I don't see why it's a bad idea here to run a clip show. 1) It is used to help get people more involved with TNA. 2) They have to film a new episode of iMPACT that same week(I think), so they did this as not to overbook. 3)(Hey! I counted to 3!) Most of the recent PPVs have been really good. #1 and #2 I agree with, gives a chance for viewers who are not familar with TNA to see some of their best matches, I guess nothing from this month or last month will be shown I imagine. #3, not so much, IMO. The last really good PPV that I personally thought I got my money's worth for was the Bound For Glory PPV, solid card, and a different crowd away from those idiots at the Impact Zone.

Sting vs. Jarrett: BFG 06 Joe vs. Daniels vs. Styles: Unbreakable 05 Styles and Daniels vs. LAX: Ultimate X: No Surrender 06 Christian Cage vs. Abyss: Lockdown 06 Joe vs. Styles: Turning Point 05 I'd replace Joe vs Styles with Joe/Angle Genesis 06.

What in the hell is a reverse battle royal? Does that mean you start outside and have to be thrown in the ring instead of out of it? It's sounds Russo-ish. Essentially. They're fighting each other outside, first seven (I think) in the ring move on to the next phase. And why ever would you think Russo came up with this? (For the record, it was under his regime...)

Honestly I don't think this idea is as bad as people are making it out to be. They're gonna show 5 of their best matches, what's so bad about that? A live show would be cool, but honestly, I think this would do a better job of getting new fans interested rather than just a longer episode of Impact would.

It's like "Yeah the other network is showing a dog show instead of the wrestling you crave, so we'll show you matches you've already seen and you'll love us for it". It just comes off really dickish to me.

What I'm saying is they're acting like no matter what they show people in this timeslot people will watch it because it ISN'T the dog show.

Seems like a good idea to me. Attract some new fans with some of your best matches.
1) AMW vs. XXX cage (Turning Point 04) 2) AJ vs. Daniels vs. Joe. (unbreakable 05) 3) Joe vs. Angle II (Turning Point 06) 4)Any Ultimate X match (probably the on that 2 hr special back in 05) 5) Sting vs. Jarrett (BFG)

Honestly.. who watches dog shows on TV? I seem to find a dog show more dull than a wrestling show. Majority of people would probably agree with me whether it be wrestling or non-wrestling fans.

Don't you remember people saying they keep watching RAW,SD!, ECW, or iMPACT, even if it's bad, because it is wrestling?Same basic principle. Also, about the ad campain, I thought it was "We won't let Monday go to the dogs", but I know how it can sound pompus and such.

I mean a simple "This Monday, Everyone will experience a deep IMPACT!" Lame, but it's better than that.

It just comes off really dickish to me. The thing Is YOU as most TNA fans have already seen em but they are not aming to please die hard TNA fans they are on that time slot to steal RAW viewers that migth not have given TNA a good chance. Five really good ppv quality matches will do that job a million times beter than some Russo booked 2 hour live impact.

So they'll win some fans until Thursday when they see a Russo-booked 1-hour taped Impact.

I wouls assume they would use the LockDown match with Sting's crew vs. Jarrett's crew
Would also be great to show the LAX vs. AJ/Daniels Cage Match
