Something to talk about....

At some point last week, I looked at my blog and realized that nearly every single post I’ve made has been WWE oriented. Of course, part of that has to do with the Benoit Tragedy, but that’s not all of it. The majority of the reasoning behind it is that TNA really hasn’t given me anything worth talking about.

I mean, I could go on with the stereotypical Internet Wrestling Nerd rants against Jarrett and co. Throw out a few “OMG Russo is teh sXu0rz!!!” or something about how they won’t last another six months. But that would be redundant, right? I’ll just be saying the same thing we’ve all been saying all along. I hate to just re-hash what has already been said.

Here’s the thing, though: I don’t really have much to say about TNA. Not because I don’t care, but because I DO care. I’ve watched TNA since the beginning. My college roommate and I ordered the first TNA Pay Per View at our apartment. Partly because I earned enough in tips delivering Pizza the Friday night before. I didn’t order every one, so I missed such classics as the infamous “Midget in a trash can” incident, but I did get to see some interesting attempts at establishing a company. I was introduced to Christopher Daniels, AJ Styles and Abyss. I re-discovered Ron “K-Krush” Killings, Low-Ki (who blew my mind in a match on a syndicated WWE show), and Jerry Lynn. I supported TNA in spite of cage dancers on the entrance, wrestling Johnsons, and so much more.

I really got excited for TNA when they gave Raven the title. I watched every week when they were on FSN. I taped a lot of it. It was really good, especially compared to today’s shows. Then TNA landed on Spike, and it hasn’t been the same since. There has been some things I’ve enjoyed: Samoa Joe’s run with the X Division belt, Abyss’ feud with Sabu, and Alex Shelley’s commentary on the Paparazzi Productions videos; but for everything I’ve really liked, there have been lots of things that have irritated me: Everything in the Main Event since Kurt Angle has arrived, Team 3D’s feud with the James Gang (Honestly, pretty much anything involving those two teams in TNA. Which is sad, because I do like both of those teams.), and the most annoying thing of all since TNA came to Spike, Sting’s feud with Abyss & James Mitchell.

So maybe I do have something to say about TNA. The problem is, though, is that everything I have to say about TNA involves the past. Their angles now are so hot-shotted that it’s hard to see where they’re going, and if they’ll ever get there. If they don’t, though, we’ve got plenty of memories to talk about.
