Dixie's probably gone, the Hardys are still the best, Smashing Pumpkins is now in charge, they actually didn't lose a TV deal this summer for the first time since 2013, and nothing else matters

Except for this

Only in America could you find a way to earn a healthy buck and still keep your attitude on self destruct
Just when I didn't think pro wrestling couldn't get more bizarre, I find out that Billy Corgan is now running TNA (and is also apparently an Alex Jones/InfoWars fan)

Sisyphus and his drat rock have nothing on the absurd compared to pro wrestling

He said Spike was kicking TNA out, the fans laughed and said "as if", and then they kicked TNA out

Then he said DA was done with them too, the fans laughed and said "yeah right" and then they were done with TNA too

Instead of thinking there was a problem with TNA, the fans said the problem was clearly Dave Meltzer who has it in for them and keeps spreading lies like them being kicked off TV (true) and them being late on pay (true) and them being nearly bought by Nazis (true)

I think it makes him look less special to come in saying the same thing everyone else has said. I thought Sandow was going to be able to take a unique spin on his bitter WWE promo but it sounded pretty similar to the rest of them. I want Cody to look like a star coming in and I believe they can do it without making it about WWE

I'm way more excited for Delete or Decay than any current storyline in WWE

For the first time maybe ever, TNA actually has a unique identity, even if that identity is wacky "the room" soap opera stuff.

An argument can be made that this is the way to go in Pro Wrestling, and for TNA.

WWE works hard to be shiny, and corporate, and we all know Vince's hard on for mainstream media attention/recognition. Why try to compete with that? They are bigger, richer, and far more entrenched than you are.

Pro Wrestling, in my opinion, is not shiny or corporate. Nor does it, in my experience, get any sort of respect from "the mainstream". So why not run with this?

The Brothers Hardy backyard insane soap opera is something different, and it is also something very identifiably Pro Wrestling, (cheesey, carny, insane and somethying you would be embarrassed to be caught watching if an elderly dowager walks in the room.) Whilst it will never make WWE money, it does differentiate itself from them, and carve itself a niche. And with a niche comes a following.

It'll be interesting to see if this insanity/cheese can sustain itself, or if it will get lame over time. But for now, it is what it is, andso long as that involves Matt Hardy saying things sillily and being whackily insane, I for one am entertained.

TNA has long suffered from trying to be like WWE, but not. If they can forge any kind of identity outside of that it'll be for the better.

I mean there's still the whole "no apparent means of making money" problem but one bridge at a time, folks.
