I’ll start off by saying that this card holds very little excitement for me. I’ll counter what I just said by expressing my optimism in TNA for the potential to give us an action packed pay per view. Lightning and I are once again joined by Jace Ace and KP. Thanks for sharing your thoughts guys! Here we go! BFG Series semi-final Samoa Joe vs. Jeff Hardy JA: So the ending of the match on iMPACT left me going, “WTF?” Since when is a… [Continue Reading]

Plenty of fans make a big stink about pro wrestling being too predictable. The smarks like to think, because they guess or predict a storyline they’re somehow in the know. The simple fact is, there’s nothing at all wrong with predictability in pro wrestling provided it’s executed properly. Far too often, folks go out of their way to criticize storylines simply because they’re formulaic. What they fail to realize is that pro wrestling has been giving fans, with great success, the same story for… [Continue Reading]

Chavo Guerrero and Hernandez defeated Gunner and Kid Kash. ^Filler material. TNA wants to push Chavo as a legend, but aside from competing all over the world, the man has never really accomplished anything spectacular or stood out in any capacity. Let’s be honest, Eddie carried him when they were Los Guerreros. Using a family name to keep popularity is sad; at least Vickie has become a unique character over time. Rob Van Dam defeated Mr. Anderson and Magnus in a falls count anywhere… [Continue Reading]

Original article found at: IllegalForeignObject.com I’m still recovering. Sleep was an impossibility, my throat is torn to shreds, and I’m still having a hard time getting my head around everything I saw. I know this: It was an honor and a privilege to have been a part of the live viewing public for TNA’s 10th anniversary show, Slammiversary.

She tore all the way through the back, through the parking lot, and into the truck where she cursed out her director and his staff. We then go out to the… [Continue Reading]

Original post found at: www.IllegalForeignObject.com: If you follow my Twitter feed at all, it likely hasn’t taken you long to realize I’m a pretty big fan of Elijah Burke, aka The Pope, D’Angelo Dinero. His departure from the WWE, after what I considered a massive waste of talent on the part of the organization, drove me crazy. As such, I was thrilled when he debuted for TNA in 2009, figuring they’d seen how not to use him, and would not make the same mistakes…. [Continue Reading]
