WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (Feb 19)

1. Party Time Sucks

Maybe Impact should just air reruns until Jeff Jarrett, Scott D'Amore and Dutch Mantell come back to power, because otherwise the hole they're going to have dig out of is only going to keep getting bigger.

I usually don’t award TNA the worst of the worst here. That's partly because in the United States they’ve watched by about 1/10th as many people in WWE (at their very peak that number was closer to 1/3rd). Maybe that’s not right, but I feel it’s best to go out on a note that most readers are aware of. However, Thursday's show can’t be overlooked. It was 98% garbage, and it contained two of the worst segments ever aired on Impact.

All night we went back and forth between a bachelor part for Braxton Sutter and a bachelorette party with Laurel Van Ness. During the entire last week of Impact, Sutter couldn't find it in himself to call his fiance and reveal that he wasn't actually trying to propose to her when he dropped that water bottle. Doesn't that kind of make him an awful person for leading her on? There's no good way for him to come out of this looking stronger.

The segments just keep going and going, and were filled with lazy humor and horrendous overacting. They also sounded and looked terrible. Was there no boom pole to borrow for the afternoon in all of Universal Studios? Has anyone on the production team ever used a lighting kit?

I’s a shame these segments aired on the same episode as the excellent closing moments involving Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards. A lot of really talented people are being let down by the people who write the show. In a way, it’s kind of sad that Impact is about to go back to their creative time from 11 years ago, but if they want to have any sort of future, it seems they may have to.

Time to kick out.
