Let me see if I got all of this straight...- Samoa Joe doing yet another the job in a World Heavyweight title match?
- A swerve involving Kurt Angle's wife in the main event that everybody could see coming from the start of this ill conceived angle (because obviously Joe vs. Angle needs some sort of failed marriage plot to ratchet up the buy rate)?
- Karen Angle receiving more camera time in the past month than about 90% of the actual wrestlers on the roster!
- Ditto for societal nuisance and eventual (just give him some more time on the "outside," people) convicted felon Adam Pac-Man Jones!?
- Abyss as the new #1 contender...again?
- The perpetual jobbing out of most charismatic and arguably freshest tag team on their roster, Chris Sabin & Alex Shelley!?
- Having your fresh, popular, credible babyface (Chris Harris) get destroyed by a washed up Dustin Rhodes?
- Extending the completely played out Robert Roode vs. Eric Young feud for yet another month?
- Alleged upper-mid-card player Rhino loses on PPV for about the fifteenth time in a row!
- A battle between the two most broken down, out of shape, shell of their former selves teams in professional wrestling, The Steiner Brothers and Team 3D!
- Kip James and BG James, who never had any reputation for innovation let alone any discernible talent to begin with, still on the payroll!?
- The signing of yet another WWE retread, Andrew "Test" Martin (at least Martin's new nickname -- "The Punisher"-- is apropos for having to endure his escapades)?
- Convoluted gimmick matches as a rule, not an exception?
- Don West's monster truck aficionado haircut and seemingly endless supply of poorly stitched, loudly shaded, reflective silk dress shirts!
Fuck TNA.
Regrettably, TNA leaves Arabian Facebuster no other recourse but to open up a second front in our war on near sighted, pointless nonsensical, purely whimsical, and/or utterly counterproductive professional wrestling booking.
That's right, Arabian Facebuster declares war on Total Nonstop Action Wrestling.
No retreat and no surrender.

Fuck! Who are we gonna follow now? I suppose there's always the Western Wrestling Association...
TNA is legitimately terrible at this point. In a way, their mediocrity is far more infuriating than the listless state of the WWE based on the quality of performers on their roster.
I mean, why bring in freaking stiffs Test and Tomko as high-card lackeys when you could just as soon elevate Lance Hoyt or reposition Abyss.
Or better yet, just drop lugs like Tomko, Test, Sting, BG James, Kip James, The Steiners, Team 3D, Raven (especially in his crippled state) and build around guys capable of putting on compelling wrestling matches.
Oh, and re-sign Sabu!
TNA's crapness is quite disheartening. In just over a year, we've gone from giddy Samoa Joe marks to snide, jaded TNA burnouts... and its all because of the product. Remember when I used to base my work schedule around iMPACT episodes? Remember buying four of their PPVs in a row? Remember me marking out for a fucking Raven match? Jesus Christ, what a mess. Looks like we'll be watching all our wrestling at the late Sandy Barr's swap meet from now on.
