tna is a bad and stupid company.

-----

THIS MONTH ON TNA (does wrestling even matter anymore?)

- The Beautiful People are still terrible and feuding with Brittany and...who cares this angle sucks.

- EC3 and Bully Ray are still feuding. Also Bully still wants to put Dixie through a table. TNA.

- Bram (Kenneth Cameron, also known as THE COP BEATER) is in TNA now, trying to get Magnus to embrace his violent side.

- Kaz is gone from TNA now. His last match was one of the worst things I have ever seen in pro wrestling. Not joking.

- Eric Young is feuding with totally not an evolution ripoff: MVP, Kenny King, and Bobby Lashley

- Did I mention how stupid the above angle is? Because it is.

- I'm sure I'm missing a feud but its entirely forgettable, like most of the TNA roster.

You forgot that MVP got injured yesterday and the X-Ray was inconclusive.

Also is that really the Slammiversary posted? If so that's amazing.

I guess TNA is finding out what horrible things can happen when you tape TV six weeks at a time and don't bother to schedule one final taping within a week of a PPV.

One misfortune? That's possible. Two misfortunes? There's an outside chance. Three or more misfortunes? I'd like to see that!

*Sting disappears for no on-screen reason*

*Vince Russo returns backstage*

*Kurt Angle blows out a knee*

*every TNA-grown "star" runs screaming from the company as soon as their contracts are up*

*Jeff Hardy decides to work under a mask as an insane wood-elf*

*PPV main-eventer MVP destroys knee with final two weeks of build-up already in the can and no opportunity to tape new material*

I'm really watching this to compare it to 2001 WCW at this point, but I think TNA might be more pathetic.

TNA will always be more pathetic than WCW because WCW reached higher heights than anyone ever had before collapsing hilariously.

TNA has been failure after failure after failure forever.

Good for Benjamin (and Haas). I wasn't sure there for a moment because forgetting about the six or so weeks Benjamin could have been there seemed very TNA to me.

He's safe and sound wrestling for NJPW and occasionally some small indies after his stop in ROH since leaving WWE, no involvement with TNA at all.

The title picture is kind of a Doomsday Clock for me. They slowly phased out the Knockout Tag Titles, now the TV Title. Next comes the regular Knockout Title, X-Division Title, Tag etc.

The last episode of Impact will feature the last title holder not defending his title and in fact not mentioning that there is a title, and then TNA will disappear in a puff of smoke.

MVP did keep his bookings in the Netherlands after suffering a knee injury over the weekend for Preston City Wrestling in the UK. He worked for Dutch Pro Wrestling yesterday, appearing as their general manager as he was unable to wrestle. MVP was on crutches and appeared not to be able to put any weight on his knee.

So they're just going to air the next two taped Impacts as is, then shoehorn a quick injury angle into the start of Slamiversary? I can't think of anything else they can do.

At this point I'm expecting a Magnus-esque match from MVP/Young, where MVP lies around for 15 minutes while Spud, EC3, Lashley, Kenny King, Samoa Joe, Bully Ray, and more people all run in and brawl.

I suppose they could do something web-exclusive. It'd probably get as many or more views as Slammiversary will.

Getting to see guys you've seen on TV is a pretty big deal, especially if you're overseas, where you wouldn't even have had the chance on the fairly regular schedule the US gets.

Remember, TNA regularly draws many thousands to every show when they do their UK tour.

When I lived in England as a kid there were local feds who would book such exciting and high profile wrestlers as the Bastion Booger and he drew like crazy compared to their normal dudes. So yes, "special guest as seen on tv" draws fairly well for indies.

They signed an actual contract in late April apparently, no idea how long it's for though.

IIRC it was a two year deal. Hopefully he's being paid handsomely because this gig is really dumb. Even by MVP's standards.
