Best segment Samoa Joe/Angle
Best move of the night...Hernandez putting the move on Gail Kim..awesome.
Tonight's Impact was absolutely awesome. Bound for Glory just got a whole lot better than I thought it would be. Awesome segment with Samoa Joe and Kurt Angle. I wondered how long it would take for them to pair them up and my question was answered tonight. Great move on TNA's part...they have really picked up the pace as they head into Prime Time on Spike. I loved Jeff Jarrett sliding into the ring and restealing his belt. Great heel move. The intensity between Samoa Joe and Angle felt so real it was eerie You can just feel chemistry between those guys. Hernandez' move on Gail Kim..sick but it was a train wreck and you couldn't help but watch. The closing video with Chris Jericho's band and the clips of all the TNA talent...it was a stunning show and the crescendo was a thing of beauty. It makes me proud to be a wrestling fan again. Tremendous effort by TNA tonight.

Impact was pretty badass tonight. Who employed in TNA thought it was a good idea to hire Jake Roberts. He could barely walk or talk, and I didn't understand much of what he said. Plus, him coming out of nowhere is as confusing as the whole Abyss/Runt/Raven thing to begin with. But hey, give Jake a payday, maybe he can go to the doctor and figure out what is wrong with him.
TNA actually following up on Kurt Angle arriving was good.
Christian and Norman was a horrible match, and come on Russo, Norman's football thing didn't make money in 1999 and it ain't now. Sharkboy saving him? WOW...Eric Young is still cool to me though.
I hope Sonjay Dutt or Jay Lethal turn heel and start something, cause them trying to be goofy isn't natural and comes off lame. Am I the only one who thinks Senshi's double stomp shouldn't be allowed? That is so damn dangerous.
The Kevin Nash bar tape was awesome. Despite the fact that the X-Division is booked like a joke in this storyline, I still love Shelley & Nash.
BG's interview was interesting. I like that Russo wants to try something different with Jeff Jarrett cause god knows he needs something different creatively, but the whole Dr. Phil stuff doesn't interest bar hoopers/UFC fans that TNA might wanna go after.
Damn, that Gail Kim bump was sick as sh*t. Got a hell of a reaction too.
The ending Joe/Angle thing was awesome. Awesome crowd reaction. It worked so much that the whole "don't let them touch before PPV" thing was out the window. It got me pumped for their eventual bout. Funny that Sunday is Sting/Jarrett, but we saw Joe/Angle last. Russo and Angle are actually making me interested in TNA more.

TNA is running on all cylinders right now. And as my friend said, "Is it possible to have every wrestler on the TNA Roster as your favorite?" Just about anyone can wrestle anyone in TNA and it's bound to be a good match.
The show gets a 10/10 and if I wasn't already planning on ordering TNA Bound for Glory, this would've put me over the top. Can't wait for Sunday.
