TNA Impact Wrestling 28th March 2013 - Open Fight Night

TNA has always been about tv ratings so they give away title matches and big events all the time. I also wish that they would try to use these extra months to build a huge title match for the PPV but it doesn't seem to be the case. I am interested in seeing what they do after Jeff gets his rematch, does he get another shot or will there be a new contender.

Wow we missed a lot when they went to commercial, nice counter into the alabama slam by Anderson

I love the theme to Aces & 8s but that's about it, this doesn't feel like a main event standard match and putting the advert where they did comes across as amateurish; I would do it during the entrances.

Credit to Mike Tenay there trying to sell this match as a big deal when it isn't.

Please, Please, Please let Bully get another contender. Nothing against Jeff Hardy but I just don't buy him as the face of the company. They have the right idea with this whole live show and going on the road concept, but now they have to build the talent as well. If you aren't worried about PPV buys you could easily throw in some different contenders that aren't name valued old superstars. Hardy, Angle, and Sting have only so many years left. Time to go younger. Biggest problem I have with TNA right now is alot of there best talent i.e. Roode are heels.

What a Sabu-esque move!

Setting up for a TLC match between the two at Corpus Christi?

 

[Troy]

Weird ending to that match, why did Hebner fall over? Did Anderson bump him?

Nice seeing Hardy hit the big spots though.

Giving away TLC match on live TV - At least WWE did it with minor big matches, this is TNA blowing something which could be a believable main event of a pay-per-view.

And this is why TNA gets mocked in week and week out.

TLC Full Metal Mayhem match in two weeks for the title. Should be a good spot match involving those two.

 

[Andrew]

That Corpus Christi show is going to be extremely nuts!

If I am not working that day I'll be watching!

I agree, this could have been a match to sell a PPV. Could easily get a couple months build between them to lead to this announcement and this match.

Isn't TNA's next big PPV in June, Slammiversary? That is quite far away from now, I do think they could have stretched this out for a month from now and hyped the match like crazy instead of just going to have a couple weeks of build. Also, hopefully with the stipulation it's good though because I haven't liked any of the Bully/Hardy matches in TNA.
