Official Jan 4 Impact thread(updated)

From what I understand, Hardy will be backstage, but he is not coming to wrestle. He is there because he is friends with those guys.
*edit* I could be wrong.

Jeff Hardy to Appear on iMPACT Tonight!?

Posted by: Wrestling-Radio.com



- Word is Jeff Hardy has arrived in Orlando, FL at the iMPACT Zone and will appear live of tonight's show after the Steel Asylum match. More Soon.

I am watching iMPACT right now, and I've got to admit I have not been this excited about wrestling in a long time.

Ric Flair, Sean Waltman, Jeff Hardy, Ric Flair, Scott Hall, Shannon Moore, and Eric Bishoff and it's only been an hour.

Watching it to STL, Just tuned in though

Missed all these guests by Deangelo getting a win over Wolfe. That is a nice booking decision by TNA. Hopefully this leads to a nice substantial push for the Pope.

I'm mainly watching WWE. My dad has the remote. I missed a lot of both. We are also watching Poker. But now we have been going back and forth between WWE and TNA. I'm not going to lie though. TNA looks fucking awesome and I might try and find some time this week to watch it completely through.

Yeah, some guys on the Justin.TV chat have been saying that WWE is quite shit actually. I don't know how true it is but I am following live results and nothing big has been happening. HBk and Hart having a truce ... That's it.

Val Venis, Orlando Jordan, The Nasty Boyz, and Sting have all been shown as well.

This is getting huge, I never....never, thought Hulk Hogan would make this kind of iMPACT.

I flipped to Raw and saw Evan Bourne and Sheamus...I must say Abyss vs Samoa Joe was a lot better, and I think that if TNA switches to live broadcasting even on Thursday's then they are going to kill WWE this year.

Also we have Styles vs Angle for the World Heavyweight Title in the Main Event.

It is very much more wrestling than segments, and it has been very entertaining.

WWE had DX vs. Jerishow. It wasn't that good. The match that Irish dude Shamus had against Evan Bourne was a nice little match. But I just saw Jeff Hardy on TNA and marked the fuck out. I was like AWWWWWWWWWW SHIIIIIT. TNA = Awesomeness tonight.

Yeah, This TNA episode is awesome. One bad thing though ... Hogan is going heel it seems or heelish tweener. Which is not a smart move.

Well they could use a heel Hogan to put over some of their faces. Instead of using Hogan to just squash their faces. I am kind of disappointed at this Main Event of Kurt Angle vs. AJ Stlyes because I'm sure it has happened before. But I think I rather watch this than whatever WWE is doing right now. I'll try to check on commercials and see if they hook me.

I was shocked that Joe vs Abyss was a good match. It had good psych, but I'm marking for Angle vs Styles.

Can we have 3 hours of TNA Live every Monday?

And SOL, Styles vs Angle had a draw in their one on one meeting, every other match has involved other people like Sting or Daniels.

AJ vs Styles = Wrestling Clinic

Also, Both men have stepped this match up another level.

Tomko is here!!! ... and didnt unmask yet

Anyway, Hogan ...

if you saw the interview of JJ, Hogan interrupted him and told him TNA aint about him and how Jarrett drove TNA into the ground. It was just shit to make him look like that on the first show.

To me, There is too much authority on TNA

Alright, didn't know that. Thanks for that cause I haven't been following TNA at all. I changed to Raw and it was the end of a commercial of Hulk Hogan telling you to watch TNA. lmao Randy Orton vs. Kofi? I'm sticking to TNA for the rest of the night until iMPACT ends. I have been defending WWE for a while but this match is really good. And I liked the Joe match against Abyss as well. Changing back and forth between Raw and iMPACT has been a lot of fun. I hope they permanently move iMPACT to Monday nights.

This match is PPV quality

Angle kicks out of 2 styles Clash's

That really was a great quality match. Watching Raw now because Vince and Brett are out.

That was a great match, and I am marking for the wrestling and non segments, that is what wrestling is about ladies and gentlemen.

They were quality segments, But Angle Vs AJ was best Impact match of all time. No doubt.

I did not see much of Impact, but I will be watching the replay. Angle vs. Styles before BFG was great and I know that this one was too. How naked did the Beautiful People get? Please post some pics of that segment.

Well I just got though watching RAW, but I taped iMPACT! and I'm gonna watch it tonight and post the results.

It was blurred out, but I think they were topless.

Damn, I really want to see them naked...and I really want to see them kiss.

Plain and simple, iMPACT DESTROYED Raw tonight. Raw had Bret Hart and after that, nothing too exciting happened. TNA put on one of the best shows I have seen in a long while. Besides Morgan/Hernandez vs. Stevie/Raven, they really didn't have one bad match. All were given substantial time and had very fast paced action. Even Joe/Abyss was a good match. Styles/Angle was one of the best matches I have seen in quite some time. If TNA keeps this up, then they will easily outperform WWE in no time. But the ratings probably won't be making any significant turns anytime soon.

I was pissed to not see Van Dam, Kennedy, or Heyman. They were the ones I wanted to see.

Ratings will turn soon. Most fans know about TNA. Once they hear about how it is getting better they will switch. Especially with all these big names.

Just look at WCW

They reckon Kennedy and Heyman have signed but wont be on air for a few more weeks.

Far enough, Too many debuts on one night aint good. They have to spread it out.

WCW went out and got every former WWE talent they could and built a promotion around them. That was a total failure for WCW and that exactly what TNA is doing now. Hogan, Wolfpac, Sting, Flair, Hardy, Heyman, Kennedy, were have we seen those names before. I will admit that I am far more interested in what will happen with Flair in TNA, then I am with Hogan. Flair can still give a great match and Hogan....can not. I will not miss Jeff Hardy one bit. He went to TNA because they don't have a strict drug policy and their talent can do stuff like stalk people and get DUI's. Farewell Jeff Hardy. Now TNA can worry about whatever controled substance Jeff is on.

What the hell is Buba the Love Spounge doing with TNA? Do they really need another backstage interviewer? They already had JB and Christy, is Hogan going to give all of his friends jobs with TNA?

Here is the difference, I think Hogan is serious, and I think that his friends will start putting people over quickly.

I believe the nWo knockoffs are going to feud with Foley and Jarrett.

I think if they sign old ECW guys and let them do their thing with one another, sign old WCW guys and let them do their thing with one another, then create new younger stars it will be fine.

Keep in mind, WCW and ECW fans are still out there and if TNA doesn't put the same people over again then it could be fine.

I expect Morgan and Hernandez to win the title at someone, and Elijah Burke is a star rising, him and Jordan could do wonders.

Plus consider all the old TNA guys WWE has signed. Jeff Hardy at one point, CM Punk, Colt Cabana, MVP, Monty Brown, Vance Archer, and even Chris Harris.

That worked well with the exception of one.

Firstly, Heyman and Kennedy aint in TNA yet.

And at the moment, Apart from Hogan they are not building TNA on these guys. They are building TNA on AJ Styles, Daniels, Kurt Angle (Who I personally see as a TNA guy these days), Jeff Jarrett and Foley (WWE, Sure).

I look forward to seeing TNA and WWE push each other to be better and put out a better product. I will not choice TNA over the WWE, but the competion will be good for the fans. We will benifit from the ratings war. I do not care to see the nWo or the Wolfpac, whatever you want to call them and it will only be a matter of time before those guys are winning titles, mark my words. I would however, love to see Ric Flair vs. Sting one more time.
