How many people, besides Joe in storyline world, did not see that swerve coming a mile away? According to Tenay, nobody saw it coming. "THEY REELED US ALL IN!!!!111" |

Three things coming out of tonight...
1. Angle is going to choose Karen as his tag partner.
2. Joe is gone.
3. TNA is done.

Yeah, that match bored me to tears. Just totally overbooked and underwrestled.
Needless to say, I was disappointed.

No, Guest will be his tag partner, employing the taunt where he waves a hand over his ear screaming "you can't HEAR me!". Don West will subsequently mark out/wet himself and Tenay will spontaniously combust. |

Russo has jobbed Samoa Joe into oblivion. They're turning him into the next Lex Luger.

So Joe was Tag Team and X-Division champion for an entire month and he defended those belts how many times exactly?

Joe is Samoan, so how the hell does a chair shot finish him? The chair should be mortally wounded! Or, wait, am I overthinking? |

Why would a promotion decide to morph itself into WCW? Did they not get the memo?

I think Jeff Jarret just has a boner for WCW because they made him a world champ when WWF jobbed him to a chick (well kinda a chick).

Since you mentioned Jarrett and WCW in the same sentence, I can bring this little factoid up. Jarrett's booking in TNA and Hogan's booking in WCW for his first five years are nearly identical. It's almost scary. |

Well, techincally guys, Joe DID defend both of them tonight. So once each. TNA really made their biggest babyface look like a fighting champion.  |

TNA really made their biggest babyface look like a fighting champion. Yeah, I suppose, but you'd think he would have had at least one defense maybe against Daniels or even in a handicap match against Team 3D, nah too easy. Let's have him come out and waste time with very WWE-esque segments with Karen/Kurt to close Impact. Nicely done,ugh. |

Yeah I agree on the Hogan thing. I think Jarret is third place for most NWA title reigns behind Ric Flair and Harley Race, that belt used to mean something, long before I was born though  |
