7 Worst Wrestling Moments Of The Week (March 12)

1. Josh And Jeremy Ruin TV Forever

Impact’s newest era started out bad. Hold it. "Bad" doesn't go fair enough. The night was pretty terrible actually. All people did on the show was take way too long talking about making Impact great instead of, you know, actually wrestling and giving us something that was great.

There were so many weird things that happened on the show (a GFW Title making an appearance, Bruce Prichard being the one to kill "TNA", Rockstar Spud suddenly becoming a ring announcer), but it was all overshadowed by how amazingly annoying Josh Matthews and Jeremy Borash were. It was perhaps the worst announcing I’ve ever heard. No joke. No hyperbole. They were worse than heel Michael Cole.

Soon after the show started, Borash came out to a nice pop. Having him on play-by-play was definitely an upgrade, but his initial promo on Matthews dragged badly. The two yelled at each other, and wouldn't let up the entire night. Their nonstop bickering undercut everything that happened on TV. Reno Scum and Rachael Ellering in particular should be incensed with the two, because their debuts were secondary to the announce team name-calling and threatening to fight each other. Most of the blame here belongs to Josh, but even J.B. couldn’t stop antagonizing his co-worker. Pope had to be the voice of reason, and was therefore the only tolerable one.

Whatever returning fans tuned in to give TNA another go (which, not many of them did), they were likely turned off by what they heard. This newest era is somehow starting off worse than the last one. Whatever money was saved by letting The Hardys and Galloway go should have gone to trying to sign Jim Ross. At least he knows how to be an adult...which might make him one of the few in the entire company.

Time to kick out.
