Why? Him and Maria dominated the show. He did have one funny segment to his credit but jeez between them and the bland twins(Davey and Eddie) they were front and center.
Also Brandi wrestled on the show crippling the pain.

For some reason every time TNA draws me in with the promise of some measure of Hardy shenanigan, they put multiple segments starring Mike "Thinks Juice Cleanses Are Cool So He Lies About Being On Them To Pick Up Girls" Bennett all over the show. Every damn time. Lashley will usually only get one segment, Eli Drake gets one segment. But f***ing Mike "Anthropomorphized Nickelback Album" Bennett gets to be all over the show.

That's why I don't watch Impact no more. Yeah, the Hardys might do something whacky but sit through 6+ Mike Bennett segments? You on some other shit, I'll wait until stuff comes on Youtube.

I saw "mayonnaise" in the thread title and thought we were going to be discussing lesbians.

A few of the segments were actually funny, which is weird because they revolved around the critical mass pairing of hipster douche that is Mike "Milquetoast" Bennett and Braxton "Literally a bowl of milk with a slice of toast floating in it" Sutter.

I thought Mike "Bowl of Lucky Charms Without the Marshmallows" Bennett's contract was up soon. Why is he still on TV?

I thought Mike "Bowl of Lucky Charms Without the Marshmallows" Bennett's contract was up soon. Why is he still on TV? Because TNA is the company that will make him and Maria focal points of the show. In WWE, Mike would be either in the midcard or a tag team guy, and Maria would just be his valet, so her job would be to promote him and look hot. TNA sees them as so much more than that.

Is amazing how Maria has made a decent career for Mike "Paint Drying in the Wall" Benett

As far as I remember, Maria was leaving, but there wasn't any mention of if Mike "Still Buys Call of Duty Every Year" Bennett was on his way out. Neither seemed happy about the shit going on with Corgan and that whole mess, but if they've made good with the new management we could be seeing Mike "I Showcase All My Empty Liquor Bottles On A Shelf In My Living Room" Bennett around for a while longer, since it's not like anyone else will go in on him this hard.

Mike "The taxation of trade routes to outlying star systems is in dispute" Bennett isn't the worst thing in TNA. But he sure as shit is the most boring and bland.

To be fair him shutting the door on the hideous stripper last night might have been the single best thing Bennett has ever done.
Speaking of this storyline I have to comment on the following: What IS this crap? Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Maria lose control of the Knockouts about 6 months ago in the match with Gail Kim? Yet here she is ordering everyone around, having her posse, etc. For the life of me I don't understand why Braxton Sutter is bowing down to Maria to the point of agreeing to marry Laurel Van Ness. I mean I kinda get that he likes Allie and Maria is threatening to fire her, but are we supposed to think at this point that Allie has no actual TNA contract and is merely Maria's servant? Good grief, Allie has wrestled matches against Sienna and Laurel on Impact! I suppose this will all finally blow off next week with the wacky wedding. Even so, if Maria is trying to blackmail Sutter would you really go to the lengths of an actual marriage to your underling?
Bennett and Maria are like a bad Miz/Maryse. With Miz WWE wisely brought his wife in to give his act a fresh coat of paint and it's worked well because she augments the act, but doesn't overwhelm Miz. Maria totally overwhelms Bennett to the point of seeming like the actual pushed commodity and it is just off the rails.

Mike Bennett and Eddie Edwards drove me away for good. I even had a hard time coming back for Final Deletion. I have no interest in TNA with those guys around as focal points.

Maria totally overwhelms Bennett to the point of seeming like the actual pushed commodity and it is just off the rails. TNA wanted both of them involved and to be their own major acts, which was why it's been so insufferable the past year to have Maria be the top heel of the Knockouts Division and beating on this Allie thing since last March while also having the singles push of Mike "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Snooze" Bennett. They end up in each others' segments and all over the show, and have remained one of the more frustratingly pushed acts their whole tenure, despite the fact that while Maria can get heat off of Allie just fine, there's nothing about "The Coma Cowboy" Mike Bennett that justifies how much he shows up. I remember when he tried to "ruin Destination X" by showing up in like every segment, but he wasn't over enough to justify that kind of thing and his reaction was paltry because peoples' response to seeing Mike "lol and then what " Bennett isn't too bo, it's to seek out some caffeine.

Maria totally overwhelms Bennett to the point of seeming like the actual pushed commodity and it is just off the rails. I'm fairly certain that Allie is supposed to be a Maria employee. Probably the same for Laurel and Sienna. She lost control of the booking of the knockouts division, in that she can't order Gail, Jade etc around anymore, but she can order two people she employs to wrestle eachother, I guess. With the Braxton thing, it's supposed to be petty highschool level drama bullshit: Laurel saw that Braxton and Allie liked eachother, and decided she deserved him because she's hot and Allie is average (Try to ignore Allie not being average looking for a second), and Maria was in a position, and actually petty enough, to blackmail Braxton into dating and marrying Laurel just to hurt Allie. I knew plenty of bitches who'd probably do that if they could.

Brandi F***ing Rhodes on her first impact show has gotten more revenge on Maria than Allie has. Same goes for Gail Kim being able to get her hands on Maria. The one person who should of been kicked her ass is still there dragging a frustrating angle. They literally disappeared for like a month of TV time and came back with renewed focus on them

The one person who should of been kicked her ass is still there dragging a frustrating angle. They literally disappeared for like a month of TV time and came back with renewed focus on them Which is really worth harping on, because the idea of a slow year-long build to the berated and insulted lackey finally getting comeuppance over the heel who's made their life miserable is almost a good idea, and Allie has been getting sympathy just fine in her role because she plays it well. But the thing is, the big moment means a lot more when the heel has been an unchallenged piece of shit the whole time, and where TNA has f***ed it up so hard is that they have consistently fumbled the build of actually having Maria in that role. She lost the title to someone else, got removed from her place as head of the Knockouts Divison, got beat by Brandi... Allie is already almost six months removed from when Maria forced her to lay down so she could win the title, and that title has since been vacated and changed hands into a feud totally removed from what's going on with them. All of the oomph the eventual turn should have is lost by the fact that Maria isn't even queen bitch anymore, she's just leading a nebulously defined group with Sienna and Laurel Van Ness that are currently pretty much doing nothing but being shits to Allie. This has been so squandered and TNA'd.
