This week’s show isn’t a terrible one… but is such a nothing happening show that I’m amazed people stuck around to fork another ten bucks for next week’s show. Only the opener and the main event is going to get extensive (not by much) coverage while everything else is glossed over. Sorry, but nothing happened to keep my attention beyond “yeah, that was a thing.”

So this show is a considerable improvement… which isn’t saying a whole lot because it’s still pretty much trash… but I didn’t hate this as much as previous shows.

This one’s going to be brief because the show didn’t do much for me. It wasn’t a bad show so much that it was rather unmemorable. Some stuff happened, but that’s about it. Please do me the courtesy of not adding the letter P at the beginning of the word “Elvises” and let’s maintain a bare moticum of maturtity here.
Says the guy who is moaning about watching horrible programming from a wrestling promotion calling itself TNA.
Anyway, some important bits.

TNA didn’t have a proper PPV event today; they’re aired a best of X-Division show instead. I didn’t watch it, but I’d thought that I would mention it here to keep the ball rolling, so to speak.
Anyway, the next “actual” PPV show would take place in a couple weeks because TNA didn’t do a show on 9/11. Don’t recall if it’s out of respect for those who lost their lives or because they just didn’t have money to do another one. Either way, there’s no weekly PPV and we’re given a brief respite.
With that said, I do have a PPV Musings for a couple TNA PPVs from later down the road. The good news is that both shows are pretty damned good.

This PPV was a taped show, having been taped after the previous show, which I thought was actually pretty good… enough, at least. This is readily apparent in that the crowd isn’t as enthusiastic as they were in the last show… in fact, they were quite dead.

You know what, kids? I was ready to call it quits on this experiment… I mean, there was no reason to go on. I already saw Truth win the NWA Title and as happy as I was to watch it, the stuff that followed was less than stellar. These shows were getting bad. I had no problem jumping off the train at number 10. In fact, I was dreading this show because I’m expecting more of the same and all I needed was that one push off the edge to call this whole thing off.
And then an amazing thing happened as I was watching this show; something that seemed almost impossible given what I had witnessed these past few weeks.
The show was good… not just good, but REALLY good.
In fact, I may go so far to say that I actually LIKED this show.
How ’bout that, huh?
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.

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.
