It's pretty much at the point where everyone here seems absolutely hell bent on shitting on everything that happens on Impact. A fun Beer Money reunion? Spend the entire time making fun of Gunner, ignoring that it's actually pretty cool to see and they got the win in Beer Money fashion. An actual heel faction with new guys who deserve a chance? Shit on it at every corner. Because Gunner is terrible, this new heel faction is just another heel faction which everyone is sick of with the addition of heel Dixie Carter and a mliquetoast generic heel champ, and a lot of these new guys are underwhelming when there's plenty of talent that's been pushed aside we'd rather see, and thought we'd see more of once Hogan left. The show sucks, the fun is making fun of it. But it's not even really making fun of it, it's just "this is the worst ever" or "this company is dead" or "this is shit." That's not making fun of it, that's endless bitching upon bitching just to bitch. This isn't like WWE where it's the same old shit with Cena/Orton/Triple H on top, this is something actually new for once. They're trying something. And yes, Gunner is terrible, but he was made to look like a bitch tonight by getting destroyed twice, so who cares. Also, who is underwhelming? Spud is not ever going to get a big time push, he's a comedy character. Dixie generates more heat than anyone on the roster, not too dissimilar to what Vickie did in her Smackdown GM days. Magnus is an interesting young talent, and how is he a milquetoast generic champ already? His promo tonight was pretty damn solid.

That segment would have been fine without all of the Dixie.

Disappointed with the lack of Bad Influence but at least they weren't A Briss jobber fodder. If they only had the lighter fluid of doom, they could have won that match with Joseph Park.

How babyfacey of the new heel World Champion. What a heel!! Demanding a match to prove he's the better man and getting AJ a temporary contract. The bastard.

Every week I leave Impact with a headache. Yet I continue to watch.

After tonight, Bobby Hill can be a TNA superstar since he mastered the Nut Punt.

Dixie/Magnus/Spud/EC3 bores the piss out of me, and there's not enough good stuff on the show outside of it. There wasn't one thing on the show tonight that I'd actually say was any good, honestly. I wouldn't be watching at all if there wasn't this thread to make jokes and laugh at it. I understand that it can be pretty annoying if you don't feel that way, but impact threads have been like this for a while now.

I can't speak for anybody else but I lost my enthusiasm for him when I realized he just wasn't that good. I lost anything that I liked about Magnus a couple of months ago. He's just really been exposed as an average wrestler that needs to be carried.

He's just really been exposed as an average wrestler that needs to be carried. It's like the FCW cloning system found it's way across the pond. Jacked up, good size, competent, but boring. He's a decent wrestler but on a roster with guys like Daniels, Roode, Aries, Joe, etc. he's not someone I want to see on top of the card.

Magnus is an interesting young talent, and how is he a milquetoast generic champ already? His promo tonight was pretty damn solid. First of all, I have no idea why people still take this thread as a serious discussion. This is a roasting session. We crack jokes, have fun, merry times to be had by all involved. Second of all, who cares if it's something new IF IT'S NOT GOOD? That's seriously the most bizarre defense of an angle and I'm tired of hearing it. If Dixie Carter took a shit in the middle of the ring, it'd be different but that doesn't make it any good. That's why we crack jokes. That's why so many people complain. Because the product TNA is putting out isn't enjoyable to us by itself. We get enjoyment by laughing at how bad it is. The fact that Gunner even HAS a world title shot is dumb. Dude is straight trash. He brings NOTHING to the table. Dixie Carter is terrible. Porn stars have better acting. She draws the most heat because they put the heat in post-production. Magnus is underwhelming as hell, IMO. And based on what others are saying, in their minds as well. He's not the worst I've ever seen but he's just not that good. He's unspectacular in the ring and, while not an awful talker, can't carry lengthy segments. Also, yes, Magnus is generic as hell. Pretty much the whole basis of his character is cocky heel champion that can only talk about how cocky and good he is which has been done to death in wrestling. It's about as generic a heel as you can be in wrestling. There's room for improvment and growth, obviously, but right now, it's dull. We get it, you like what TNA is doing now. That's fine, nothing wrong with that. We DON'T like what TNA is doing. Therefore, we are voicing our disapproval.

Yeah, he's essentially like a wrestler that a japanese promotion sends to the US or Mexico to improve. Young, decent and will usually return a better wrestler. Thing is though, someone like this shouldn't be a main eventer before their learning excursion.

I'm not defending the Gunner part, Gunner is absolutely f***ing atrocious and I don't think he should have been even allowed near James Storm and the tag titles months ago. I do hate Kazarian and Daniels getting pushed aside despite being the best guys in the company not named Bobby Roode, at least in the last year. The limited talent of the women's division, the shitty tag division, Bully's current gimmick, Kurt Angle, Sting and the X Division all pretty much annoy me right now. I just happen to enjoy the main event scene because I like Magnus/EC3/Spud, and I find Dixie's heel character amusing in a way. Being an unabashed heel is a hell of a lot better than what Triple H is doing.
