JARRETT AND STEINER PASS ON OPTION 3 – STING CHOOSES NOW!
After passing on Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell as Sting’s potential partners for the May 14 “Sacrifice” Pay-Per-View, Jeff Jarrett and Scott Steiner did the same this week on “iMPACT!”. However, true to his word, Sting DID bring another option – who turned out to be Scott Steiner’s own brother and former tag team partner “The Dog Faced Gremlin” Rick Steiner! Now, the choice is out of Jarrett and Steiner’s hands as Sting will finally reveal his partner this Thursday night on “iMPACT!’ on SpikeTV!

NWA WORLD TAG TEAM TITLE REMATCH ANNOUNCED FOR “SACRIFICE”
On Thursday’s “iMPACT!”, AJ Styles and The Fallen Angel were robbed of their chance for tag team gold courtesy of Gail Kim, who interfered in the championship bout on SpikeTV. As a result, Championship Committee member Larry Zbyszko has announced a title rematch will take place on Sunday, May 14 at the “Sacrifice” Pay-Per-View – with Gail Kim and Jackie both barred from ringside!

LARRY Z: “THIS SITUATION IS EFFECTING MY HEALTH”
Not only is Larry Zbyszko watching his every decision now that he is under probation, but the Championship Committee member admitted on “iMPACT!” that the situation along with the recent return of Raven is effecting his health. It remains to be seen what will happen next now that a new face of TNA management is watching Larry Z closely. Better yet – who is the new face of TNA management? Larry’s night didn’t get any better, as Raven emerged from the crowd to chase his nemesis out of the arena!

KEVIN NASH SPEAKS – PART II TO AIR THURSDAY ON “iMPACT!”
The first part of Alex Shelley’s exclusive interview with Kevin Nash aired on Thursday’s “iMPACT!”, with Nash using some “creative” revisionist history in claiming he is the highest money-grossing World Champion ever. Nash also remarked how he was upset TNA management never called him to return, and even took a swipe at the athletes of the X Division. Part II of the Nash interview will air Thursday night on “iMPACT!”.

I watched some of Impact.  Alex Shelley maintains his stranglehold on TNA MVP.

Opening segment was a really sad state of just how far the once mighty have fallen.  A large part of it has to do with terrible booking, another large part of it has to fall on the acts themselves, but given that segment, its hard to believe that at one time The Dudley Boys vs the New Age Outlaws would have sold a lot of PPVs.  Now, Team 3-D vs the James Gang can barely elicit an audible response from the crowd and is a match people are dreading.

Speaking of audible responses from the crowd, is it just me or has TNA finally broken the will of the Orlando lemmings?  From what I watched, the only real response anything got was Joe and that could very well have been some Post-Production at work.  I've rarely had kind words for that crowd, but, used to, they were nothing if not vocal and enthusiastic.

Since hardly anyone's not bein' "rowdy" in this thread, I guess y'all won't miss it bein' stickied. :P
