The gift that keeps on giving

It seems our review of the TNA iPhone application has made the Internet all aflutter with excitement lately. We must have been the first people to actually review the thing, because the developers of the game soon emailed us. But who could have known that our review would spawn even more?

PWinsider.com is one of, if not the, preeminent professional wrestling news sites on the web. In addition to having knowledgeable writers who write with a journalistic flair, they also get the most scoops, offer the most content, and do it all without the overall snarkiness that persists all over the Internet (they also do it without posting phony rumor links and exclusive nude Diva photos.) So imagine our glee when we saw they posted their own TNA iPhone app review. Here's a sample:

Wow, that looks familiar. Almost as if....

Click to enlarge, but you probably got the drift now.

Yea. Exactly. You can see all the proof here, but don't click it and give these crooks even more ad revenue.


Now, in fairness, they do say that "The kind folks from the Wrestling LOL blog sent along.." so they aren't claiming ownership of this review. But who are these "kind folks from the Wrestling LOL blog"? We can't find it anywhere! Even with the finest research tools at our disposal!

The only reasonable solution is some super fans stole our content, submitted it as their own, and then immediately deleted their "blog" to cover their tracks. We hoped to one day inspire good, but it seems we've only inspired madness.

But you know (tm), we don't want there to be any hard feelings between us, Wrestling LOL. We know you're just pathetic, little schemers trying to control your little worlds. So when we tell you that exposing you is nothing personal...

Like we didn't telegraph that one a mile away
