21 Years Ago In TNA #15 – Brawls For All (October 2nd, 2002)

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.

State Of The Blog – October 2023

It’s your usual monthly blog update, kids.

REVIEW FRONT
We’re resuming the two-review-a-week format, every Tuesday… well, except this week; this week, it’ll be on a Wednesday due to varying factors here and there – and every Friday. There’s some semblance of a plan in place, but otherwise, business as usual. Not spoiling any beans here because I don’t want to jinx it… TOO LATE!

Update 2023-10-03 – Only one review this week as it turns out as I’m currently under the weather. There will be one on Friday and I’ll make up for it next week.

PPV MUSINGS FRONT
PPV Musings are on hold for the moment – you can thank the 21 Years Ago In TNA project that is currently happening for this delay. The good news is that this project won’t last long. The bad news is that until this project is done, I’m minimizing the wrestling output unless there’s something newsworthy to talk about that doesn’t involve some guy with cause or something. My PPV viewings will be minimal going forward, which means I won’t be watching the WrestleDream PPV coming up tonight.

DTM-CAST
Two episodes of the program this week; one is coming next Monday, October 9th and the other will be at the end of the month. The first episode will discuss MK1 Switch woes and Very Shit Treks, while the second episode will (probably) be a deep dive into Cosmic Fury. Neither is a “bonus” episode, but after this month, we’re back to our usual monthly Cast output.

That’s about all that comes to mind. Later.

21 Years Ago In TNA #14 – The Flying Elvises Explode (September 25th, 2002)

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.

Very Sh!t Trek: The Next Generation

So the Star Trek Paramount people released another Very Short Trek… this one called Worst Contact and featuring the TNG crew making first contact with an alien race who pick their noses and are not familiar with the concept of basic hygiene. I am told this is hilarious and yet when I was done, my only question was “When does this get funny?”

I get that these are supposed to funny little shorts, but it would be nice if these things were actually funny. The only one that I remotely enjoyed was the Holiday Party one, where Spock shows off a blooper reel of sorts. I thought Clip #15 was an excellent blooper.

Beyond that… eh. Maybe next time, if you guys decide to do this again, maybe someone whose one highlight isn’t a drawn-out gag that overstayed its welcome ages ago. Hell, maybe get someone who knows how to write actual comedy. I don’t even care if it’s consistent with Star Trek canon – if you want to make me laugh, give me something funny… YOU DUMMIES!

Make it blow.

See?

That’s funny.

21 Years Ago In TNA #13 – Oh, You Didn’t Know… Steel Punks (September 18th, 2002)

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.
