Just saw Impact. It was an Alright show some good some bad but definitely not as good as last weeks episode.

Kaz/Petey: was pretty good for the time. Kaz's loss makes me think they might go with a heel turn out of frustration. Hopefully he stays face though and takes the title at Hard Justice.

Morgan Squashing: both RnR kinda sucked as I don't like squashes but it served it's purpose in building him up. Nice to see RnR on the show at least. LANCE ROCK!!!!!

Gauntlet: was fine but I thought it could've been better. Some of the eliminations were a bit sloppy and I don't like the fact that someone can get eliminated by somebody whose already been thrown out.. Nice to see Velvet pick up the win though.

3-way: Very random matchup, short and pretty forgettable. The after match stuff with Lethal Dutt was alright. I liked Sonjay faking the chair shot.

Booker/Creed: was alright as well, Creed got to show a little offense but I'm not really a fan of the selection here.

Promos/Entertainment: Joe/Booker promo to start was great, don't like them using the same tired stolen belt angle very similar to the team3d/Xdiv one though. Both did great here.

Angle/Team3d: Cage/Aj/Rhino promo was very entertaining Bubba is just unstoppable on the mic. Cage was great here as well.

Sonjay/Lethal: stuff was meh really.

The ending: with Joe coming out of the ambulance was a great way to end the show.

Beer Money: owning the damn show was easily my favorite part. Them whipping the shit out of everyone was insanely awesome. And getting D'amore, pants down and all LOL at DW's line "It should be illegal to show that

Overall: entertaining show lacking somewhat in direction. Really hope this Booker/Joe thing pans out well but I'm not liking where they've gone with it.

Was it it explained why Booker T was rewarded with a match of his choosing and a wrestler of his choosing, while not being a champion of any sort?

No?

TNA has been very solid as of late, but I honestly thought this was their very best show, at least story-wise. Honestly, this is as good as pro wrestling can get right now. I just hope they have all the reasons to continue booking like this.

Beer Money is the most entertaining thing on all of TV right now.

Beer Money have been awesome. Storm the goofy drunken dude and Roode the serious dude. They're getting some cheers from the Impact zone, which is funny because they are being portrait as huge heels, ok that's maybe because they're too awesome. lol
I think they will win the belt soon. No offense to LAX, but they're just too bland as faces. And now with Salinas and Hector, they're even more boring. Heel LAX > Face LAX

when Joe jumped out of the ambulance I thought it was just some random fat guy at first.

Great Cameo from D'Amore.. getting whipped by his former student, Roode

Joe allowed Booker to keep the title so in a way they're both champions or both not champions, thus having a lot of say into their matches.

Pretty good impact considering the World X Cup is over. I think next week will be an awesome show and could pull in big ratings.

I really liked this Impact, but what the hell are the doing with the World Title? Let me get this straight, Joe is still the champ but lets Booker hold on to the belt for no reason, and then Booker is allowed to defend the title which isnt actually his? Fucksake, sort it out TNA booking team. I remember last year when 3D stole the X title gave it back to Jay Lethal only for him to give it back and then try and win it at the PPV
