Soon enough, after the intro we'll hear the deep-voiced announcer say "TNA Impact was filmed before a live studio audience." If John Stamos or the guy that played Eddie on Family Matters makes an appearance, I'm there. |

True, but I don't think there's too many people who think it's real anymore. Well, when I typically watch a TV show, I don't go "Well, he could have acted that better" or some other critque on the writing or camera work. I watch the show to get away from reality for a while. Wrestling has always been an easy way to do that since it even takes the act to reality when wrestlers appear at different places. However, the title at the beginning of Impact is just a slap in the face that "This is fake!" that it irks me. Especially when it spoils the show. Alligator Honeymoon could only be the title if it was known that Karen was going to be trying to make Kurt jealous and that AJ would take Karen on a "spontaneous" trip to Gatorland. It might just be me, but that's how I look at it. Like cornette said, just because it's scripted you don't have to shove it in people's faces. |

Seriously, Episode names for a Wrestling show? Who thought this up? I'm not really saying it's bad or good or ruins the show or anything, but it's just really weird at the very least. I'm pretty sure it was a guy who...well, let's just say his name probably rhymes with Bince Busso... Tense Nusso? I hate that guy! His mustache makes me sick. |

"Everyone in the world knows it's fake so why the smurf not?"
That's what I think their reasoning is.

Hey, I'm all for anything that tries to evolve the business past its carnival roots.
Wrestling is already a serialized story. I've been saying for awhile that it should go for broke and just become a TV enterprise, abolishing the traveling circus mentality that breaks down the bodies of the wrestlers. Have episode titles. Have 24 episodes a year. Have cliffhangers and DVD set seasons and so forth.

Yeah it surprised me a lot the first time I saw that. I actually find it kinda cool but it murders kayfabe with an axe. So, from a smarky point of view, it' s pretty cool, IMO.

So will we see the title: The One With The Swerve ? *WC Crickets Chirp* I Think they'll go with a Seinfeld style instead of a Friends style... "The Russo 1.3". |

Does this mean we'll have titles with "*insert witty pun here*, Part One" and so on?
