Bryan and Vinny vs. TNA and Russo - Impact Review with Video - Oct 14th 2010

A digression from the usual chronological format to have a look at an episode of Impact and a B&V review that stick in my mind for some reason. The Jeff Hardy heel turn era is memorable to me. The stable, Immortal, is a hodge podge of people who don't go together, Jeff's promos are delivered with this weird accent and this ridiculous melodrama, Rob Van Dam has the super dumb and funny version of his music, and of course Hogan and Bischoff are back to their old tricks, and they're nowhere near as novel as they were over a decade previous. Hogan is the top heel leader of this dominant asshole faction while recovering from back surgery and actually needing crutches. This show contains constant talking segments and almost no wrestling, plus a terrible, pointless celebrity cameo to promote an act that was only two weeks old. This really is peak Russo, like maybe WCW was able to tame him a bit compared to this.
