LOLTNA History

Let us all have a read and enjoy the idiocy that is - TNA

[Rave]

Already do. I'm a frequent contributor to that page.

[TK The Friendly Robot]

Well this isn't going to end well.

[Medicinal Thunder Liger]

I've always appreciated TNA having at least a handful of really good wrestlers on their roster but looking at all this I don't know whats more shitfaced TNA now or post apocolyptic WCW-TNA back in 02-04. 05-07 I thought was a hell of a run though for all things considered.

Oh my, this is awesome. TNA's finest moments.

[TGM]

"Matt Morgan went off the deep end a bit after putting Hernandez on the shelf, declaring himself the sole tag champion and referring to himself in the Royal We, leading to many jokes that he'd somehow become Venom. Despite actually being recognized as the sole tag champion, for some reason he still had to enlist people to defend the titles with. This was never explained and quietly dropped after Morgan lost the tag titles."

Every time this list crops up, this is the thing that pisses me off most. Killed Matt Morgan's career.

[Deleted]

Haven't read this in a while. Always good for some laughs.

[ededdneddy]

lol I started reading the #AskDixie page that they have

[DragonMasterP]

I have never seen this before and am very upset that I have not.

[The Masked Heel WAS WRONG]

The LOLWWE page is filled with errors. If they are going to make fun of a company, at least do some fact checking first.

[SOR]

Some of this is soooo smarky to the point it's funny.

Some main ones I'd like to dispute:

Throughout the first hour, TNA aired vignettes of fans bashing WWE and talking up TNA; this caused fans to switch over to the USA Network and spike WWE's ratings for the night.

Never happened. 1 vignette aired of fans saying they thought TNA had a real shot at competing with WWE now but there wasn't any bashing. Definitely not enough for a ratings change.

Mick Foley spent the whole show attempting to get into the iMPACT Zone despite security doing its best to keep him out -- while numerous other uninvited guests (including Scott Hall, Sean Waltman, and the Nasty Boys) managed to sneak in with little problem.

You mean the Nasty Boys who had someone distract security and Hall/Waltman who had to buy tickets and then have Hogan invite them in?

As for the fat f*** that got Kong fired: Bubba got released in April, not long after Kong's release. What did he do to deserve getting shitcanned by TNA, when "f*** Haiti" wasn't enough? He ambushed Kong during an interview on another radio show and spouted racist and sexist slurs at her. Once the interview hit the Internet, his release was immediately announced and celebrated by the great majority of the Internet. On the plus side, Bubba's last on-screen appearance in TNA saw him getting punched in the face by Mick Foley

Pretty sure Kong called in to argue with Bubba on that particular occasion not sure how it was an "ambush"

Several Australian radio stations assumed Bobby Roode would appear on several of their shows as part of a promotional tour for a future TNA house show run. These stations confirmed Roode's appearances had been canceled on Monday (the day after Bound for Glory) and TNA had booked no one to fill the gap, which furthering the theory of Roode's push getting sacked by Hogan days before the biggest moment of his career.

Straight up lie, he appeared in Australia a few weeks after his TNA Title win. It got delayed it was NEVER cancelled.

After Bound for Glory 2011 Garett Bischoff received a major push. First he would defeat former TV Champion Gunner three times. He also survived a beat the clock match against Kurt Angle. For awhile Hogan was his mentor and tried to put him over as the future of wrestling. But his biggest angle involved a feud against his father which saw his father leave his onscreen role.

Major push now consists of beating Gunner 3 times and surviving against Kurt Angle. Okayyy...

This post doesn't surprise me..

[Apricots And A Pear Tree]

I'm more of a fan of the CZW version

Fat Ruckus faced Jay Briscoe in a dragged out two-out-of-three falls match which would have been okay if it was ten minutes long (with entrances). The Midnight Outlawz then ran in after the second fall resulting a no-contest, prompting no "bullshit" or "boring" chants. *Intermission* Dennis Shock: "Fans, would you like to see the third fall of Ruckus and Jay Briscoe?" Fans: "NO!" Shock: "Do you wanna see them finish it?" Fans: "NOO!" Shock: (Again) Do you wanna see them finish it?! Fans: "NOOO!..." *...ceezeedubayou AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRREEEEEEE YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU READYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?!?!!?* Accompanied by the CZW theme Ruckus and Jay return to the ring after intermission, they are then met with loud "we said no!" chants. In total the match was around thirty-seven lackluster minutes (without entrances).

While I don't always agree with him, if the facts are wrong, they need to be fixed. TNA has had enough issues over the years that the truth is certainly good enough to warrant an article like this. But things should at least be factual. Like, one part seemed to be mentioned almost sarcastically was AJ wins the title from Jeff Jarrett and then drops it to Raven 35 days later. Now, in my opinion, Raven winning the NWA Title was one of TNA's biggest moments, especially in their 3 year history at the time. And TNA isn't known for their "big moments". Raven did this two year deal where it was his destiny to win the NWA Title, and it was the last great moment of Raven's career before he started winding down.

A few sentences later, they talked about how Rhino was just this mid carder and won the title. Well, Rhino has been booked pretty decently up to that point in TNA, even wrestling for the title against Raven, so it's not like he was some schmuck in the company. Now granted, Rhino was back in the midcard soon after, and the title reign was pretty meaningless, so again, you see a bad critique followed up by a good one.

[The Ichi]

The gif of Tito nodding needs to be added.

[Magic knows Black Lives Matter]

I prefer the CZW one.

I didn't really want to talk about it because as far as I'm concerned these wikis are as bad as the infamous "Sleeze list", however this list is filled with so many inaccuracies and has clearly been put together by people who can't follow a story, read between ANY lines or put 2 and 2 together to get 4. TNA has done some stupid shit, I know they have because I've seen every hour of TV they've put out but this wiki is definitely not an accurate representation of "LOLTNA" as so many like to put it. People should get their god damned facts straight, if they don't know what they're talking about they shouldn't talk about it at all, let alone write a wiki page about it.

[bearhug]

Following the death of Chris Candido TNA refused to pay Tammy Sytch the money they had owed him. While this is technically legal because they were not officially married, Terry Taylor sent her a ham dinner as a condolence gift.

Getting some ham from the Red Rooster must've softened the blow.

Actually it was. Kong called into another show for an interview and Bubba then called in to verbally attack her. I believe it was actually a set up between Bubba and the other host to ambush Kong.

Rhino had also head lined 2 PPV's the months prior and was in the main event of the very first Impact against I believe Jeff Hardy or Sabu. Hardly a "Midcard" guy. He was one of TNA's top guys when he beat Jarrett. TNA obviously thought so since there attempt at a "big time" match for their first show featured him.

He also head lined an Australian Tour and they sold 1000-1500 tickets each night with him on top. Not bad for a "Midcarder"

There is so many lies from the 2-3 years I read. I'll go through the rest later on but it is tough to read. It's so biased.

You are correct, I retract my Kong statement but the rest stands.
