TNA iMPACT! last night was built around the return of the Champions Challenge, and on paper, that should have made the episode feel like a major turning point on the road to Slammiversary. The concept is strong. Champions are placed in danger. All-Stars have a chance to earn future title opportunities. The stakes are easy … Read more
Last night’s TNA iMPACT! felt like a show trying to do two things at once.
