My guess is it fell into a thing where they were coming up with enough material they thought they could make a whole episode out of it then they realized too late they couldn't so the stretch was on.

Not the first time they done an episode like this. Back when they were doing the Lex Express arc they would have an episode about the March to Wrestlemania and shows like that to bulk up an arc and get episodes out quicker. I wouldn't be surprised if this was recorded the same day as Bound For Glory.

Better than the last one but once again not exactly a classic episode

I think a struggle right now is that by TNA standards the shows aren't really that notably bad or crazy or anything. I imagine it'll get more interesting when we get to dumber shit like putting the belt on Foley and Joe's heel turn and Team 3D gambling their careers for a tag title shot just to win by DQ rendering the whole thing pointless and TNA doing an unauthorized IWGP Tag title change.

There's also doing multiple whole episodes around Impact, they just don't have the content. In the past they'd do a PPV and the followup would be a shorter segment at the end, now they need to throw in a lot of padding.

I could understand it for like the "Warrior in WCW" arc, where he was only on two PPV's, but the Main Event Mafia was around for about a year and was a staple on almost every TNA PPV during that time. That's like twelve episode right there. Why do they need to pad that out with random Impacts? |

I am almost certain nothing of note happens in the Steiner Impact expect for Steiner returning to join the Main Event Mafia. No reason that couldn't have been a double feature with the Vegas Impact. |

I mean, I know Nash has a squash against Naito and Yujiro Takahashi around this time too. At least that will make for two things to talk about. |

I Can't agree with these guys that these shows are any good... especially Booker T at his most I'm here for a vacation mode...
I mean they're not completely awful... but they're not really good.
But my stance has always been even if TNA's match quality was good their storylines were almost universally terrible... and this impact was basically nothing but STorylines...
I mean at least Russo learned that the millionaire's club should have been heels... but it runs into the problem that the "new blood" arguing for spots and stuff on camera really just come off as whiny bitches... cause Russo with his worked shooty nonsense.

My main problem with the original Main Event Mafia angle was the longer it went, the less it became about the young blood talent trying to dethrone the entitled old guard and more about "will the Main Event Mafia self-destruct this week due to in-fighting"? An angle seemingly designed to get over the next generation of talent did nothing of the sort, and the struggles of guys like AJ and Joe just became inconsequential against Sting and Kurt Angle's squabblings. |

The Bloodline is crumbling! The main difference though is that the Bloodline is only designed to get one guy over, Roman Reigns, and the WWE has never made any insinuation that it was meant for anything else. At least you know what you're in for if you're following it. The Main Event Mafia was genuinely sold as a torch passing to the next generation of talent, but that just never happened. |
