Another retarded thing TNA does, but no one ever talks about it.
Hey you ever noticed everyone in TNA is announced as coming from somewhere dumb? I mean you have the obvious ones like Black Reign coming from the darkest corners of his own mind, whatever that means. Judas Mesias and Rellik are both coming from the depths of hell. Shark Boy come from the deep blue sea. Abyss comes from part unknown. All of those are obvious, and a little corn ball. But then take a look at some of the normal wrestlers.
Robert Roode comes from Wall Street cause he is rich or whatever. No one lives on Wall Street, dumbasses. Then you have Kong coming from Japan, not any city, but all of Japan. Oh, and Eric Young is coming from an undisclosed location so they still can't fire him (or mail him his pay check for that matter). Discuss. I know there is more but I can't think of them off hand. |

This just proves TNA is a step backwards in wrestling. They're a bad mix of WWF in the early 90s and WCW at this point.

I'm pretty sure they will announce that Kong's manager hails from the Middle East.

TNA is eerily similar to cornball late 80's - early 90's WWF.

I actually don't mind them changing their announced location. Saying it for real doesn't really add anything unless they are in the hometown, but saying something else, even if it is stupid, puts over the gimmick.
Like the fans hear Robert Roode announced from being from Wall Street and go "WALL STREET?! I hate that place! Therefore, I hate him!", you hear him announced from "Petersborough, Ontario" and it would just be "... yeah, ok." |

Right now, he's "Originally from Austin, Texas- Now residing in Manhattan, New York" or something to the extent. I know they basically explain that he used to be a Texan and is now a jerk in his entrance. It's that thorough.

You know what bugged me at the Rumble? When he wiped his feet on the apron - signifying that the city is dirty and below him. So now he hates Texas, but if he's in NY OMG THEY SUCK!

Heels, you guys. That's what they do. He's not Canadian or any other "I hate this place but love this place" sort of gimmick relationship. Canadians love Canadians, New Yorkers don't love other New Yorkers, or the crime rate would be much lower. |

I don't mind it nearly as much as you seem to, BDC.
Shark Boy's is ridiculous, but where are they meant to hail him from? Atlantis? Abyss coming from Parts Unknown should probably change to wherever Jim Mitchell reveals he is from. Judas Mesias coming from the "depths of Hell" is not that bad. Corny, but I don't think anyone is meant to take it seriously. Rellik should be given a real location, though. As should Black Reign. Robert Roode should just come from some really rich section of Florida by way of wherever in Canada he's from. You can't rip on TNA for announcing Awesome Kong as being from Japan when the WWE does that with all their talent. Tajiri, Funaki, Kenzo Suzuki...I'm pretty sure they were/are all from "Japan." |

Ftr whiping your feet is a sign of respect to all those who came before you. The majority of wrestlers do it, some are very subtle about it. There are even some who do it before the show starts. Of course theres a lot of guys who dont do it at all. But its a pretty common thing.

I think the only reason that nobody mentions it is that it's pretty small compared to some of the more massive retardation of TNA. Though it surely is stupid, it's nothing compared to Stone Cold Sharkboy, the Rock and Rave shitbag, and Russo/Mantell period.

Look, Sharkboy is a piece of shit no matter how you cut it, might aswell rip off Austin. It is mildly amussing. Also you have to realize everything in TNA is a rip off of something. Shark Boy/Stone Cold. Jeff Jarrett/Ric Flair. Jay Lethal/Randy Savage. The whole Abyss Story/Undertaker, Kane, and Mankind.

I was under the impression that Eric Young started getting announced as being from "an undisclosed location" right after Team Canada broke up, and he didn't want to be associated with that, to better avoid being fired.

Not if you're about to STOMP A MUDHOLE AND WALK IT DRY!!, because then your boots get dirty anyways and the whole thing becomes moot.
