Caution is a word that I can't understand
HAHAHAHA ok I'll admit, I've been out of the loop about GFW and TNA since the Hardys left. This is the first I've heard about this and it's absolutely hilarious!! What will they come up with next?

To be truthful, the rebranding is probably the best choice they could have made all around...

Actual spoilers for upcoming shows they're likely ending Slammiversary with Del Rio holding both world titles so yeah this can easily get even funnier

DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
TNA announces and hypes up a thing and then it fizzles and never actually happens? I'm so shocked

quote:

Regarding the cancellation of the World of Sport tapings, the public story is logistical problems and the idea the tapings were too close to the dates for the Impact tapings in India (which are 5/30 and 6/1) and they are having trouble getting new dates, but that’s a clear cover reason. The key problem is what was reported here last week regarding ITV and Impact not coming to a business agreement over their partnership.

I'm sure they'll get to it after those India tapings. yeah, those are for sure going to happen. no, man, it's happening this time. trust me.

He comes out to James Storm's music, dressed in a cowboy outfit, talks with an exaggerated Southern accent. Hits on ladies, calls Storm a coward, says this town ain't big enough for both of them. Then sings a song he made up to the tune of Friends in Low Places

Ends with him brawling with Storm, whipping a handcuffed Storm, then whipping security

like with a bullwhip? sounds like the kind of thing that needs an announcer feud to make it compelling

His pants belt. I don't remember the spoilers aside from the song part that well but I believe this was part of a legit 2 or 3 week streak where he made fun of the Cowboy by whipping Storm and others with his pants belt severely and frequently whenever he could

It wasn't even the 4th most bizarre part of the taping week, IIRC

I feel like saying "EC3 sings a Friends In Low Places parody for at least two minutes straight" doesn't communicate the pain and bafflement experienced seeing it actually happen.

I have no idea who either of those guys are, and I have no idea what the hell it has to do with Total Force Action, but I do know that it was loving stupid. Almost makes the Borash-Matthews storyline look good by comparison.

There wasn't a single move, even a punch, that he could have done on the pizza delivery guy? I'm not asking for the second coming of Steve Austin here but goddamn at least try to remind your audience that they're watching wrestling.

Did they tell the guy to deliberately do as lovely a job as possible when talking, I don't loving get this

Give me 20 bucks, and I'd film, or be filmed getting in, a fight. Wouldn't even need to involve people on the roster if the budget doesn't allow that, and at least it'd involve action in a goddamn fighting program

Were either of those guys even on the roster?!

If TNA were any good at anything ever they would film lovely stuff like this to provoke this exact reaction and they'd take advantage of it by raking in viewers with tons of fan-produced material that's 100% better than what they could have done.
