I stopped by a local convenient store this morning to get the paper when an older man noticed I was wearing a C.M. Punk shirt and started talking to me about wrestling.
After 30 seconds of talk about SummerSlam we began talking about TNA. Oh boy...
He begins by telling me that The Undertaker wrestles there every week. I corrected him by saying he was thinking about SmackDown on Fridays, but he was adament that Undertaker has been there for 6 months and has wrestled every week.
Next he tells me about how Kevin Nash is doing a great job as General Manager of TNA. He was adament that Nash was running the show on tv.
And finally the coup de grace, a review of the conversation would not give it justice. So instead I will write out the next (and last) portion of our conversation. The first quote was him, then me and then it keeps going in that order.
"Do you know who owns TNA?
"Yeah. Jeff Jarrett and Panda Energy."
"No, the person who owns it now."
"Jeff Jarrett and Panda Energy."
"No, the guy who started TNA."
"Jeff Jarrett and his father."
"No, Bret Hart started TNA and still owns it today."
It was at this point where I excused myself, paid for my purchases and got out of there quickly. I could only imagine what he'd tell me next.

Either he's seriously confused or he's just a crazy, crazy old loon. |

...wow
I'd like to say something witty that would be funny about this, but I don't think I can trump your story, I'm sorry you had to go through that situation.

I was at a UWF show earlier this month, and this fat black guy next to me was CONVINCED that Vince McMahon had something to do with the show. I was like ummm, why the f*** do you think that? "Well dey is sellin John Cena belts over there!" I explained to him that Highspots had a bunch of tables set up and they were selling all sorts of belts. And he was like "naw I'm yellin you! This is Vince McMahon's doin! How else did they get the ring and barriades?!" I stopped talking then.

I used to have a friend like this.
He would pretend he was an 'expert' or 'insider' about everything. He learned just enough names and lingo to fake his way through a conversation about any subject.
As long as the person he's talking to knows nothing about the subject, it works like a charm, and everyone always thought he was really smart.
Then he would encounter someone who did have knowledge of the subject and make a fool of himself. I'll never forget him trying to act like he knew more about the law than my brother, a lawyer, based on phrases and words he memorized from watching "Law and Order" on NBC.

Sure it wasn't Vince Russo trying to swerve you? If you're talking to me: No, I'm not entirely sure it wasn't Russo. If you're not talking to me: disregard. |

*at my friend's house watching Survivor Series 2003*
Some Guy: Yeah, right....like Vince McMahon is REALLY bleeding now.
Someone Else: Well the blood is dripping from his head.
Some Guy: No...here's how it works. Okay, you remember how he came into the ring and he had his hands together?
Someone Else: Yeah.
Some Guy: Well he was holding a pump
Someone Else: A pump? What?
Some Guy: Yeah, he's holding a pump that is attached by a wire to a blood pack. See look? He's squeezing his hand and the blood is pumping out.
Someone Else: But wouldn't you see a wire?
Some Guy: No, it's taped to him and covered with flesh colored tape. The wire runs up his body to his head. Look, the blood's stopping now, his pack must be empty
*Vince continues bleeding later*
Some Guy: He must have a second pack in there.

Wait a second... a guy wearing a CM Punk T-shirt had no idea what he was talking about? No way, I refuse to believe it.... Also, if Bret owned TNA, and Undertaker wrestled there every week, I would watch IMPACT like it was my job |

The one with Undertaker, Bret Hart and Jay Lethal. |

Odd thought, but do you think he's getting WWA mixed up with TNA? I remember when Bret was commissioner or whatever of that World Wrestling All-Stars fiasco and it had a bunch of guys who wound up in TNA. Maybe he thinks that Bret owned that since he was "in charge" and all. Both of them started on PPV, I could see someone getting confused.

Some guy at the UWF Jacksonville show a few weeks ago was convinced Steve Corino and Allison Danger were bf/gf after I told him that they were brother/sister and Corino SAID IT IN HIS IN-RING PROMO WITH HIS MOTHER, FATHER, BROTHER AND A COUPLE COUSINS IN ATTENDACE RIGHT BEHIND US.
