DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
Josh Matthews is under psychological strain. On the one hand, he sucks as a commentator and if let go by TNA, his career is pretty much over in that regard. On the other hand, if he doesn't get fired, he has to still do commentary for TNA impact. There is no winning.

In terms of one single match that is by far the worst

There should be a Hall of Fame of burials with that, Booker/HHH, the Hulkamania/Dungeon of Doom cage match at Uncensored, and other all-timer in-ring burials.

Josh Mathews is the type of kid you always knew badly needed the poo poo beaten out of him.

It showed us all the true power of Jeff Jarrett's stroke

Annoyed the be-jeezus out of me because Rhyno and Raven as champions piqued my interest enough to seek it out but I learned from WCW that Jeff Jarrett as champion isn't compelling TV

The cool thing is Raven wasn't the NWA champion in that match so he means other matches! I assume the joke is that we have no idea which but he might have one in mind and I just can't tell because that describes so many.

I distinctly remember it even after all this time. It was early on, Jarrett was the champ and they were trying to establish him as a HHH/Cena/Reigns-type face overcoming the odds to Herculean extents, and Raven was trying to fulfill his destiny while also being in a stable and I think Russo was there?

I don't share the hatred for that match though because the time Raven finally became champ in a KOTM match, and then lost the belt on a house show with no build to Jarrett a month later so Jeff could hold the belt for the Spike TV debut, pissed me off far far far more than that ever could have

The best part was Edge and Jericho both telling Cena that was a dumb finish, and he did it anyway.

HHH/Sheamus at Wrestlemania was dumb as gently caress, as well as Cena/Wyatt. Wouldn't want to get new people over or anything.

John Cena Vs The Miz and Alex Riley ( I had to pause to remember his name) in an I quit match was a good burial. Just John Cena not giving a poo poo and beating two men with ease.

The second best part is Cena coming to Edge and Jericho after the match going "poo poo, you guys were right!"

Like 2007 to 2011 or so, seems like the Fed had so many things that caught that they went out of their way to gently caress up. They had something with Nexus, and managed to gently caress it all up.

Luckily it had been hosed up months before and Cena no selling a DDT and winning a match had nothing to do with it.

It had never made a ratings difference and that show underperformed on PPV. The feud only really meant anything business wise when it became Cena vs Barrett.

King of the Mountain made sense in a oh god I drank all these energy drinks and I can sound now kind of way.

Reverse Battle Royal was just stupid and no one knew how to work it.

Although that was for the other reverse battle royal match. Why the gently caress did TNA do more than one, were they are the same PPV?
