And I've sussed out why - the matches are just so much better than on Impact.

This time it was Magnus and Jesse Neal and then Tara vs Velvet.

The pre-banter with Magnus made me lol, saying how he had to get rid of Chelsea from ringside because he couldn't concentrate on the match when he had a semi! Then his banter with a woman at ringside was just classic, this guy is learning his craft very well.

The match itself was good, a healthy 8/10.

Then onto the KO's as the main event, this match again was a strong 8/10.

I just wish they'd squeeze another match into the hour and then I think I could quite happily give up watching Impact.

Good for you!

Matches on Xplosion are generally longer, rarely has no storyline involved unlike Impact and is usually of good quality. If they added at least another match or two on it, cut out the recaps and get rid of the silly lighting, Xplosion could act as a stable second show for TNA.

Decent but nothing really happens on this show.

I've felt this to be the situation on Impact. The stuff that does happen, I don't seem to care about at all. The fast-forward scan button never gets so much use as during an episode of Impact

Where can you catch Xplosion and when does it come on?

That's how I feel about Superstars and AM. Maybe because I prefer 1 hour shows over 2 hours. I just think wrestling shows are meant to be 1 hour.

I agree with what you say that the matches were at a good standard and his crack with the lass on the out side was good, but I still think they should lead Xplosion to the following Impact as to prmoting the matches.

Impact! is 2 hours long, that is enough time for 8 fifteen minute matches. We hardly ever get one good one. Instead we have to hear some jobber, that can't work a match, have a rant or some silly skit. Your not Roddy Piper dude.

You're probably right dude. 2x 1 hour shows for Impact and it would feel like they were squeezing more in then. I must admit my level of motivation to watch wanes at about the 1 hour mark if the 1st hour isn't good. I have never watched a live 2 hour show, the only way I can watch it is by recording it and watching it back to skip the adverts/bullshit...

When was the last decent 15 minute match though? Probably the Guns/Beer Money best of 5 matches from what I can remember.
