Me too, man.
Seriously though, this is horseshit. I'm glad you guys are having fun, but this is not the way to take wrestling.
I have tried to understand the "so bad it's good" reasoning, but it makes it all look faker than it needs to. I know I sound like a Cornette fanboy every time I say that (and I am), but it's fucking true. That trailer for the first thing they did was so fucking bad.
I didn't watch the first backyard match they did, but I caught bits of the second. It was badly filmed, too chaotic to follow, nonsense and the "so bad it's good" thing is pushed too hard. It's trying to be bad, and that gives it away. Not true camp.
But they clearly don't understand the concept of "too much of a good thing" either. Or is that "too much of a bad-good thing?" Or just "too much of a thing?" They're doing an ENTIRE episode of this? Remember when the nWo took over Nitro? Remember when everybody was in the nWo and it didn't matter anymore?
Jokes aren't funny if you keep repeating them. A few people have gotten giddy over this stuff because it's "different." Different doesn't always mean good, mind you. But when it stops being different and becomes the norm, are you really going to be able to invest in all this?
The Hardys are taking TNA for a ride. I bet you
they get paid on time. They get to do all the drugs they want, work the schedule they want, and do the goofy backyard shit that people in the WWE back in the day were smart enough to say "Dude, that's fucking stupid." They were signed to the largest company in the world when they were basically teenagers, and in their crossovers with reality, time and again Matt Hardy proves that he might not be the most mature individual on the planet. Jeff for that matter either.
I feel guilty enabling their destructive tendencies. If they're not doing damage to their health, they're certainly doing damage to the viability of the product around them. I can't believe no one in that entire company has said to them "No. That is fucking stupid. You know how to make money -- you be a fucking Hardy boy."
The good thing is that it won't affect Jeff Hardy's long-term drawing ability because nobody watches TNA and the casual fan probably thinks that he's been inactive ever since CM Punk exiled him in 2009.
