Good, bad and ugly...that sums up TNA for this Thursday. DJ Fully runs down why he thinks the promotion is kind of headed in the right direction, but still has a lot of work to do. LEAVE YOUR COMMENTS ON TNA!

So for the first time in probably months and months I watched the full show.
And was promptly reminded of why it's been months and months since I watched a full show.
That TNA show was HORRIBLE. The only thing I enjoyed was seeing AIW's semi-main event for this Saturday in the ring together in Sonjay and "Senshi" -- and then they went to commercial.
I can't even think the words "press conference" without almost falling out of my chair laughing. Sure, WWE announces press conferences, but at least they know what they are in fan rallies with some local media and don't try to put them on the air and pretend that actual mainstream journalists that aren't their own staff members are there. Those segments were RIDICULOUS. Then to top it off, you get the throw away "Yes, Joe from USA Today" line at either Cornette or Rhino's segment was ending. So apparently USA Today sent someone to cover a TNA press conference? I don't think anyone at USA Today even knows what TNA is!
I've posted it once, and I'll post it again. I may not watch TNA much, I may not watch the PPVs, but if they go the route they're building towards and turn Angle heel against Sting, I'm done. Forever. No DVD buys, no "oh, Ultimate Fighter's over, I guess I'll keep Spike on and watch TNA." Nothing. Marc already tried to come up with a scenario for it to not happen. As has become the standard for many people, he gave TNA "creative" way too much credit. Joe is in a multi-person hardcore match. Here's hoping he kills the corpses that are Raven and Runt and lets Abyss clean them up. Sorry, still no three way. He'll be Jarrett's feud after he retires Sting -- most likely with the help of Angle.
Let's establish this -- do I have a problem with Angle as a heel in TNA? No. I have a problem with the fact that no one but Jarrett can be the top heel, and if you're a big name heel, you have to be with him. How would I book it? Jarrett over Sting clean. Joe comes after him after having beaten him clean, and still not giving him his belt back. Joe wins. Angle, who has done something to establish himself as a heel, goes after Joe. Jarrett -- well I don't care what he does, as long as he's not the top heel.
NBC's Monday Night line-up is doing all it can to steal me away from watching RAW, the only wrestling I watch consistantly. TNA is doing all they can to be sure I don't become a regular viewer at all. Looks like I'm back to the days of just following wrestling through the internet and not watching it.
So I watched the clip here, and I just can't help think Michaels/Austin at WMXIV with Tyson as the 'enforcer'. Do you think there is a possibility of a similar outcome, Angle seemingly going with Jarrett but turning on him at the last second? Keep in mind they do have Russo....
So Joe is in the Monster's Ball match is he? Wasn't it last year at BFG that Rhino won the Monster's Ball match then the title? Don't write him out of the PPV just yet...
Marc, you say they have Russo like it's a good thing. Russo is the antichrist. I know he may be a Christian now or whatever, but in terms of wrestling and booking, he is the antichrist. Lest we forget where Jarrett got the idea he was a viable main eventer instead of the career midcarder he should have been -- as Vince Russo's "chosen one." He's the one that put the WCW World Title on himself. He's the one that took Goldberg, the last believable face in WCW, and turned him heel for no reason other than to pull a swerve. Russo makes me 1000% more concerned about TNA -- and no, that's no typo.
I was not saying it was a good thing. I was just thinking Russo was around WWF/E back when they did the Tyson thing and Russo is known to re-hash plots/angles (no pun intended).
