True I think they've been through too much to get back to their roots but you got to find a formula somewhere that works. Yea monsters of the week was fun which lead to a good next program in Angels and Demons which lead to Armageddon which was when show was at it's best. For me, they had done so much questionable stuff over the years (and arguably evil stuff because they can't live without each other) that it was getting tough to root for them. Now they're at least trying to do it right. That said, there have been 2 or 3 points where they could have ended the series and it would have been a perfect cap. However, I honestly can't see there being much else they could do at this point. I think the original plan was for 5 seasons which is why those ones up until the end of Armageddon are so tight. Yup plus still got open ended questions like is Chuck "God." They both more than likely die at the end but how they die is up for debate. |

Will there even be an Impact thread and if so, will it be longer than 4 pages? It might be a preview of the Impact threads once they move to POP.

Imagine TNA probably wanted to do some best-of shows like they did for their last few Spike shows, given they're basically out of content from those tapings outside of the semifinals and finals.

Presumably they're still going to have to make a show for that last week, even if DA don't show it - they have commitments overseas they'll have to honour if they want to keep what little TV income they have. Best ofs are reasonably cheap, but if I were them I'd do one based on their PPV content this year, and one based on the TV shows, because the TV stuff is too schizophrenic to pull together in any form.

More like they are claiming they are leaving of their own choice to a network that will actually appreciate them. The same thing they said last year when Spike dropped them, they didn't get cancelled, they left it for a new one. I give them a month on POP. It's never their fault and yet somehow they keep getting rewarded with chance after chance. The roster was desperate looking heading into DA and it's just nasty now heading into POP. You're right, the roster going into DA was pretty poor but you still had Austin Aries, James Storm, Magnus, MVP and Samoa Joe. You also had some interesting midcard talent such as Gunner (Don't really like him but he worked hard in 2015), Kenny King and Low Ki. TNA was also in the hunt for Alberto Del Rio if the sheets are to be believed. Going into Pop your only top guys are Bobby Lashley (Who seems more focused on his MMA career), Bobby Roode (Who is almost 39 years old and is still being promoted as the "future"), Drew Galloway, EC3, Jeff Hardy (Who is allegedly leaving soon), Kurt Angle (Who is definitely leaving soon) and Matt Hardy (Allegedly leaving soon). They have a couple of appealing midcard guys such as The Wolves and er, um, uh...Andrew Everett? I could see TNA limping into 2017 with a main event roster of Abyss, Roode, Galloway and EC3. |

What i'm bout to say has nothing to do with this thread. You still watch Supernatural? Sheesh. I've followed it since then but haven't watched, to me it went down hill after beginning of season 7. Though I did here good things about last season. I have a completion thing with shows. It's been rough at times, it's still far from where it was in earlier seasons but it's been kind of interesting this season. Supernatural is arguably the best its ever been id say. |

Oh this is good, they don't want to conflict with the Survivor finale.  |

I was planning to watch Impact this Wednesday since I'll be at my parents' for the week but I guess not!

India Rep: When are you coming to India for the tour you signed with us earlier in late 2015? Dixie: Oh well we are just waiting to make sure the airports and airplanes are free of any terrorist threats and making sure its all good to send the guys there. India Rep: Its December of 2016!! You have been clear to come here a whole year!! Dixie: You can never be too careful...but don't worry we are going to show up. I promise you. |

It's been a while since I've watched impact but I think I like the new format & this Grassman is going places.

So... Where do people go if they want to riff on what's left of TNA, then?

So is this tonight's thread? Do we go from NXT London TakeOver to Josh windmilling The Pope for 2 hours?

You know TNA is in trouble when they can't even get enough people to make fun of it. It's like they're dying and too many people forgot they existed to give it a proper sendoff.

Appears they didn't even bother to tape anything new with Josh in his pillow fort. Asshats.

OK, at first I thought that was a "new" match between Matt and Davey, like a "rematch" which was actually another taped match previously unaired.
BUT it was just the first match re-aired?
HOW LAZY?
