See, to me, TNA is my source for unintentional comedy gold with a good match every now and then. It's more than I can say about the E', as I gave up watching that shit around the time the PG era really started reeling it's ugly head with their goddamned guest stars and children's variety show antics.

While I do get some great lulz from TNA, I also get really, really frustrated with their schizophrenic booking and longtime refusal to push those that actually deserve a push. This Crimzon guy they're pushing looks like an inbred with a slighty burned-off hairdo, and his ring skillz are lackluster at best. The other dipshit that they're pushing to the moon (Gunner) is about as exciting as a warm bowl of oatmeal. Meanwhile, the pope, Styles, EY, etc. are stuck with go-nowhere angles, and little TV time. Let's not forget the hundreds and hundreds of angles that they built heavily or slightly that ended up going absolutely fucking nowhere.

I mean, they set up that entire Bound For Glory series to prop up Roode, then take the title away at the last second because Hogan didn't think he was ready. Now, even if it is, as Hogan would say, "a worked shoot, brother", it still seems like an unecessary way to build a Roode/Storm feud. Not to mention how that particular dick-move really proved how much they're taking their fans for granted.

TNA has all the power in the world to be THE product that WWE refuses to be, which is a fed with a lockeroom full of talent and the go-ahead to go out there and actually give it their all for the sake of a good match, but they let clueless idiots like Dixie Carter run the place and enable the russos and hogans to book it into the goddamn ground. I still watch Impact every week, but the frustrations are starting to outweigh the lulz and the occasional good match. I'll stop now.
