Im currently watching TNA in UK and it has ruined who Garretts trainer is as its being saying Hogan is returning tonight. It's been saying this as it goes to advert

Also did anyone notice you could see Gail kims nipples thru her top tonight

So, is it Russo fault we never get a clean ending? You know I love pinning everything I can on Russo!

A guy's gotta get paid man, cut MM some slack lol.
Swerve with Hogan is very obvious indeed.
I never expect clean wins in TNA.

You are on!

This could be fun.

I'm not going to do them one a week or anything, just throw them out at you guys now and then.

I think I'm also going to do a series of the worst! The worst TLC Match (in the WWF(E)), etc. I won't be making as big of a deal of the worst, but I think they could be fun.

Thanks Mr. Love. Any other ideas, you know where to find me.

(continued from above)
-They made the announcement at the start of the show that Hogan was going to appear live. Why even try to pretend we are dumb enough NOT to know that he will be Garrett's trainer? Both segments completely blew in my book, however, I did like the way Hogan came to the ring, very passionate, haven't seen that in some time now.
-I've never been impressed with Haskins work, but his mic work was fine. Austin was ON his game as usual.
-Brooke Adams already got my votes thanks to her requesting them on FB. Her wrestling roots are in my hometown and I always support the DSW alumni. And yes Ken, pretty darn hot indeed.
-Bobby v James was good. Not great, good.
-Ray v James……see Bobby v James.
-Kim V Tara was fine. Tara literally took a beating in that match. Several bruises will be there for a few days.
-Yes, those commercials sucked, but, have to pay the bills somehow I guess.

Storm's thoughts:
-The Ray thing doesn't bother me, Rock used to spit his into the audience and Perfect used to slap his chewing gum at them. At least he keeps it to himself.
-They need to film on the road every episode, they actually looked like a professional company, and it even came across with the live crowd giving the impression that they were big time, as opposed to the jaded, but hardcore ImpactZone fans.
-How Good were Ray and Bobby in the mic in that opener!
-The crowd was nuts over Joe, and he was slightly less lazy than usual. Crimson's Taz-esque suplex was outstanding and his speed never registered with me before this match either. Morgan didn't really stand out but I wasn't paying him as much attention as I probably should've. Magnus continues to be the most pleasant surprise of the year, like Ray was last year.

“The fan reaction to Hogan was solid.” That has to be the under statement of the year. The reaction from the fans for Hogan that I saw on the show I was watching was by far the loudest of the night. It’s a shame he has to go to the U.K., to get some proper respect. At least throw the guy a bone when something is so blatently obvious.

Last night was the first night in a LONG while that I've been able to watch iMPACT/IMPACT, and I have to agree with each and every grade on here that you gave.

Thanks for the shoutout Ken. I'm pretty excited about this new venture!

Let us bring out the decent and shameful of this TNA Impact:

Shameful:
5. Matt Morgan's advertising: This is something that will continue to be on my shameful list. It's one thing to cut a wrestling promo, but cutting an ad piece isn't Matt's strong suit.
4. Having to revisit Ray's antics from last week: Ugh. Enough said.
3. Garrett mimicking Hogan: That just didn't look right… Why do I smell a swerve where Garrett turns on Hogan and reunites with Daddy? Have I been smelling too many Sharpies?
2. Lack of clean finishes: The occasional interference is all right, but not THAT regularly. The fans like to see clean endings to progress a feud too.
1. Hogan returning as Garrett's trainer: What part of not putting yourself at risk when you're that close to paralysis does this man not understand?! Double shameful for the fact that Gunner had to be the goon.

Decent:
5. Aries-Haskins: AA will always make my decent list when he's in the picture
4. Tessmacher: Hot hot hot! The Blitz must drool and enjoy.
3. The Birmingham Brawl match: While I wasn't a fan of the match stipulation, no one can argue now that Joe and Magnus aren't worthy contenders for the straps. Very wise move to let Morgan take the pin as to protect Crimson.
2. Madison Rayne's interference backfiring: I love it! Anytime Madison looks foolish is perfectly fine by me. It's time for the Knockouts division to turn on her and Gail en masse.
1. Storm working double duty: It was great watching Storm pull two good quality matches to the delight of the crowd. Wrong order though!

a good blog Kendra well done.

Hogan was going to be the only one training Garrett, even before Hogan said he would be on the tour. rumors were going around several months ago after Hogan turned Face that he would be back in 2012 to do a program with Eric and his son. so that was no suprise.

I agree Gunner shouldn't have been a punching bag but he did sell it well.

as for the Direct Auto Insurance commercials …….. here's a question "who cares if a TNA Wrestler is on the comcercial talking about Direct Auto Insurance.

Ever since TNA started showing them on the brakes….. I've listened to Wrestling audios on other sites and read wrestling forums and fans have issue with it.

It's no different then a Hollywood star on a commercial doing the same thing to sell a product to get people to buy something. that sort of thing has been going on since TV was invented.

My guess for why the fans are hot for tna over here in England is that its on a free to air channel that every home has on a Sunday night, and we get all the ppv’s free(Wednesday after they air)
Where as the wwe is on a subscription channel that costs £30 a month and we need to pay for most ppv’s now(we used to get most(if not all) for free).

Kendra, I would actually like to hear about some of the greatest types of martches from you. The greatest hardcore and so on…. Just a thought
