[6.0] "this was a perfectly fine show. better word maybe average. nothing special. just seemed like they were focused on building which isn't bad. id rather have more shows like this than the annoying choices they were doing constantly before. all the matches were passable or had some promising moments from the wrestlers. well I mean except the Ali v Home town man match but that feels more like how you feel about the home town man gimmick. the overall segment it was apart with Ellias coming to save him was fine. The Righteous continue to keep me interested but not sure for how long. the entrance looks sick. The Ariana Grace betrayal is seemingly carried by her, stacks and Santino. I dont care for the others. Maybe have her upgrade and then dump some of them. im sure they'd still be able to wrestle both shows. The system segment carried by Dangos last dance tour. overall not the worst day for watching"
[7.0] "Considering this was a canned show two weeks before both the AMC debut and a PPV, there was some good quality wrestling on here, with two solid matches in the 3-Way and the World title match. Both of the women's matches were decent enough too. Arianna Grace's heel promo was a little hokey, but her and Stacks are giving off McMahon-Helmsley era vibes and it's an interesting twist to what was a very one dimensional character for her. The announcement of moving the Genesis main event to the AMC debut makes sense, but I hope that have something good lined up for Genesis and not just a rematch."
[8.0] "These ratings are harsh man we had sold tag matches a good xdvison showcase and a pretty good world title match. The Hardys story is interesting also."
[6.0] "Great main event, but the rest of the show was pretty standard. I enjoyed it myself, particularly because of what Bear Bronson accomplished with limited time to build any crowd connection."
[3.0] "Man, TNA isn't good right now. I've had several fans tell me several times that it's growing and they're getting better but that's been shat out as an excuse since the company was founded. Only the X Division scene is worth anything and even that part of the roster is paper thin too. This felt like a nothing episode of Xplosion never mind the flagship show."
[3.0] "GOOD: 3 of the Rascalz have an obviously-great triple threat to figure out whom later challenges Leon Slater for the X-Division title; finally, a match worth watching! It only took them 83 minutes. Vincent's promo & Matt's confrontation, finally, stands up as a defining moment in the episode that carries a sense of importance & weight. Kazarian vs. Bronson is fun. BAD: This Knockouts' Division will continue to mean nothing & draw nobody as long as it is centered around people like Xia Brookside, The Iiconics, Indi Hartwell & Alicia Fox. Deaner vs. Ali is brutally average. Elijah continues to be Unfunny Joe Hendry. Santino is playing up to this suuuper ham-fisted "My Stacks situation is affecting me personally & I'm sooo morooose" thing, & I couldn't care less, especially when you consider that Santino (*cough*) Does Not Have The Acting Chops To Make This Work, & also that Intl champ Stacks has the charisma of a mildewed sponge. Instead of filling their roster properly (durrr), the company continues to use footage of old Samoa Joe, DDP, & Kurt Angle fare between matches; footage from a time when the fed had true, self-created notoriety, actual momentum, & a head of creative with an IQ above -12. I thought that Arianna Grace was awkward & uncomfortable as a face; even by the standards of the already-poor episode, this is just migraine inducing. Stacks is given a 5 second, cringe-ass promo; great way to hype up your new Intl champ *rolleyes*. NOTE: During Chonk-Chonk Edwards' & Nothing Myers' Self-Worship Project Episode 4574289485235349273, they seem to intone that the match that will follow next week may be their final match; I'm unsure whether they mean that it will be DANGO's last match with the unit, or whether they mean the unit will dissolve; good lord, you talk about a way to get me excited for AMC; the idea that this shitty faction won't live into the AMC era? Mmmm. CONCLUSION: Yet another bad Impact episode where what little good there is paddles around in a lightweight boat in a sea of bad. We're 2 weeks away from their cable premiere & Delirious has utterly failed to build enough shit of interest to warrant wide-scale, unified attention. Do you want to know why not many Youtubers are covering weekly TNA fare? Shitty episodes like this are why."
