8/10 for me.
10-man Gauntlet - I thought this was a really good way to kick off Impact. I did not read the results beforehand so EY winning was a pleasant change for me, for some reason I expected Bully Ray or Abyss to win. I am happy that James Storm and EC3 managed to last as long as they did. I'm glad Lashley didn't win, fuck that shit.
Four Way Knockouts Match - No craps given about this match so I skipped until the last minute of the match. Angelina Love vs. Madison Rayne? Yeah because we haven't seen that before...perks of having like 6 active knockouts on your roster. If it was up to me I would probably just scrap the division because right now the KO's contests are just wasting TV time.
Dixie Segment - For a TNA segment I didn't mind this one until Dixie miraculously appeared backstage with Magnus when before the break she was trapped in the ring with Bully Ray. The ending did not make sense to me, there needed to be some kind of conclusions coming out of the segment but there were none.
The Wolves vs. The BroMans - This was your typical storyline-building tag title contest. The only real aim of the contest is to further antagonise The Wolves which will almost certainly culminate at the Sacrifice PPV where I think they will win the titles from The BroMans. I think The Wolves are likely to have a long title reign the second time around due to the fact there is no other tag competition in TNA.
TNA World Title Match - I think the match should have lasted longer than 10-11 minutes especially if the title is booked to change hands. All in all I am pleased with the result of the match as I was never a massive fan of Magnus' title reign although I was starting to warm to it by the end. Eric Young is a well-deserved one time TNA Heavyweight Champion and I am happy for him.
PS: Does anybody else share the view that EY will only hold the title until Sacrifice? I think Magnus will be given a re-match and walk away from the PPV with the belt.
