WWE And TNA: 7 Worst Moments Of The Week (June 21)
5. TNA Late Again
Youve just got to feel for the men and women in TNA. The stability of their employment has always been in jeopardy. Sure, the company has survived since 2002, but never thrived. They went months of not being on TV after their Fox Sports deal ended, theyve moved timeslots countless times, had their show cancelled, landed on a new network and are now perhaps cancelled again. In a sad state of affair, according to Prowrestling.net the company is behind on pay again, just a couple of weeks after Dixie Carter assured the talent that it wouldnt happen again. The vast majority of the roster are composed of talent who are probably not making six figures a year. Despite the fact theyre on TV, theyre not rich and need money to survive, just like everyone else. As sad as WCW was to watch during their final year in business, at least their talent could say they were getting paid on time for their efforts.
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.
