"Many people like the show."

Is there any actual proof to this? Or any actual proof the show was not liked? Are there ratings for it? Ratings going into the show (weeks before)? Just looking for evidence.

Yeah...and? You live out in the UK now, Cheezar? Or are you saying this in hopes Challenge TV has a change of heart to not pull the plug on Impact next month?

So is this one big comedy bit the only thing TNA has going on for them right now?

Zero Proof, and they show I heard did not air on Challenge. In fact, it was skipped and not even on listing.


Total Nonstop Deletion look like another reason why Dixie Carter should not own a company. She just gave two guys (in the twilight of their career) carte blanche to run a show from their own backyard. Hired their own people from NC to do a backyard show.

This would explain what I saw last week. I tuned in to "Impact" for the first time since Halloween and it didn't look anything like a big time show anymore. It was broadcast from a small arena with a bare bones set. It looked more like an Indy startup show than one that's been around for 14 years and considered a big league player. I'm guessing it won't be long before "Impact" starts airing from the ballroom in a Holiday Inn.

Budget shrunk to zero, I wouldn't be surprised. They ran that hardy show from Hardy compound in NC and somehow had an audience of 50 people at that Total deletion crap.

Only people I seen that say its groundbreaking and funny. That's few and far between about 10 people claim "its different"...

Yeah it was different and it was bad. First match on that "card" was Hardy's kid versus some runt.

Now I have to agree with Cornette, stuff like this is an embarrassment for wrestling. Last cringeworthy things I saw was Helms showing up as Hurricane and telling a lame Triple H buried joke. Its 2016..why is this happening?

To be fair, the first time they did this, it was considered a huge success. Or, it got at least a lot of people talking about TNA and people saying that it was so bad that it was good. I forget where I heard this, but I believe I heard that Jericho watched it and got a bunch of WWE guys to watch it and they all loved it. Think they said that Cena watched it 3 times in a row. So, I can't blame TNA for allowing a 2nd one to happen.

But overall, I love comments like "well, lots of people enjoyed/liked it" without any evidence to back up a claim.

I see few people on wrestling news boards say it made their day. That's about it. Besides that, nobody went out and praised this as being great like our boy Cezar likes to tout. Batista comments take the cake "Jumping the shark to a whole new level" or something like that.


Pretty interested in seeing what Cornette actually says. He destroyed Chuck Taylor for wrestling a little girl or something like that.

I saw the highlights of the show...look like a budget cut show and reason not to pay other TNA performers.

In all honesty, I thought the show had some good points along with some horrible ones. Firstly, I liked the atmosphere of the show. It reminded me of a JCW show promoted by the Insane Clown Posse and to tell the truth I was expecting them to come out the entire show. Credit to Matt Hardy for literally creating that atmosphere based solely on his character. Also, I dug all of the cameos as well as tag-team Apocalypto (except for the ending of the match.) The mock news report through the show was also well done. With that said, having most of the show in a barn on Matt Hardy's property with no lighting equipment was definitely a low point. Even worse was having Matt Hardy's 1 year old son Maxel pin Rockstar Spud. I was about to turn off the show when I saw that but I soldiered through. Also, there was way too much Shane Helms on this episode.

The big problem with this episode is that after this, I don't know how creatively they can to go back to doing regular Impact episodes. They kind of back themselves into a weird corner creatively whenever they do these.

I didn't mind it. Similar to past Impact episodes around the holidays, it was probably meant as a throwaway episode since viewership declines during that time. In 2009, they dedicated an entire episode to the women. I'm not crazy about it, but parts of it was entertaining. I can see why some people may be into it. Some wrestling segments are meant to be serious despite coming off badly, a lot of the Hardy segments are meant to be fun and don't take themselves seriously.

At first, I hated their segments that involved brawling or wrestling outside because those should be taken more seriously and used to progress stories. The preview of next weeks episode is a good example of what I wish they'd do more. They can have fun segments, but keep the actual wrestling/brawling serious for the most part, unless its a special occasion or done every so often as a throwaway (like Vanguard One being involved in a match or Spud losing to Matt's son). The enthusiasm from the crowd added to the show, I wish the Impact Zone crowds were consistently more vocal. My only gripe about the crowd is that it looked too small. I liked Hurricane's cameo. The HHH joke was funny, and was most likely meant as a harmless fourth wall reference to the fans.


Reboot, restart or re-imagining is another word for remake
