Off Air Notes From Impact
Posted by Larry Csonka on 03.09.2010

What happened when the show ended?

Credit: Trevin Adams and Pwinsider.com

The live show in the Impact Zone ended with the faces in the ring doing Hogan pose downs. Everyone but Pope left at once with Pope selling the injury. As you probably heard on TV the crowd went nuts for Hardy. Overall a fun show but it lacked a little thing called wrestling most of it. Live crowd was nuts!

"Overall a fun show but it lacked a little thing called wrestling most of it. Live crowd was nuts!" -Trevin Adams_

Great episode of Impact!!! Absolutly superb episode of Impact.

With the "lack" of wrestling. It's crash TV. TNA Impact is crash tv, you are going to have to live with that.

They had plenty of Wrestling last night.

And, If you put too much wrestling, that Impact zone crowd will probably be a little bored.

I flipped over to Raw to watch wrestling...I was bored.

I flipped back to TNA to watch Scott Hall say "Hey Yo!" I was happy!

Scott Hall saying Hey Yo > than average WWE wrestling match on Raw.

You have to love how hardy comes out, sets up the swanton and as he is going up the turnbuckle and you get amped to see him hit this........they go off air. WTF.

clusterf#ck!

It also lacked sense. Why was RVD and Hardy there? (Besides for the desperate rating push)

Posted By: Guest#3491 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 10:10 AM

I actually thought the amount of wrestling was good. Maybe not all 4 stars but it was good.
And that main event was actually really good and had no business being that way.
I am starting to dig the "new" AJ and I'm seriously hoping that Desmond, AJ, and maybe Morgan and one other person (Tomko maybe) form a stable with Flair as their mouth piece. It's time for a dominant stable that can let their ring work do the talking.

Posted By: Guest#8447 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 10:10 AM

um...from what they showed on air there was over 40 minutes of wrestling or wrestling like action (in ring beatdowns [not in ring promos])...

so i'm not really getting the whole smarky attitude thing of...
"duh...there weren't 'nuff wrestlen'..."

Posted By: Guest#5386 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 11:05 AM

But the questions everyone wants to know... Did anyone fall down and break their hip?? Have a drug relapse???

Posted By: Guest#4219 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 11:09 AM

It lacked a little thing called "wrestling"? So you're saying it's following in the tracks of wwe?

Posted By: Thomas (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 11:19 AM

How can you say that show lacked wrestling? It had more of it than a normal week of Impact...

Posted By: AT (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 11:40 AM

They went nuts because Brooke Hogan was giving out free BJ's the entire show.

Posted By: Guest#7244 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 11:56 AM

Gotta say this: RVD got probably the biggest ovation ever from a TNA crowd. For 1,000+ people, it may have even rivaled reactions from WWE crowds that are 20x larger. That's impressive.

Posted By: Brad B (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 01:30 PM

heel aj sucks. hes far too giddy to be taken seriously.

Posted By: Morgan Fisher (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 01:30 PM

"What happened when the show ended? "

Jeff Hardy finished his Swanton I presume.

Posted By: KSutton (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 01:40 PM

It sure as hell beat watching RAW last night though. I say this as a WWE fan as well. Last night's RAW was very disappointing considering what a big night it was for the industry as a whole. The "E" has become complacent and although they won't be in danger of going out of business anytime soon, they do need to step up their programming. Too many dumb Santino and Hornswaggle segments. The guest host thing has to go also. Also, I think they need to make Randy Orton the top face in the company soon as he has that "tweener/anti-hero" thing going for him. I'm betting the brand split is erased by year end and they get back to one brand with one world champ, one mid-card champ (IC), and one set of tag champs. I'm hoping TNA continues to improve and provide interesting wrestling programming.

I actually thought it was better for the lack of wrestling. All they needed to do was get rid of that atrocious f'n x-div match, and we'd have had something!

Posted By: doctormoneymd (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 02:31 PM

Just in the x-division title match there was more wrestling than the entire raw show!!!!

Posted By: ftw924 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 03:11 PM

Sorry folks...we're outta time!

Posted By: Big Tony (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 03:59 PM

Flair...Styles...Sting...Wolfe. Horsemen 2010. Book it!

Posted By: JJ Dillon (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 04:58 PM

lot of old men on that show

Posted By: 4t (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 05:37 PM

I'm liking the thought of a Flair led group. However, I would keep Desmond Wolfe away from them and put him with Williams, Magnus and Burchill when his 90 days are up.

For Flairs stable, I'd rather see Styles joined by Matt Morgan in the Sid Vicious / Barry Windham role and Beer Money in the Andersons / Arn&Tully role, with Flair taking the JJ Dillon position as manager of the New Horsemen.

Stables need to make a comeback in wrestling. No bigger than four members though, or it gets into nWo territory, with too many members.

Posted By: The Truth of it All (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 06:04 PM

When Dixie had that confrontation with Sting, she looked great/It was great as well as RVD's match.

I cannot beleive TNA came out with 1.0. I keep reading positive and more positive about TNA's yesterdays show. I read another site and people voted more, more like 25% more for TNA. (sescoops). They have a poll everyone can vote on, I voted. Then it gave me a feedback.. I do not think they would lie. I do not know where the 1.0 came from.

I wonder if this site is owned by the WWE?

Posted By: Billy jack (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 06:15 PM

Yes, TNA has turned more into the WWE and yes, I was on that bashed WWE for their lack of wrestling in favor of "entertainment". But, I'm not going to be one of the ones who now praises TNA for last night's show. I quit watching WWE long ago and now, I'm done with TNA as well.

Posted By: Guest#0195 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 08:54 PM

For years TNA fanboys bashed WWE because of the lack of wrestling on their shows. And now that TNA followed WWE in removing wrestling in favour of "entertainment" they suddenly claim how awesome their show is. Make up your minds!

I hope both shows pick up as the weeks go by, but i am very disappointed with both shows right now.

Posted By: Guest#2217 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 12:18 PM

Can you really pinpoint which people who comment on this site are being hypocritical over a multi-year time frame?

Posted By: Gozzo (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 09:07 PM

I've had the same thought as the guys who suggested a Flair-led stable. With Styles already aligned and Wolfe consistently helping out, they've really already got 3 Horsemen. With Tomko (though they'd HOPEFULLY make an effort to reconcile the fact that he was just attacking AJ a couple months ago) or maybe Morgan (though this would have to be after the split with Hernandez) as an enforcer, it'd make a wicked team. Or, really, Sting would be just fine too. A group doesn't need a giant if they can make up for it with conniving ruthlessness.

Seconded:
Horsemen 2010
Flair, Styles, Wolfe, Sting

Posted By: Guest#1636 (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 09:45 PM

Sting/Flair/Styles vs. Hogan/Abyss/RVD would have been the money main, if they'd have gone a different direction. Oh well, there's always Lockdown, where you can then add Wolfe/Pope, Angle/Anderson, whatever to the Lethal main.

Posted By: Nate (Guest) on March 09, 2010 at 03:16 PM

Wow, I don't follow TNA barely at all and even I know that the Pope is facing AJ in the main event for the title. You must be a real f'n retard, Nate!
