Idol Stevens/Damien Sandow/Aron Rex is always saying it's time for him to show the "real him" and then just does another impersonation of some other past wrestler. Perhaps they'll reveal there is no "real" Aron Rex and he's a sociopath with split personalities

I have this mental image of Aron Rex having a tea party with Dixie Carter's severed head now, thanks.

Christy Hemme was on creative before her so that doesn't surprise me.

Its really remarkable how bad a gimmick Aron Rex has. I'm pretty sure I'm buying the shoot interview or listening to the podcast where he explains this gimmick because I just need to try and understand what he thinks is happening here.

Its the kind of thing would have been a great heat magnet 20 years ago that has 0 resonance nowadays. I mean people are like "ugh, Aron Rex" but no one's like "Ugh, Aron Rex, I totally bought tickets to watch Davey Richards cripple him"

wait AAA still has ties to TNA? I thought Konnan kiboshed that.

E: I'm not surprised if Russo is in the mix. He and JJ must have read the bible together awesomely once or something.

I'm not even sure Canada would let Russo in, much less allow him to work.

Pro wrestling has always been a way for socially disgraced people to engage in humanizing PR.

Does the wrestling industry in general give a single poo poo about TNA? They seemed to be in their own little microcosm of terribleness for years now, it's like saying Troma affects the movie business except that Troma is good.

TNA's deals are appetizing for people that don't want huge time commitments or the hassle of being WWE Property.

This company is incapable of doing anything right and it oscillates on the endearing to infuriating scale.

since the discussion has gone to terrible Jeff Jarrett overbooking, now I have to wonder: which was worse, the King of the Mountain match or the Reverse Battle Royale?

King of the Mountain made sense in a oh god I drank all these energy drinks and I can sound now kind of way.

Reverse Battle Royal was just stupid and no one knew how to work it.

Literally the only time Jeff Jarrett was over in his entire career was when fans would pop for Debra's chest and he happened to be standing nearby

how Debra didn't get a sponsorship with Wonderbra is beyond me.
