Impact wrestling is now on Pop TV, unfortunately not everyone who could watch Destination America has the new network. It happens. Different cable companies offer different channels. Currently, I do have Pop TV, but I dont have it in HD like I did Destination and Spike before that. No big deal, I can adjust. HOWEVER, the station I watch Pop TV on still has the old TV Guide scroll running throughout the ENTIRE program. This literally takes up 40% of the screen. I didn't even know that scroll was a thing anymore. I figured the internet and the DVR made that idea obsolete. At this point, I dont know what percent of the United States has to watch Impact this way, but the fact that anyone has to is insane! WWE at its worst, or WCW near its death didnt remind me every four minutes that House Hunters reruns are about to start. In the future Ill try not to focus too much on this, as Im assuming many dont have this problem. But damn TNA, this is the worst, least professional looking presentation Ive ever seen from a major company. Now if youll excuse me, TNAs new home is telling me that The Golden Girls are on in five minutes, I better change the channel. Time to kick out.

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.
