Haven't watched it not suer that I will. You can easily skip this episode... Yikes. I am looking forward to the PPV, though... I hope they can get it back together, because I really like what they had been putting together up to this point.

Didn't know if they would take Cornette completely out of the episode or not. Man that sucks that they ruined the show. Hopefully it can pickup after the next set of tapings, because they had a cool thing going even if I wasn't a regular viewer, it was a nice occasional alternative.

Episode 8 was a huge letdown. I did like that the PPV started to come into focus with a few matches being set-up. The empty arena match made no sense. Why was ? facing one of the Dawsons? Stevens said they were being punished. At least it's some explanation I guess.
Hope they get back to normal format next week and go full steam ahead into the Fire.

Well, not top quality (mostly cause it was doing PPV build) but solid enough. Congrats to the RNR for winning the belts. Still wondering what the endgame for the Stevens/Mark/Cabana/Starks is.

This week's episode was pretty good.
The Aron Stevens promo was great. Coming out in a ka-ra-te gi and the 3rd degree National belt was brilliant!
I didn't realize until just now that Into The Fire was taped in the studio? That comes across as pretty low speed for a PPV.
They need to decide who we are supposed to be cheering for. It changes week by week. This seems like a case of them booking as they go. I hope they intend to use Tim Storm in a prime face role as I think he would be so good there. And maybe James Storm will join him.
I'll be the dissenter and say that there is no need for a TV title outside of nostalgia. Do they even have a roster big enough to support three titles? And why the hell is Aldis involved? I'm sure they have some convoluted reason they may eventually get to but it's just stupid that this would even be allowed to happen.

Stevens is a lot of fun. I enjoy Tim Storm every time I see him. Funny to watch Nikita not even attempt a Russian accent (it wasn't good but at least he was doing something) Some good storylines set up and I hope CW gets a chance to show his wares in a longer match at some point. Also, you're right, no need for a TV belt although the time limit gimmick (6:05) is at least original in the brevity.

At one show, someone commented on Nikita's lack of an accent and he said that he had been in the states so long, it wore off...

Episode 12 was fantastic. Tim Storm's promo sold the feud. I love that Aldis is full heel with a stable. The explanation for him being in the TV tourney and then the swerve was just classic studio wrestling. Stevens and his exhibition of "shooter" skills was very good. Trevor Murdoch uses Harley Race's Indian Deathlock!

The show was really good shame Stu is degenerating into generic heel commentator #505.
