The 18 second match Daniel bryan has accredited with getting him over, As a huge fan(even bordering on mark) of Daniel bryan I can say that I'm glad he lost like that. People actually care about him now.

The embrace the hate story line I also liked, it gave a side of John we hadn't seen... plus it gave every ones favorite Broski some air time Win/Win!

I can't recall the scramble thing you are talking about

Paul Heyman's fake heart attack was great! He's a heel and he used a real life event to get over more as a heel. That's good stuff IMO. Jerry was obviously ok with it.

sheeesh... Those are actually all the angles that made me feel like they were constantly insulting my intelligence -_-

I did find the fake heart attack to be pretty good. I just wish it had a better execution.

Or the angle that WWE did similar to the AJ baby angle... AJ Lee / John Cena / Vickie Guerrero scandal...

AJ Lee as GM?

Brock losing to Cena immediately after returning from a LONG absence?

18 seconds to open Mania?

The Fake Heart Attack?

Survivor Series Scramble angle that added Cena to the match... Almost the night of the PPV?

Trust me; TNA had some bad angles and moments in 2012... But let's not give them their "due diligence" without holding them accountable to the same standards.

I like the fact that TNA takes their time and develops storylines over long extended periods of time. I just wish they could do something better as far as leaving cliff hangers and things like that. I think WWE does a better job at that. Where TNA has great ideas and develop their stories longer, I think they take too long. Aces & Eights should have been full out by now, with them looking either very strong, or completely disband by now.

Good blog man. Welcome back and maybe we'll see an Uncooked soon???

Yep. You might just see one after this raw.

As for all the other comments. Thank you guys. Ill try to reply to each

Personally I dont see TNA competing with WWE. They are way to far off. Taking Kurt Angle, A retired Hulk Hogan, A 65 year old Ric Flair or a Broken down Jeff Hardy are not gonna make viewers tune in or buy PPVs.

WCW Competed with WWF cause they took current main eventers and gave fans dream matches every week that they use to have to buy PPVs for. The matches wasn't good by any means but the name value was there. WCW had all TNAs names and several more and they were all relevant and still able to perform (back then they were considered in the twilight of their career imagine almost 20 years later).

If TNA wants to compete they have to stop copying and steal talent that still matters such as Randy Orton, CM Punk, John Cena, Sheamuse or a Chris Jericho.

TNA would steal Lower card talent like Rhino and make them champion with in a month. That makes the company look terrible and lower level wrestling company.

I've been giving TNA crap on their storylines, but the most recent episode of Impact surprised me. Correct me if I'm wrong but every single match they are building towards at Lockdown has a story behind it. You have the break up of Robbie E and Robbie T, the somewhat awkwardly executed Kenny King vs. Rob Van Dam "you're out of the X Division if you lose" thing, Bully Ray has the nepotism story going on having Hulk favor him to fight Hardy for the title, Team TNA vs. Aces and Eights while I hate the handling of the story the men on each team make sense (except maybe James Storm), Brisco vs. Angle you have Brisco's betrayal of his long time mentor, Gail Kim vs. Velvet Sky was set up nicely with Taryn Terrell arguably screwing over Gail, and Daniels/Kaz vs. Chavo/Hernandez, and Roode/Aries has the champs going for all the gold in TNA while Chavo and Hernandez have been trying to get in their heads recently. Then you have AJ Styles being a loner and distant.

All in all big improvement from TNA in the storylines area lately
