    Sky "enjoys" the TNA Immortal Era

    Impact February 10, 2011 - Fortune Favours the Faces As much as I bashed the poor planning behind the twist on last week's Impact, at least it should signal a major change. Namely, the fact that you have some actual main event-level faces now. AJ Styles in particular could easily be the one...

    Impact February 3, 2011 - They're Here... Again Sky's note: holy shit I forgot I had started this. Most of this was written in June. Let's hope I still have the mojo. Also, RIP Daffney So, turns out the biggest bombshell for TNA came not during one of their events, but at the Royal Rumble...

    Impact January 27, 2011 - Gonna Make You An Offer... Guess who's back, back again? I picked a pretty exciting show to come back on, given how much they've been building to the February 3 edition. It's like this is a go-home show. The recap guy clearly has no idea about this, as he focuses on...

    Impact January 20, 2011 - Championships are Temporary, jarrett is Forever Opening video is focusing on jarrett vs. Angle, as if there isn't a feud over the title that closed off last show. jarrett's ranting about Angle playing backstage politics, which is rich from someone who has only ever...

    Sky "enjoys" the TNA Immortal Era

    Impact January 13, 2011 - Getting Better, As A-Hole Genesis was a pretty okay show, right? And obviously, the opening recap focuses on the fallout. Morgan gives himself too much credit for Anderson's title win, despite trying his hardest not to seem like he's giving himself credit. Anderson...

    Genesis 2011 - Invisible Touch (She Reaches In, And Grabs A Hold Of Your PPV Money) The opening package for this is a real treat, in that it's mostly made up of the interviews we saw on the go-home, and it features zero reference to the fact that the main event's backstory has been based on...

    Sky "enjoys" the TNA Immortal Era

    Impact January 6, 2011 - Right on Time Happy New Year, everyone... It's interesting to see how much Impact has changed between 2010 and 2011. The "Monday Night Impact" was full of hope, hope that was immediately crushed when we saw Bubba the Love Sponge actually getting paid by the supposed...

    Wrestle Kingdom V in Tokyo Dome - TNA Can't Say They Weren't Warned Welcome to 2011... and to an NJPW show! That's right, we're going over Wrestle Kingdom V. I'll be focusing solely on the three matches featuring TNA talent. First question you're asking is, "why didn't you do the 2010 one?"...

    Impact December 30, 2010 - Out with the Old (Year, not Wrestlers, sadly) It's gotten to the time of year when we commisserate about how shit the previous year was. No, I'm not talking about 2020, though I could all day - I'm talking about 2010, with the crap it's given me that will finally...

    Impact December 23, 2010 - Lump of Coal What a lame last episode that was, huh? Hopefully we get some actual wrestling, and not - perish the thought - Rob Terry giving a "why I turned heel" promo. The opening video package gives the impression that it's the latter, sadly, with Matt Morgan...

    Impact December 16, 2010 - It Gets Better, Maybe? Maybe? Please? Welcome to your favourite wrestling show featuring recaps and talking, ReAction... oh wait, this is Impact. I could be fooled, given the number of extended video packages from last week. And we start where the last show left off...

    Sky "enjoys" the TNA Immortal Era

    Impact December 9, 2010 - The Sound of Inevitability Opening package is, as you'd expect, about Hardy/Morgan at Final Resolution. "My entire gameplan was to pin this dude's shoulders down to the mat for three seconds" -Morgan, explaining how professional wrestling works. Episode's title is...

    Sky "enjoys" the TNA Immortal Era

    Final Resolution 2010 - In Which Nothing Is Finally Resolved "Well, if I could see the old Jeff Hardy in the rear view, I'd probably say, fuck off." That quote is how this PPV starts, and proves to me that the greatest element of comedy is the unexpected. The opening video montage is just like...

    Impact December 2, 2010 - Who Needs Hulkamania? (sort of) Oh hey, it's the go-home show for Final Resolution, and it's on earlier than I was expecting. You'll recall that Hogan is now legally banned from appearing on Impact - or at least you will if you watch the recap that focuses pretty much...

    Impact November 25, 2010 - Complete Turkey It's interesting to notice that Impact, thanks to its presence on Thursdays, always occurred on Thanksgiving every year. The Thanksgiving episodes happened to be some of the lowest-rated Impacts of the year, which is not a coincidence. So maybe since...

    Impact November 18, 2010 - or, How I Learned To Stop Caring and Hate Pro Wrestling This is going to be a very interesting Impact, and not necessarily because of what happens in the allotted two hours. The introduction, much like most things these days, is a montage of Jeff Hardy set to Another...

    Sky "enjoys" the TNA Immortal Era

    Impact November 11, 2010 - These Go To 11/11 The opening video, naturally focuses on the increasing hopelessness for anyone who dares to stand in Immortal's way. "Odds were stacked against me" -Jeff Hardy, without a hint of irony. How soon we forget the referee mistake that prevented Matt...

    Sky "enjoys" the TNA Immortal Era

    Turning Point 2010 - Turning 360 Degrees And Walking Away "What is real? What is true?" asks Jeff Hardy in the opening video. What is true is that he's basically cutting the same heel promo he has since he turned, sounding disaffected over "epic" looking stock footage. He serves only one master...

    Sky "enjoys" the TNA Immortal Era

    Impact November 4th, 2010 - This Episode Was Written with a Concussion Opening package focuses on the fact that Matt Morgan is suddenly a face now and cares about concussion protocol, and so he's turned on Immortal after less than a month. Once again, this would not be a problem if you'd not...
