The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly: TNA Impact Review For 9/30

This was a solid main event that I enjoyed a great deal. I could be wrong but I think Angle may have bladed himself a bit too deep. It seemed to me like he was bleeding a little too hard.

When I see that kind of stuff I have to question Angles sanity. Still, Angle trooped on as he always does and gave the fans a solid main event. When Abyss gave Angle his shock treatment midway, I thought he might have broken Angles body in half.

I even have to give props to Abyss for the 350 off the top rope. Angle is nuts, but he sure as heck can wrestle. After seeing this bout I cannot wait for Bound For Glory. Even with the no contest finish, I would still say this was an awesome match.

The Bad

Open of the the show

The show starts the show off with a promo. While Angle has never been the best mic worker,I usually enjoy his promos. Tonight was not one of them.

He starts of by wishing Hogan well while he is in the hospital. Then he discusses his opponents at Bound For Glory, but he first has some business to attend to.

He tells us all that tonight he is going to take Abyss out in a steel cage. This leads into a lame brawl with Abyss that goes on for a tad bit too long. It seems like just about every week we are treated to an Abyss backstage beat down.

I can't wait for 10/10/10, that way we can find out who "they" are. Maybe then all this backstage nonsense with Abyss can stop.

Mr. Anderson vs. Samoa Joe
Winner Mr. Anderson

I was kind of torn on this matchat first; in one hand you have a hot hand in Anderson. In the other hand, you have a guy like Samoa Joe his is in desperate need of a solid push. Unfortunately for me this would become a non-issue. The match started off with a lot of potential, but of course it would be ruined. TNA ended this bout just as it was getting good.

Then they decided to give the mic to the big Snooz, Sting, and the Pope. While I have no issue with a good Pope Promo, I do have a problem with cutting short a good match for it. Why TNA has decided to drag Joe and The pope into this garbage is beyond me.

It just seems that TNA is trying to constantly to push this crap down our throats. Let's just hope all this garbage ends at Bound For Glory.

The Ugly

Ric Flair beats up a book

In an awful segment between Foley and Flair, we got to see a couple of things. The first thing we saw was a match made for the debut of Impact live. The second thing we saw was a couple of grown men acting goofy. Ric Flair beat up a book, and Foley and Flair punched themselves until they bled.

What the point of all this nonsense was; I have no idea. All I know is that it was way too long and way too painful to watch. I am praying to all the gods in the sky that Foley doesn't win. The last thing I need is to see is Mick Foley's arse. Never mind seeing someone kissing it.
