I think TNA managed the live show really well. At one point it did seem to drag a bit, like they were unsure what was next but other than that & the audio going AWOL during the Consequence Creed Video (For me anyway) i didnt notice anything big that went wrong.
I also thought the live show was very well handled. It almost felt taped though, which I dont know if its a good thing or not. Good job with Stings return live as well. Too bad the ratings didnt reflect what they were looking for.
I like that Devine has the Paparazzi cam but i think Tenay should have put over Devine & Shelley history. Shelley fired him from paprazzi productions less than two years ago. I figured thats why he had the camera but no mention was made of it
Paparazi Productions was pretty sweet and I think they should have mentioned it as well. I thought this was a pretty decent match.
The LAX vs Steiner & Petey match was good for what it was. A match to put over LAX & to keep Petey taking the falls so Steiner can continue the initionations. Even tho it was a six person match Salines & Khan where never legal. Not a bad thing because neither are great wrestlers.
Petey should maybe oh I don't know win maybe one match. This initiation seems a little stupid if he keeps losing IMO. I like the overall initiation series and its done well, but they need to mix it up by having Steiner whoop his ass even when he wins. Eventually Petey can go shithouse heel and turn on Steiner as well.
I dont know what is up with Roode vs Booker. They are more than capable of a great match together but for some reason they always come up short.
I actually really like this angle and commend Booker for wanting to put Roode over. Both men are coming off pretty well in this fued and I like how it playing out.
I'll be honest, the Karen Angle segment was boring & did nothing for anyone except to have her on the show.
Yeah gee....I wonder who it is.....
The main event, while not a great match technically, was a really enjoyable match. Sting was always going to get the win & the post match attack from Cowboy was brilliant. I've said it for ages, He has the potential to be main event, All he needs is one big feud. I think this could be it.
I dug it overall alot. Cowboy at the end wasnt even that necessary. Could have saved him for next week. And yes, I downloaded iMPACT before Smackdown this week.
