A few episodes in and I thought I'd here people's thoughts.
Personally, I think it's Bischoff's best idea since he came: unique camera angles, shot documentary-style to give it a real life edge, wrestlers are way more convincing than they are on impact (Kaz, mainly) and it's a good way too fill in the blanks for certain storylines.
I think it might be the best wrestling show on tv right now. Gets the drama across better than Raw, SD or Impact does right now.

Not to mention that it takes all the promo time that would normally clog up a two-hour Impact. That way, you get a solid wrestling show followed by a solid promo show.

I love it. The stories and personalities are my favorite part of wrestling, and the build toward a match is what I often prefer to the match itself, so Reaction is definitely for me.

It's definitely not a bad idea, but I'd still move one of their non-Impact shows to a different day if I could.

What really impresses me about the show is that they take some of the angles with lousy explanations to them, and they let the wrestlers in "real talk" explain away the confusion. Some are better at it than others. Kurt Angle explaining away the fact that his running through the top 10 has been cut short felt like reasonable closure for an unfortunately dropped angle. The entire feel of the show somehow is just enjoyable.

when I first looked at the thread title I thought it said "Thoughts on TNA Erection?"

Reaction does its job its got some kinks to work out BUT the concept of a post game wrap up is a good base to start with. they just need to find what works I say average with room for improvement.

I don't like the voice over guy doing it. Get JB and Val hosting it like when they had the online post-show.

I love the idea, Bischoff has done his best to differentiate TNA from the WWE product...gotta love those camera angles.

7 Awful votes, but none of them actually posting why they think its awful While I don't think it is awful they should really try to interweave these interviews in the show. Would it improve in they made Impact 3 hours with this interviews mixed in? I think so but it would burn out the fans

If they had to do "TNA 3 hour thursdays" or whatever I wish Reaction for the last week was on 8-9 instead of how it is. It would get you excited to watch Impact and see whats going to happen, plus you wouldn't need as many "reminder about what happened last week" packages on Impact anymore.

From what I've seen of it, it seems like a great, innovative show and definitely Bischoff's best idea since he came into TNA. It does more for the storylines than Impact ever does.

I think it's really entertaining, they have a bit of realism mixed in with kayfabe and buildup for their feuds and ppvs.

It sounds like something worth catching if people are willing to praise Bischoff because of it. Any of the people who hate it care to actually say why it's so bad or are you just voting awful simply to dump on TNA programming?

It's not a bad idea, but most people aren't going to watch it due to the fact that it equates to three straight hours of Impact. Most people these days can barely handle two.

It's an awesome idea that WWE should steal in the future.

I like this show as well. I enjoy it more than any wrestling related show in a long time.
