It’s still TNA iMPACT! to me, folks. This will be the only TNA review from 2011 that I will do, so don’t get excited, you one TNA fan there. Unless they do Sting v. Flair XXXVII! That will be the one to finally settle the score!

Now you’re probably asking yourself, “Matt, why are you doing this to yourself? You should maybe talk with my therapist. He’s really good.” Well, as a long-time fan of the Stinger and the NATCHA BOY, I thought I would recap this show just for the sake of me feeling a little complete in seeing nearly every televised match they have had with each other over the past 20-something years, which leads me to another recap coming soon of the COMPLETE Sting v. Flair collection. It’s just the one-on-one stuff, people. Let’s be realistic. But you read that correctly. It is coming soon. And I’m not doing it because their matches are really any different from each other, but just because I’m such a mark for those guys. Apparently, so are the people in TNA because this match – if we are all honest with ourselves – should not be happening on cable TV in 2011.

Your hosts are a 57 year-old wrestling nerd and his wingman: the brown gnome who wears extremely dark sunglasses indoors as if IMPACT WRESTLING’s pyro included atomic bomb testing. Read the rest of this entry

Oh my gosh! Mankind threw a fire ball in the Undertaker’s face! Oh wait, that happened last week. The Raw theme song changes again. It’s less “Beautiful People” and more “Thorn In Your Eye”. Also, the ring ropes are no longer American colors (red and black for now) and the ring apron has changed with the rest of the classic Raw is War set.

HOUR NUMBER ONE! Your hosts are Vince McMahon, Jim Ross, and the Honky Tonk Man. HTM has the gee-tar with him in a plastic bag that Jesse James smashed last week. Read the rest of this entry
