spdk1 said: heh, guess some of my prayers were answered, look what happened at the impact tapings today:
"Before the tapings started, the Impact Zone crowd was addressed by members of the TNA staff. They talked to the crowd about not cursing, making obscene gestures, or gang signs. They called the crowd 'cast members' and basically told the crowd that they needed to be quiet."
YAY no dumbass chants for everything |
It looks like your dreams came true, in record time!

I agree with what you're saying spdk1 but the crowd enforcement does walk a fine line. There are definitely a lot of dumb ass smart marks in the orlando crowd. They are hugely inconsistent even though a large chunk of the crowd is the same week in and week out. They think nigel is the greatest ever one week, they no sell him the next. they think kennedy is great for 10 minutes then lay into him. And yet, while they can suck at times, it's nice to see a crowd that cares, even if it's misplaced.
At times, the tna crowd reminds me of the "plant ecw fan" crowd from the first 'one night stand' wwe did a couple years back. For the most part, it was a good show but the crowd obviously cared more about swearing on camera then the action in the ring. I remember the benoit vs eddie match and half the match the crowd was looking up towards the balcony and chanting things like "you screwed matt" at edge. It was absolutely nuts to see "hardcore wrestling fans" no sell a match between two modern in ring legends.
Also, I didn't see genesis, but here are quick thoughts:

Glad "the band" didn't go over on beer money (even though I dislike that gimmick). Neither here nor there about kendrick not getting the x-division title. Can't (or in tna's case: can) believe val went over on daniels. Fine with kennedy getting the duke over abyss.... Cause let's face it, that's what abyss is meant to do (read: kane, mic foley). Fine with styles heel turn. Fine with tara as new champ. fine with morgan and super mex as new champs. happy wolfe finally got a ppv win.
