I finally caught Impact tonight and well if that is really the best TNA can offer on a Monday night then I am going to stick with RAW. I really wasn’t overly impressed with much of anything on Impact tonight. They went pretty heavy on the heel turns with Sting and Beer Money neither one at this point in time really makes a whole lot of sense.

I am liking the Angle vs. Anderson feud but involving the Army of all things into the angle really adds nothing to it, which is why in order to shake things up right here and now I am predicting a US Army heel turn at the PPV costing Angle the match. No one would see it coming and it would just be another great booking move by TNA.

Another thing I noticed that along with stealing WCW storylines and WWE wrestlers TNA is also in the business of stealing WWE ideas. WWE has the new Nxt program where they pair rookies with pro’s well TNA has tweaked that idea a little bit in order to serve there purposes with the pairing of pro’s with senior citizens. Styles and Flair, Abyss and Hogan, Eric Young and Kevin Nash. Good Stuff.

To me, it felt like Monday Nitro. I don't mean that as an insult really. But, you know how on Nitro there was always something happening throughout the night? It wasn't just match, angle, promo, match, etc. It was all interwined? It was like that. Now the problem with that is and I found it with Nitro too - there comes a time when you need to just let things flow because too much go go go makes things confusing and a clusterfuck.

Let's hope TNA can put on good shows now. Because its one thing to have an enjoyable show with lots of debuts, etc. But, you can't do that every week. I taped it but watched it on RAW commercials and I believe I saw the jist of it.

I actually haven't watched it yet. Since I saw that on Thursday they are going to be replaying it, and once I heard that both RVD and Jeff Hardy were rumored to show up (two of my least favorite wrestlers of all time) I figured that I could wait and just watch RAW. If it really was an enjoyable show though that is good news and I'll be anxious to see it.

I said it was a dumb move, but I think tonight tye put on a more exciting show. Everytime I tuned into RAW all I saw was someone cutting a promo. Everytime I tuned into TNA someone was getting beaten or a match was happening. So maybe they're smart enough to do what WWE doesn't do actually give you some action.

Dude this is a dumb move. They don't have the audience, the writing or the talent to even think of making a move this big. As of right now they're the second higest rated wrestling show on Thursday nights. And they're the only one. What on earth makes them think this will work?

It is official after today’s press conference. TNA officials have announced that starting March 8th Impact will be permanently moving to Monday nights to go head to head with Monday Night RAW from 9-11pm. Impact will air live one week and be taped the next which to clear up confusion means the show will only air live every other week.

What if anything will the WWE to respond? I’ve read rumors that they could move RAW to 3 hours every week or that the guest host idea which they’ve considered doing away with could be kept going in an attempt to lure casual fans. Personally I don’t think they have to worry or try to do anything at the moment. TNA is foolish for even thinking they are ready to compete with the WWE on any level. The smart thing to do would be stay on Thursday unopposed and continue to work on gaining a bigger audience, but they seem to be in such a rush to compete with the WWE that they are going to find out the hard way that they aren’t ready.

This is a horrible idea. I mean let's face it they blew a great opportunity with the live show. So many old school fans that I know where looking towards to seeing the old gang and having a Monday Night war and what did TNA do? Not a damn thing there story lines haven't gotten better. They've done nothing to make you want to watch. AJ "I don't have an interesting character" Styles has once again changed his persona. Now he's Ric Flair. Guys like Samoa Joe, the Dudley's who TNA have spent months building towards a heel turn are now faces again in the blink of an eye. And what the hell happened to the Ryhno and Dudley's story line? They couldn't come up with a better name for the NWO? The band? Seriously? Not even the pack could have been used? And why did no one help Scott Hall get into shape? TNA has no shot in hell of going up against WWE right now, while it's a bit better off than five years ago it's still no where near what WCW had before they went head to head.

I'm not gonna start a new thread for EVERY single post on TNA that I decide to put here. Mainly, because they don't need that much space here, and also because they have some effect Impact as a whole. Guys entering and leaving the company wikk be noticed, or noticed missing, from the show. Don't get worked up over this, RR, or else your time as a "mod" is REALLY gonna suck.

I agree, it's a bad move on their part. Some hotshot at Spike or TNA probably figures lightening wil strike twice and Impact will become the next Nitro. Everybody seems to forget that WCW was a much larger company with lots of financial backing and they matched WWE's ratings, many times even passing them, long before they attempted going head to head. Most people probably haven't even heard of TNA.

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter

A decision has been made by TNA and Spike TV to move TNA iMPACT! permanently to Monday nights, reports the The Wrestling Observer.

The second Monday night iMPACT! is scheduled to air on March 1 following the success of the first Monday iMPACT! on January 4.

The March 1 episode will air at 9:00 p.m. EST, but the official weekly timeslot has not been confirmed yet.

The likely taping schedule will be live on Mondays one week, then tape the following week's iMPACT! the next day on Tuesdays.

I don’t really think this is a good idea after one head to head meeting on a Monday night where even though TNA earned a solid rating by their standards still got spanked by the WWE, but I guess it’s their decision to make. They’d be better off staying on Thursday nights and slowing building a bigger audience when they are the only wrestling show on TV.
