it's like when Ric Flair skipped town with the actual Big Gold Belt, only he didn't have twitter to call everyone a mark then

It's funny to me that we still expect great things out of Alberto El Patron, but none of those expectations involve showing up and acting professionally

I think stuff will definitely hit 10 pages next month when GFW World Champ Del Rio becomes TNA World Champ Del Rio too, that's definitely the type of thing that'll bring the ratings

I think its more that quite a few of us aren't watching this and only read the thread to see what self destructive bullshit TNA has done recently and they've been lacking in that for a while. I mean I'm totally numb to bad TNA booking now because it's been an almost entirely poorly booked company for its entire history.

The defeat of Billy Corgan and the fizzling out of the summer of lawsuits kind of broke me. Those events held so much promise of spectacular failure and ended in a concert of wet farts, in typical TNA fashion. Now I'm not even sure what to expect, TNA could debut another fat oiled stripper and maybe give him the world title and I'd be "Eh".

Well TNA didn't really give a gently caress if Kurt OD'ed or drank himself to death.

Don't tell that to Mecca. They are giving TNA's supportive family atmosphere full credit for Kurt turning his life around.

The wrestling is probably fine but I can't stand his booking anymore and the first few The Crash shows seemed particularly stupid in terms of booking.

Not being complicit in visa fraud, booking TNA now-sister promotion The Crash and heckling the poo poo out TNA sister promotion AAA.


Oh and podcasts g with Disco Inferno and that one radio DJ from Saints Row IV who always shows up at the start of Botchamania.

So what ever happened to Chris Harris' career? Did he just go to WWE, show up completely fat and out of shape, and basically destroy his entire career forever? Was he ever any good in TNA or just a footnote? Beer Money seemed way more over than him and Storm anyway.

Chris Harris was really good (and in shape) in TNA, America's Most Wanted was super over, and he had a chance to be a singles star in TNA following his breakup feud with Storm and their incredible deathmatch, but then he was put in a feud with Black Reign that killed his momentum.

Then he floated rumors he was talking to WWE, got fired for it, became Braden Walker and more or less never got back into shape.
