Gonna give TNA a go for first time in ages.

Just flicking through, landed on challenge its about to start. So lets see how long I can last........

How's it going?

Still with it, just watched Hogan and Dixie out side talking "movie style" (whats with that anyway) what felt like a hour.

any footage taken through blinds or the crack of an almost closed door?

Yea there was a blind and kept seeing the wall in one clip as they were around the corner

oh yes, i forgot about the pillars and walls lol

i remember one time the camera crew were caught and whoever it was, decided not to shut the door but just push it to. and i thought, this genius has just invented the semi-private conversation

Only in TNA

How did TNA work out for you bret? I heard they had a shocking return of one of the biggest draws on the planet the other week - D Von? How did that compare with Lesnar's return?

Dvon? I missed that ha,

But I saw Hogan's return, and all the guys came out from the back to console him after admitting he had been going through a tough time lately. It almost bought a tear to the eye.

I struggle to take TNA seriously sometimes, just because of the crowd, there lucky if they get 800 sometimes. The only time I seen a decent size crowd, was when they were in England.

Have to admit Hogan's return was about what I expected and wasn't overly excited by it.

That said, you should see what Bobby Roode's been getting up to lately. His mic work isn't hugely original, but he's made a few pretty inflammatory speeches lately, roughed up Dixie Carter on a couple of occasions...and gaffer-taped Sting to the ropes in their Victory Road match.

Does anyone in WWE get the kind of heat Roode-boy's been getting lately (apart from John Cena - judging from the posts on here)?

On the flip side James Storm has been getting some serious ring, mic and behind-the-scenes time in the build-up to Lockdown.

Another interesting development is that Austin Aries appears to be getting a push towards the heavyweight division, teaming himself with Storm in what was originally to be a handicap match against Roode and Bully Ray. Although he eventually got a pretty good beating, he pulled off some nice moves and looked like he could compete with the smaller heavyweights (i.e. not Bully Ray sized).

I think one of TNA's problems is that they only seem to be able to focus on one feud at a time and everything else gets pushed into the background slightly, so you never feel there is a whole lot going on besides the main event (that is, there is nothing like the same sense of occasion or importance).

Brilliant summation of TNA.

They do some really good stuff but lack focus in other areas.

AS for TNA, I still think its majorly underated and deserves much mre love than it gets.

On another note - we are getting to ask Storm and Roode some questions, so post them up on the Q&A thread!

MCMG are back on sunday should be fun to watch them

First time I've seen MCMG in action and quite enjoyed it. Wasn't hugely spectacular and the outcome was fairly predictable, given it was their comeback match, but they showed off some nice moves.

Nice to hear they want a shot at the Tag Team title. A match up with Joe & Magnus ought to be pretty interesting.
