Very good iMPACT. I was hoping I'd see some new power moves out of Tomko, but he didn't embaress himself, and that's a 100% improvement from his WWE run.

So if I read that right, out of one hour, 11:45 was wrestling. How is that compared to ECW or an hour of Raw or Smackdown?

[Nuke is Good]

I was hoping for a Senshi or Sonjay Dutt comeback.

[THE Dinobot]

Man, not even one single five minute match? That's sad, even by iMPACT! standards.

[Michael Coello]

It always seems longer when I watch. Might just be me,though.

well that's usally because impact is at such a fast speed that people usually don't notice it.

I remember a time when I watched and enjoyed impact because of the great workrate of the matches(plus the time given to them). Now, the hour is all about garnering a decent rating and furthering storylines for their monthly ppvs. I swear, no match lasted longer then 3 or 4 minutes. It's sad what TNA'S done to their 1 hour to shine a week. It's completly turned me off of the product.

The RVD/Lashley match was longer alone...if that helps.

Since when did Green Lantern Fan join the boards?

[royboy8]

^ Yep, unreal. Tna completly ditched what people like me use to like about the product(on their weekly show anyways). Why are they trying to be the E? They arent even close just go back to how they were.

good point your 1000 percent right

['Sweet n' Sour' A. A. Estrada]

Well, the show went by lighting quick, so the somewhat short matches didn't seem short at all.

Damn. "We are wrestling" TNA? *shakes head* Sigh.

EDIT: Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the show but, don't claim be an alterntive or "wrestling" when you are no where close.

[Michael Coello]

If I can be serious for a moment, I'd like to say that I don't like determining enjoyment by the time of matches or anything. If I'm entertained, I'm entertained. Sometimes, a match can be good no matter if it goes 2 minutes or 2 hours. If I feel like I got something out of watching the show for the time it's on, then that's fine with me.
