Well, the Crazzy Steve imagery has a lot of potential if nothing else.

So Tonight was Kurt Angles last night with TNA. I've just returned from the tapings in Birmingham.

There's rumors going around Angke got a concussion Friday night. Don't know how much that had to do with anything- Angle was actually in front of the live crowd a total of twice all night (they taped 1.5 episodes of impact, 2 Xplosion matches and an hour of "one night only PPV" content.

They taped a 13 man "gauntlet battle royal" - basically a royal rumble, last. They could have done it at any point, but they chose last. So on Angles last night wrestling for TNA, filing an episode that is surely going to be a big deal, the last 10 minutes were spent focused on...

Grado. A fat Scottish version of Colt Cabana. He was begging Billy Corgan to phone Madonna and see if they could use like a prayer on TV. Corgan looked like an idiot, acted like an idiot, and was dressed... Like an idiot. The night ended with EC3, the Hebners, Velvet Sky, Dixie Carter and Drew Galloway dancing to like a prayer.

Who needs to say farewell to Kurt Angle when you can do that instead?

Stay classy, Dixie. Be kind of fitting if they got back to Florida and found out that Universal Studios converted their part of the building to a warehouse for big bags of popcorn and frozen churros. Makes for an awesome Angle promo if he ever makes a new deal with WWE where he can just cut them to shreds on the mic.

That they're inevitably, and usually immediately, going to do the dumbest and most self-damaging thing possible is the only certainty with them anymore. It's like what Conky the puppet said about why he kept giving shit to Ricky on Trailer Park Boys "I can't help it Julian, he's just so STUPID!".


That goddamn spooky puppet motherfucker should be hangin with Vince & Bucky.. (Man, you get a Gold Internet Star for mentioning Conky out of the blue like that.)

I liked the part in TPB Season 8 on Netflix where they brought back Conky and he had his own finger-puppet that looked like Ricky. Then he started saying things like "Me name Ricky! Me so fucking stupid!".

Suggestion for TNA: hire The Green Bastard to do your booking for you. It couldn't be anywhere as bad as what you decided to do on your own for Kurt Angle's last night with the company.

Yeah I just started watching TNA again a few weeks ago and as per usual the "Fuck TNA they need to be gone YESTERDAY!!!" crowd is in full effect. I've honestly never understood this mindset as, to me, ANY alternative to the boring cycle of WWE is a good thing. Even one that does a double-turn that nobody wanted. Hell that kind of insanity is part of the enjoyment! It's not a fucking polished machine with barely any room for actual excitement. I know it's the novelty of getting back into a product I've missed the past 5+ months but I've enjoyed TNA more than Raw lately. This is probably 90% due to the fact that it's not three FUCKING HOURS long and much more digestable at two hours but Hardy is doing fine as a heel champion (I can feel the TNA haterzzz fuming), Beer Money is still awesome, Galloway is still on the rise, and really anything is better than watching Ziggler wrestle his umpteenth meaningless match of the year. I'll keep watching.

I still watch TNA, I still know that the talent is there, and I'm more than willing to give Matt a a chance as heel champion since he did great work in ROH. Their management just needs a major overhaul since they're the main reason why TNA is failing.

Absolutely. They do have some very talented people there, but when your biggest star of the past 10 years is retiring, you should make a much bigger deal than having a dozen guys (including the Harris twins!) stand around the ring for a couple of minutes, and then have your guy compete in a ten minute match and just say "cheers" and walk away.

The last thing that happened on Kurt Angles last ever night with the company was a fat Scottish guy dancing to a Madonna song. If that doesn't sum up everything wrong with TNA, I don't know what could.

Maybe they're worried he's heading back to WWE quickly... has he always had his own superstar page? I know they removed Hogan, and this is from the Alumni section, but wasn't sure if it was normal practice or not...

Huh. I just watched a small asian woman finish off a large man of questionable ethnic origin...ooooonlyyy I didn't search Asa Akira and....yep, my pants are on. Yet, probably the strangest thing about this whole situation is that I'm posting in a TNA thread.

I only keep up with TNA through recaps anymore. Last night's show sounded swervetastic, but I'm glad they finally put the title on Drew Galloway, just because Drew Galloway fucking rules. So, on a personal level, I'm happy for the guy to get the recognition. Hopefully another year or two being a big fish in a little pond will lead him back to WWE (although I'd be just as happy to see him in Lucha Underground or NJPW - I just want more Drew).

Still not enough to make me watch TNA again, though.

Looks like both Eric Young and Bobby Roode requested and were given their release from TNA. With EY at 36 and Roode at 39, it'll be interesting to see where they go from here.

I'd imagine a safe bet would be NXT for Roode, maybe with call-up potential even since he's got the ideal "Vince's solid midcard" body. EY...maybe NXT? Though I could see him showing up once or twice, becoming NXT Santino, and becoming a coach or something for their Performance Center.

I would've thought Roode was too old for them to give him a chance, but with AJ and Aries coming in recently, I wouldn't be surprised to see Roode show up. EY...god, I have a hard time separating EY the performer, who does have good qualities, from the characters he's played in TNA, most of which were horrendous. He's certainly game for anything, which is a point in his favor. I can see them bringing him in just for NXT, as a veteran for the young guys to work with coming up, a la Rhino.

Sucks especially for Storm because with his return they made such a big deal out of the re-uniting of Beer Money. WWE probably won't hold out the chair for Storm either again. Not that he dissed them by returning to TNA but given that they're overloaded with former TNA talent now they probably don't have any real interest or need, aside from getting another memorable NXT crowd pop or two, from bringing anymore of them in.

Dixie made a big schmoozing congrats to Hogan over his defeating Gawker in the lawsuit. Could be an honest thing from a friend. Then again she could also be seeing Hogan as the one to sell TNA to and still make a buck out of it. Won't happen with Vince who'd probably offer them a half-million tops just for the archive and then shut them down altogether just so they won't distract from NXT.

Feel a bit bad for Roode, everywhere seems to be stacked. NJPW has more guys than they know what to do with and NXT will probably slow down with the big signings after the big rush of January. Maybe reform Team EGO with Daniels and Kazarian in ROH?

Watching the 5/4 episode now. Early takeaways -

Holy shit Bobby Lashley is horrible. If you ever need evidence for how much Bobby Lashley needs to be kept away from a microphone, watch tonight's promo against Dixie. It all makes sense why he plummeted post-WWE. I'm shocked he ever got to be in the McMahon/Trump feud. Does his face ever show emotion?

With their "evolution" (holy shit, the mask is gone and Abyss has facepaint!!!) and their new "We can possibly shoot mist at any time" threat, (oh, and with the TNA titles in-hand) Decay has really built themselves a fun little stable, I must say. I'm enjoying them.

Decay is one of the bright spots of TNA, but that promo where Rosemary spit mist into Steve's open mouth was just....ew.

Yeah, that was why I never understood why Bobby got such a big push in WWE. Dude cannot work the mic and has one of the most unintimidating voices I've heard on a big dude like that. He's an impressive physical specimen, but he needs a manager in the worst way.

I have been sampling a little TNA again, but strictly through their Youtube channel, where I can just choose the segments (Decay stuff, Drew Galloway, anything with Maria's ass) and ignore the rest.

I am so completely and utterly out of the loop as far as TNA goes, but I have to ask: Why does Matt Hardy look like Toecutter now?



Would anybody care to clue me in?

The storyline is that his battles against ECIII, Galloway, and his brother have "broken" him, and he is over the deep end. He now dresses and acts like a pirate, vampire, street magician and talks in some weird melodramatic accent.

The promos with him and his brothe including Reba Sky throwing a baby at Jeff so that Matt can attack him from behind have been epic in the most bizarre, Adult Swim sort of way. If you can find them on YouTube or somewhere, I highly suggest you check them out.

Too Many (Meth) Cooks? I...I might actually check that out. These days I only seem to be able to enjoy The Hardyzses on an ironic level so this might be right up my alley. Thanks. I think?

Get him to sing as well because he's about a hair's breadth away from turning into Johnny Depp in Sweeny Todd.
