Note: This past week's WWE Raw show was very lacklustered and very bland. With that said, it is time for TNA Impact to show some of us as wrestling fans what they can do to make wrestling entertaining again. I only say that because we all know that WWE is on cruise control at this time of the year. Well seeing this is TNA, we will see something come about with Title Tournament and AJ Styles and the real TNA championship. Basically, it is going to be an interesting show. So time to watch TNA Impact...
Match#1: Jeff Hardy vs. Bobby Roode - Tables Match/Semi-Finals for the TNA Title Tournament
Winner: Jeff Hardy
(As you know, I think Jeff Hardy is old and tired. I rather have saw Roode win because he is better and also more feasable as a title contender. Even watching this match was hard because it was a set up for Hardy to win. I really want to know why TNA wants to see Hardy as a champion. Hardy is not a good main eventer. He is mid card or less. The restart of this match should have helped Bobby Roode but it didn't. Bobby Roode will be in the title picture in 2014. I hope. )
Match#2: Ethan Carter III vs. Earl Hebner
Winner: Ethan Carter III
(No fucking comment! Moving on...)
Match#3: BroMans (Jesse Godderz and Robbie E.) vs. James Storm and Gunner
Winners: BroMans by DQ
(Another match that I have nothing to say. Moving on...)
Match#4: Gail Kim vs. Laura Dennis
Winner: Gail Kim
(Well I feel this was a jobber match for Gail Kim. Even though the girl she was facing was a hottie and could be made for WWE divas division. This was not Gail Kim's best match but this was more watchable than the two earlier matches. I know we will see ODB and Lei'd Tapa wrestle soon but someone needs to step up to face Gail Kim. )
Main Event: Kurt Angle vs. Magnus - Last Man Standing/Semi-Finals for the TNA Title Tournament
Winner: Magnus
(This would have save the show and could have been the best match of the night. However, this match could not save the show but it was good until the ending. Angle was on the ropes. Magnus was doing everything he could to win. This was better than the opening match because this was not setup for anyone. Both men had to do more in this match. I figured that Bobby Roode would help Magnus win just to piss off Angle. If this ended cleanly, Magnus could have taken out Angle.)
Final Thoughts: Well it is weird to say this was a good show. It was not a good show. Two matches does not make a good show. This show is two hours but feel like most of everything would fit into one hour. Bad Influence couldn't save this show. All the 365 segments make this more of a reality show than a wrestling program. I am not trying to be critical of TNA but it is sad to see so much comedy and less action. Good night all, see you for WWE Smackdown...
