I thought the show was good, don't get me wrong. But, the end seemed a bit jumbled.
Also, Taz mentioned that the group of 4 were not with the roster, yet all are still on TNA's website page except for Tommy Dreamer. Now, I know they still have Daniels and ODB, but at least these guys were on television for awhile.
I think they really could have helped with a point where all the guys you knew were together were in the ring, against others who were against. Also, having Dixie inviting them, if you will, kinda takes away from it. But, it left with a lot of confusion, and if it does well next week in the ratings, then it was a good thing.

Douglas Williams, Magnus, and Okada obviously love TNA the most to go first.

The look on the Pope's face was pricelss after Dixie said that she invited the ECW guys.
They should have just freeze framed it on his reaction and ended the show on that.

I'm sorry but the MEM/Front Line/ World Elite brawl was way better. Way better. That brawl is untouchable. Best Pier Sixer in history. People were arrested. PEOPLE-WERE-ARRESTED!! All we need is ROH doing it, and I'll be happy. I'm hoping that Chikara does it, with guys dressed as Ghengis Khan, Atilla the Hun, Ninjas, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, and General Patton. And the mastermind...

I liked the show. The ending was a bit clusterish and yes as mentioned before, it was no where near MEM/WE. However this has an interesting dynamic and it seems the IWC was worked a bit with ALMOST everyone thinking Abyss was w/ECW faction. We shall see where this goes

The brawl tonight lacked realism and emotions. The first Nexus beatdown had it. The MEM/Front Line/ World Elite arena riot had it. The NWO destroying people backstage at Disney MGM Nitro had it. The fight tonight was a bunch of guys doing a standard brawl with folks getting confused about who they were suppose to be fighting.

I wish the Pope vs Matt Morgan was a bit longer and I didn't like Jay Lethal losing to Jeff Hardy but other than that Impact was solid tonight.
Also Velvet had the line of the night with "Dumpy Ass".

Guys, can't you just try to enjoy a new angle. They are trying SOMETHING new. Christ. Stop comparing it to Nexus. Were any TNA fans on the wwe board comparing that angle to the Horsemen or the nwo?

The ending was very clustered but It has me wondering now who Abysses "They" are. I for one say Abyss is being led by Kevin Sullivan, Zodiac, Kamala and the Yetay!

Overall this episode of Impact was decent set up a lot of stuff. But the brawl at the end was a bit of a cluster but pretty entertaining none the less. All in all I would give this episode a 6.5 with the non-brawl part getting a 6 and the brawl adding the .5. TNA's quality has been much more consistent since about April.

so then you'll be leaving now to go back to the wwe board, right? Surely you won't stick around and bash a product you don't watch or like In truthfulness, I probably won't do either of those. I more than likely won't comment in either board since they both suck.

That was actually pretty good. That was at least 20 minutes in and they were still ringing the bell. Gotta love how the British Invasion surrendered immediately when the cops arrived.

Actually, before the name "Nexus" was coined, a bunch of people referred to the group as "NXT World Order" or other stuff along those lines. Just sayin'.

New? If you count rehashing an angle that happened 5 years ago (which was an angle/storyline that was rehashing a company that went out of business 4 years prior to that), then yes that was completely fresh and new.

I guess it's something new if you don't count ECW invading WWF/E in 1997, 2005 & 2006 or TNA in 2002/3ish I believe. Also it is fair in my opinion to compare it to Nexus atleast how it got started because they're both invasions of sorts and are in a main storyline.

Except this one was building a few weeks instead of spontaneous, they were mostly seen as faces instead of heels, this one is a smaller group and more experienced, instead of the larger upstarts, and THEY WERE INVITED!
