Homicide's foot got stuck while he was climbing out. You could see him trying to knock his foot out while he was up there.

I'm still convinced that's what they wanted. I thought it was awesome to see the hometown crowd back Jarrett over Hogan right away.

Sting is going crow! The conscience of TNA and ghost of WCW past to remind everyone that Hogan and Bischoff are not to be trusted.

AJ Styles got put over to look like the best wrestler in the world last night. It's clear Bischoff and Hogan love him the way Hogan has been talking about Styles in interviews.
Yes, a lot of the stuff focused on the surprises last night, but it was fun.. and it's supposed to get the casual viewer interested.

i watched the whole show and dvr'd the other show. Gotta admit aside from the worst cage match ever I liked the show. Nah. That "Electric Cage Match" with Team 3D still is the worst of all time..

Maryse vs. Bella > Knockout Tag Match US title #1 Contenders Match > Pope vs. Wolfe Seriously bro? I personally wouldn't agree with his choices, but to each his own I guess.

I enjoyed Bischoff most, for some reason I have boat loads of respect for the man. But I definitely marked out hardest for Val Venis because I totally didn't see it coming. Surprise performance of the night goes out to the Pope. I am officially a big fan of his. What a character! He's your next big heel/ loner/ alternative face...whatever they need him to be. Pope's interview alone was great tonight. The man has voice and the moves... and I bet he'll be in for great things. Imagine.. if Dinero becomes the Austin of MNW:2

No Russo has been busy the past month writing the Val Venus Poker skit I don't care what anyone says. It took up so little time in the grand scheme of things, made Sean Morley look like a badass porn star again, and set up the ending of the show perfectly. No problem with that at all.

For me.. Bischoff,Hardy and Val..
I've always loved Bischoff with a mic. He comes off so much more naturally smarmy and evil than Vince ever did (in my opinion!!!). He's a guy you could never trust.
Hardy was just a major shock, but good for TNA. If this goes well, I bet the entire OMEGA crew ends up there as contracts expire.
And Val was one of my favorite parts of the attitude era, and I thought his interaction with the BP plus his confrontation with Mick were great.

On a seperate note, Sting's involvement in this should be very very interesting.

Way too many commercials in the first hour, especially between 8:50 and 9....with 5 minutes of commercials and 1 minute of show. I was really hyped up for tonght, but it was a big let down and very predictable to me. The Hogan disrespect for Jeff Jarrett was way over the line. Maybe it's because I'm close to 60 years old, and don't have the same ideas about wrestling as you young kids, but the show I watched was not the show you folks are describing at all. I think it sucked. The beauty of it was that it was well deserved. He's failed to take the company to the next level, and if the Angle/Jarrett situation is true, nearly lost one of its biggest attractions. You also play off the past tension between Hogan and Jarrett. The fans cheered Hogan when he took on the nWo to say there would be "No easy paychecks", but reacted differently when Jarrett was told the same thing. They set up multi-layered feuds.. situations where a face can be a heel because he's screwing someone they like more. Honestly, no one knows what to expect from Hogan after tonight. Is he the face, is he the hell.. right now he seems to be the man stuck in the middle.. That storyline alone could be gold if they get it right.

I've only read the results as I live in the UK but it seems like all the matches were very short, save the main event. Is this the right impression??? It was the old "Big Nitro" formula. A couple 7 or so minute matches, a sqaush , some big surprises, some backstage segments that were part of setting up the storylines, and then a killer main event. The Pope/Wolfe match was good, the Knockouts Tag match was great.

I'd best describe this iMPACT as "Yeah..., but..." Yeah, the first few matches lacked, but the other matches made up for it. Yeah, the BP segment was lacking, but the Val appearance made up for it. Yeah, the surprises were a bit lacking toward the end, but they still kicked some ass. Perfect description. I thought the BP segment with Val played out perfectly in the end. Also, Val returning to his womanizer days... awesome. It was also the old WCW strategy of throw everything out in the beginning, get people talking ,changed the channel and then have a solid show that's better than the competition.

The guy jumping between limo's had on white shoes, probably Tennis shoes.
Bischoff was wearing black loafers.

The TNA thread beat the RAW thread. Never thought I (or TNA) would live to see the day. 33% more show will do that. How many pages were made in each after 9pm? ' ....if Raw ends the way it's ending right now, TNA wins hands down...

RIght, so it's Foley and Jarrett vs the NWO now? Plus Hogan stuck in the middle on whether or not to run with his old buddies, or to do what Bischoff and him planned on.
