Powell's POV: This is the first show on the road to next month's Slammiversary pay-per-view. It looks like a strong lineup on paper, particularly the final match with Angle vs. Joe. Join me for live coverage of TNA Impact Wrestling tonight as the show airs on Spike TV at 8:00 p.m. CT. Ryan Kester has the day off but will return next week.
