I watched Impact last week, and i must admit that it was a very good show. But as i was watchin, i starting thinkin that they are trying awfully hard to be funny. It seemed like every segment/skit was pure comedy. If tna keeps this up, it could take away from teh wrestling aspect and hurt the brand. What do you think about this? Is too much a bad thing?

I don't think so. Team 3D demanding snack foods, making references to 'the new formula' and 'as a kid that made me feel oh so swell' was quite hilarious. I enjoyed watching it, and thus I will continue to watch every week. That's all that matters, regardless of whether or not it's actual wrestling content.

The Xdiv/Team3d has given us so many funny segments, and I like it. It adds flavour to a show and make it more dimensional. However they should keep these segments far far away from the main event. And it's ok when you got funny people like the MCMG doing it (remember the white skin and tan teeth joke?) but can u imagine if they try doing something like that with Black Reign? It'll fall flat.

I'm not sure. I think they are doing too many funny promo's and should start being a bit more seriosu but everyone is complaining about them being like WWE and it's very rare when WWE is funny. I think TNA are trying to play to that weakness of WWE's to get some more fans who keep watching because it's funny (like a comedy show, if people find it funny, they'll watch the next episode) so I think that's the reason why they're doing it.

Im not saying take it out, im saying they are over doing it. Theres no reason for every single skit to be comedic, and thats the same it seems to me. Personally i like it, but after a while, its going to make the product a joke. Because what they are going to do is try and top last weeks, then go over board. See Wwe

Well, last week's iMPACT! was supposed to be a comedy show since it was thanksgiving. I just hope that the next few episodes get a little more serious though, I mean..I like comedy and all but, as you said it could harm the product if they take the comedy too far
