  TNA Blog Zone – Jarrett Grows A Set
  By Kendra Bunyon on July 2nd, 2009

While we all know TNA Impact tapes their shows well ahead of time, I have tried to write this as if I do not know what’s going to happen each week. That has been getting harder for me since TNA has started taping a month’s worth of shows in one week rather than two shows every other week. Anyone who reads WNW knows at least the basics of what’s going to happen each week on TNA. We know ahead of time if a title has changed hands or if someone gets injured, but I try my hardest to write this as if I know nothing about what’s happened or what I am going to see on TV. So while some interesting things have happened at the tapings, I will not be writing about them until they appear on my TV.

I usually start trying to think about what to write here as soon as I wake up Friday mornings and the push is on when I am done writing the RAW play-by-play. I always try to find something interesting that’s relevant each week to TNA specifically or at least to wrestling in general. This week Dixie Carter handed me a topic, about on a silver platter! If you have not read her interview on the TNA website, you’re missing quite the laugh.

Carter actually said that they would not stop until TNA’s the “biggest wrestling company in the world.” I honestly do not know how she plans to accomplish this short of… No, I can’t think of a way to accomplish this. She continued on to say that they have set very high and realistic goals. All of those goats have been met or exceeded. I do not see how that is true as one of her goals is to be the “biggest wrestling company in the world.” I see a serious conflict here and only a couple of paragraphs into the interview!

Carter went on to talk about ratings. She said they have regularly beaten ECW on SciFi and are looking to catch SD! next. She claims that some people say that beating WWE’s number three show is no big deal (I don’t know who would say that) but she thinks it’s great considering their 300,000 viewers a week when they were on Fox Sports. But she claims the gap has diminished greatly between Impact and SD! over the past couple months. While this is true, she’s taking credit for it as if TNA is doing wonderfully. Yes, their ratings have improved, but SD! has suffered greatly in its move to MyNetwork and that so few people actually get that network compared to who used to be able to see SD! – more hypocrisy in my book. Though I do have to say she’s on the right track in saying that it’s bad when WWE’s ratings are down as it effects the entire industry. At least she has her eyes open enough to realize this.

The other place Carter is correct is in the TNA roster. She thinks that TNA has the best in ring performers in the world, led by the WHC Kurt Angle. While maybe not the best overall roster, TNA does have some of the best wrestlers in the industry today. Sadly Carter, Jarrett and TNA are letting them flounder while the legendary wrestlers are getting the ring time. She’s states, “I am overwhelmed at the star power in the ring.” I just wish TNA was doing right by them. Then she goes on to say that the biggest challenge in the industry is creating new superstars. I, personally, think she should be more concerned about the ones she’s not treating well with a lack of ring time and too short matches. She claimed that if there were more acquisitions that they would be big ones – whatever she means by that!

She finished up talking about a few of the wrestlers. She’s very high on AJ Styles, Matt Morgan, LAX, TBI and the Knockout Division. In her opinion Suicide has been a “great marketing and creative success.” Nothing at all about the wrestlers under the mask or how bad of an idea it is to have such a character after all the things that have happened in the industry, especially Benoit.

Basically this “interview” seemed more like a fluff piece that TNA decided to put up on their website to make themselves feel better. There was nothing hard hitting or poigniant in the interview and not much people cared about such as a possible “Wellness Policy” or why their writers cannot seem to come up with much originality right now. I think that the fans who do not know anything about the industry will think Carter is just wonderful for what she said, the rest of us see right through her.

All about MEM, where the got the money to bring in Joe and how everything was a setup. Angle was the mastermind behind it all.

In Ring Segment

Angle came out with Joe right behind him, Steiner followed, next was Sharmell in a sequined yellow gown, then Booker and last was Nash with Jenna on his arm. They all got in the ring. Angle said Sting is at home licking his wounds. Angle wants to say it wasn’t personal, strictly business. Angle then told Foley he can’t run and can’t hide, so he should come out and face the boss right now. Foley came out in his horrible leopard shirt and fringed leather vest with his hair in a pony tail. Foley started to talk and Angle cut him off. Angle said Foley committed the cardinal sin when he crossed the boss. Foley told 3D that they could face BMI if they beat Booker and Steiner tonight. It doesn’t matter what Foley has to say now, what matters is that MEM looks good. If Foley wants to dance, he has to pay the band. It’s time to pay the band. Foley said he messed up and wasn’t thinking. He asked that they, people he’s known 20 years, leave him alone and let him face Angle at the PPV. Angle wouldn’t allow that. Steiner, on Angle’s word, took out Rocco and Sally Boy. Foley asked what they were going to do to him? Do they want a piece of him? Out of respect leave a piece of him so there’d be enough to face Angle at VR. Angle asked if he’s Monte Hall. Door number one, Angle kicks his ass. Door number two, Booker kicks his ass. Door number three, Nash kicks his ass. Or, behind the curtain, he unleashes Joe on him. Foley asked if he got to make the decision? He went through who was behind which door, just to make sure. Foley said he’d take number one as he punched Angle in the face. It culminated in a five on one beat down. JJ’s music and out he came, very quickly, but not running, guitar in hand. MEM fled the ring. JJ went into the ring and hit Foley over the head with his guitar. JJ then left the ring and stomped up the ring past a yelling Angle. JJ had a bleeding cut on his forehead from something, possibly flying guitar bits. JJ just kept walking past Angle and MEM without a word and barely a glance to any of them.
5/10 – Okay, I’m confused. Why wasn’t Morgan with MEM? I thought he was running with them now. Does this mean JJ has joined MEM or is he just that annoyed with Foley and this was his chance to nail him? How did Foley bounce back so quickly from a five man beat down? Foley was walking around the ring like nothing had happened after the five of MEM beat and stomped the heck out of him. The whole thing was screwy and made very little sense as a whole. And that will most likely be the last we see of Rocco and Sally Boy as I heard they’re gone.

Video

Of what happened in the ring before the commercial and then during the commercial Foley was yelling at a trainer that he’s fine and doesn’t want any help. So the guitar shot about destroyed him after a five man beat down did nothing? I’m even more confused!

Backstage Segment

Security was holding back Foley from JJ. JJ screamed and yelled at Foley to get the hell out of there and it’s not going to work between them. Security got Foley out of there.

Video

Tenay spoke to Nash earlier in the day. He said when it comes to the history of wrestling Nash might be the most controversial ever. When Hall and Nash made the jump to WCW they changed the face of wrestling all together. Nash said in 1996, the year before that jump, Diesel was Champion for over 300 days, but barely made over 7 figures. He put feelers out and Bischoff promised them 1.5 million for half that time. Back then guys didn’t talk about what they were paid. But then they started calling each other and asking what they made for each match. One guy might get $85,000, the other only $45,000. They said that someone was getting screwed. The industry turned into it being about who had a good match to who got paid well. This is a business and a job. He enjoys his job, but he’s there for one thing only, to make money. They turned it into let’s make money for all of us. Tenay said it can’t all be about money. That Legends Title shot at VR isn’t special? Nash says it is. Anyone who looks at him can see he’s in the best shape he’s been in for about ten years. He’s training harder and who doesn’t want to be a champion? At to be AJ, someone everyone will be talking about 20 years from now. To beat someone of that caliber and to get the title, it’s good. He feels he is a legend. On the autograph circuit, you have that belt to put around a little kid’s shoulder, it’s worth an extra three to four grand because everyone wants a picture with the strap so it translates to cash.
8.5/10 – That was a great interview. Yes, Nash was in character, but a lot of what he said is felt by a lot of people in the industry and he talked truthfully about how things were going during Monday Night Wars. I think that was very cool and quite an interesting watch. I’d have rather watch something like that on the web so it doesn’t take away from the possible wrestling on a show, but I am so glad I got to see that. Nash is amazing. The only thing I take exception to is Nash claiming he’s in better shape now that in the past ten years. I know he’s been much better off than he is now. He’s just trying to look good for this match.

Backstage Segment

Abyss wandering the halls screaming for Stevie. Lauren was behind him yelling at him to calm down. He picked her up and threw her over his shoulder. She screamed and yelled to get him to realize it was her. He put her down and said he knew it was her and would never hurt her. He’d never let anything happen to her. But she has to understand, he’s sick. He was sick yesterday, is sick today, will be sick tomorrow. It’s okay because he never asked her to stop being a woman. She can’t ask him to stop being a monster. She told him he’s not a monster. He said he’d be back to get her when he’s done.
7/10 – That was interesting. Abyss is so great when he’s a monster, but I have to say I like this softer side of him too. I like that he has Lauren who is so devoted, but he understands he’s insane. I just like how this is forming up from all angles and am held rapt by it each week. Bravo to whoever has been writing this storyline!

Match #1

Deaner to the ring with ODB. In the ring her throws punches and hits her boobs lightly – like air boxing but hitting saline. Amazing Red to the ring to face him. Deaner rushed Amazing Red, but got a kick to his leg. Again Deaner rushed Amazing Red and was kicked to the leg. Arm bar to Amazing Red who screwed with Deaner before getting out of the hold. Hurricanrana to Deaner. Deaner sent from the ring and Amazing Red corkscrewed from the ring onto Deaner outside. In the ring Deaner kicked out. Deaner took Amazing Red down and covered when ODB yelled at him to do so. Amazing Red bounced face first off a corner and then punches and slaps to Amazing Red in the corner. Deaner hit a scoop slam and then dropped a fist across Amazing Red’s throat for two. All of this as ODB tells him to do so. Amazing Red reverses a whip and then runs up Deaner’s body to kick him in the head. Amazing Red climbed the corner and pointed at ODB, but Deaner knocked him down. Deaner climbed even though ODB screamed at him not to. He turned his cap around while up there and flew. Amazing Red moved and Deaner went splat on the mat. Amazing Red hit the red eye, a fabulous swinging type DDT. ODB went in the ring to her man, but didn’t look happy.
7/10 – That match was actually pretty decent. Deaner played his character of not knowing much and having ODB coaching him well, but it was Amazing Red who really made that match. Some of the moves Amazing Red hit in that ring were SICK! He absolutely blows me away. He’s a little man that rivals Rey Mysterio in his move, or I think he does. He’s someone to watch closely.

Backstage Segment

Abyss still threw things around screaming for Stevie. Security approached Abyss with pipes and boards to beat him down. The old man (who I probably should know) rushed in yelling at Chris that this would not be happening in his house. They stared each other down.
6/10 – Okay, who is this old guy that I should know? He has to be someone I am not recognizing. I have loved this storyline straight through and wonder how this head of security is going to fit into everything going on with Stevie and Abyss.

Backstage Segment

Borash with JJ. He asked why JJ had his gear out. MEM came in applauding. Angle said they wouldn’t cause any problems and just wanted to have a chat. Angle handed Joe his strap and asked JJ to sit with him. Angle said MEM is happy they way they are. They have a peace offering. JJ’s power in TNA and MEM with the stroke, they could run this business for the next ten years. Angle asks what JJ says. JJ stood up and said screw Angle’s offer. There’s no together, none! Does Angle remember history? JJ brought Angle in and he abused his authority. He abused TNA and everyone in it. This is JJ’s company and he’s going to run it. Angle’s going to wrestle tonight. He’ll be in a tag match with Samoa Joe. Angle’s title will be on the line. They’ll be facing JJ and AJ. If Angle and Joe win, Angle will retain. But if AJ or JJ pin Angle, the pinner will win the title. Booker went crazy over this. He did not think it was fair and screamed about it in an all new accent.
7/10 – Nice to see JJ step up, tell MEM where to go and look like he’s going to “run” TNA again. He finally didn’t look like a pansy for once and TNA needs that. Love it when Angle/MEM doesn’t get its way!

Backstage Segment

Lauren with Jenna and she asked about Sharmell challenging Jenna to a match at Victory Road. Jenna’s not a wrestler, so how will Jenna get out of it? Jenna said she’ll fight Sharmell. Lauren’s in shock. Jenna asks how much of a wrestler is Sharmell? She can’t be that much of one! She thinks she can scare Jenna, but it’s all a show. If she wants some, she can get some. Sojo came up in a a skin tight gold corset with black lace. She asked if Jenna thought she had street cred because she lived in New York? Sojo then called Jenna a pancake assed white girl who doesn’t know what she’s talking about. Sojo said Sharmell is her girl. If Jenna had a problem with Sharmell, she had a problem with Sojo. Sojo said she’d personally make sure Sharmell would be ready for VR.
6/10 – Until Sojo came in I thought the segment was pretty decent. Jenna is solid on mic and really has Sharmell’s number on her ring work. While this match should be a train wreck, I think it’s funny that Sojo says she will get Sharmell ready. Sojo’s ring work has been sucking it up lately, so I can’t see as she’d help Sharmell too much in getting ready for VR.

Backstage Segment

Borash with Angle and MEM. Borash said JJ laid down the law. Angle cut Borash off. Angle asked JJ if he knew what he did? Did he know he signed his own death certificate? Every time Angle faced Joe, in his mind he wondered what it would be like if they were a unit, a team. They’d be unstopable. Tonight JJ will know why the world is MEM’s to take. Angle stomped off. Booker asked Sharmell to leave – I think as I couldn’t understand a word he said. Sharmell got pissed about having to leave, which is how I figured out what Booker was getting at. She couldn’t understand why she couldn’t stay. Finally she stomped out and Borash asked if this was Jon and Kate around here. Booker told Borash to mind his own business.
5/10 – More of the return of nWo. I am more than annoyed by Angle having to be in the middle of everything, being in charge of everything, knowing everything and having to have everything go his way or he whines like a baby and threatens everyone involved. He’s acting younger than our five year old. She could give him lessons on how to be a big boy because she acts more mature than he has lately. Then there’s Booker and his still ever-changing accents. I just wish he’d pick one or completely shut his yap. It’s too much for me to care to follow when he speaks.

Match #2

EY to the ring. He looked really annoyed by his pyro and pissy through his evil smirk. Rhino came out with Jesse Neal in tow. EY cut Rhino off as soon as he slid into the ring. Rhino turned it around with his size. Shoulder block took EY down and then a clothesline to EY for two. Rhino was whipped and EY got two. EY choked Rhino in a corner. Snap mare to Rhino into a headlock. Rhino punched the heck out of EY’s gut, but couldn’t gain control. Neal talked smack to EY. EY punched Neal through the ropes and then went outside to throw Neal into the barrier. Punches to Rhino in the ring. Rhino started to fight back and hit a huge flying clothesline and then a spinebuster. Neal on the apron and caused Rhino a three count by distracting the ref. EY slammed into Rhino’s back and Rhino slammed head first into Neal. Neal went flying from the apron and Rhino fell back to the mat. EY rolled Rhino up and used the ropes for the three.
6/10 – Decent match. It was short but solid. Of course EY had to attack Neal and cheat to win just to prove how much of a heel he’s become. Rhino and Neal are the nice guys, so they couldn’t do anything horrible back to EY. Though I have to say they’re teasing a pretty big heal turn for Rhino – from what I can see. I think he’ll become more and more annoyed with Neal until he cracks and takes him apart physically. Rhino is just to whimpy when he’s a face, so a heel turn better happen soon!

Backstage Segment

Lauren with Sharmell who was annoyed with being sent out to find Morgan. She found Morgan who was on his cell talking to someone about when a gym closed. Sharmell yelled at him that Angle wanted to see him and didn’t even bother waiting for him to get off the phone. He got off the phone and asked Sharmell to say that again. She asked if she stuttered? He asked her to please say it again. She told him Angle wanted to see him. Morgan was thrilled and spazzed out. Morgan grabbed Sharmell around the waist with his left arm and spun her around a half dozen times as if she weighed nothing and then put her down as she was screaming her head off. He was so happy and excited that Angle wanting to see him. He said he knew it was going to be a big day. He said today he officially joins MEM, the only question is the number of zeros on the end of his check. Morgan grabbed Sharmell’s wrist and dragged her off after him. I didn’t know she could move that fast!
7/10 – That was really funny and showed just how powerful Morgan really can be. He lifted and spun Sharmell as if she was a doll. She weighed nothing to him and it was impressive. I now can’t wait to see Morgan’s little hopes dashed by Angle. We all know Angle will not pay Morgan a huge amount, even if he does want Morgan to join MEM, which I doubt!

Backstage Segment

Borash asked Angle if MEM would be welcoming Morgan into the group. Morgan came in and Booker presented him to Angle. Morgan was all atwitter about joining MEM. Morgan called Angle GF. No one knew what that meant. He said it stood for God Father. But forget the acronyms, how many figures were they talking? Angle said MEM is taking Morgan under serious consideration, but there’s a few more things he has to do. Morgan said he about served Sting on a silver platter last week, what more does he need to do? Angle said that’s good, but he needs to make sure all his bases are covered. Angle has a match tonight and needs Morgan. Morgan asks what Angle needs. Angle said Daniels will be trailing AJ and Morgan needs to keep Daniels away. Morgan said he’d do it, but his patience is wearing thin and Angle needs to make the right decision. Morgan left, Booker said something and Angle said some kids never learn.
6/10 – This will be great when Morgan realizes MEM and Angle are just using him for his brute strength. He will snap and go after MEM and that will be a very happy day for a lot of people. How long it will take is the question. It’s obvious that Angle will string him along and lie to him as long as possible. Be interesting to see how much Morgan will believe before snapping.

Sarita promo.

Match #3

TBP to the ring. Madison is just going to the ring with them, Sky and Love are the two of the group wrestling in this match. Kong came out with Saeed. Because the music was so loud over the announcer I couldn’t hear if Saeed was just in tow or if she was actually wrestling. Next out was Tara with a small box/cage in hand. Obviously her tarantula. She put her put it in the corner and…
Well, due to a huge thunderstorm I lost DISH for a bit. It was quite a horrible storm and was shocked that we didn’t lose power. The thing we did lose was the Knockout Match. So I am sorry to say I could not review it. We all pretty much know what happened and that the tarantula came out in the end. I’m just bummed I missed Tara and Kong tagging together.

In Ring Segment

Abyss in the ring freaking out the way he had been all night. Abyss called for a mic and yelled for Dr. Stevie to come out, come out wherever he is. Abyss wanted the camera right in his face so the whole world could hear what he had to say. He told Dr. Stevie he didn’t need him any more. No more therapy sessions. No more calling daily to check in. No more shock treatment. Except for Stevie! When he gets his hands on Stevie he’s going to hoist him up, drop this 350lbs ass of his and snap Stevie across his shoulders like a twig. You see… Stevie on the tron. He said he thought the “across the line cam” would come in handy. But who knew he’d use it for this. This whole time a whimpering could be heard in the background. Stevie asked Lauren what she said, then told her to shut up. He asked Abyss if he knew what Stevie could do to her. But he wouldn’t do anything to her because she’s not the monster Abyss is. He thought about it long and hard. Stevie said he’s treated Abyss for ten years. Hours upon hours upon hours and Abyss turned on him for Lauren, a useless piece of meat. Stevie owns Abyss, mind, body and soul. Abyss will come to his office for therapy. Next time Stevie won’t be so nice to Lauren. Abyss left the ring and ran up the ramp.
8/10 – That was eerie and creepy. There’s no way Russo is writing this storyline, he just doesn’t have that darkness in him! Abyss and Stevie at odds is proving to be a provocative feud, but when are they going to take it to the ring? They’re both great talkers, but I want to see some action! Also, what’s up with Raven being removed from TNA’s website? Is he gone from TNA and suddenly out of this storyline? I hope not as it will really kill a lot of the momentum. At this point we need to see Stevie and Abyss in the ring to really continue this feud the way it needs to be pushed.

Main Event

JJ to the ring for his WHC Tag Team Match. AJ Styles came out to join him with the Legends Championship strap around his waist. MEM’s music and Angle came up through the stage. Joe came out to join Angle and they came down the ramp together. Commercial. Borash announced the match and participants. JJ and Angle started the match. They locked up. A side headlock on JJ. JJ pushed out and hit a huge shoulder block. They went back and forth and Angle got the upper hand. Turns out if Joe gets pinned Angle will also lose his WHC. JJ came back with a clothesline. AJ tagged in and got an arm bar on Angle. Joe then tagged in. AJ attacked, but a leg sweep from Joe dropped AJ. Joe then ran into a beautiful dropkick from AJ. JJ and Angle both in and people bouncing around the ring. Commercial. Angle in control of AJ and JJ trying for the tag. Joe gained control of AJ during the commercial and then tagged in Angle who kept the control. AJ managed to hit the pele on Angle and both were down. Joe rushed in and knocked JJ from the apron so AJ couldn’t tag out. Headbutt to AJ. AJ tried to fight back and grabbed Joe for an inverted DDT. Angle rushed in and AJ grabbed him too. Inverted DDT to Joe and a regular DDT to Angle at the same time! All three down on the mat. JJ trying to get back up in his corner. JJ reached for the tag, but Joe cut AJ off with a rear naked choke. AJ got out and hit the pele! Joe hit the mat hard and AJ crawled for JJ. JJ tagged in as did Angle. Double armed DDT to Angle but Joe broke the count. JJ fought off the Angle slam and took Angle down. Joe came to make the save rushing to drop an elbow, but JJ moved and Angle ate Joe’s move! Punches to Joe from JJ. JJ set Angle up top. JJ wanted to hit the stroke from there but Joe grabed JJ for the muscle buster. JJ got out of the move and AJ flew off the ropes with a flying forearm to Joe. In falling back Joe managed to take Slick Johnson down with him. Slick ended up face down on the mat with one foot somehow up on a turnbuckle pad! JJ climbed up again and hit the stroke off the top on Angle. JJ pinned but Slick was unable to count. JJ went out and grabbed the guitar. In the ring JJ wound up but Slick grabbed the guitar from him. Angle grabbed JJ in an ankle lock in the center of the ring. JJ tried to get to AJ, but Joe pulled AJ from the apron. Angle pulled JJ back and cinched in the hold. JJ was face down on the mat. Slick raised JJ’s arm three times and then called for the bell when JJ didn’t respond. Joe pulled Angle to his feet as the rest of MEM came out to celebrate. Hand shakes and hugs all around. Steiner raised Angle’s arm. Joe had JJ’s head pulled up by his hair and talked smack in his ear. AJ came in the ring with his strap and cleared it. Most of them ducked from the ring and out of the way of the flying strap, but Joe got it to the face after returning to the ring. After that Angle, Booker and Steiner stomped the heck out of AJ. Nash snapped the Legends belt closed as if he had a plan for it. Steiner hit a belly to belly on AJ in the ring. Split screen to show Morgan backstage beating the heck out of Daniels. Morgan broke a piece of wood over Daniels’ back. Nash, in the ring, set up with the Legends strap to hit AJ, but then the lights went out. The lights came up to show Angle choking AJ on the mat with the WHC. Sting stood behind Angle who didn’t have a clue he was there, but Nash, Booker, Joe and Steiner all saw Sting. They pointed and let Angle know he was there. Angle stood and turned only to get the bat to his gut. Booker was next, then Steiner and Nash all ate the bat in some way. Last on the list was Joe who also got the bat to the gut. All of them down on the mat or out of the ring. Sting grabbed the WHC strap and held it high. The lights went out and very quickly came back on, but Sting was then gone!
7/10 – Does this remind anyone of WCW and the Sting/nWo feud? I have the feeling I have seen this before! It’s so obvious that Russo is at a loss for storylines and is more than recycling. I’m actually wondering if he’s taking old scripts word for word. Other than storyline woes, I though that was a pretty good match. It went back an forth, all wrestlers worked hard, they all looked good and I wasn’t afraid any of them might break by falling to the mat. It’s fun to see Joe and AJ on opposing sides and can’t wait to see them in one on one matches. I think that’s about the only good part of this match!

Post Show

I have to say I am very sorry about missing part of the show and hope I didn’t miss anything more that the Knockout Match. The weather was terrible and I was worried something like this would happen. I actually feel somewhat lucky that I only missed that much of the show as the lightening was flashing brightly and the thunder was shaking our house. We don’t normally get storms like that where we live.

There were a couple of really good matches on this show! I honestly didn’t think I’d ever say I was impressed with a Deaner match, but Amazing Red was so mind blowing that the match was incredible. I want to see more of Amazing Red and hope TNA gives him the ring time he deserves. The Rhino and EY match was also solid and set up for a lot of promise in the future between Rhino and Neal. I do have to say I hope for more out of EY in this heel turn. I hope he can handle being heel and does well with it. The main event was also a solid match that was worth the watch.

Either I missed another match while my DISH was out or TNA only gave us four matches this week. Only the main event seemed to be of any length and that’s rather sad. I know I keep harping on this, but these wrestlers are amazing and need to be given the ring time to show us their wares. It sucks knowing how good they are but not seeing them every week. And where was BMI, 3D and MCMG this week? All of these great workers and yet we didn’t see them in the ring. I just don’t get it. Actually, I don’t get how TNA manages to keep the great wrestlers they have when they barely get any ring time on TV. I know I’d be happy for TV time whenever I could get it, but I am also sure I would be more than frustrated with this treatment week after week after week.
