Lambert, I thought this Impact was ok, but certainly not great. One interesting thing was the little riff between Hogan and Bischoff. I would love to see that develop into a storyline. Hogan vs Bischoff has a lot of possibilities and would be could go over well if done properly. As far as the Angle-Anderson segment..when Angle started talking about the troops and crying, I was thinking "really?". Angle is a legend in the sport, but he isn't what he once was, and I feel like they're looking for anything they can to get him over right now. As far as Anderson, his reaction was great! I laughed my ass off. I don't know that anyone could've pulled that off with humor and sarcasm the way he did! I agree with ya Lambert, that the WWE didn't use him correctly. The best thing TNA is doing right now is putting Anderson over as a heel, and he may very well be one of the best heels in the business right now!!! I wish Chris "Abyss" Parks would become a full time member of the creative team and help with the writing. That's where his real talents are, not as a wrestler. I've never liked his ring character, it's just a poor ripoff of Foley's Mankind.

R.I.P.

Yeah, that was too bad that he passed. His real name was Eddie Fatu, the little brother of Junior Fatu(Rikishi). Man, wrestlers live a hard life, and endure a lot of abuse to their bodies. The life span for a pro wrestler isn't great. While it is scripted, those guys put their bodies through hell every night for us!

ULTIMATE-I am happy to read that you thought the same thing i did about that angle/anderson segment.And just like you the first thing i said when angle started with that was "seriously"?.And like you i was laughing at how anderson just flipped it on him.That was great.It showed his talents that he was able to flip it back on angle and have it play that good doing it.Yes,for sure he is the best heel in the buisness today.Not sure whats going on with that hogan/abyass thing.That just confused me.And i also have never really liked him as i awlays thought he just ripped off mankinds gimmick.And as far as the hogan bischoff thing you might be right as that could work good as a storyline.At least they would make it interesting and not the same old that that other wrestling has been doing for year.Putting over the same people with the same routines.I mean every match is the same with most of them.I hear that the main event for that march 8th show-hogan vs flair???

I wrote a whole long post about it on this thread when it happen.Very sad as another wrestler does not see the age of 40.I mention all of that on the post i wrote on here.

Undertaker nearly set on fire in a Pyro miscue, damn you Kane.


Great PPV matches last night. Great results. Perfect way to start off the final drive to 'Mania.

I've got to say I wasn't that upset with the TNA's whole "Dick Flair" thing. Thought it was entertaining that he's getting punked now. I would like to see more wrestling and less drama. Reminds me too much of WWE which has gotten so boring with it.

I'm hoping TNA puts together some good stuff before they go live because right now Vince has the wrestling world at his mercy and he could push them under in a matter of months.
