For those of you wondering how watching TNA in retrospect is any different to watching it when it airs, I point you to exhibits like "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Something terrible can flop at the time and live on as "I can't believe this happened" greatness. Broken Matt will be much funnier in retrospect as people go "Wow, I can't believe they tried this for as long as they did."
There are also some comparatively good moments in TNA's history that are uplifted by the shit they wade through today. They've never had it completely together, but 2005 featured that Three-Way match -- I don't even need to name the participants. The Knockouts created a legitimate stir among certain circles in whatever year they emerged. That doesn't mean TNA was "always good" after those points and didn't revolt viewers into not watching. People will be watching Hogan 2010 like it was Hogan 1999. |

If the library is bought by WWE, I wonder what narrative (if anything) they choose to tell about the downfall of the company. John Gaburick and Dixie Carter probably have something to do with the sale if it goes through, so I don't really see the WWE shaming them. Hogan has become "less dirty" on WWE TV and their working relationship with Eric Bischoff seems to be good. The biggest target left is probably Jeff Jarrett.

Big fuck up. Was in the middle of a "Wolf Creek"Cage match between Hardy's and Decay and it went to commercial. When it came back Cody Rhodes was entering the Impact Zone. Don't know who won the cage match.

Recent update to WWE buying TNA's tape library and confirming it was Gaburick who was sabotaging things for Corgan.

Wow I didn't expect that. Eddie Edwards is now the TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Not sure where they are going as Cody has a title shot and I'm sure Lashley will want his rematch. Good for Eddie I guess, he's the better of the Wolves but not sure if I buy him as TNA World Heavyweight Champion though.Still mad they cut away from the Wolf Creek cage match and didn't show the winner.

Yeah. It was a Wolf Creek cage match that was promoting a new pop show called Wolf Creek. I guess there is a movie to but never seen it. Anyway the cage had trash cans, chainsaws, grappling hooks, and other things hanging from it. Rosemary got involved and Reby went to get and the screen froze for a couple seconds and went to commercial. When it came back from commercial Cody and Brandi Rhodes are making their entrance. Never even said anything about the cage match.

It was terrible at the time of its release. It lives on outside itself as true camp. Just like TNA will once the library is bought from someone. I'm just forcing analogies to try and explain why TNA sucks now, but will be hilarious later.

Please don't let my lack of appreciation for Rocky Horror at the time of its release get in the way of us mocking things like the Wolf Creek Cage Match.

So ignoring Noid being the Mark Madden of TPWW, us MELTZER SHEEP heard Meltzer say what I really hope are actual plans about WWE Network.

Just when I think TNA is doing some alright stuff and Billy Corgan might have a mind for wrestling, they put the world title on Eddie Edwards. And apparently do it in the most clusterfuck of fashions. Sigh.

I like Eddie I just don't buy him as TNA World Heavyweight Champion. Wasn't a clusterfuck though. He beat Lashley in a one on on match with the Boston Knee Party( running knee to the head) which I thought was dumb. Good for Eddie but Lashley was a legit Heavyweight Champion.

Was there any build to this? Never a fan of giving away title changes on free tv. But was there at least a rise fit Edwards or was this some random out of nowhere hot shot title swap?

I will say, seeing Lashley with his headband and walking around like an arrogant shit bag suits him well. Wouldn't mind him getting another shot in wwe to beef up Smackdown.

Eddie lost the X Division title to Lashley before Lashley threw it and the King of the Mountain title down. Eddie lost twice in the Impact Grand Championship tournament after losing to Galloway and then replacing Galloway due to injury in the final and losing to Aron Rex. Lashley got to choose who would face him on Impact for the title between EC3, Moose, and Edwards. Chose Eddie because it was the easy win.

Also TNA has to have title changes on free TV as they only do 2PPVs a year now. They do over do it though as every title was defended this week right after a PPV. Have already given Cody Rhodes a title shot, Eli Drake has a title shot from the Bound for Gold match, and I'm sure Lashley will want a rematch.
