I really hated this show. Impact went from horrible to very good, back to horrible in less than a month worth of shows and it may be hard to beat this show as one of the worst of 2009. Its like they have a different booker for every two weeks of tapings. I can't think of any positives about the show and I won't begin to list all the negatives. A few of the negatives that stand out. 1. poor build to the next PPV as they mentioned the name and I know Angle wants in the four-way match and that is all that was explained. 2. Beating two of your top tag teams (LAX and MCMG) with thrown together opposing teams is really inexcusable. 3. A lot of new character debuts on the show with no background on them or any reason for any viewer to care. 4. Don West was awful on commentary. I could go on but its not worth it.

Mick Foley really seems to have found his niche in TNA, and it's making for a more enjoyable performance. While it's nice TNA has a lively tag division, as opposed to WWE, the matches are so quick and some guys are given little to no backstory, so it's tough to get into. TNA can't seem to decide whether Abyss is a serious character or a comedic character, and that's hurting his direction. Good to see Brutus Magnus has lost the ring gear and gimmick he was originally saddled with. Sorry, but Doug Williams does not have the look of a star.

TNA's version of a stretcher match was odd, but Awesome Kong dominated, as she should have. The image of Al Snow as Suicide did make me chuckle a bit, and since they addressed Daniels as Suicide, I guess Kazarian is close to returning. I really can't believe they're having Nash wrestle as much as they are. He should be saved for special occasions, as his being limited in the ring gets exposed quickly when he's out there as often as he has been lately.

This wasn't an incredibly impressive show, but it was fun. The Guns got a decent amount of screen time. The bit between Kurt and Foley was oddly amusing as well. The main event match had a fairly stupid ending to cap off a fairly stupid Samoa Joe angle, but that's just about all that's dragging this show down.
