Over The Limit drew 65k buys, the lowest since that infamous December to Dismember in 06. Maybe people are FINALLY getting sick of "Cena and Orton win again" part 342

Eric Young was the best thing about Impact this week. Everything else was good enough I suppose apart from a few things.

Brian Kendricks is generic at best. And the knockouts division should just be done away with, a waste of screentime.

Eric Young had a spectacularly bad PPV dark match with CCW winner Danny Bonaduce a couple of years ago. Can't take him seriously.

Predictable results aside, I thought it was a decent PPV.

Given the above, you never going to get Savage-Steamboat II were you?

Hang on, he didn't even win it. It was the nutcase basketball bloke who had already done work for WCW and was mates with Hogan and Bischoff from the start. He worked stiff, caused injuries, knackered his own shoulder and still won.

Either way, Bonaduce wasn't a total shitarse and a good worker would have been able to carry him to a decent match. Young couldn't even do that.
