Um, the L and the D in "Cold" are no different than the L and the D in "Blood." That's not a buzzkill, that's just calling it what it is. All this stretching to make fun of anything and everything TNA or Hardy related just gets old and irritating. Because the L and D in 'blood' are right next to each other, giving the illusion of it being one letter done in that font and thus invalidating our claims that... wait, they're not? Hunh, look at that. Well, at least nobody thought the same thing with the B and L in 'blood' and... oh wait, they did! Shucks, how about that? I'm sorry if your pantaloons have gotten into a right awful knot about this, but maybe - just maybe - people are poking fun at the shirt for using a less-than-optimal font, and that it happens to be tied to Matt Hardy is an unintended bonus for people who don't like him? I know that it goes against the general "everyone hates TNA" theory that goes on around here, but seriously, lighten up a bit, fella. If it helps, recite the MST3K mantra to yourself and just ignore these topics if the subject isn't to your liking. It will save yourself from becoming irritated. Anyway, guys, getting back on topic, let's come to a consensus: is it "cow blood" or "cow wood"? Because the latter conjures mental images that can either be hilarious (tree made of bovines) or terrifying (cow "wood", if you know what I mean), while the former is just, y'know, his blood type.

So he gives himself dreads, gives himself the Cold Blood nickname..How long until Matt Hardy starts routinely destroying people's couches and using the Five Finger Punchline as a finisher? See I don't do things just to do 'em. You act like I'm gonna jump up and grind my feet into Bischoff's couch like it was something to do? I got more sense than that. Yeah, I remember grinding my feet into Bischoff's couch.

Because the latter conjures mental images that can either be hilarious (tree made of bovines) or terrifying (cow "wood", if you know what I mean), while the former is just, y'know, his blood type. The consensus should be that it says "cold blood." I get that it's a hard to read font. I get that it's fun to make fun of stuff. But when you have to make things up to make fun of them, it's not clever. Not a single one of those letters touch each other, and the L and D in "cold" aren't symmetrical. If they were, there'd at least be an argument for it. This is just ripping something apart for the sake of who it is, not because it's a valid point. I'm sorry if my pantaloons are in a twist, but it's this kind of stuff that makes this TNA section unusable. 95% of threads are here to tear down TNA, and the few that are legit topics get some kind of smarmy, snide comment within the first few replies and the thread degenerates into LOL@TNA. There's a sticky thread up there regarding overt bashing of TNA that goes largely disregarded by posters and mods alike, and those of us who do enjoy the product can't discuss it without having to wade through a trough of negativity and fun-poking. And it's been going on for months, if not years. So forgive me if I'm out of line, but I think I have the right to be irritated. Sure, people have the right to dislike the product or disagree with things they do, but the same old tired "yo-yo booking" and "it's TNA, they'll screw it up" jokes are pretty much nothing but unchecked trolling at this point.

How the hell is making jokes about misreading the words on a t-shirt tearing down TNA? Has anyone even remotely suggested that it says "Cow Blood" because TNA are screwups?
Maybe you should go over to the WWE board and tell people to stop bashing WWE by saying that they heard Sheamus saying "in front of your girlfriend" as "I'll f*** your girlfriend".

Its meant to say "Cold Blood", but someone in TNA is a idiot when it comes to designing words. Good job TNA. It really does look like cow blood It's even stupider because he's not gonna use the braids anymore And what's worse, I still don't see the W....

Two comments. Yeah, that's certainly indicative of some vast anti-TNA conspiracy.

And if can't see a W..........you are looking too damn hard.

Well, you did say anyone. How was I to know you needed a quota? Fair enough. Two comments out of nearly fifty is a pretty small percentage though. I'm still not seeing how this thread was specifically started to bash TNA.
