Programming Notes, etc.
I just wanted to address a couple of quick things while I have a few minutes here. It's actually scary how many emails I've received about this in the last three, four days; kind of flattering, too.
As The Rick has mentioned, yes, I'm taking some time off from my regular column duties, but really, I doubt it will be too long a hiatus. A lot of changes going on in my life right now (and essentially, those of you who know ALREADY KNOW what I'm talking about; if you don't, don't worry about it), and I've just got to focus on the tasks at hand, thus the columns are going to be secondary.
That said, I already have a WWI column set up for this Tuesday, and I'm scrambling to finish a new ITR as well. The week after that? Who knows? My point being, it will just be a little more sporadic than normal. "And that's all I got tah say about that!"
Quick, very late in the day, Happy Father's Day to everyone out there. My son surprised me this morning with a card he made in school and a comic book he had drawn for me... I'm a sucker for sentimental stuff like that....
Finally, I just wanted to add that I'm watching my first TNA PPV in some time tonight (essentially, since the Wednesday PPV era). I wasn't planning on ordering it until I saw Impact! last night and they did one helluva hard sell for the event.
AJ/Daniels vs AMW was fantastic, with tons of false finishes. Nash vs Sabin was fun, though predictable. The X division match was spotty, but still worth watching. Samoa Joe vs Scott Steiner was probably the best I've seen Steiner look in YEARS. He was used pretty much perfectly in this instance, building up Joe while masking his own reputation in recent years of being a roided-up joke. Cornette gave a great little promo. I'm still watching the main event (and haven't seen the Rhino or Team 3-D matches yet, but so far the King of the Mountain match is nothing to sneer at.
In short, I never thought I'd enjoy a show with Jeff Jarrett, Scott Steiner, Sting and Kevin Nash so much, but it's been well worth the money thus far...
That's about it. Have a good night.

You are correct sir! The TNA PPV was fan-fucking-tastic.
My admiration of Samoa Joe only grows as I see him in the ring against people that aren't up to his speed. The fact that he made Steiner look good despite not being able to employ some of his offense due to Scotty's suckiness is a testament to his adaptability as a wrestler. (And the promo package to set up the match was golden.)
This also applies to Sabin to a less extent. To get something watchable out of Nash, it took Sabin AND Alex Shelley.
Speaking of Alex Shelley - the hand-in-the-pants tag and the scrotal rope burn were great. He does something different every time you see him, which is an aspect of TNA that I love. It's not so damn repetitive.
The only real shatty thing that sticks out to me from last night is Sting's Scorpion Death Lock on Christian. It looks absolutely HORRIBLE (much like the Steiner Recliner), and I never wish to see it again.
