Impact Wrestling

CR Impact 01-03-07

Segment Cage-Tomko : Mouais. Faction pourrie ...

Match 1 : Chris Sabin, Austin Starr & Alex Shelley vs. Jerry Lynn, Senshi & Jay Lethal
Très bon combat. On est pas encore au top de la Division X, mais on s'en rapproche un peu !

Je passe sur les segments qui ne m'ont pas plus passionné que ça.

Match 2 : Scott Steiner vs. Chase Stevens
Finalement les segments précédents étaient peut-être plus intéressants ...

Segment Paparazzi : Efficace.

Match 3 : Tomko vs. Samoa Joe
Pas si mal grâce aux interventions. Mais voir Tomko en main event d'un Impact, ça me fout les boules.


Note finale : 5/10 Un bon combat de la division X qui sauve le show. Mais franchement, donner autant de spot à Steiner et Tomko ...

Pour l'impact prochain, j'espère qu'ils laisseront du temps pour les matchs qui peuvent être bons si bien montés!parce que sinon les segments....mouérf

Vu le produit WWE en ce moment, y'a pas moyen, faut que la TNA se redresse un grand coup.

et c'est surement pas avec un steiner qu'elle va se redresser.... moi je dis, vive l'indy! (et les rimes aussi...)

C'est super l'indy, ok, mais c'est pas près de faire de la concurence aux grosses fed ><

non c'est clair mais ça permet de passer des bons moments, juste ça, chose que les grosses feds nous apportent en moins grande quantité.

En terme de grand public c'est certain, mais pour les fans pur et durs, l'indy est complémentaire des grosses féds et représente une part importante de la lutte. C'est le cas pour moi toujours est-il. :)

L'ambition n'est de toute manière pas la même. D'un côté on pense avant tout aux dollars car c'est un business, de l'autre on est plus proche du côté sportif de la chose.

+1! (au côté sportir, j'ajoute celui de performance impressionante)

J'ai trouvé ce bon article très critique envers la TNA mais je dois l'admettre, tellement vrai... D'ailleurs je vais mater un iMPACT de début 2006 pour voir la différence de nouveau et je vous dirai. ^^

Pour revenir à l'articlle, c'est un peu long et faut connaitre l'anglais mais ça résume bien les mauvais points de la TNA.

Within Reason (# 9) - Letting loose on the stupidity that is TNA Wrestling
» Reported by Martin Hawrysko of WrestleView.com
» On Tuesday, March 6, 2007 at 3:49 PM EST

When I began writing at WrestleView.com, I was very disgusted with the WWE product. I was enjoying TNA Impact far better than WWE Raw week by week. Then, somewhere during the month of January, Vince Russo began to kick his style of booking up a notch, just as the WWE was getting their act together towards WrestleMania.

About a month ago, as the WWE was picking up steamed, I asked a particular question. My question was, with the WWE starting to get good again, are more people going to slowly care less about TNA? After writing that column, I received so many e-mails from TNA fans that were mad as hell at me, and I hadn’t even said anything bad about that product.

I have not made it a secret that Impact has taken a turn for the worse as of late. I had no interest in buying the last two pay-per-views, and after reading the results and gathering reaction off message boards on the ‘net, I can see that both of those pay-per-views were absolutely bombed (Impact is being watched by the most people ever, yet their pay-per-view buyrates of 20,000 not only are not growing, but are decreasing).

I am looking at the storylines that are presented on Impact, I am looking at the card for this Sunday’s Destination X pay-per-view, and I am thinking to myself, just how much Total Non-Stop Action wrestling has gone down the last few months. To put it bluntly, TNA Wrestling kind of sucks right now.

It sucks so much, that even as a wrestling writer, I am left with very little desire to waste my time watching Impact. There are so many stupid things that happen on that show each week, and rather than have any direction, it seems as if TNA will do anything just for the sake of doing it.

Tomko pins Samoa Joe:
First of all, why the hell is the company’s soon-to-be heavyweight champion, Samoa Joe, getting pined by WWE reject and Bull Buchanan wannabe Tomko? What the hell did Tomko ever do in WWE? What the hell has he ever done in TNA? He has done absolutely nothing! Tomko is NOT someone who is going to be carrying any professional wrestling company down the line, so why the hell would anyone think it was a good idea to book him to pin one of their most popular talents?

I have no problem with Joe getting pinned on Impact, only as long as it is by someone who has some importance in the company. Tomko doesn’t even have a match at the pay-per-view! Booking Scott Steiner to beat Joe would have made more sense, because that at least would show he is capable of winning a match, and just might add something to the build-up of him and Angle.

Speaking of Tomko, my jaw dropped open after hearing Mike Tenay claim that Christian owes Tomko a title shot down the line, for all that he has done. WHAT!??!

Rhino and AJ Styles:
I like the Elevation X concept. However, why the hell are Rhino and AJ Styles still feuding? What the hell are they feuding about in the first place? Does anybody even care about Rhino anymore? Through no fault of his own, he continues to be booked as a repeated loser, with no momentum going into any feud. Does anyone think Rhino has a chance at winning this Sunday? Rhino is made to look like a complete loser, which is why no one cares about him. They are wasting Rhino’s ability, and this feud is doing nothing to make the fans care about AJ Styles, who I feel is making strides as a heel personality.

Abyss has been destroyed:
The Sting and Abyss feud signifies everything that is wrong with Vince Russo. Russo does not have any patience, and instead of building something up to be special, he attempts a lot of things at once, and when they happen, it makes zero sense. I can guarantee you this. If Vince Russo had his way back in the WWE, you would have seen Kane’s mask removed prior to year 2000. I guarantee it.

Abyss has totally been destroyed in this feud, and any mysterious aspect about him barely exists today. We now know his name is Chris and that he shot his father in the back of the head. How the hell is that supposed to make him appear any scarier or more intimidating? Vince Russo has absolutely destroyed Abyss, and the only reason you haven’t seen his masked remove is probably because a) the upper TNA management won’t allow it, or b) Russo has enough sense to realize that removing Kane’s mask was a bad move, and knows better not to do it to Abyss.

Mike Tenay and Don West:
I could only wish that whatever illness plagued Michael Cole at WWE’s No Way Out pay-per-view a few weeks ago, would spread to Mike Tenay and Don West. These two have no idea how to announce a wrestling show. First of all, when someone is cutting a promo in the ring, it is NOT necessary for any announcer to repeat what the wrestler is saying! Half the time, while watching Impact, I’m practically screaming to my TV “Shut the fuck up already!” to the damn announcers. Tenay and West would be perfect if Impact were being broadcasted on the radio. For television, it is not necessary for the announcers to describe every single thing that happens! A lot of the time, the picture can speak for itself. In all serious, in the long run, if TNA is going to grow, the company should either stop serving any drinks with caffeine at the TNA tapings or strongly considering hiring a new set of announcers.

Sadly, Tenay has the ability to be a great announcer. His being popular is for a reason. But if Tenay ever watches a tape of Impact and fails to realize how foolish he comes across, and can’t adapt, then he has no business calling a professional wrestling television show.

Other things that make absolutely no sense:
-I like Eric Young and think he is a personality that TNA should utilize. However, this storyline with Robert Rood is so horrendous and a waste of time. When Rood and Young eventually have their match, is anybody going to care about it? Does anyone care about Rood at all? I think not.

-Team 3D comes across as shells of their former selves in their feud with LAX. The only thing I can think of when watching Team 3D on camera these days is how much of a bunch of badasses the Dudleys were back in the same, much how LAX tries to be today. Team 3D have been booked like crap since coming to TNA, and anything short of a world tag team championship reign following this feud will make it a complete failure.

-Jim Cornette is supposed to be the authority figure of TNA. However, his character is booked so badly that he has absolutely no credibility as one. Cornette is someone who SHOULD have credibility, because in real life, he is absolutely nuts! His real life persona would make a great character and they are failing to capitalize on that. Instead of feeding Cornette scripts, give him an open mic and really let him rip lose.

To TNA fans:
I honestly can care less if any TNA fans think that company is the greatest thing going. I honestly can care less at any angry e-mails I get because TNA fans think I am completely wrong. How can I take any serious TNA fans seriously who actually like the crap that they are watching each week? Any serious TNA fan who enjoys this crap are probably the same fans who enjoyed WWE’s Katie Vick angle or Mae Young giving birth to a plastic hand. Those fans are a small minority. The 1.0 or 1.1 that TNA earns each week are mostly fans who care more about the WWE anyways. We all now know how many true diehard fans TNA has after going head-to-head against Raw’s second hour a few weeks back.

There is absolutely nothing on Impact that I find to be that enjoyable. Christian Cage is one of my favorite talents, and the mere fact that he is champion isn’t enough to maintain my interest in this show. Am I going to stop watching Impact? No. But I certainly am not going to plan my Thursday nights around that show. And if I certainly decide to tape the program, you better belief I am going to fast forward through the endless crap that makes no sense.

je viens de mater impact! de cette semaine, pas très bon dans l'ensemble, un premier match inutile (serotonin jobbe toujours).deuxième match simpathique mais sans plus donc décevant vu que ça aurait pu être bien mais trop court (petey et dutt portent le match).main event pas trop mal par contre, enfin timko et steiner sont des quiches mais le match était plutôt rapide et plaisant.
il serait sérieusement temps que les impacts! relèvent le niveau!!

cr rapide du impact! du 15/03:
uniquement 2 vrais matchs: un triple threat match jay lethal vs jerry linn vs kaz (de serotonin) assez intense et rapide, cependant un peu court.
Et un LAX&alex sheley vs Team 3D&brothe runt pas mal, pareil, assez intense et quelques beaux moves, il faut le dire.
Reste que même si c'est deux matchs étaient bons, ils n'étaient pas bien longs et au final ça fait pas beaucoup de temps de lutte sur un impact. Les segments ne sont pas géniaux non plus, eric young qui nettoie les chiottes on s'en tamponne et sabin qui joue à la ps2 aussi, et serotonin qui se révolte enfin contre raven ça serait pas mal s'ils ne passaient pas leur temps à jobber.
Par contre on va peut être enfin savoir si abyss va devenir un nouvel homme ou pas.
Et le match par équipe de Lockdown peut donner quelque chose très bon, à prioti pour l'instant on a christian&aj styles&???&???&??? vs angle&joe&rhino&???&???.

Officiellement, on a que Cage & Styles & 3 lutteurs vs. Kurt Angle & 4 lutteurs. Mais bon, ce sera officiel la semaine prochaine surement !!


Voici mon compte-rendu du iMPACT du 15 mars :

Segment Cornette-Cage-Angle : Annonce du main event de Lockdown, un Lethal Lockdown entre Team Cage et Team Angle. Ceux-ci doivent choisir leurs partenaires.
Segment AJ-Rhino : On croit que la feud est fini et ça repart de plus belle… Ca commence à être long.

Match 1 : Kay Lethal vs. Kaz vs. Jerry Lynn
Bon combat même si court toujours court, je trouve que le nouveau thème de Lethal est pas mal mais lui va moyen (rnfin si ça peut le pusher :)). Par contre, celui de Daniels a l’air de rockser et de lui aller comme un gant pour son nouveau personnage.

Match 2 : LAX & Alex Shelley vs. Team 3D
Shelley avec la LAX ?? :O Je ne comprends pas trop le lien mais là, il sera pusher, c’est clair !! :D L’apport de ce dernier et Runt dans la feud redonne un peu d’intérêt même si une nouvelle victoire volée par LAX dans ce combat qui fut très divertissant.

Segment Seratonin : Troublant !! ^^ Mais bon segment.
Segment Young-Roode : Young va-t-il se sortir de ce contrat ?? Ya l’air qu’il ait un built up pour en tout cas.
Segment Cage-AJ-Abyss-Sting : De quel côté se trouve le monstre ?? On verra dans un tag match la semaine prochaine.


Note finale : 7/10. Malgré le peu de lutte vu qu’il faut builder les nouveaux matchs pour Lockdown, les segments sont bons, voire très bon donc bon iMPACT.

à ce propos quand j'ai vu aj arriver avec sa béquille et tout je me suis dit "c'est vraiment ridicule, ils veulent rendre la chute minable de dimanche crédible avec ça mais c'est trop tard!!" alors en fait j'étais plutôt content que styles enlève tout le tralala pour attaquer rhino!

Bof bof encore cet Impact. Deux combats trop courts pour être réellement bons, et des segments de qualité moyenne.

Bref : 5/10 pour moi. Ca commence à réellement me lasser tout ça. Et les feuds à rallonge (AJ/Rhino, Abyss/Sting, LAX/Team3D) n'arrangent rien à mon goût dans ce contexte précis.
