Wow, just WOW. That's some awful commentary. And they apparently went on like this for the entire show.

Out of all the things the new impact could try why did it have to be heel Michael Cole turned up to 1000?

Jeez.

How in the world are you supposed to watch the show with those idiots yammering on? Have TNA progressed to the point of being in full-on "we don't care anymore" mode where they actually thought that was a good idea?

Apparently they are using Russo as a consultant again. Possibly have him back on creative full swing (he is denying it, which usually means he actually is back).

Oh god...when I saw JB first walk to the table I saw a tiny bit of hope...then this happened.

Also, apparently, (I will watch the show sometime this weekend maybe to fully judge it) there was a lot of shooting at this show and the tapings towards the talent and the old regime...Including a shoot on Smackdown.

This is going down as one of the worst episodes of TNA ever. It made one of the most loyal TNA fans ever, Garrett Kidney, who reviews TNA for voices of wrestling and has probably watched every single minute of TNA footage ever up until this week tap out. As well as members of TNA hardcore/loyalist site TNAmecca calling it quits.

Judging by what I've seen from the spoilers it seems more than likely. Any sources?

Turning Matthews' ineptitude at commentary into a storyline is bad Russo at its finest

Where yo' grandma stay.
Such cancer, why don't they just hire a new commentary team? Fire Matthews? Or at the very least bring in a good lead. Wasn't there something about JR coming in? Also Russo back again? Really? Why?

There's always the rumors of JR coming in but he has no interest

Yeah the commentary decision was absolutely awful. And it was really distracting to the show. I actually watched it all and as being the first full Impact I have seen in a while, it did not do a good job. I'll give them a chance to work out the issues, but they definitely need to redo the commentary.

Hell, honestly at this point, just ask Don West to go back to it (face not heel). Josh Matthews never should have been behind a commentary table to begin with, but this heel turn is just so wretched that it even makes face Matthews look better.
