New Place, Old Shit

First off, ....

With google trying to simplify the use of their products (ie. google, youtube, blogger etc.) I am now unable to log onto blogspot/blogger without logging out everywhere else. Considering Blogger is the "product" I use the least, I decided to set up a new blog, so I am not relegated to the tedious task logging in everywhere. Either way, you'll find my previous entries right here and here. I wouldn't bother visiting the last one, as it was simply a school assigned blog, that has no use anymore, as far as I'm concerned.

As for this blog, expect no revamping or any of that garbage. I slightly changed the look of it, to something else that's default. Oh, and the name. I felt this blog could do with a more pro wrestling themed, less idiotic title. With that out of the way, let's go.


The blog title actually refers to my move, but it fits general TNA programming.

TNA  Impact Wrestling has been a source of hilarity for a long time. However, most of my humour-induced actually is entirely accountable to former TNA wrestler Matt Lardy Hardy. Grab your easel, cause we're gonna paint a picture.

Matt Hardy debuts at Genesis, becomes a beacon of mediocrity until a few months ago. Nope, he didn't improve. He just followed his boneheaded brother in getting suspended from the company.

Somewhere in August (might get it wrong, I suck at remembering dates), the older Hardy wraps his car around a pole or tree and tests positive for alcohol (in a more fancy manner: DWI). Hilarity ensues when the internet wrestling community proceeds to mock him for yet another chapter in  Matt Hardy's Great Chronicle of Tool. He reacts by posting a video with a cryptic message, seemingly pointing towards a suicide attempt.

Some idiots bought it and cops actually show up at his front door. He then posts a video dispelling the suicide message, claiming it to be a rebirth for Matthew Hardy. Fair game.

He was "rid of his demons". Again, fair game. Then, last week, he gets arrested again for DWI. I intend to buy  the Matt Hardy Chronicle if that ever comes out. Should be an awesome read. Regardless, TNA fired him. Unlike Kurt Angle, who got arrested, but signed a new deal instead. Something tells me it has to do with the fact that Matt Hardy has never been over, and burned every possible bridge with the fans by being a tool. Kurt Angle is an all-around success story. Just guessing.

In other Hardy news, the Jeff drug case finally got a verdict. Sadly, Jeff only has to spend 10 days in jail. In the meantime, he returned to Impact, despite his last "match" being a minute and a half of Sting trying to keep Jeff on his feet, while the latter was wasted off his rocker. TNA logic ...

TNA storylines have this weird effect on me. I heard Bobby Roode became the new #1 contender: (Reaction: YEAH!). Afterwards, Hogan announces his departure from TNA (reaction: "work!" ). Let's hope I'm dead wrong on this one, and Hogan indeed fucks off as far from pro wrestling possible.

Aaahhh, I fondly remember the days I would praise TNA programming and slam WWE programming. For a good portion of the year, WWE has been putting on consistently better shows.

That doesn't particularly include SmackDown! with Orton is champ again, for the umpteenth time. That's of course peanuts compared to the fact that Great Khali Singh is on tv every week, wrestling the same match (read: everyone trying to get something that resembles a match out of this Behemoth of Useless).

The icing on the cake though is the fact that Mark Henry is getting a heel push again. Moreover, they have Kane and Big Show sitting at home, selling "the injuries sustained" by Mark's attacks. I really wonder what kinda shrooms Ed Koskey and his team ingested, because it's been proven countless times in the past that Mark Henry pushes are usually stumped by his lack of skill in any aspect of the business.
His most popular gimmick is still "Sexual Chocolate" for fuck's sake.

Strangely, RAW has been the most entertaining as of late. Primarily thanks to CM Punk. This man has singlehandedly killed kayfabe and provided a lot of people with entertaining segments. He even made John Cena step up his promo game.

It was close to being a complete bomb though. Not through CM Punk's fault or anyone else involved then. It was the fifth person added to the "rivalry" after Punk, Cena, Triple H and Johnny Ace. The addition of Kevin Nash was pretty much unnecessary and proved that Nash can't hang anymore. He used to be more than decent on the mic a decade ago, but Punk pretty much blew him off his feet.

Luckily, Kevin "Bad Knees to the Bone" Nash didn't pass his physical testing and his proposed match with Punk was off the table. Instead, Triple H will face off against Punk in a No Holds Barred Match this coming Sunday. Punk wins and Triple H will have to give up his position as Chief Operating Officer. Triple H wins and Punk *might* get fired.

Trips better start jobbing now. He's got nothing to lose. Fact of the matter is that anyone can see Punk needs to capitalise on this to stay relevant in this issue.

Ah well, we'll see.
