Mark Out Moments - TNA Impact: The fallout of Christopher Daniels return, Kurt Angles arrest, and Mr. Anderson abandoning Sting and RVD in the main event last week
Apr 8, 2011 - 10:10 AM


By Mark Gessner

- While not putting over Daniels by questioning who he was and saying he never heard of him, Flair did a great job by putting over Roode, Storm, and Kaz in questioning why the three best in the world would even want to be seen with him or team with him.

- Thirteen minutes into the show before security involvement. Only took six minutes last week. Maybe TNA is scaling back by having it take twice as long..... Yeah, I doubt it.

- Hearing Tommy Dreamer's entrance music, R.I.P. Layne Staley of Alice in Chains, nine years ago this week. Kurt Cobain, same day seventeen years ago. Sad week in the Seattle 90s rock movement.

- If there is either a creative change or he leaves the company and goes back to WWE, if used properly, Matt Morgan has the potential to go down as one of the best big men in wrestling history. He has the mic skills, charisma, and work rate to make an impact (no pun intended) of the business.

- Remember when The Beautiful People always brought in the biggest ratings on Impact week after week following the introduction of the Knockouts division? Could this Winter/Angelina angle be anymore eye roll inducing? Who would of thought that Billy Gunn as part of TBP would be more tolerable than a good worker like Katie Burchill/Winter?

- Really good beat down by RVD in the rafters to Anderson. "It's 4:20 Kenny, that means you're about to get smoked," was a great line that I don't think Rob's used since the first ECW One Night Stand. RVD 4:20 was an awesome take off of Austin 3:16 back in ECW so nice nostalgia reference. RVD does seem very motivated currently and actually interested in what he's doing which is always good to see.

- I'd like to thank Sting and TNA and for him not being Undertaker's opponent at Wrestlemania.

- Don't heel turns matter when a viewer is invested in a wrestler? Is it actually a heel turn when a wrestler is already a heel? Aside from the champions Beer Money, if the only other active teams in the tag team division are Orlando Jordan and Eric Young and the newly formed Hernandez and Anarchia, does it make sense to split a tag team? Really loving the Generation Me split and the air-tight logic.

- Win in typical heel fashion by Bully Ray over Daniels. Ray let Daniels get his spots in to help reintroduce his to the audience and Ray winning with help from Hogan makes sense to add more fuel to Fortune's fire going into Lethal Lockdown.

- Good promo by Jarrett followed by a really cool entrance by Angle repelling into the ring. You could see it coming with the fourth side of the cage not being up when the promo ended but I thought it would be Kurt dressed as part of the ring crew. Again, aside from your thoughts on the kids being involved early and whether you are a fan of the all cage format or not, this has been a really good angle and a cage match is the next intelligent step in this angle. The cowardly heel versus the face who can't seem to get his hands on him locked in one-on-one.

- Kurt on Hervey cam said that "the network" has an added stipulation to the match that will be revealed next week for Jarrett vs. Angle. My guess- a top on the steel cage and no escape.

- Flying side kick and rolling thunder put away Sting in RVD's debut last March in eight seconds. Sting kicks out at two this year in the opening minute of the main event. Planned opening to the match or coincidence? Yeah, I'm leaning latter.

- If you did not see Anderson attacking Murphy and Rob Terry the second he grabbed the steel pipe coming, wow is all I have to say.
