so like i said earlier, i'm 3 weeks behind on impact tapings. well today i watched the show from 4/28 where cornette announces all in one show there will be a lethal lottery rip off, a women's battle royal -> ladder match -> head shaving, and a brutal steel structure. then they gave away a joe/angle rematch(which really helped the rating, lol).

seems like i'm starting to see a lot more "wcw" in tna, as far as putting together a million new gimmick matches to try and sell ppvs, and giving away big matches for free to try and get ratings. unfortunately for tna, it isn't working at all. at least in wcw it kind of worked for a while.

maybe i should reserve judgment until after i see the final 2 impacts before sacrifice, but i'm honestly not looking forward to anything on that card. steiner is in the main event just so joe won't "hurt" angle by going over him, the lethal lottery is pushing TNA's tag division down further than when they had a 60 yr old challenge for the belts, and we just had lockdown so i don't want to see a ton of x division guys in another cage match. and perhaps i read spoilers wrong, but didn't gail kim win head-shaving immunity so they couldn't easily put her in the spot to lose the ladder match and not have to deliver on their promise? perhaps they put in some caveat to make it even more confusing than it already is to guarantee someone goes bald.

well it's late and i'm just rambling. perhaps this event turns out to be good, but i see most of the tag tourney matches going way short like impact matches, and the other stuff just not being very good, other than the always entertaining x division spotfest.
