Rate TNA 03/28/13

[Crayo]

I want to give it more than a 1, but then I remember Chavo Guerrero. The whole show was really poor and boring to be honest. Anderson going nuts was great but it hardly warrants a +1. Meh, I'll give it a generous 2.

 

[Rysenberg]

Team Mexibores/10. To be honest, I'm getting tired of Aces and 8s run ins during half the matches. It happens every week at some point and it's getting tedious. Where was this big attack Bully promised as well?

Still, I read the start of next week's spoilers and I'm already more excited for them. This show seriously lacked Dirty Heels.

Three matches

So help me God, the moment I knew IMPACT would have "only" 3 matches on the show, I knew exactly who's gonna be negative about it on forum.

Remember the Wedding Impact in January, 1/17? It only had 3 matches. Who was negative about that? It was you.

So I gotta ask you, why is that? An 1 hr and 25 min show should not have 5, 6 matches, not even 4 sometimes (even though I'd be booking 4 matches per IMPACT and sometimes 2 or 3). Why? It's too much. It doesn't let the storylines unfold and something that matters to take a breath.

Explain it President.

I didn't know people are giving bad grades to a show because the wrestler(s) they hate won the match over the wrestlers who they like.

Sounds completey logical dudes! :silva:

I mean, I hate the pricks of Mexican Nacho, but c'mon. It was a very good match, quality work from both teams, and if you read the spoilers, this win over Bad Influence might be for the greater purposes that will (maybe) happen on 4/11 in Corpus Christi.

And it also seems that the shows that don't feature Park, Roode and Aries; and features guys like Bischoff, Brisco and Young wrestling (even though it was a good match and gave An8s another good win)) also instantly gets a low rating. It sure should be that way, but not this much.

Just a thought.

 

[Testify]

Anyway, moving forward from my mini-rant on why people are ratings the show the way they are, I give this show a 6/10.

- Very good tag action with Hernandez being the MVP of the match (he improved a lot), even though he and Gayvo won.
- Hogan/Sting confrontation was fucking awesome
- 6 Men Tag was solid with Street Thugs getting another good win (Bischoff is paying his dues well)
- Taryn looks super HOT
- Styles/Storm continues to intrigue
- Anderson/Hardy was decent, but the aftermath was awesome

Anyway, the bad sides of the show are Anderson, Hardy and Chavo promos, all in first 15 mins of the show. Can you believe that shit? Horrible.

Other than that, a fair show. It did lack some Aries, Roode and Park, but ain't gonna bitch about it, as I could bitch about why was Amazing Red, Jay Lethal, Petey Williams and Kid Kash all released and why aren't they on the show these days, but I'm happy with what I got this past Thursday night.

Explain it President.

I understand, and I was fine with you being president bro. You're more... umm, president material than I, Testify.

Speaking for Crayo, Nazi, and myself, alot of our collective anger towards the episode was from when we riled each other up during the discussion thread, because we had a lot of fun doing it. This was the one wrestling episode I felt better about the morning afterwards than the night of.

You can call it "three matches" or "40 minutes of wrestling". There was the hour in between match one and match 2 that really made the show REALLY drag, and that's a lot of where our complaints came from. (Plus you know my bias towards Hogan segments, even though Morgan kinda saved it.)

It's also hard to get into a match with the Aces and Eights or ex-WWE guys in it. My opinion.

The Chavo thing bugged alot of us, we all really want Aries and Roode vs Bad Influence and we want it now... but that's another thing that's better when you aren't caught up in the moment. Chavo and Hernandez are getting to the point where we love to hate them, their match felt intense not only because the action was balls-awesome but us "smart-marks" have a clear-cut face and a clear-cut heel. The more we hate Chavo, the better.

 

[acailler]

That is all.

 

[seabs]

That woman in the purple is not impressed, also wtf is that guy next to her looking at?

Also reallife :gusta: guy in the bottom right above the purple lady.

I woke up and the show was still abysmal. Maybe it went to a 2/10 in hindsight but nothing more. Testify, sorry to say this, but if something pathetic like Team Mexico going over Bad Influence -- your companies best tag team by a mile -- happened in WWE, you would be the first one to post some shitty smiley to shit on the product. But because it happens in TNA, your reaction is "well, the match was good, so the result means nothing" -- results mean everything. Especially with that stipulation. It could be a case of what Senhor said where TNA were teasing us perfection and then taking it away so we want more, but that's not teasing, that's just damn right lame if Team Mexico going over was the end result.

I agree that for a 2 hour show there doesn't need to be too much wrestling, but the timing was all off. An hour between matches and the actual promo/backstage segments we get were lame, and then we finally get a match and it's the boring members of A&8 vs the boring faces that simply aren't relevant? Inb4 you call me out in saying they're not relevant, let's face it, they're not. Storm has lost all momentum, I can't remember the last time Angle has actually entertained me properly, and let's not get started on Eric Young (I'm a fan of him btw). Hogan/Sting sucked even though you're a huge fan of it. You tell me that they won't face off like they're teasing, so what was the point in giving them that time? Hogan was receiving boos from everyone, and he's one of their top faces (lol), so I don't see how the segment was purposeful at ALL if they're actually not going to face off. The knockout segment(s) bored me as always too.

Then the main event was a Hardy match which was actually decent. I'm actually struggling to remember the other parts in the show; it was that lacklustre and boring to watch. It's okay to hate on TNA once in a while dude, because their product is still far better than WWE's at the moment.

 

[Stopspot]

This show was pure tripe. 1/10-2/10 max.

Also reallife :gusta: guy in the bottom right above the purple lady.

1: Hadn't seen that.

The guy on the far left seems to be satisfied.

+1

That's why I love to discuss things with you and Seabs the most. You get the points I make and you have good closing arguments in most cases when you reply (even though you don't have to speak in anyone's name lol).

That 1 hour span between the 2 matches is my fault, as I wasn't able to catch the show live, so I didn't even notice it was an hour in-between. I admit defeat in that area, but I still stand by that there should be 3 or 4 matches per 2 hr wrestling show at best.

And that last sentence....

4/10. Wasn't great, it was good but not the best episode I've seen, it was a little boring
