TNA due to their cult like loyalty to WWE. Funny how in the last 5 years WWE have been adopting practices that “apparently” put WCW out of business.

The Stinger stole the show last night! And Raw got wiped up by Impact last night…I was watching both and by both I mean I found myself watching Raw when Impact was on a break. Keep it up TNA and let the Stinger become a monster heel!

TNA definately stepped up their game. The whole band vs EY and Nash looks like a set up but the way Waltman and EY went at it, you couldn’t have asked for a more “real” looking match.
The whole Pope vs Bow wow has to end can’t they get these two anyone else to wrestle and build a story line with and when will the Flair n style stable get bigger?
Also why no mention of Samoa Joe? WTF? also during the whole X div to throw peeps off they should have shown SUICIDE to create the mystique.
All in all TNA was way more enjoyable and you have to like the fast pace compared to the blah blah blah of WWE.

Hulk Hogan and Flair in the Main event?? That was embarassing. They cannot move no less wrstle anymore. Where was Samoa Joe??? TNA HAD an opportunity to make noise, but it really is WCW all over again. Do we really need Bischoff on screen all night??? Scott Hall?? X-Pac??? Nash???
TNA is rather pathetic.

It’s pretty sad Steiner got released, but Hall and Waltman are on TV. Scott Steiner can still wrestle a match, and for sure cut a promo better than those old junkies.

Whats sad is Steiner should be with the band since he was NWO. Am I the only one smelling a new version of the four horsemen??? Remember when they formed it was because they were inadvertantly helping one another sucker the baby face wrestlers. Look at Wolfe doing Flair and Style’s bidding(like Tully Blanchard? anyone??) Flair = J.J. Dillion. Styles= Ric Flair. Wolfe= Tully Blanchard… Daniels= Arn Anderson… who should be Ole Anderson?? Samoa Joe?? Brian Kendrick?? Paul London?? Austin Aries?? Anyone have suggestions??

That would beat the hell out of another NWO return. MEM was almost a cheap version of NWO.

I’m surprised that Steiner didn’t come to the ring and tell the fans to buy an MEM t-shirt.

Yeah Joe would fit in good. Chelsey would be the equivalant of Baby Doll. I think TNA has the talent, Just not the brains(Jobbing out Daniels was lame). I see a lot of similaraties and potential. Motro City Machine Guns= Rock’n'Roll Express. Generation Me= The Rockers. Jeff Hardy= 1980′s Sting. Hernandez= Magnum T.A. Matt Morgan = A young Andre The Giant. Kurt Angle= Harley Race. Abyss= Hogan I guess? Mr. Anderson= Roddy Piper. Robert Roode= Rick Rude. James Storm= BlackJack Mulligan. Team 3-D =Wild Samoans. What we need is a Road Warriors like team. My suggestion is to use Snistky and either wait for Mike Knox to be released or go after A-Train, Luther Reigns, or god forbid Heidenreich. That or just use Tomko if he loses the extra weight!! What do you guys think?
