Scott Steiner as an authority figure would be amazing but would make no sense in story line.

Who's going to take Bully Ray seriously with this now that he jobbed to Storm in 3 minutes? I didn't like that at all.

Not looking forward to this episode. Last week was awesome; now they follow it up with what looks to be a crapfest/talkfest. Way to kill the X-Division, Pritchard. Had a chance for a 5* match; and then have Ray kill the match. He's already way over and that was totally unnecessary. When will they realize that Garrett belongs in OVW? Giving him a feud with Angle is stupid. How weak did it make Angle look to need Gunner to help him?
Finally, PLEASE NO HOGAN!!!

I'm not too worried about this episode.

I think they're going to drop Garrett into the mid card/X Division (considering Eric's sucking up to AA past Sunday), and it's not like Angle is losing to Garrett, the whole point of these bouts is to show that Garrett is determined to be a wrestler, and thus can handle a 3-5 minute beating by one of the best wrestlers in the business. Gunner doesn't run in to help Angle, because there's no reason to help Angle (as he isn't in any trouble or risk), it's Garrett refusing to give up.

And so what if Bully Ray run in during the X Division four-way? The past months, or even years, the mid card has been about adding flavour to the main event scene. TNA is doing a pretty decent job of mixing the different divisions up throughout a show, making everything feel "relevant" (to some extent). Be happy that TNA's mid card/X Division is so interesting to watch instead of the stale mid card you see in the WWE. What you'll get for this episode, is an entertaining X Division match for 5-10 minutes. Does it really matter that it has a finish, a clean winner? Not really no, the point is that you were entertained and then something happened that makes you want to find out what's going to happen next (sadly, these are tapings, so everybody knows what will happen next by the time it airs).

I'm not saying that this show will be better than the pas few Impacts, but just because the spoilers mention Hogan and the interruption of a sacred X Division match, doesn't mean it'll blow.

I never thought of Garett's matchs as tryouts or to see if he can have what if takes to be a wrestler. Great way of putting it

Okay, so Garrett Bischoff is basically Mikey Whipwreck but 1000x less talented.

Bully Ray interfering in the X-Division match is the most interesting thing that's happened in the X-Division for a long time. Why are people complaining about that? Bully Ray + Austin Aries = Awesome segment

Also, no signs of Mr.Anderson.

what names are in the X division? I don't mean what are their names, I mean what recognizable names are there? there's Austin Aries, and a bunch of nobodies. TNA at least had some glimmer of hope when Alex Shelley was in there with Aries, but he's going to be back with Chris Sabin soon when MCMG return. I don't think your general audience on TV really care much about anyone other than Aries. if TNA really wanted to build the X division more they would include other notable names like RVD, Daniels, Kazarian. Zema has potential, but Nese shouldn't be on TV.

I didn't really want to see Daniels and Kazarian against Storm. those 2 should still be feuding with AJ Styles, setting something up for Lockdown, which still could happen. we still don't know why Kazarian flipped on AJ. at the PPV Daniels and Kazarian didn't seem on the same page, I was wondering if it would lead to a threesome. I mean a triple threat match, not a threesome.

I thought it was a joke last time Garrett survived 5 minutes with Angle, now he almost survives 3 minutes. this kid is a joke.

I have no problem with Hogan back in control. I'll wait and see how this all plays out before having too much of an opinion. but I don't see it hurting. Hogan IMO definite has done good in TNA. the best thing he ever did was get rid of the garbage 6 sided wrestling ring TNA used to have.

I read somewhere that the reason the Storm/Bully match was over so fast was because Storm had recently had ankle surgery sometime prior to the PPV.

I like that Hernandez is back. he has an impressive look. he should be heel and not talk. this other guy Anawhatever should be gone, he's useless.
