i feel like reaction should have been a different day... Bingo. If ya leave your shows with enough of an intrigue to catch the next show, Reaction on a different day would be the perfect way to bridge the suspense for "what's-going-to-happen-next".

Hmmm...puzzling. It drew decently considering it's time slot. What is going up in it's place? I won't really miss it but it would still be good for the TNA product to have another hour sometime during the week.

Here's hoping Reaction gets cancelled in favor of Xplosion (or another Heat-esque show) going on Saturdays on Spike, or something like that. Seriously, you have this bloated roster and a 3rd hour of programming, but you don't USE it to showcase your lower-card/mid-card talent? COME ON! [/gob]

Or they could, you know, trim their roster and actually make the most of their two-hour show...

Not sad to see it go. They were starting to depend on the guaranteed overrun too much as it was, I recall recently being home to watch Impact for a change, and the DVR shut off as the main event entrances were starting, and the entire main event was in the Reaction overrun.

What other show will teach us things like How much boob is more than a handful? These guys are solving all of life's important mysteries! It would be a disservice to America to cut their time back in favor of silly things like professional wrestling.

They really should just replace constant Manswers and 1000 Ways to Die repeats with Hollywood Hogwash, The Dreck Squad, The Mularkeys, Dumbin' It Down, Sheriff Lowbrow, and possibly Home Improvement.

I agree that a different day and time would've done wonders for ReAction. Maybe Tuesday or Wednesday since there's not much on those day and is also not competing with any other wrestling shows (except for NXT, which isn't even on TV). Also, stay away from 11 PM. Go with 8 or 9. Conan's sorta taken over that timeslot, especially with TNA's key demo. Not to mention The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Leno, and Letterman.

Yet another thing that people like about the company that disappears. They have a knack for this kind of thing.

Hopefully they can make Reaction an online show, then. On the bright side, they might cut down the length of some promos and backstage brawls since they can't finish the main events on Reaction anymore.

Well that sucks. I liked Reaction. It gave us James Storm in bikini briefs.

That's certainly interesting, especially since Bischoff said Reaction was a big deal for the company.
I guess people wanted to watch wrestling on a wrestling show. Who would have thought?

It's only shot was on straight after iMPACT. People would completely forget about it if it didn't have that lead in.
I watched ReAction once and don't feel like I missed anything at all. It was an interesting idea but it accomplished nothing.

Meltzer says it was mainly because spike felt they couldn't show repeats of it, unlike manswers or UFC. It also cost a lot to produce.
