TNA Impact Reax #1: "Both main events reek of over-booking possibilities beyond imagination."

Adam J. Grammas of Westchester, Ill. (5.0): Best: Rhino's promo. Worst: ODB segment. Christian's real life decision about TNA or WWE has turned into an opportunity for Rhino to do something. (P.S. Mr. Caldwell, he was calling the MEM, um, female dogs.) It was good to finally see Sting do some of the beat down this week instead of just standing there. Am I the only one that thinks So Cal looks like she's been hit in the face with a frying pan? I already thought it, and then last night they showed her profile, and she has the flattest face I've ever seen. I think Dutt-Lethal is a feud that will last for years, ala Santana-Martel. I hope Lethal & Creed isn't a permanent team because Lethal deserves better than being buried in a tag team. Now that it's been a year since Feast or Fired, it's time to bring back the Fallen Angel. I'm one of the people who loved Curry Man with Shark Boy, but at this point, I want to see Daniels in the current storyline. I don't see the ODB segment being a regular thing. Why would they take Petey out of the storyline right now? Unless they bring him back strong against Steiner, I don't understand it. My guess is after the match between the Guns and Joe/A.J., Joe and A.J. will pick the Guns to be their partners at the PPV. It shows more respeect to the Guns and gives them a chance to show what they can to in a main event spot against four big names. At least I hope so. It's nice to see Rhino rallying the troops. It'll be short, but after putting everybody over, it's nice to see Rhino get a brief chance to shine. The only time he had a chance was the five minutes he got the title when Kev had another stroke or something. He actually looked "big-time" tonight, even for a brief moment. Some good points tonight, but some questions remaining as well.

Terrie Neilson of Las Vegas, Nev. (5.0): Best: Homicide's Rough Cut. Worst: counter-productivity. Tonight was such an eye-roller with me. Rhino meant well with his two promos, but they seemed all kinds of incoherent. I'm not totally sure what the point of the Joe/AJ-Guns match was, as it settled nothing and the Mafia gets another beat down notch on their post. Dutt/Tanahashi-Creed/Lethal was random match that didn't mean much. I hope "Feast or Fired" claims Kip this time around, because he's just furniture for Angelina and Velvet. Come to think of it, Sting is MEM furniture too. The World Champion is so far into the background it isn't funny. I'm really hoping for a subversive reveal because Sting is becoming more and more irrelevant to the very storyline he was a catalyst for. Cornette reversing the X Division decision for referee misbehavior was fine; booking Eric in a Legends title match instead of an X Division re-match was not. And how did Booker "regain" his Legends title when he has yet to lose it? Couldn't they have come up with a better name for ODB's talk show than "ODB's Angle?" ... The stipulations of the PPV main event matches just absolutely blow my mind. I'm not seeing Kurt Angle leaving anytime soon, so why would Jeff Jarrett agree to the stipulation? A.J. getting the title under these circumstances just seems wrong. It would protect Sting to a degree as he doesn't necessarily have to be the one pinned to lose it (my guess would be Steiner), but both main events reek of over-booking possibilities beyond imagination.
