TNA Against All Odds 2011

So here are my predictions for TNA’s Against All Odds PPV that is taking place tonight and boy, do I have very little to say on each match, soooo….

Wait a minute… it’s already over? Well, so much for that.

Can I ask you folks something? Why is it that whenever I get a TNA PPV for viewing, it’s almost always the BAD shows? It’s never one of those rare instances where TNA puts out something resembling a quality PPV, but it’s always a show that not only hurts my brain to watch, but also hurts the ol’ wallet. Can I not watch a fucking good PPV from TNA for once? Is it at all possible? I mean, sure, WWE tends to put out some stinkers, but at least the PPVs are largely good and I don’t often complain about the booking unless it’s giving John Worthless more TV time despite getting…

Never mind, dude. We’re past that now.

Anyway, let’s get this over with…

WWE Hell In A Cell 2010

Well, two weeks after their incredibly “okay” Night of Champions PPV, World Wrestling Entertainment presents its first of two October PPVs, Hell In A Cell. Are you one of the lucky suckers… er, I mean, customers who paid fifty to sixty bucks on a PPV comprising a whole FIVE MATCHES? Boy, that’s a real bang for your buck. No wonder people aren’t forking over their hard-earned money to buy WWE Pay-Per-Views.

Anyways… let’s get to the goods.

WWE Fatal-4-Way 2010

Tonight’s WWE Fatal Four Way Pay-Per-View is brought to you by the letter F, the letter A, the letter I, and the letter L. What do those letters spell? F.A.I.L.

Because when you’re running low of stupid gimmick PPVs, you do one after a match where four guys fight each other for a pin… or to be more realistic, two guys fight while the other two pretend to be incapacitated until it’s their turn to do stuff. Fatal 4-Ways are often a lazy attempt to get as many guys (or gals) in a match as possible and trying to make them interesting has been a tall order.

Spoiler alert: This didn’t get the job done.

Besides that, the only thing that is remotely worth a damn is to catch for whatever follow-up to the NXT invasion bit might come up, even if the shine has since been dulled. I mean, seriously; Bryan Danielson or no Bryan Danielson, WWE had a goldmine with this thing and not even a week later, in the first segment no less, they fucked it up. They’re going to need to do something BIG in order to recover from that.

(Spoiler alert from the future: They never did.)

But enough about FAIL. Let’s talk about the PPV and discuss the matches:

TNA Slammiversary VIII (2010)

Eight years ago, Total Nonstop Action held its first weekly PPV show, featuring human dicks, gauntlet battle royals for the NWA World title, country singers doing songs, and the epic feud between Jeff Jarrett and elderly statesman Bob Armstrong. How far we’ve gone since then? Now we’re feuding over WWE Hall of Fame rings while the TNA titles are mere afterthoughts. Amazing.
