Also it was my fault anyway so I can’t be mad at them for telling me to gently caress off and yelling at me because I was standing next to them like an idiot whole they were having a private conversation, I just got stuck in an awkward situation and couldn’t move away in time because I got too anxious to operate my body.

Still not the worst Gunner broke my glasses at an indie, but Cedric Alexander made up for it and told me Gunner was a loser.

New MJF "here's my promo about how I'm so messed up to garner both sympathy and revilement" turning out weird

(Can you imagine if he went to WWE and cut one of those baffling promos where he talks about murdering his only love because he has ADHD or whatever on the Miz and R-Truth? I can. RTruth dances after it, in my imagination.)

It really sucks that Lucky Ali immediately got injured :( But there has to be a moment where people realize the whole "knee destroying factory" thing holds merit right? Like, I know they'll keep getting away with this because they always do, but someone has to notice the pattern, right?

You''d hope that they'd eventually notice that the strength and conditioning team is doing something wrong because there are so many knee and shoulder injuries coming out of the Performance Centre. Like poo poo will happen when you do something as intense as wrestling but if an AFL team had as many ACL injuries a year as the Performance Centre has then they'd barely be able to field a full team.

I tried watching TNA in chronological order and I have stopped at episode 32, that was 2 months ago

It's way worst than late WCW because it's LATE WCW++

Also gently caress BG James that is the man who ruined any enjoyment I was getting from the early years

Precisely

TNA would have undercard stuff, wcw still had folks like ddp, Steiner and booker putting on good stuff, as well as the cruisers

On the plus side, it was as far as I know his idea. On the minus side, it was uncomfortably sexual in a weird way and they still only referred to his sexuality via euphemism.

His catchphrase was “its our little secret” and he carried around a shake-weight, then he became a tag team with Eric Young when Eric was doing a gimmick that he had an eternal concussion that made him stupid. I think that’s all he did.
