Oh my god why?

Bad timing, they are just coming off as WWE ripoffs doing it now...

But the third hour being a recap show? Eh, sure. Wish they could use it to spotlight more guys though.

So its an hour long recap show and then the normal show after that? Why? That sounds pointless. Although if it means no recaps during the actual show that would be nice. I'll just skip the recap show and watch the normal one.

That's what I'm wondering. If that is the case, then this doesn't sound like a big change for those who watch the show regularly. We can just tune in at the usual time and (hopefully) see the regular show without the usual recaps. That might make the show even better if they do handle it that way. However, if they continue showing recaps during the live show, after having already aired an hour-long recap, then the whole thing seems pointless.

Ah well, I guess the pre-show recap could be good for those who miss shows from time to time.

I can't wait to watch them have a hour of recaps pre-show and then have recaps every five minutes during the normal show. :haha:

It really does look like "If WWE do this then we do it first!!!!!".

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

They've done this recap show before. No big deal

 

[Farooq]

Coming off the hall of fame thing and now this three hour thing, not good for those people who love to mock TNA and find some reason to insult them. And I think they should get more viewers before making it 3 hours...

I wish they put Xplosion, not this.
