I had heard that TNA wanted people to watch the first five minutes because something big was going to happen...
...
...
... ummmmm... did I miss the "big thing" that was supposed to happen? Cause... we already knew that Hogan & Abyss were going to face AJ & Flair... that's not a "big thing."
EDIT: Well, it's 9 minutes in and Sting shows up. Not big.
EDIT 2: Oh, Sting turns heel. I guess that's what they meant. Not as super fantastic and exciting as I was expecting, but I guess enough that if I cared more I might consider it "big-ish" at least.

Wait.... THIS week was the Monday ep? I figured the Steve Austin Raw was gonna co-incide with that. Oh well, doesn't look like I missed much  |

Well, RVD showed up and was Sting's oponent. RVD won the match and promptly got his handed to him by Sting, with the help of his baseball bat.
Also, Jeff Hardy had some in ring activity at the end. Personal thought, are A.J. Styles, Sting, and Desmond Wolf, with Ric Flair, starting to form a new verson of the Horsemen?

I dunno, but all I know is that this week's Live impact is reportedly getting a 1.0 rating which is down from last week's Thursday episode that got 1.1. Guess squashing a guy like RVD in 20 seconds after his debut squash match wasn't such a great idea... that along with the Oldster and Flair hogging the main event spotlight by having not one, but TWO matches on the two hour show. How many younger guys that are on the roster didn't see action last night?

The X Division triangle match was good stuff. The Angle-Anderson segment with the Army "Lumberjack Match" was a good segment too I thought. (Chanting USA is pretty funny since Anderson is also American.)
Hogan and Flair wrestling is bad enough (they were fueding a decade ago and both should have retired then), but wrestling twice on the same show? And both of their sorry geriatric selves blading in a tag match on a non-PPV was dumb? Dumb dumb dumb.
This was probably the best Impact since January 4th but they still need to be over and done with the gWo crap.

speaking of blading, whatever happened to the Spike censors that wouldn't let Heyman's ECW show blood or weapons based violence, yet they pretty much gave Hogan and TNA full allowance? Strange indeed. And didn't Hogan do a double blade as did Flair?

ECW went defunct before SpikeTV started.
When ECW was on it was TNN and while they were trying to appeal to younger demographics at the time, they still weren't pushing it nearly as much as they decided they had to when they re-reformated to become SpikeTV the station, that bleeds testerosterone.

That and UFC being a ratings magnet (With blood, of course) probably doesn't hurt, either :-P
