I've watched 40 minutes of impact. I don't know the storylines, and they don't explain them too well. Only thing that made sense to me is the Sabu/Rhino match with Abyss, and Hardy getting involved setting up a four way match at the PPV.Nash vs. Jarrett-again? Didn't they just do that? Danielson vs. Sharkboy.No comment.What came first-the chicken or the egg? Who came first, the Shark, or the Sharkboy?Now vs. Sanjay somebody.Well.............I'm going to bed!Should have went 50 minutes ago. 'Quake

Aw, c'mon Quake! You could have at least finished Daniels vs. Sonjay! Ah, nevermind. G'night Quake. All right, I admit I did finish watching the full hour. I'm a glutton for punishment! Love Kevin Nash quoting Bruce Willis in "The Last Boy Scout", -If you touch me, I'll kill you.For me to sit through another TNA show, it will have to be earlier in the day, it just wasn't worth losing sleep over. If they don't take time to show interviews, or promos, or explain the angles, maybe they should consider the old WWE style where the wrestlers' promos are played during a match. That would help a first time viewer be up to date on the storylines.This won't happen because they won't want to copy anything WWE does, or has done, but they really look like a copy of WCW with the wrestlers' entrances-coming through a tube with smoke. I know some people here love TNA, they do have some good talent, they just don't do that well with promoting their product. If my opinion makes me a heel, then so be it! Don't get me going or I'll REALLY tell you what I think of TNA! 'Quake

Nah, you're not a heel for not liking TNA. (Although, I am preferential to heels, as a rule. So it wouldn't be a bad thing anyway.) I'm only starting to watch them and you make some good points. There needs to be a little more explanation to hook the newish viewers. I know they want to stay away from what they perceive is a WWE-style of show, but without ANY explanation, there's something missing.
I did like the action and will probably make a habit of viewing (as a mom of a 3 year old, my Saturday nights aren't quite as action-packed as they used to be), but I'm with you, 'Quake. I need at least a LITTLE exposition to move things along.
And while I think Sharkboy is interesting... He's just a pale imitation. ;D

Although I am a big TNA fan, Quake makes an excellent point. TNA should realize that they have a lot of viewers who are watching for the first time, now that they are on Spike TV. They should try to clarify storylines wherever they can. And yes, this whole Jarrett and Nash thing is tanking big time. Ever since TNA debuted on Spike 3 week ago, Nash has been in the ring all of 2 minutes. He wasn't on live yesterday, and he's not scheduled for the main event 6-man tag next week. Why should I care that this guy is competing at a PPV if TNA doesn't even show me who he is? But anyway going back to your original point, the truth is that there aren't a whole lot of storylines to even provide exposition for. It's not that you are missing anything here.... TNA just doesn't have a lot of storylines/angles even happening right now. Perhaps this was a result of them not having TV all summer, but TNA is basically just matches with some minor rivalries at the moment. Daniels and AJ are feuding over the X-Division title, and that's basically it. Petey Williams, Chris Sabin, and Matt Bentley are in an Ultimate X match at the PPV, and that's why they are at each other's throats. Unfortunately, there really isn't much more to it than that! And saying that you aren't impressed with TNA does not make you a heel Quake.... it is opinions of new TNA viewers such as yourself that TNA should be paying the most attention to!

I think alot of TNA negatives are due to the time constraints of having one hour of tv a week. I actually think the roster may be a little too big for their needs right now. Every guy on the roster should have a match every three weeks on the outside..and at this rate there are some we wont see untill March.

I must say TNA is messed up. The biggest example was Jeff Jarrett as World Champion. Now the last PPV Raven was champion and did retain it against Rhino. Now next thing you know if you follow them on the net Jarrett becomes World Champion at a NON TNA event.
So instead of TNA having a title change on there show. We get this 2 min video of the ending of the match. Tell me how that makes TNA World title look good for there fans.
They did Nash vs. Jarrett once. Which was better then I thought match wise. Doing it again makes no sence. When Raven was screwed out of the title thanks to AMW. So what does Raven get out of it? Nothing. What is Raven current involdment at the big PPV? Nothing. So it like Raven gets screwed out of the title and basicly kicked to the curp in a way.
TNA can be great but they are still two unstable creatively. I mean some of the PPV matches don't have a reason. Somoa Joe is facing Jushin Liger. Now while I think it will be a great match. What is the background on it? Nothing. I watched Impact and there is nothing said about the match. I ask is how is that to hype a match involding maybe the greatest lightweight wrestler in wrestling today and maybe ever?
I mean The Hardy thing makes no sence being that all the last ppv Hardy was getting into brawls with Jarrett. Now there was no Impact match or anything between the two. The next PPV Hardy and Jarrett airn't even in the same match.
They have great wrestling but lack of reason for a lot of there matches.

I also posted comments on (W)rest of wrestling-what did you think of Sonjay, getting slightly off topic, talking about confusing booking for a first time viewer. I thought tuning in, AJ had switched heel, making Daniels go through 3 opponents to get a shot at his title. The whole angle there was backwards as the babyface is the one that has to "beat all odds" to win.As I already said, this did NOT put Daniels over as a heel. This should have been a 5-10 minute segment. Daniels cheats to beat the first two guys, AJ comes out angry, and starts handing Daniels his butt, then Daniels cheats again for a QUICK 1-2-3, people now think AJ CAN lose his title. By having Daniels go through two guys, and then bringing out AJ was stupid. What would it have done for AJ if he had beaten an already tired Daniels?.............. NOTHING! It would show that AJ needs to have him beaten down to beat him, and that's not a strong babyface. Reverse it all with Daniels as champion being a heel, making AJ beat two guys, then a quick, clean 1-2-3 on Daniels, now people think they're going to see a new babyface champ at the PPV. When is the PPV, anyways, they sure didn't push it. 'Quake

Yhea I think that TNAs main problem is that are only given an hour a week so they have no time to develope proper storylines and characthers (which BTW is much more important to me personally than how many flips a guy can do )
I cant really comment aboute wether or not they are properly explaning whats going on with the characthers as were a couple of weeks behind in the U.K but it reminds me a lot of the late days of WCW if I missed a couple of Nitros then I would have no idea whos meant to be the babyface or why that tag team now hates each other or whos fueding with who and who that guy is um yhea I am rambiling now,but hopefully TNA can pick things up as the WWE and the fans desperatly needs some solid competition rigth now.

To make your point Monty Brown is tagging with Jarret and Abyss next week. And he became a heel when...hoyt showed up? I dont get it. I like TNA overall but I do see the weaknesses.

As a new viewer (and one who wasn't very into either WCW or ECW back in the day), it's a bit of a change of pace for me. (Hence why a little explanation would be a good thing.) I'm still getting used to a lot of the guys in general. I'm kinda still in the "wow" stage right now. ;D
