Two title changes tonight and both surprised me.

I didn't think that Angle would win the title since Sting only held it for 27 days and that was after Anderson held the title for 29 days. Another quick title change and it doesn't really help clear up the mainevent scene. Bullshit ending again with Hogan running the interference. Angle as champion will be interesting to see how he goes as the top guy again.

Can't believe that Anderson went from champion a month ago to being thrown on the undercard and then losing to Bully Ray. I know that Ray has been good as a heel this year but honestly Anderson was champion and now he is jobbing out.

Winter winning the title I like but I didn't expect it at all. I thought it would happen later in the year not first time.

Interesting that Crimson got the win even if it was by DQ to keep RVD happy.

What are your thoughts on the results? Anyone watch the show?​

Angle winning the title is not a suprise to me, TNA have been playing switch a roo with it as of late, and as one of their main eventers who has not held the title in quite sometime I guess it was Kurt's time. The Hogan interference was predictable as it sets up what is likely to be a dire match with Sting at Bound For Glory.

Winter beating James for the Women's Title was a suprise, like you I could see her taking it later in the year, but not just yet.

Agree with you about Anderson's treatment, very strange, once again it seems like TNA have no intention of creating stars to rivel their old guys.

Anderson has fallen hard fast but has some time to still avoid being buried. Bully Ray has done really well as a heel, I don't mind him going over. I thought Winter would beat James and she has a big angle going on James isn't on Impact as much as she is. Didn't expect Kurt to beat Sting here but did think he would beat him in a rematch at No Surrender so not that stunned. Hogan-Sting will happen even if no one wants to see it. RVD lost by DQ because of Jerry Lynn breaking up a pin attempt by Crimson so it will be interesting to see if they follow that up.

It is ridiculous that Russo booked yet another swerve for the mainevent. Angle taking the chair from Hogan and then hitting Sting therefore turning heel is ridiculous. Swerves don't equal money anymore because TNA do it too often. Plus Angle said before the match that he wanted to beat Sting clean yet he used a chair.

I didn't expect Lynn but I assume this will lead to another match down the line between RVD and Lynn. I remember someone predicting that Lynn would come out so whoever that was well done.

TNA dont suprise me anymore, they have the opportunity to have some great matches if the book them right and then ruin them with heel changes and all that sort of crap. I went off TNA for a long time and only started watching it again recently. FTR I like what they are doing with Kendrick's character sort of reminds me of Eugene but he is actually useful. I think Russo needs to sit back and just think about what hes doing before he does it. Like when they had styles turn heel during the fued with Angle that was working weel a while back.
