WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (April 26)
6. You Had A WEEK TNA!
Is anyone a little freaked out by these two? Josh Matthews asked on Impact while referring to the debut of Marti Bell and Jade. He was met with silence. You see, that would have been the point where someone, preferably the man or woman sitting right next to him would comment on the question. Taz may have left the company last week, but they didnt take the time to find anyone to replace him this week. Seems a bit lazy on their part. Also, for the second week in a row, TNA failed to address the situation of why we no longer hear the voice of a man that wed heard for the past five years on a weekly basis. When an announcer in WWE cant make Raw for any reason, theyre replaced and were given an explanation. Heck, when Jerry Lawler quit WWE in 2001, Paul Heyman told us exactly what went down. Seems like a nice thing to inform viewers about. TNA has plenty of people who should be able to show up and talk for two hours. Al Snow has done commentary work before (and reportedly is trying out for the color role), Tommy Dreamer shows up now and then, he could have easily filled in, or maybe have Shark Boy do his Stone Cold impression for two hours. Better yet, how about Dixie Carters mom Janice? She could take over for a night, put over all the angles, and let us know why the talent isn't being paid on time!
As Rust Cohle from True Detective said "Life's barely long enough to get good at one thing. So be careful what you're good at."
Sadly, I can't solve a murder like Rust...or change a tire, or even tie a tie. But I do know all the lyrics to Hulk Hogan's "Real American" theme song and can easily name every Natural Born Thriller from the dying days of WCW. I was once ranked 21st in the United States in Tetris...on the Playstation 3 version...for about a week.
