Gettin' Open-with EddaDrama

Once again it's on. Welcome ladies and gents, to another edition of Gettin' open-with EddaDrama.

This week's topic is simply about what could be the start of the "new" Monday night wars. Simply put. TNA has put their first Monday night Impact in the books.
TNA decided to go WCW and put out a 3hr show. While puttin' on "Hogan's show" for the 1st time in TNA, WWE put out some impact of it's own.
WWE Hall of famer Brett Hart was GM for the week.
Since I went "Pro WWE" last week, this week let's go TNA.

-That Steel Asylum cage match that featured some of the best in the X-Division today felt like a bad idea right from the jump.
Don't get me wrong, the stars involved wasn't the problem....that cage was the problem. What kinda crap was that?
You're supposed to climb the dome cage all the way to the center and escape through the little hole at the top of the cage?
Seriously??!! What..the regular 6 sides of steel match isn't workin' for TNA anymore? That dome cage sucks! They better stop using it if they don't wanna see people get hurt.
If you needed any proof about how dumb this cage idea was, then look no further than when Homicide cleared the ring by hitting all of the other wrestlers with a weapon, then attempted to escape the cage without interruption.
That didn't work out at all. It's not the wrestler...it's the cage! ...And what's with a "No contest" call in a cage match?
Really?! That's super cheesy. This match had a very bad first impression for me.
Former WWE Champion, Jeff Hardy saved the segment in my eyes. Coming out and beating on Homicide....wait..How did Homicide get out of the cage again?
None of the other wrestlers got out, but Homicide got to leave the cage even though he failed to escape out the top of the cage.
Opps!....Looks like he was supposed to escape to the outside and brag about it, just to run into Hardy. It didn't work out nearly the way that TNA wanted it to, but still...having Jeff Hardy show up was the highlight of the night for me.

-I also liked Samoa Joe vs Abyss. And the Main event match...AJ Styles vs Kurt Angle was a classic. Former WCWVP and RAW GM Eric Bishoff will take credit for makin' that match. I hope he learned a little bit more about Styles after his performance.
I just looked to me like Bishoff doubted Styles while talkin' to him.

-So Val...ah.."towel boy"..(whatever) made an apperance on the show and....ya know...nevermind all that.
-Ric Flair showed up as expected and was greatly recieved by the TNA fans.
-The Nasty Boys?! What's really good with that? These dudes don't really want a piece of Team 3D do they? Better question....TNA don't want the Nasty Boys..do they?
Hogan went deep into his Rolodex for that one.
-Finally, the old NWO guys got back together again. My question is...can we now count on Scott Hall to show up to PPVs? He keeps gettin' booked, and then not showin' up.
Plus...he better get in better shape than what I saw on this show. Nash and Syxx can get in and wrestle right away if asked. But I couldn't say the same for Hall.
*Overall the show was decent enough to put on though nothing at all to brag about. TNA could've really used some other talents other than Jeff Hardy.
Where's RVD? Even more so...where's Mr. Kennedy (Anderson)? TNA better stick to Thursdays at least until they get some REAL talent to complement their current superstars.
