Thanks for the thread! This is the go-home show, isn't it?
It's always good to see James Storm, anyone else think Ion will win the X-division belt tonight?

Watching over Youtube to fast-forward through Bob Van Dam sounding like an egotistical douche.

 

[Crayo]

Might tune in to see the Storm update.

Looking forward to Storm's "update" and another Aries/Zema match-up.

Yes, the go-home show.

Zema Ion probably won't win the title, bcuz Aries is such a badass champ and will hold for more time, and he needs to look good for the Bully this Sunday.

Agreed, Bob VD cut one of the most douchebag promos ever. :facepalm1: Reminds me that he'll have promo time this week too. :facepalm1:

Plus, the weekly TV Title defense by Devon is against Robbie E. tonight.
Crayo, you gonna tune in for that too?

 

[Crayo]

PFFFFT.

I wish they gav Bully all the mic segments. He is one of the best heel talkers in the business.

Devon and Robbie are perfect fits for each other. A great seller vs a dominant big man. As long as Robbie gets no offence, comedically oversells everything, and this fucking feud ends, that TV Title match is inoffensive enough.

Aries isnt losing clean, that's for sure! Bully will probably (predictably) cost him the belt, or they can Sheamus-book Aries and let him win anyway. We dont know yet, that's the fun of TNA.

I always watch Impact when I remember. Actually looking forward to the main event tonight.

No reason to start new thread just to post a rating...

The 5/10 edition of Impact did a 1.11 rating with 1,533,000 viewers. That is up from recent weeks.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

1.11?!?! Must have upped their advertising

 

[Testify]

1,533,000 viewers? That's actually great compared to last two months. Hopefully they don't sink again.

Q8 was piss poor.

Looks like the AJ storyline that we all hate is a ratings draw after all lol.

Looks like people were interested in Storm as well

 

[Crayo]

At least it's increasing, that's great news. Hogan appearing = 0.92 lolololol
