TNA really delivered last night. RAW will be the winner next week because of Austin's return and Bret-Mcmahon contract signing.

I didn't watch TNA yet but it seem like I missed a hell of a show. If only I didn't have to go to work! I'll watch it over the weekend, though.

They used RVD to put Sting over as a heel, and it worked. But yeah, it did made RVD's debut a secondary to Sting's heel turn, but I can't really think of another baby-face that is over with the Impact crowd. Maybe they could've used Jeff Hardy instead. Sting would beat him down and take him out 'indefinitely' since he has the trial thing going. When (if) he returns, set up a Sting/Jeff Hardy feud. That would sell PPVs.

Another thing I didn't like was Shannon Moore getting a title shot. I'm not a fan of Moore, and him getting a title shot felt random.

-----------------------------------

I'm a little disappointed with the rating, but this month is arguably the biggest month for WWE since it is the road to Wrestlemania. The fact that they were able to hold their ground is pretty good. Still think they should've moved to 8-10 though.

Yeah, I'm not a shannon fan either but I think it was used to help get jeff on board. And I get the heel heat aspect but it just seemed like a waste to me. Maybe it leads to RVD/sting program but who wants to see that?

It was a really good show. You should watch it asap without reading any spoilers.

I've only watched TNA twice, only once fully. Other footage I've seen is in the form of clips when the Main Event Mafia destroyed Bubba Ray Dudley (LOL), Samoa Joe, and Christian [Cage] separately. Everyone doing their special on Christian without him even getting a word in previously was HILARIOUS. Same with Bubba getting thrown in the dumpster ahahaha

As for the 1.0 rating, I'm kind of disappointed too. I also agree that an 8-10 (heck, even 8:30-10:30) timeslot would've been much better. That way, no one fan really has reason to miss out on either show's main event.

Maybe the Jarrett/Bischoff fued should just end with Bischoff winning.  .76?

Looks like people are really getting sick of that feud, and I can't really blame them. It has only served to make Jarrett look like a total chump, and put Bischoff in far more segments he has to be in.
