Shane Bennett of Frankfort, Ky. (1.0): Best Match: Yeesh Worst Match: The idea that this will ever streamline into a wrestling show. Oh man, I haven't been following Impact in quite some time; I just read reactions on PWTorch after the shows. This time I found myself with the "opportunity" to do so, and being a lifetime Christian and Kurt Angle fan, I figured I would see what they were up to. I am sorry I did. I don't understand how anyone can threaten Vince McMahon with this show as a replacement for his brands. As crappy as Raw has been - and, folks, it has been crappy - nothing truly compares to the illogical booking and uncool sophomoric humor that has taken the place of some of the most innovative wrestling matches that the sport has seen in awhile. I don't want to throw stones, but I assume this is due to the writing styles of one, Vince Russo, who is the biggest joke to ever come out of wrestling; and that is saying something. I have mentioned a couple of times before that Sting is nowhere near producing the ratings, merchandise sales, world wide awareness of the product, or anything that could justify his lofty salary and seat of authority. TNA has a roster of talented wrestlers from top to bottom and instead of allowing them to perform their craft the audience is treated to a mega Sting "Pat my own back" storyline. "No one respects the business I built." An open letter to Sting: Dear Sting, You didn't build anything. Ric Flair practically carried you to matches and when he was done, you borrowed a gimmick from the departed Brandon Lee and a film that is now nearly 20 years old. The business that you "built" was called WCW and it died doing the exact same "old school vs. new school" stupid feud that you are involved with today. You didn't leave anything behind for the new athletes because your legacy died in Georgia. Step aside and leave the business to the guys who can truly get it done in the ring.

Ian Denbow of Bowie, Md. (3.0): Best Match: Velvet Sky's dress. Worst Match: Most everything else. I don't even know where to begin on this show. I watch TNA every week, and I honestly am contemplating why I even bother at this point. We wait the entire show for the Jarrett-Sting confrontation, and really, it didn't even happen. Jarrett popped up on the stage. Okay. That's intimidating. Way to sock it to Sting. Stand there with your neo-hippie shirt shirt, hair, and acoustic guitar. Are you going to have a non-violent protest? Get outta here. And for the third straight week (that I can remember), there was no main event in the main event slot. Don't get me wrong, I liked the Sting promo the first week. Beyond that, it shouldn't be in the final slot. Moving along.... If Nash doesn't turn on Joe this weekend, I'll be highly surprised. That whole hug in the ring was TNA saying "Here - here's what we're going to do. and since we don't really know sh--, we might as well just tell you ahead of time so that you can prepare yourself". At first I was annoyed, but now I understand why Angelina Love was in the beauty pageant. Who in their right mind would beleive that Taylor Wilde with her messed up grill could beat Velvet Sky (who I think is the hottest woman in wrestling period) at anything relating to a beauty contest? Angelina (who, granted, also has a messed up grill) had to be it because of course the face wins, even though the heel should've here. I could do without Kute Kyp, but I just look at Velvet Sky and try not to notice him. Abyss vs. Christian - okay... why? It feels like TNA likes to give us these opportunities to see something cool, but they suck so unbeleivably bad at actually delivering something, that of course there was a run in. God forbid one goes clean over the other. As far as the Dutt-Lethal thing goes, Lethal is the most entertaining wrestler out nowadays in my opinion, but come on. This whole fued just continues to be the most moronic piece of crap fued ever. So Cal Val has got to be the dumbest character in the history of wrestling. A ladder match to see who marries her. Riiiiiiiiiiiight. Frank Trigg vs. A.J. Styles, Maybe. Here's to hoping there's no outside interference, and maybe I'll get to see something that doesn't annoy the living crap out of me. Ouch at the nasty gash that Roxxi took. Here's to hoping that Christian walks out the champ on Sunday. I don't know that we're really supposed to care, but hey - whatever. TNA is wrestling's equivalent of blue balls. They build something up to the point where you neeeeed to see it. Then they just make you wait until NEXT week. it's like - come ON - at some point does someone need to sit them down and tell them that they need to start delivering on a more timely fashion? I'm not a promoter and even I know that. Two points went to Sky's dress, which was the real knockout, and one point went to Don West for the line of the night when Love was removing her robe "She looks like she's done this before." My fiancee and I lol'd for real on that one. Funny, and I'm sure true. Kurt Angle looks like a thumb.
