I ramble about things.

TNA Victory Road 2004

We’re going to be sampling some TNA shows for the next few weeks and what better way to kick this run off than by going back to their very first monthly PPV?
TNA’s new Impact television show had just debuted on FOX Sports channel as a weekly late-night television show; not exactly prime time but a step in the right direction for the promotion. And with that in place, TNA stepped away from the weekly PPV experiment that had been a money loser for the most part to transition to the traditional monthly PPV formula, beginning with this Victory Road show.

WWE Clash At The Castle 2022

It was a big weekend of wrestling. One night featured the AEW All Out PPV, while the other night featured WWE’s Clash At The Castle show from Wales. Prevailing circumstances prevented me from catching the AEW show, but I was able to watch the WWE PPV and so I’d figure that I would share my thoughts here.
We’re about a month or so removed from HHH’s stint as the new head of WWE Creative and there has been some changes here and there. A bunch of guys who were released have been brought back, there’s more of a focus on wrestling, and people are even allowed to say wrestling and hospital. It’s not exactly a huge turnaround and it’s still going to be a while before we can properly gauge this a success, but it’s steps in the right direction.
So I’m going to give this relatively minor show that’s being treated like a big deal a fair shake. And if turns out good, who knows? I might start watching these WWE PPVs again when they happen. Otherwise, I’ll be more than content waiting until the new year to give this another shot.
