Honestly this is the same old TNA You've got a non wrestler that people don't care about wrestling in the ring and managing to land moves onto wrestlers. You've got the baby faces being unable to overcome the heels despite the heels being handicapped. You've got 51 year old Al Snow who hasn't been relevant in 15 years coming out and cutting promos in an attempt to get a non full timer over. You've got your blatant mentions of the WWE in an attempt to get your guys over because TNA guys aren't over. You've got your "big surprise" being the return of Mr Kennedy (Who hasn't been relevant in years either) and of course your main event is middle aged Kurt Angle teaming with Bobby Lashley to take on middle aged MVP and Samoa Joe. Just for good measure they've thrown in Austin Aries Vs Bobby Roode (A match people would likely pay for) just to make this event the perfect TNA mixture.
And then the company wonders why they can't compete with WWE and why they can't draw casual fans. These spoilers and the exact same thing they did last year that was JUST like it is why. Knowing them, it was likely only four or so minutes.

Mickie James is back! Bit surprised considering the original reason she left was because she and TNA couldn't agree to terms on a contract. I'd imagine she's on some sort of flexible contract now she's a mother.

I like Mickie James and all but again it's TNA giving big money and TV time to someone they don't need. There are so many talented ladies out there these days and they don't really need a big money ex WWE girl coming in. Especially when Mickie has never moved the needle and they already have multiple ex WWE girls there.
Nice to see Tommy Dreamer making an appearance as well. If there is anything I need more of out of mainstream wrestling it's Tommy Dreamer doing the "ECW is awesome" gimmick.

Not knowing or caring about the product much the last month, this makes no sense to me, especially after it sounds like Aries aligned himself with Angle in the previous segment.
I just...ay yi yi.

Can I ask the original poster what time the show started this evening and what it ended?
Also did you go the fan interaction bit beforehand and what was the deal with that?
I'm going to the Manchester tapings tomorrow night, so just wanted to know approximate timings
cheers

Bell time I believe was 7pm, but they're still going past 11pm. Have no idea about the fan interaction stuff.

"Drew "I'm here to put ICW on Television so I'll go to TNA" Galloway."
Yeah, keep doing that Drew. Just keep doing what you're doing.

Seriously, why're they shoehorning Anderson into yet another feud where he's not needed? f*** off already.
*reads last bit of spoilers that wasn't edited in when she originally posted* Oh for goodness sake Drew, stay away from the sinking ship, you'll end up like Bram...

Every feud he's shoehorned into sucks even more for having to feature his tired and boring schtick, though. If they have to resort to that just to justify his employment, it's time to cut him entirely.

If they have to resort to that just to justify his employment, it's time to cut him entirely. Allow me to explain to you. He's popular (actually is not), former WWE superstar (has been in TNA just as long as he was in the WWE now), a ratings draw (he's never moved the needle), always improving (he's perhaps the stalest act in professional wrestling today) and he's had a ton of great matches (Actually not very many with his best match in TNA being nearly five years ago)

I'm guessing the Mickie appearances are just for the UK tour. Probably got TNA to fly her and the kid overseas with Magnus, drop the kid with Magnus' family and work the tour. Interested to see what Drew does but I'm guessing this is just for the UK tour as well.

Hearing that Grado came out to "Like A Prayer", like he does in all the other promotions he appears in. Good luck getting that one cleared to air on Destination America.

So how does Drew go to the company where Taryn is at but she is supposed to be the reason he got his pushed killed after they got into that fight. Any bets TNA tries to make them together and make it an angle.
And why is Al Snow wrestling on tv in 2015.

To be fair, there may not be an issue between the two of them anymore, they could be fine with each other. The whole thing of him getting his career killed by her was a Vince McMahon Alpha Male bullshit thing. As for TNA using it, I'd say if Drew is more of a permanent part of the roster it is 95% likely.
