TNA Impact Reax #1: "A lot of things were happening, but nothing was going on." Apr 4, 2008 - 1:33:16 PM
Terrie Neilson of Las Vegas, Nev. (5.0): Best: Storm promo. Worst: Where do I begin? Maybe I'm burnt out from WrestleMania weekend, but I went from seeing Shelton Benjamin and Shawn Michaels crash and burn to watching Crash TV and my brain couldn't take it. A lot of things were happening, but nothing was going on. There was talk of Lockdown, sure, but most of it was at high volume. Jeremy Borash as tabloid reporter is a lame way to interview; at this point I'm wishing for a Kurt Angle sparring match with J.B. Matches for Lockdown seemed to just materialize, particularly the idea for the women's match that looks like Jim Cornette looks to be taking from Matt Morgan. And what is Morgan doing anyway? Can't seem to decide his function one minute to the next. Scott Steiner's going to finally cash in his world title shot... just can't see that match being any good regardless of opponent and this whole thing with Petey Willimas has so lost me. Rules for matches keep changing, matches didn't mean a whole lot in the moment, and if it weren't for me taking any notes, I couldn't tell you what all happened tonight. I could go on, but tonight's show clearly illustrates why it has major miles to go before it can catch WWE on its worst day. And Sunday night was far from WWE's worst day.
Herb CalfRobe of Vancouver, Wash. (0.0): I hate you TNA Impact. I rate this show a big fat ZERO (0). Dear TNA people who vomit up a carrot and corn filled "wrestling" show. You have no idea how to do anything,at all....ever. I couldnt find my TV remote and contemplated ramming my face into my TV screen just to get you out of my living room. I feel like you violated my rights as a human being. I had to take a boiling hot shower to feel clean again. I wish Doc Brown would show up with the Delorean. I would take it, go back in time, and watch Simpsons reruns. Let us make a small list of why tonight's show sucks: (1) Bad editing; (2) One match in the first 53 minutes of the show; (3) Using the misfortune of a "Highlander" to plug your stupid mobile do-dad thingy; (4) One match with a clean finish (that being the Austin rip off tuna character) or no post-match stupidity; (5) The stupid announcers talking about everything but the match. Stop doing what you are doing. Please! ECW looks like WrestleMania every tuesday compared to you. Spike TV, please cancel these clowns.
