Trying to show some love

We don't try to hide the fact that this blog is a WWE-centric enterprise. Really, it's just easier that way, and the bottom line is we enjoy it more. However, we're trying our best, as evidenced by the formation of the LOL, Wresslin' Brand Outreach Program, and today we're going to take a look at TNA Wrestling, and try to get caught up with what's going on in the country's other promotion.

We'll get to the TNA website in a moment, but first let's just see what happened on last week's episode of TNA Impact!, their weekly show. We decided the best way was to just go to one of our frequented mark sites, and see what they had to say. Come to find out we had Jeff Jarrett hitting Earl Hebner, and Sting and Kurt Angle have been booked in a King of the Mountain qualifying match, whatever that may be.


We must have stumbled onto some WWE reruns. Let's see what's on tap for tonight. Hmmm, on the card is Scott Steiner, Booker T, and Team 3D. You're really not helping yourselves here.

Well, surely they must be doing something original. They DO have a fair amount of homegrown talent, so even though these throwbacks are having a couple matches, they can't possibly be their top talent, can they? Like, for instance, who's their heavyweight champion?

Damn it.

We'll give them credit for putting something called the "TNA Legends" belt on A.J. Styles, if that even means anything. And their X Division champ is a dude named Suicide, which is sounding oddly appropriate at the moment.

Now, on TNA's own website, they are promoting for next week a "big Three-Way Main Event" with Foley, Jarrett, Sting, Angle, Styles and Samoa Joe. They then have the gall to say "Who knows what hell will break loose!"

We're guessing "none."

Ok, ok, so maybe we're being a bit harsh in writing them off as a WWE has-been repository. They have the TNA Knockouts, for instance, some of the most beautiful and talented ladies in the business! Tonight, they're even debuting a brand new member to the roster, the lovely and lethal Tara!

Wait...a...minute....

Look, we'd love to give TNA credit for something, you understand. We do love their iPhone game. But they can't even seem to speak to their fans on their own website. Check out this ad that was on the front page:


Yes, because TNA and trigonometry go hand in hand.
