Shane McKinley of Danville, Calif. (8.0) Best Match: Main Event. Worst Match: Petey Gets Zapped. I missed the first 30 minutes of Impact due to basketball (Hey, MMG loses yet again), so when I turned the channel, I was treated to Shaka Khan wearing a bizzare headpiece and Petey getting zapped. I wasn't too thrilled to watch the rest of the show. You know angles that don't go anywhere that for some reason won't stop? My next guess for Petey's next torture will be him being forced to drink water till he pukes, being stung by scorpions, or having his fingers smashed by a hammer. Somebody thought the Petey torture was a good idea. Much better executed and better paced show. With the matches that were put on, I wasn't embrassed to say that I watch this show. Some might say that TNA threw away a PPV match tonight with the main event, but I disagree. After digesting lame finishes and the awesome legacy that is Shark Boy for a good while, it was good to get back to the basics. Tonight was a reset of sorts, with new video packages and hopefully a new outlook on how the show should be run. I've always been skeptical of "interactive" things in wrestling (I would much rather have seen a "I Quit" Match instead).

Donnie of New York (1.0): Best match: Who cares Worst Match: Who cares  I am officially ashamed to be a wrestling fan, well a TNA wrestling fan at least. TNA tonight has pushed me over the edge to never want to watch them again. I cannot wait until WrestleMania when we get an actual wrestling show.  Say what you want about WWE, but they don't disappoint and make me feel ashamed to be a wrestling fan every single show I watch.  Adios, TNA. I hope you get rid of your writers or close down soon enough, because I'm sick of you ruining what is one of my favorite things in the entire world. What a joke.

Andy Goodnight from Houston, Tex. (5.0): Best: WrestleMania PPV commercial Worst: Execution of Live Impact. So let me get this straight: for you first live edition of a wrestling show, you open in the middle of a segment, give us a spotfest of a tag team match with no real story, and then for the next 30-45 minutes you give us videos and interviews? Are you kidding me? Even Raw back when it was first made live had better pacing than this, but what else is new with TNA? I thought the Team Angle sparring session was intriguing outside of a wrestling context; A.J. Styles would be interesting to watch in an MMA setting (I bet he could adapt). Suddenly (and unsurprisingly) Team Christian interrupts, Sting wants to fight Team Tomko, and the announcers immediately confirm it? Of course, I tuned out Tenay and West for most of the show because they have bad voices for commentating and because TNA doesn't know how to mix crowd noise with announcing properly. How can an announce team aid a wrestling match when neither the wrestlers or the announcers are trying to tell a story? Instead we get a marketing scam of "text this number!" so we can pay a larger cell phone bill in exchange for finding out info about a "special confrontation." I bet the ravenous sheep in Orlando fell for it, too. Seeing Robert Roode flop on the ground so he could hide under the ring to cut himself was both funny and revealing. I was looking forward to the Awesome Kong match until I saw that it wasn't the main event and wouldn't receive adequate time, so we got a quick match where the monster heel had to sell the SMALLEST MOVE from ODB and out of nowhere pick up the win. How can you protect your best women's wrestler if she looks like she gets winded after a missed splash and a few lame clubs to the chest? I'll stick with watching SHIMMER matches of Kong, where decent wrestling matches that tell a good story actually occur. I turned off my TV after the Kong match; I honestly don't care for yet another multi-man tag match that we see every damn week. Tune in for another live TNA next week when I continue to not care!
