Let me start by saying this. I am not going to start fully watching TNA Impact, until Kevin Nash, Sting, or Jeff Jarret is gone. Collectively, they suck. I did catch the last match of the night.
Angle vs Hardy. This was a rematch of their No Surrender match, which I'm hearing was good, but ended due to a cut on Angle's Head? The match was initially a draw at 20 minutes, and Bischoff kept adding on 5 Minutes. So rematch on impact, It's good to see Angle looking and wrestling well. I cant really get behind his whole serious wrestling demeanor. It takes away some of his skill set, and gives him a one-dimensional character. Jeff Hardy has totally stopped working out, his hair is short, slowly turning into Raven. Jeff Is just about a member of the T-shirt brigade.
Aside from the nit-picking, these two can wrestle with the best of them. Though Hardy is being slowed down by his poor fitness. Really good match for TV, and the crowd was into it. The introductions were much better than in the past, TNA has gotten rid of the tunnels, and has more of a Titan tron look to the entrances. The ramp was gone? Thank god. Also, they ran the match well past 11pm. Thats the kind of things fans like. It's a small, unexpected aspect to the show, but encouraging.
Just when the match, is going well, and I'm interested to see who is going to win, double ankle locks. Oh no, Hebner and his son in the ring. Perfectly double-timed 3 count, because both wrestlers backs are on the canvas. Wow, what a shitty ending. But wait, that's not the worst part! During the match, the camera kept panning to Dixie Carter sitting in the front row. Am I really seeing this, a middle aged woman trying to act sincerely interested in the match. Her Facial expression told nothing. I was thinking "what is going on." The whole time she was holding a white IPhone in her hand, looking so unprofessional and stupid. Till the day he dies, you will never see Vince pulling that kind of amateur bullshit.
On Guest commentary for the match was Mr Anderson. He didn't add to much. Why? Because he is not a big star, never will be. TNA will not be able to shape him into a headliner, they cant do it with anybody. Mr. Anderson is not going to put butts in the seats. Suprised, that Taz said the word "asshole" on the air, not something you hear often. Anderson has it written on the back of his tight- A**hole? That is weak, something that belongs in backyard wrestling.
After the show, on Reaction, I did catch some of The Pope, he is good. Great talker. Refreshing to hear someone talk realistically and clearly about wanting to win the World Championship Belt. Couldn't possibly watch any more of that show, with the previews showing backstage interviews with Jarret and Carter. Switch!
Side note, I guess there is some supposed static with Matt Hardy and the WWE right now. Some different rumors going around. Started with talk of Matt being sent home from a show. I sat through one of his YouTube videos addressing the recent rumors. Yup, Matt's taking drugs.
