LOLTNA History

[SilverGhost]

"TNA signs Adam "Pacman" Jones, a disgraced football player who -- despite his off-field shenanigans -- is still under contract with the Tennessee Titans at the time. The Titans get a court order forbidding Jones to become physically involved in any wrestling match. TNA pairs Jones off with Ron Killings (WWE's R-Truth), then has the pair defeat Sting and Kurt Angle for the TNA Tag Team Championships. Yes, you read that right: a man not allowed to wrestle in any way won a wrestling championship."

Wooooooow xD

Who can forget that? Major thing that guy has done is distract the ref with money.

Wow!, what a great read that was. Some really good stuff in there. Thanks SG/Necro for this!

My favorite line of the whole thing:

At a set of tapings in August 2011, they set up an angle where Sting would face Ric Flair in a match. The stipulation was that if Flair beat Sting, the loser would have to retire -- but if Sting defeats Flair, the pathway would open for Sting vs Hogan II (which he wanted to have at Bound for Glory 2011, which takes place in Philadelphia -- the stomping grounds of the ECW Mutants). The segment was so bad that it pissed off half the "cast members", who vacated the Impact Zone after it was over. (Philly is going to have a field day with that match, by the way.)

Yes, yes we are.

Seriously, I don't think TNA brass realize how poorly that's gonna go over in Philly.

"On a Wednesday afternoon, Eric Bischoff tweets that people should stop criticizing him and Hulk Hogan, that the changes they have made to TNA don't truly affect the on-screen product, and that only 10% of the audience is made up of people who complain about it on the internet. He goes on to say that the true story can be seen by the ratings -- "the numbers don't lie" -- and to prove his point, that Thursday's editiion of Impact Wrestling does a 1.01, the lowest rating of the year (to date)."

Especially since it may be the main event over a good match like Crimson-Angle.
