10 Thoughts on TNA iMPACT 4.24.09

Reviews, Shows, TV Shows

1) I actually really like the idea that everyone in the four-way match at Sacrifice actually will have to Sacrifice something. I’m sure TNA will find a way to f it up, but it’s a good idea in theory.

2) “Cactus Jack Smack Attack” is just about the dumbest string of words that have ever come out of Mick Foley’s mouth.

3) I like that Mike Tenay actually mentioned the fact that Beer Money didn’t have the return match clause in their contract, because I admit that I wondered why they didn’t get an automatic rematch. It’s not every day I say something nice about Mike Tenay, but there you go.

4) Good for Eric Young for finally standing up for himself. Too little, too late though.

5) The time management on this show is horrible. We don’t need over a dozen segments featuring Jeff Jarrett, even if he is running the show.

6) The Beautiful People’s music doesn’t fit them at all.

7) I like Trevor Murdoch and all, but Jethro Holliday is a terrible name. And why is he teaming with Eric Young?

8) I can’t think of one good reason to not let Daniels use his first name. Also, he has some of the same facial hair I do, but I have sideburns and a soul patch to go with it.

9) Ha-ha, Bobby Lashley. I mean really, Bobby Lashley? Who in their right mind thinks that this will do anything for TNA? I guarantee Kurt Angle recommended it. I interviewed Lashley several years ago and he mentioned being tight with Angle. So thanks a lot, Kurt.

10) While this doesn’t relate to the show, this feels like my best chance to address Jim Cornette’s new commentary. Two words immediately came to mind: FUCK YOU. It’s not that what Cornette is saying isn’t true, because a good portion of it is. It’s just a sad case of the pot calling the kettle black, because everything Cornette derides Vince and WWE for doing, TNA is doing it too. They’re also not even doing it as well as Vince. Cornette also brings up things like Boogeyman and “Big Dick Johnson,” neither of whom appears on WWE TV anymore. It’s also nothing that hasn’t said before. So Cornette, until you re-open Smokey Mountain Wrestling, and run a company the way you describe in your little blog, keep collecting your paycheck from the worst wrestling company on TV and SHUT THE FUCK UP.
