WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (August 8)
6. Gail Cleans House
TNA has copied WWE most of their existence, over a lot of good and bad things. One of the bad things they should not be copying is handicap matches where the babyface somehow overcomes the odds. Every. Single. Time. It devalues the losers, and makes their future matches feel worthless. If two or more competitors cant beat one, then why are they even employed? Well, if you look at the roster page at Impact Wrestlings website, there are 10 active Knockouts. One woman just beat three of them by herself. That's a healthy 30%! Whatever momentum The Dollhouse had seems to be gone, along with the Knockouts Division in general. At one point TNA easily had a better womens division than WWE, but with the recent NXT call-ups, Havok and Mickie James leaving, and Awesome Kong unable to capture her former magic, its no longer even close. Marti Bell and Jade briefly breathed some new life back into the company, now theyve been defined as mid-card and forgettable. Unfortunately time may be running out soon to change things around, and this may be one of TNAs last failures.
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.
