TNA Impact Reax #2: "I do not know if I can take much more of this completely horrible booking." Oct 19, 2007 - 2:12:42 PM
Sam Robinson of Baltimore, Md. (8.5): Best: The prospect of the MCMG match, Joe vs. Christian. Worst: The Black Reign and Misty spot. A really great show for the most part. I was really psyched to see Sabin vs. Shelly as those two are the soul of the X-Division. The 30 seconds we got out of them was probably the best wrestling of the night save for Joe and Christian. Now I was upset when 3-D came out until Ray said they were going to destroy the X-Division. At that point I was like "Okay, this could be interesting, now back it up" and then he said, "Why? Because we can!" and I was sold. I can't wait to see Sabin and Shelly run circles around the best hardcore tag team ever. Should be a great feud. I did like Kaz vs. Hoyt but the end was lack luster. Why is "BlackDust" so over with the booking crew and not with the fans? Let Dustin cut his own promos; we know he can do it (go watch some goldust promos to remind yourself) and drop the rat it's just gross and unappealing. Nice to see that Disco's still in good shape. Hopefully that will be the last bit of my TV time he takes up, though. I am ready to scream that Tomko has yet to turn on Christian; can't wait for that either.

David of Missouri (8.5): Thumbs down for Impact. Best match: Cage vs. Joe. Worst Match: Abyss-Disco. Oh my freaking lord! I do not know if I can take much more of this completely horrible booking. TNA has been doing this for a while. Have an awesome PPV that blows me away, then comes back with an Impact that is just horrible on so many levels. Vince Russo's cluelessness showed in several segments tonight, including the Nash/Angle segments where Angle is booked as a p*ssy. Junior Fatu's segment was probably produced by Russo because only he would allow Rikishi to say "Rick Rude, whatever his name is," and not realise that that makes Roode less of a star. Disco Inferno is back? I noticed that they're booking it as if Disco is a joke, and thats the whole concept. How is this money? Russo did this in WCW so many times and it failed every time. Why is Black Reign/Dustin Rhodes being pushed over Abyss? The stale Dudley Boyz are gonna destroy the X-Division. Well when the X-Division is booked to fail everytime they do this type of story, the X-Division's value goes down every time! Ray said "this is pro-wrestling" and dissed the X-Division like it isn't pro-wrestling? God TNA makes no sense. Lance Hoyt, Christy Hemme, and Jimmy Rave have been together for two weeks and they're already breaking up? WCW, WCW, WCW... Cage & Joe had a good match and Robert Roode does deserve a push. Awesome PPV, horriblely booked Impacts!
