HeadLocker — Jay Shannon
The New and Improved Impact Insight
Our resident philosopher, Jay Shannon, rolls out a all-new format for his weekly look at the happenings on Thursday nights.
I decided to restructure my weekly column to something similar to what I was doing when both Raw and Impact were on Mondays. This week’s TNA set more pieces into place for June’s Slammiversary show.
This Week’s Episode: The Enigma and the A-H***
The Opening Segment:
Jeff Hardy and Mr. Anderson worked the first segment. Anderson is well on his way to a face turn, maybe. Anderson absolutely drove the censors bananas with using the “A” word about a dozen times in a row. Anderson said he liked Hardy because both of them were “A**H****”. He started picking out people in the crowd and calling them the same name and even did a hilarious take-off on the old Dr. Pepper tune, singing “Wouldn’t you like to be an A-H (spoken out) too”.
The Katz Files – Arnie Katz
My Weekly (5/20) TNA Notebook
The Kingfish Arnie Katz provides insight and analysis based on the 5/27 episode of iMPACT.
Life After Retreat
The show has improved significantly since losing the Monday Night Showdown and the 5/17 episode represented continued advance.
The show had a couple of excellent matches, including the main event. The rest of the matches weren’t nearly as good, but still graded out in the B/C range, as opposed to the D/F range. (I’m strongly opposed to the D/F range, a rating that all matches on the TNA and WWE shows don’t always escape.
Among the topics to be discussed by Alan Wojcik and contributors Phil Strum & Kevin K. Scott: Major WWE Fatal Four Way news from Smackdown, news from Monday Night Raw including Aston Kutcher’s performance, the continuing road to TNA Slammiversary 2010 PPV including news on Flair, Waltman and possible signings and more from ROH & PWG who have HUGE events on the horizon.
