Dammit all to hell, now I have to go reset the "__ Days Since TNA Did Something Good" board back to 0. That was perfectly done. Don't worry tna will ruin it at the end.

Impact should just lean hard into full-on Troma-style production value for all their backstage stuff. I heartily endorse this idea and/or product. Hell, just convince Uncle Lloyd to buy out Impact and turn it into Troma National Wrestling. The production value would skyrocket, it'd be so much more watchable, and he'd somehow pay better than Anthem could. In real life, Lloyd is actually neighbors with Antonio Inoki.

See, if TNA really leaned into stuff like this, a cheesy gimmick, a nostalgic aesthetic, and b level type movies and production, they could be onto something different. We already rip TNA for all the shit they do wrong anyway, wouldn't it be more fun if we were able to entertain ourselves like a MSTK or, as others sad, a Troma type production? The only time they got positive press recently was when Matt went that route and created some entertaining television.
I'd rather have TNA try some weird and different shit may fail then continue to try and be WWE lite and succeed. EMBRACE THE WEIRD AND THE STRANGE. #KEEPTNAWEIRD

When TNA is over, it really needs to be revealed as a dream of Abyss. Let the last episode of Impact be him playing all the roles until he wakes up Wizard of Oz style. Bonus points of Nash is there as Oz for some reason.

Well, it's TNA.
The one thing they've always done well is comedy. Both intentional and unintentional.

Well, I suppose the fact that the individual lawyer pages going to a generic ThemeGrill blog might actually enhance this for a change. Still, wasn't Park, Park & Park revealed to have closed a decade ago during the original Joseph Park angle? Yeah, Chris Daniels went to the law offices of Park, Park & Park and it was an abandoned office building. Also it's amazing how much Abyss looks like Penn Jillette... hell he looks more like Penn than Penn does nowadays I hated when they did that and then made it canon that Joseph and Abyss are the same person. MUCH preferred them being distinct individuals, especially with how much Chris Parks put into playing Joseph to the hilt (and sparing himself a few thumbtack spots). But yeah, if Lucha Underground is a 70s grindhouse double feature come to life via magical lucha libre, Impact should try becoming a neon-tinted ode to 1980s/early 1990s cable access aesthetics.

Well they did that pretty much right off the bat. I mean in Chris's first match he rolled under the ring and Abyss rolled out the other and attacked Bubba(err Brother/Bully Ray) before rolling under the ring again... So they had that the case pretty blatantly from the beginning.

Wow. Bravo.
This reminds me of something I'd have seen on "WNUF Halloween Special".

I mean, if the closest we can get to a Southpaw PPV is TNA intentionally looking like the AWA's end times I'd take it.

Now I wait for Abyss and Mike Tenay to engage in a vaporwave battle. The winner gets Saint Pepsi.

Even so, they still had the freedom to book them as two different characters if they wanted to. And yeah, if Anthem just went all in and officially rebranded Impact as a Canadian Southpaw (Northpaw?) promotion, I'd be all in.
