Adamle.... just wow. When Hacksaw was removed from the tag match, I thought for sure the new GM was Dibiase Sr.

Could be amusing though. Wonder if he'll be a straight heel GM or more of a tweener. I'd love to see him go straight heel and play up the fact that his stupid act was just a schtick.

TNA needs to grab more upcoming indy wrestlers (males) and quit focusing on the female division IMO. They can't continue 2-3 years from now with the same top card they have now no matter how entertaining they are at the moment.

Tomko wasn't doing a tremendous amount of wrestling on the air anyways and Nash is over the hill ringwise. They need to clean house and clear up some space for some new blood.

Strongly disagree. The knockouts consistently draw the highest ratings every week on Impact (which makes sense given that they're one of the few highlights of TNA).

TNA should drop the male wrestlers and go female-only. Then they'll have something that sets them apart from the WWE.

Is the Knockouts division still drawing the highest ratings for them, or did they screw that up too?

From a recent house show:

Spoiler

(The Fink informs the crowd before the match,by orders of new RAW GM Mike Adamle this will be a Handicap Match)
John Cena d. DiBiase & Rhodes (Handicap Match)

After the match Cryme Tyme hit the ring and Cena hit STFU on DiBiase Jr.

CM Punk d. Chris Jericho (World Heavyweight Title match-No DQ as voted by fans via text vote)

:| at the first one there.

I don't know which thread counts, but curious does anyone know where to find the second Tell Me a Lie video.

I swore there was one made after he won the WWE title and either got injured by Sid or lost his smile.
