Aj is no longer in TNA, therefore TNA was correct to let him go, therefore AJ is really bad. It makes perfect sense

"Sure, maybe Eric isn't as pretty as AJ, but he thinks we're beautiful, and he loves us and he's never leaving, and that's what matters!"

Maybe Punk doesn't want a bodyguard because they probably aren't cheap to have around.

More gems from the TNAsylum. http://www.tnasylum.com/2014/05/we-are-all-wrestlings-biggest-enemy.html

Time to finally get to the root of TNA's problems: the fans!


Yup, all other shows have fanbases that are just positive about their fandom 100% of the time. And do you really have to "look" for logic gaps in TNA wrestling?

Other enemies include the English language:


On how ridiculous it is to find race as a factor in MVP's stable:


If a stable had 100% of a promotion's white wrestlers in it and no one else, I think it might be seen by some as a racially motivated stable. Can't wait for Rampage or some more Bellator guys to join up with MVP.

Apparently he's never heard of a little show called Lost. Jesus.

At one point in time ROH had the best in-ring wrestling product in North America, or possibly the world.

TNA have never been best at anything. Except maybe embarrassing themselves as a company.

ROH is probably back to "best in the U.S.", in-ring wise. PWG might have a conention there, but they run less frequently and use a bunch of the same guys.

Reminder there are obsessive weirdoes that have various wrestlers mentions on super high priority watch lists.

And there's other weirdoes that have bios that read like "DM'd by John Cena 5/15/13 Followed by Dean Ambrose, Natalya is my life" Almost verbatim, every single time.

Wasn't there a dude who tweeted the better half of the WWE roster talking about his dead grandma asking for a sympathy retweet?

He might have been the same guy who had a thing for Kelly Kelly and felt the need to characterize every other diva as a whore.

I can see how a casual fan wouldn't know about Doink or whatever, but wasn't Cade's death heavily publicized since it was during Linda's senate run?

Yuji Nagata and Minoru Suzuki are only a year younger.

If KANE is good for his age, they would blow his mind.


I'm just gonna point out it's a bit unfair to compare Kane to people like Liger, Nagata and MiSu, in both directions. On one hand, Liger, Nagata and MiSu would be expected to do more because they're smaller.

On the other hand, Kane is enormous, and for a guy his age and his size, moves pretty well, so it's not that weird somebody could be tricked into thinking he's better than he is.

I can understand that some people genuinely love the product although I may question their taste. I don't get why that means you have to be in denial of reality though. Go ahead and mourn the fact that more people don't appreciate this "great product" if you want, but it's insane to deny every piece of evidence out there that the company's struggling at best and could possibly die very, very, soon.

I'm a sad NJPW mark and I don't get pissed when Meltzer questions their business decisions or points out that this current run isn't going to last more than a few years if they can't develop some new talent.

I'm pretty sure if they started running main events of Manabu Nakanishi vs Toru Yano, you'd be willing to call it for what it was, also.

At some point in their respective days, these guys sat down, perused that website, and said to themselves "I need the world to know that I think John Cena, and other wrestlers who have worked for WWE, are terrible and also gay".

I just realized something: you know how one of the main complaints about TNA is their endless attempts to emulate ECW? Even when it comes to complaining about the way the flagship show is promoted (on the same network, no less), they have the same complaints (although ECW on TNN was promoted sorta poorly).

Learn a new song, TNA Mecca/Asylum (I can't be bothered to differentiate which one said it).
