They're booking a f***ing survivor series match for the Thanksgiving Impact. How is that not terrible? I thought literally the exact opposite thing. Right after Impact, all I could think was "I can't believe Impact's gonna have a Suvivor Series style match - on Thanksgiving, at that - right after the WWE's Survivor Series PPV, and bah gawd, I'm far more looking forward to theirs than either of the WWE's. The execution's got me a little troubled, but honestly, I'm still looking forward to this more than Survivor Series as a PPV, personally.

They go to the trouble of pre-taping a bar attack on James Storm to get a bullrope match over, then have him do the opening promo segment on Impact & connect 100% with the fans while changing said bullrope match to a deathmatch. The deathmatch is then decided by a towel spot from his newer tag partner- all leading to him being the first eliminated in a tag match which ends in a schmozz.
Why can't TNA ever get ahead?

For me, TNA's biggest problems have boiled down to execution. They have solid ideas, they just execute them poorly. That's not the case here. Here, just the concept of what they have booked is goofy. It doesn't matter if the execution is great if the core idea is f***ing awful. THAT'S why people are tearing into this. I'm sorry but "wait and see" just doesn't cut it sometimes. Sometimes, you have to call a spade a spade. And to me, and from what I'm gathering based on this thread, several other people, this sounds like complete trash. Oh, yes, cause people around here are nothing if not unbiased about TNA.... ...NOPE. Not even f***ing worth it. Not gonna get into this with you again. Nah.

I think I've made my point and I completely see yours, I did say I agreed that this booking doesn't sound great. However I'd rather actually be looking at the spade, rather than just hearing about it in extremely vague detail, before I opened my mouth and ranted on it based on assumptions which is what's happening here. Since I probably won't be watching it (because of the holiday -- I watched tonight and enjoyed the show for the first time in a while), I'm going to go ahead and assume it was very good.

<-- Another guy who agrees that a Survivor Series match on Thanksgiving is just good stuff. They should do it every year.
...I do miss the Turkey Bowl though.

It was more the presumptions that people were making from the quote in the OP. How anyone is managing to break down how the match was going, what moves were happening and that Kurt was losing "fair and square" from that one very undetailed write up is astounding to me. In my opinion it doesn't sound like the best thing ever, it's not how I would want to see it booked but to call it straight up shit based on this is retarded. I could assume from that post that before each face was eliminated they put on the performance of their career just as easily as you could say the match sucked however I wont because I don't have the evidence and neither does anyone else right now. You're a cool guy. To get so worked up over someone's opinion of a TNA show that very well could be terrible that it causes you to start throwing around words like that... CARELESSNESS. I never got worked up and as far as I'm concerned I expressed my point in a way that wasn't lashing out and was easy to understand. I'm sorry that I used "that word" as a colloquialism and obviously as a synonym for idiotic, I'm not going to get into an argument over the evolution of language as I don't think this is the time or the place however I'm willing to admit that it was wrong. I do however think it's extremely short sighted of you to dismiss my point and the way I presented that point as me getting "worked up" when I was simply trying to present an unbiased view and outlook based on the OP in this thread. I'm going to go back and edit my original post to reflect this. Once again, I'm sorry.

Seems like this will be the first Impact I will miss in a long time. They are going to need more hooks than a Survivor match and potentially the worst women match of the year.

Not that I'm complaining by any stretch but has the Main Event Mafia been silently disbanded?

Angle's been a bigger heel than Roode ever since he got back from rehab.
"Wahhhh, don't disrespect my TNA HoF induction......ah, f*** it, don't even want it. Gonna kill you Roode."

Screw it, this sounds SO rediculous that I hope it translates to television as well as it reads because this is going to be freaking hilarious. I love it. I just wish Norv and Dewey would have got the upset, now that would have been even funnier!

Man, Angle's a douche. Now he's ruining a dinner he wasn't invited to.
