Just some thoughts on TNA after watching the worst wrestling show i've ever seen...


Alright i'm from the uk so we are only at the point where TNA were at the start of the year.But I have been impressed with some shows up until now, last night I just watched one of the worst wrestling shows in history, IMO.

It was when AJ styles won the tag titles in a 2 on 1 handicap match against red shirt security while Abyss was suppossed to be his partner, but never showed up(shocking!*cough*)..reason i point this match out is because it was the only enjoyable match of the evening and only one worth taking note of.

Speaking of Abyss, may i just say this guy is a complete rip off of Kane. What's worse is he botches every fucking move he does and I practically feel asleep during his 1 on 1 match with that other guy in a mask, where if that guy lost he would have to take off the mask and reveal who he is, but Abyss lost i think cos he didn't get the mask taken off.(I didn't even see the ending, the match was to boring to watch, even the crowd chanted boring a few times). But yeah anyway, Abyss just plainly fucking sucks. I've noticed people on this forum like him but this is just my opinion. Complete rip off of Kane if you ask me.

Also another problem is that some guy called Doug Kellis(is that his name?I don't know his name cos i never really cared about who he is) is fucking up the show and I'm amazed they managed to get through this shite storyline of him controlling the company. It's like he might aswell just come out and do what the fuck he wants. Great storyline eh!

But one person i have been impressed with has been Mike Tenay, this commentator is much better than the Raw+Smackdown commentary team combined, he could do this show on his own. He seems to show more passion for the show than anybody else.

Also the fact that the show is being built around Jarrett really damages the company i feel.Even though they have got a TV deal now, if he is stillc arrying on like this in future that deal won't last very long.Atleast in WWE, they're building the company around someone who does have passion for the business (Triple H) but someone like Jarrett has NOTHING.And after seeing one of the worst matches of my life with him being involved,(it was against Goldust, but the actual guy who plays Goldust, he didn't play that gimmick at all) that's only shown my opinion of him to be even more true.

And finally, is there any meaningful titles in TNA? Every title change seems to have some interference. Every title match seems to have some interference, now i know that's probably because of storyline reasons, but for once have the title change hands cleanly! I don't think i've seen one TNA title match without interference yet.


Anyway i know I'm commenting on a show that was on in january, but after watching that show it has amazed me that TNA has got this far.So they must've done something right,.. thoughts?
