I ramble about things.

21 Years Ago In TNA #09 – No Buys. No Money. (August 14th, 2002)

So I am going to be up front about this. Today’s musings will be focusing primarily on the main story that plays out during the show and less so on the undercard stuff, which only has one thing worth mentioning and that’s the triple threat X-Division title match that sees Low Ki defeat champ AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn to win the title in a pretty good match… and then there’s more crap with Disco and the Dupps. Monty Brown cuts a interview with Mike Tenay and then gets attacked by Elix Skipper.

None of that shit matters, m’kay? Because there’s the main reason why I was looking forward to this show and part of it contributes to the overall bullshit of this show.

WWE Summerslam 2023

So this was a thing that happened, right? The 2023 edition of Summerslam from FORD FIELD.

WWE likes to call Summerslam the biggest party of the summer or something like that. That’s the tagline for as long as I can remember. I don’t know about the biggest, but I can sure tell that this was the longest… or at least, it felt that way. And here I thought All In was going to be the most trivial thing coming up despite all the hype behind it and here comes Summerslam to sort of… well, let’s get into my thoughts on the show.

21 Years Ago In TNA #08 – THE TRUTH… Shall Not Save This Show From Sucking (August 7th, 2002)

State Of The Blog – August 2023

The Road To 1000… has been delayed due to illness.
Normally, the last five reviews would be up this week… but this past Sunday, I was hit with some major stomach aches and was practically bed ridden for the past couple days. Good news is that I’ve recovered a bit. Bad news is that plans have changed once again.
So the reviews are being pushed back or spread out a bit. These reviews are mostly done save for last minute editing and a final review before rendering. As soon as I’ve got something ready to announce, I will let you all know.
As for other stuff, 21 Years Ago In TNA is somehow still a thing. Everything else is up in the air.
I’m sorry about all this. I really wanted to nail that August 4th date, I’ve been pushing reviews out to try and make that date as best as I could, but once again, life finds a way to make plans go awry. Hence the moral of our story… don’t plan ahead.
Anyway, will follow up with an update in the future.
EDIT 2023-08-06: Never mind, here’s the set schedule of Reviews…
Review #996 – The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (Game Boy)
Due Wednesday, August 9th, 2023
Review #997 – The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening DX (Game Boy Color)
Due Thursday, August 10th, 2023
Review #998 – The Legend Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening (Switch)

Review #999 – REDACTED

Review #1000 – REDACTED
Due Friday, August 18th, 2023
From there, reviews will take a two-week break before resuming on Friday, September 1st with a review of Illusion Of Gaia for SNES… and then a bunch of seemingly random shit that was actually planned ahead until plans change and you end up with actual random shit.

21 Years Ago In TNA #07 – Planting The Seeds Of TRUTH (July 31st, 2002)

21 years ago, on this very day… NWA-TNA had another terrible weekly PPV show that they got away with charging people money for. A lot of bullshit, a lot of garbage… How these assholes still stayed in business when THIS was the product they were offering is confounding to me.
