TNA iMPACT 2/22: LAX vs Team 3D: Belting Pot Match

[Ace Diamond]

pretty decent show.

I guess I just don't see why they can't just tell the wrestlers, "There's the ring. You got 15 minutes. Go to work." Why does every match need some stupid name or stipulation or whatever.

Seriously, a "belting pot match!?"

[The Line]

yeah, I can agree with the stipulations. The stipulations should only be in the X division, or with Abyss

I like the idea of a 2-3min squash match (every week or two, not regularly), a few 5-7min matches and a 10min main event.

That doesn't sound like much...right? I just described what could max out to 27 minutes, allow 15 minutes of backstage build. Of course if TNA wants "EVERY" wrestler on the show, I can understand the problem with the idea, but it is just silly to say "We Are Wrestling" when all it is now is "We Are Wrestling...on our PPVs"

I just wished THE AUSTIN STARR would have one the ladder match. Oh well. I just hope they don't job out THE AUSTIN STARR to Backlund

I blame Russo.

Yeah, he's my scapegoat. So what?

I agree man...some people are way to critical

I know.


If it was 44 minutes wrestling, no talk, people would be complaining about how the characters aren't developed or anything.

Of course. But it would be a completely different set of people.

I feel a lot of the people would be the same. But I don't mind the complaining really. I still like the show

Somebody give this man a contract.

(...and a suspiciously long table with a huge TNA logo???)

I'm thinking it was a Huge TNA logo with a table just happening to be attached to it

Does anyone remember how much wrestling vs backstage time there was, when Raw was only 1 hour from 94-96. I remember alot of squash matches. Just wondering? I am sort of comparing TNA TV to WWF 94-96.
