Billy Corgan and Vince Russo aren't one and the same right? When Vince was super secretly working with TNA last year, one of the telling signs was the Knockouts segments were suddenly revolving around the women tearing each others clothes off. The Beautiful People joined forces again, and instead of wanting to beat other women up, they wanted to rip off their dresses. While Vinnie Ru is apparently long gone, and Corgan has joined the team as one of their writers, the nonsense remains the same. This week on Impact, Taryn Terrell challenged Awesome Kong to a match, but not just any match: the classic Lingerie Pillow Fight match. I believe this is the stipulation that George Hackenschmidt and Frank Gotch made famous in the early 20th century, selling out arenas across the country. However, this week Kong refused to put on the lingerie that The Dollhouse bought for her, so the match never went down. Youre not wearing your lingerie, youre ruining playtime! Terrell informed Kong. Is this what weve come to? Now, heres where things get even dumber. Terrell was willing to wrestle in her bra and panties with Kong, but she still acted embarrassed and humiliated when Brooke stripped her of her robe. Did she also forget that a couple weeks ago she willingly disrobed herself in front of the audience revealing the special underwear she was going to wear to seduce Robert Irvine? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPl17L5ZLrY Usually this sort of nonsense doesnt rank that high here, but with TNA potentially canceled in three months, murdering Mickie James and promoting lingerie pillow fights could be some of our last memories of the company. Depressing, but perhaps fitting. 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.
