Ninety-one? There are ninety other "Tiger Drivers"? Do any involve actual tigers, or driving?
Still think people would be making GBS threads mercilessly all over this just like every other dumb TNA thing if it was between any other two idiots. But it's THE loving HARDY BOYZZZ so suddenly it's hilarious and great and people claim they enjoy it unironically.

Congrats to TNA for finally cracking the code on how to transcend their lovely image I guess.

no other 2 idiots would have done this. TNA has been a trainwreck right from the start and at some point is going to die a whimpering death, but it's been a sad little boring show lately (moreso than usual, anyway), out of nowhere we get a loving mad scientist with a hologram drone air force and a fireworks fight.

It's still going to die and yeah this angle is either going to vanish or burn out but for now why not watch Matt wild the gently caress out? It's not as if this shitbox promotion is going to do anything else

Why yes, Illinois Smith, when good actors play roles people tend to enjoy visual media much more.

Oh I didn't realize that he was copying the dude's wording exactly, I've seen enough people unironically state such so I figured it was just another case.

I don't think it's fair to call someone a "bad actor" just because they're not capable outside their niche.

You either like a thing or you don't, imo, and to hell with whether or not you're maintaining the correct ironic distance from the fact

And, since I have a soft spot for productions with more passion than competence, this entire storyline has entertained me immensely. :allears:

I really and unironically like Decay. I really dig Jimmy Havoc and Beer Money. The Wolves are alright. I'm a fan of Abyss even if I can't always remember why. I miss Daffney still. I really miss The Fallen Angel and Kazarian. Both those guys are old but can go like Goldust. The Kevin Nash backstage bit that one of the WWE goons took for his avatar? Freakin hilarious. Aces and Eights? Pretty drat nice. Watching Bully Rae/Bubba go from forever tag teamer to main eventer was great for a while. AJ and Samoa Joe were great in everything they did, both good times and frustratingly wasted times. Big and Little Poppa Pump? Brilliant! X-Division for the fist 6-8 years? Mostly woot.

Yeah TNA has been brutal many times for a long time but not every moment was the Women's Wrestling Special or Drunk Hardy vs Sting or even Joker Sting. WWE fanatics still follow and love WWE in spite of their many faults. Not every album is OK Computer. If someone is irritated at all the new TNA fans? Why? Beats like 5 people making "loltna" in the thread every 6 months or so. I used to browse the thread and hardly said a thing as it just seemed like I was a fly hovering over a dying horse. Final Deletion a retardedly fun angle that has brought some new life to something that seemed as dead as Hitler. If TNA manages to get better then great - if it dies and all this did was help the Hardy's and some other guys that will never make it in WWE a tiny bit more Indie money or a chance at ROH/IWF then still, tres bien. Chill and enjoy the ride. Its the most fun things have been around here in a bit.

Agreed. So over the top. I thought Lucha Underground would be the most awesomely camp wrestling show around but lo and behold.

By the way, check out the LU season finale. Pentagon Jr was great and Rey Mysterio VS Prince Puma was bueno.
And in TNA News: Lashley Vs Eddie Edwards tonight for the TNA and X-Division Title. OUR LORD MESSIRE MATT HARDY VERSUS James Storm.

Not that I didn't think it before of course, but the AMA proves that he's really put some thought into the character, it's full of genuinely funny jokes and little quirks that would never come up on TV.
