OFFICIAL RACIST


I do not care about anyone in this picture.

-----

TNA can't keep their storylines straight. So lets just sum up what happened on the last episode.

- Austin Aries is a big doofus and decided to cash in on the X-Division title instead of the World Title. Why? Because TNA, thats why.

- He lost, btw. This makes Austin Aries quite possibly one of the dumbest men in wrestling right now.

- EC3 and Spud are going to break up. RIP. :(

- MORE CHRIS MELENDEZ STUFF. I'm sure in a few weeks, TNA will release him, and they'll get a bunch of bad PR again.

- Wolves/3D/Hardys promo. I actually like how this feud sounds on paper.

- THE STORM FAMILY. Totally not a ripoff of the Wyatt Family. No sir.

- Manik defeated Shark Boy. Who is chubby now.

- MVP defeated Ken Anderson with Chris at ringside. No one cared.

- Roode came out and then asked for a rematch with Big Bobby. Lashley may have accepted but MVP said no and he's totally the boss still.

- Havok, a terrible wrestler, beat Gail Kim for the TNA title.

-----

That is all of TNA's feuds for this month, so have a picture of their latest arena instead:

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
So for the new thread. The Death of WCW has been changed so the dedication is not to Hunter and Steph, but rather Bob and Dixie. And basically ends with 15 pages of listing the stupid poo poo TNA has done (I.E. not learned from the death of WCW)

I highly recommend people get the book.

Who do you think will be the final Wolrd Champion in TNA? By money is on Jinder Mahal winning the title in his very first TNA match on the final show.

In a complete surprise the third coming of Big Bobby Lashley will take the title via run-in in the final match of the night. He will end the show by calling the entire audience a bunch of bath turds.

Always viewed her as wildly inconsistent. She does have the capacity to be really bad at times.

Emergency confection port.

The Observer says TNA and Jeff Jarrett are both in talks to try to get a weekly show with the few networks that will do wrestling, so TNA booting Spike off would theoretically make it harder for Jeff Jarrett to get a GFW TV show.

I'm actually mega excited for Havok to have the Knockouts Title. She's loving terrifying looking, first off. I like what I've seen of her in-ring, so far in TNA, and what I've looked up on the indies. She's also not booked as being hella sexy, which is really loving refreshing.

She drops it almost immediately to Taryn Terrel.

I've never seen a bad Havok match where Havok was at all to blame. She fought Alpha Female at WSU in a nice brawl, so she can wrestle people her size too. I'm actually eager to see her match from SHIMMER with Madison Eagles, who is a 6'1" German suplex technician from Australia.

If you want "wildly inconsistent," I would recommend watching some Christina Von Eerie. If CVE's in a match that starts getting out of sync, she shuts down and the match goes off the loving rails. I don't know what goes through that woman's head.

Thing is, TNA have some of the worst agents that I've ever seen. Someone can be good but still be made to look average if the agents can't put a decent match together.

TNA has no one for her to work with outside of Gail, and Gail is on the shelf. Havok is facing Velvet drat Sky at BFG.

This is your reminder that AJ Styles vs. a nobody in the middle of bumfuck nowhere managed to draw larger crowds than TNA could despite having AJ + people fans have actually heard of + a national television program that, for all we laugh at how awful it has been, averages about a million viewers a week.

This is your reminder that Hoodslam, which I'm still not entirely convinced is actually real, draws significantly larger crowds than TNA.

CVE had a match with upcoming standout Leva Bates and they took a bad spill to the outside. Match immediately fell apart and they settled on a halfass finish. Leva looked insanely pissed. This was back on a SHINE iPPV.

Same deal with Havok, give her an opponent that can work and not ticklebutt in the ring and you get a great match. The problem with TNA is their roster is skeleton thin and especially hurting for women talent.

I am pretty steadfast in my opinion of Havok's work. She is lot like her other half Solomon Crowe. Without overstating it she can have the best and worst match on two separate shows. I dislike defining her or any woman by whom she is seeing but it is true.

Also Scott D'More agented the Gail Kim and Awesome Kong series and wasn't involved here.

I don't care if you change your mind, I just don't want people that are just learning about Havok to give any special weight to your opinion. You're very much in the minority.

Speaking of Leva Bates, I think the best match I've ever seen from her was against Havok in SHIMMER. Leva really benefits from having a good catcher. If you want to see someone hit a sweet La Mistica while cosplaying as Solid Snake, I'd check it out.

I like Havok personally. I hope for her own sake she can make a decent living in Wrestling. Rarely her Indie ring work surpassed her pre-match presentation in my opinion. People can make their own minds up.
