I like that TNA gives it's viewers a reason to tune in next week (I've been enjoying the AJ Styles angle a lot).
I dislike how every storyline seems to take months and months to develop. And oftentimes the end result is either obvious (The Ms. Brooks and Robert Roode angle and this LAX deal with Shelly Martinez come to mind) or just doesn't pay off like it should (Abyss and James Mitchell's feud).
Not to mention this whole title briefcase thing has been dragging on forever, and looks to be continuing with the whole Steiner and Petey thing.

Wait Abyss has a new family secret??? How the crap can it be bigger than shooting is dad or whatever?
I bet they can script the next 3 months for Abyss out of that, in the end they reveal something like "His dad raped him" and the crowd goes completely dead.

Heels getting cheered? The hell you say?!
Geez, how many heels over the course of the year get cheered, let along since recent memory? I think it's par for the course, really.

I have a complaint about TNA's show last night. I know, I know. Batton down the hatches, prepare for war. Take a side, blah, blah, blah. However, did anyone else find the "Cornette gets a bonus for the 'awesome' Christmas show" to be completely lame? I mean, it just caused my eyes to roll. Sure, they're just keeping the Cornette/Mogan Old-School v. New-School angle going, but it seems kind of ridiculous that they're not letting anything but the writers decide what way it goes. Heck, I think I feel myself leaning into another complaint (They're like potato chips.). ODB and Roxxi are treated as heels (at least they use the ramp) despite getting cheers and chants from the crowd while the 'uniquely' nicknamed "Team Porno" who act stuck up around others (Read: JB) get access to the "Face" ramp just because of the high sexual overtones. Meh, anyway, this thread is mainly about the whole "Yeah, that show was AWESOME! So here is a bonus!" pat-on-the-back segment. It was kind of embarassing and also, it was like TNA was saying "Hey look! We just gave ourselves an excuse to do MORE shows like that! Hahahaha." Oh, and to counteract my negative outlooks...here are some positives. I did enjoy the "Struggle of AJ" since it makes him seem important (both want him on their team) and since I got an old-school WCW "We're out of time!" ending. Also, the MCMG/T&AJ was good fun as well. Alright...here we go! I actually haven't seen TNA in about a month because I haven't been home much lately, but there are two questions I have: 1. Faces and heels have separate entrance ramps? Is this a new thing with TNA (i.e. started over the last month), or has it been like this for a while now and I just never noticed it? 2. Is "Team Porno" their official team name now? Or is that an unofficial name that fans came up with like "Londrick"? TNA basicly had the separate entrances since leaving the Asylum. The only time they don't do it is at house shows (I think, never been to a house show) or the Outside orlando PPVs. Anytime there in the Impact Zone they had it. Which it's stupid to have when the who ramp and stage could be replaced with seating. Making the crowd bigger. Now as for as I know Team Porno is the real name of it I believe. Shouldn't be much of a surpised since Vince Russo is writing this stuff.

I say go with other such names for other tag teams. Team Family Comedy. Team Drama. Team Adventure Romance! Hell, rename VKM Team Snuff Film, because they're damn good at killing a crowd.

Also, as any 80s heel commentator could tell you, posession is 9/10ths of the law!!
