I see some of you idiots are taking the "not only are you going to eat this shit we're force feeding you, but you're going to like it" approach. Brovo!

It's time for me to take a break from this shit.

Made this late last night out of boredom. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv5NdxtfYlE

I'll trade you my WWE Network BDP app for your Dailymotion BDP app.

What's with all the bad haircuts in TNA since June? They need to start reading Yelp reviews before just going into any rinky dink barber shop in NYC.

Nobody went balls to the wall with house shows like ECW did.

Spear selling level: Kazarian

Once again, I took my mid Raw nap after that cringeworthy "Roman Reigns And The Beanstalk" promo. Then I woke up to find a TNA commercial. I wasn't sure if I was really awake or still dreaming, but the 2nd commercial confirmed it. Other than that I found the rest of the show to be decent. I'm so glad they continue to make Rollins look strong. Also, that Savage HOF video package was glorious!

Knowing WWE they would go the complete opposite direction with what TNA is doing with the EC3 character by having him wrestle often and rarely talk. When they did allow him to speak it would be word for word from a script. The guy deserves a pay raise that's for sure, but is killing his character really worth it?

SHOCKER! The ratings being reported by the sheets and whathaveyou are not correct. Destination America will be releasing the actual numbers in a press release soon. Here's what Dixie had to say in an interview about both of these: On Impact Wrestling moving to Friday nights: “I think I’ll tell you in a few months if I like being on Friday nights. They presented us with a lot of research and felt very strongly about Friday nights being a potential for them. +3’s is how people look at ratings nowadays, it’s not overnight ratings. With your +3 numbers, you have a much bigger chance for your +3 number over a weekend versus only, like if we were staying on Wednesday, that would be Thursday, Friday and you would have part of Saturday. It’s just an overall strategy. They feel really strongly about it. Wrestling has been successful on Friday nights and is no longer there and so we’ll see how we’ll do.” On TNA doing live television: “I think that where we want to go from a production and a feel standpoint from the show does not work going live. It does not allow us to do the kind of things that we’re going to want to do because there’s just a lot of post-production time involved in it. So, we’ll have to see. We can always go live and it can be a show like it will be this Wednesday and it’s going to great action and lots of surprises and just be an amazing show that you’re not going to want to miss but I think where we’re going to try to take the show is definitely going to take post-production time and we’re not going to be able to pull off all the bells and whistles we want if we try to go live.”

Yeah, you're right. After doing some research the premier drew 263k viewers with the encore drawing 105k viewers and the network combined it.

Well those are definitely better numbers than I was expecting. Let's see what kind of viewership they're able to maintain. For the longest time they were pulling between 900k to 1.2m on Spike, so it's certainly a step down from those numbers. The only sliver lining in this is that it's Destination America's most watched show, so if they keep that up there shouldn't be any concern over them going under any time soon as long as Panda keeps funding them. Also, keep in mind that they completely lost their Canadian viewership. I heard they're working on getting them a TV deal, but damn in the last year Canadian wrestling fans have really gotten the shaft. Then for the us in the States we either don't get this channel or have to upgrade their cable/satellite tier to get it. I had to do the latter, but I always wanted to do so anyway because Dish's Top 250 has Boomerang. I just could never justify paying an extra $10 a month just for Boomerang. Turns out I also get Encore and their on demand selection is pretty decent for my taste. So I don't regret upgrading. And no, I'm not making up excuses. These numbers are laughable compared to WWE, but even their numbers are laughable compared to what they use to draw. *Edit: Your numbers are off by 100k. So turns out that's around what I was expecting them to draw on this network.

Now that the guy who shall not be named is banned, yes you are. On the record I do indeed have a Twitter account.

Part 2: ...and finally the winner and undisputed champion:

I woke up this morning and found these all over my Twitter feed. Part 1:

I'm what Greggulator is to WWE with TNA on this board am I?

It was live to tape which means there was no time to go back and fix this. Keep in mind that this production team hasn't produced a show like this since June of last year.

I thought the show was good. Not great, but it did have some great and memorable moments. I didn't get embarassed to be a wrestling fan or fall asleep so that's a plus. Here's some random thoughts: Josh Mathews is definitely a well needed breath of fresh air over Tenay. I love, love, loved the first segment. It wasn't over produced like Lucha Underground (not saying that's a bad thing), but i found it to be great nonetheless. Awesome Kong of all people returned. I honestly never thought I'd see her on TV wrestling again. I'm excited to see where the KO division goes from here. Roode/Lashley 3 wasn't up to par with their other 2 pairings mainly because I knew a fucked finish was coming. However, people that are completely pissed off about it seem to forget that TNA really hasn't done no where near as many fucked main event finishes as they use to and WWE currently continues to do nearly every show since forever. I didn't see the reveal swerve of the two masked men coming, but I did see EY's turn coming once he hit the ring. At first I was only okay with Joe and Ki turning, but once I had some time to digest it I've concluded that EY's turn isn't as bad as I initially thought. They wanted to hit the reset button and they did just that. These turns will shuffle things up a bit and I'm fine with that. There really hasn't been many, if any, major turns in TNA since the MVP/Lashley/King one. So the whole "LOLTNA" bullshit isn't really justified here. They REALLY need to stop running their tapings on weeknights. Last night's and tonight's tapings had/have way too many unsold seats. While Friday is damn near sold out. I understand that Friday they're doing Lockdown, but this also seemed to be a trend with the other North East tapings from last year. They probably have a hard time securing weekend dates. Thus making this kind of stuff unavoidable, but still, they need to figure this shit out. With that being said, I understand that they darked up the arena to hide the emptiness, but I liked it. It had the feel of an old NWA show to me. Plus it's better than showing off a bored to death crowd. At least the fans were loud here.

I'm not sure what's worse; Raw last night or the people on WWE's Facebook thinking Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan actually got fired. Also, I suffer from insomnia, but Raw last night ended up being a temporary cure. No, seriously, I'm not even slighty joking here. Before last night I couldn't even remember the last time I got a solid 8 hours. Probably the last time I tried to watch an episode of Smackdown.

I'm currently watching the New Year Dash live stream and just noticed that I'm not even logged in. This has to be some kind of glitch, right?

Hail to the king.

This can already be done just load it up on a browser and find continue watching under the account tab.

You're just now figuring that out?

I'll just leave this here...
