Note: Well their PPV was not bad but it was not good either. So how do you make a show better? Hopefully TNA will answer this question tonight. I am not bashing TNA but hoping to see better things from this promotion. I mean you have a champion that is not getting buried by other talent. You don't have a tag team champion that isn't two bad wrestlers. You do have a bad KO champion but that might change. You don't have a bad TNA X Division Champion. So basically is TNA going to be better. We will see. Tonight is the building of something better. Here we go with TNA Impact...
Match#1: Gunner vs. Mr. Anderson
Winner: Gunner
(I will admit that how this match was setup was different. I mean using high card to make a main event was a silly thing but a good way to be fresh and creative. Seeing this match first was like seeing two mid carders be given one shot at being the main event. I wished Anderson won but Gunner is the younger man and also the better candidate for facing Bobby Roode later on during the night. This was a good match to see again because these men are good to watch. Both of these men are not mid carders but TNA main eventers. )
Match#2: Bobby Roode vs. Gunner - #1 Contender Match
Winner: Bobby Roode
(I will admit that Bobby Roode is the best TNA got right now. He is the perfect heel. He is not a good face but a good heel. He is also the only man in TNA that can make a match great. This was a good match because both men did not fake it. This match was pure action. Gunner is an intense guy and Roode is flawless. So seeing Roode vs. EY tonight is going to be good for business in TNA. )
Match#3: Willow vs. James Storm
Winner: Willow by DQ
(Yawn. I wished Storm won clean but wasn't bored seeing Anderson take out Storm. This was not a good match for Storm. Moving on....)
Match#4: The Wolves and Sanada vs. BroMans and Zema Ion
Winners: The Wolves and Sanada
(I cannot wait for The Wolves to have a good match with a good team. Tonight was not it. Sanada is just there. This was not boring but I will just move on because I don't have much more to say about this match. )
Main Event: Eric Young vs. Bobby Roode - TNA World Heavyweight Title Match
Winner: Eric Young
(I will admit that this was a good match. EY and Roode had a good match. I mean there was lots of action and twists. However, the thing about this match was that this could have been better. Why? EY had a shitty hardcore match with Abyss. So you mean Roode is not good for a hardcore title match? I will also admit that my expectation of this match was skewed because I was expecting something cool or bad to make this match end quickly. No luck. Time to end the review. )
Final Thoughts: What is worse than knowing the matches and the winners before the show comes on? Simply knowing that TNA is not trying to be better is worse. If you don't know, for the next few weeks TNA taped their shows for most of May. I am going to still be doing reviews of TNA without knowing the results. This show could have been better because they could have had more matches. Also less backstage stuff. TNA should have learned that having more is good because less suckes. See you all for WWE Smackdown...
