Anybody else notice that we got an Impact main event that was two of the top guys in the company facing one another, getting a decent (for weekly TV) amount of time, and ending with a clean finish? Don't know about you guys, but to me it  Well, actually, I said in another thread that I'm in a weird place when it comes to TV wrestling. For example, I don't watch Raw much, but I do get interested hearing about the Shield having six man tag matches...but then I really don't want to watch, because I feel like I'd get burned out too quickly on it. This main event felt "just right" for weekly TV wrestling to me. It was just under 10 minutes, both guys looked good, told a pretty good story, etc. Plus, TNA needs to book a Joe vs. Roode feud, like, last month. Seriously, get on it, the world needs it. |

Really? It felt incredibly short to me

While it didn't feel THAT short to me, not going too long is part of why I liked it.
Again, I'm just of the mind that most weekly TV wrestling matches shouldn't go too long; while there are folks who've watched longer than I have who likely still watch everything ever week, I feel like I've simply had too many stretches of feeling burned out on wrestling, and part of it was always that I'd get bored of too many matches going long.
I left this match feeling like "now I want to see an extended program with these two somewhere down the road", because now I want more.

Joe vs. Roode stole the show!

TNA should had given the match more time so it felt like a true main event with high stakes involved instead of feeler for the real main event of Dixie vs MVP. It was fine considering how short it was.

The match was fine, but something like that needs to end the show. The Dixie bookends are so annoying, and to make it worse she's all over TV in the middle too. She gets more TV time than Hogan!

I left this match feeling like "now I want to see an extended program with these two somewhere down the road", because now I want more. This is exactly why I want time limits to come back consistently. I like the idea of TV matches being shorter, but at the same time I don't want two main eventers having a clean finish in 5 minutes because that's such a convincing win, there's a certain finality to that. If time limits in were in play, the wrestlers know they have to win in 10 minutes or less or what have you, which makes them wrestle more aggressively, making them more likely to make a mistake that leads to their loss or hit a big move that gets them the win. Then, as the feud progresses, the time limits can extend and they can wrestle a less urgent, more careful style and it results in a completely different kind of match psychology. I find it annoying when you can tell a match will end quickly because guys start hitting signature moves and getting 2 counts right off the bat. Time limits would at least give it a reason and make things make sense, which is really what I want more of from wrestling. Not everything needs to be realistic because then there would be zero high spots or any wackiness, but something like this would make more sense within the genre without altering what makes it so fun. |
