Palin is the lamest deal I've seen for a while. I am still holding out hope that it will somehow lead somewhere like I dunno a wrestling match maybe? It probably will, comrade. The only way this ends well if its Daffney punking the Beautiful People. They blame Kip for it. Fire him, and became even meaner then they are. Daffney does the job and it's over quick. I just dont see how they pull the plug on it.

Knowing TNA, it'll probably last until the next election.

The Palin thing is just plain dull and now outdated. I rather see the Beautiful People wrestle and put paper bags over their heads. Let Kip James wrestle...I can't believe it...he's never been my favorite. In fact, he's never been good, but let him be carried to a match or put him in a tag team.
The faces should just be themselves and why are all of the female heels black except for Raisha? Not that it matters that much, but I just wondered that. Maybe it has nothing to do with race. Maybe the characters would be better off heels. I just can't imagine Awesome Kong as a face. That would be worse than HHH as a face.
But the biggest piece of wrestlecrap is the lack of wrestling and fluidity/continuity and good booking in the pay per views. The wrestling talent is awesome, but the booking is what is lacking. But Black Machismo-So Cal Val-Sanjay Dutt bored me to tears. I saw more rhyme and reason with Super Eric.

I have no idea why they turned her.

Suicide
I don't subscribe to the belief that those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. However, Suicide makes me rethink things. I don't know if the WCW vets forgot about Glacier or they thought they could Glacier better if they were given a second chance. Spider-spawn is corny as hell, no mater what demographic they are trying to market him to.

I mean TNA's had some bad thing in their past, like the Dupps, The Johnsons, Midget Killer, Jarrett fighting_____ celebrity in the asylum and the Hard 8 Tournament.
But I feel that stuff shouldn't be considered crap as that was them trying to find themselves the true crap are stuff in the spike era. But the two things that are the worst I could think of has to be Family drama of Abyss that went from Sting being preachy and having Abyss go against Mitchell which lead to year of Abyss fighting various monsters such as a fake brother who spit blood, a man in a mask that was killer spelled backwards and a guy who had a split personality disorder.
But honestly at least Abyss vs Mitchell's monsters had some promise just dragged on to long really now look at Suicide I mean a masked vigilante named Suicide? What? Why? WHY!? Also why would you have a dude who a few months ago was having main event matches with Angle and Cage and than give him a dead end gimmick, seriously what is it with TNA and doing this with guys that have potential it's the same thing they did with Daniels as well. Also If you're gonna do that at least give him a better name than that like I don't know The Red Avenger, Vigilante, really anything but Suicide. Plus they should of gave him a more devastating move than that botched Code Red. Seriously if this doesn't win the Gooker than I'll be shocked.
Oh and actually I almost forgot about on of the worst feuds and that was Young/Roode that was a feud that maybe should have lasted a month or two but lasted months and both wrestlers looked stupid for different reasons I mean the whole Young being Roode's slave was terrible and just made Roode look like an asshole and not one to hate one that I wanted to see just off my screen. God how did this not win the gooker is beyond me.

Biggest piece of wrestlecrap in TNA? Wouldn't that by definition have to be the Gobbledygooker himself? Stand up and take a bow Hector Guerrero, you've earned it ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

Even though it was one of my favorite segments, ODB's Angle segments had to be one of the worst of all time. Booker Deez Nuts...

abyss' entire career. when TNA was starting, abyss represented everything TNA should be. here was a tremendously talented performer who could put on good matches and get the crowd involved in a match. however, he was too small to pull of the abyss character in mcmahonland, so you would assume that that would be it for abyss in mainstream wrestling. but TNA came to his aid, and this tremendous wrestler was able to get a shot with the alternative. he wasn't trying to be kane, or mankind, or anything except abyss, and it worked.
now, however, abyss represents everything wrong with TNA. one of the company's most established characters was absolutely ripped to shreds when he was booked to look like a fool in the whole chris abyss/james mitchell garbage. the fans hated it, and all it seemed to do was make every single character look weaker all of abyss' weaknesses were exposed, but he never overcame them as a face should. viewers didn't have a clue what was going on bu tthey knew that abyss was a pussy. he was a nice bloke, but still a pussy. over the course of this, the abyss character's old traits were slowly eliminated, and he became a carbon copy of kane.
that sums up the decline of TNA, at least in my opinion. it should be about being the alternative, providing what isn't there, and introducing something that is unique, but at the same time provides wrestling fans with familiar teritory. everything is too "outside the box". just because it's unique, doesn't make it good. and in addition to that, TNA never attempts to forge it's own identity, and they come across as a really shit WWE. abyss and TNA are watching one another struggle, and that sucks ass.

Abyss becoming the happy go lucky mental patient.
I used to criticize him for being a cheap mankind knockoff, but he really grew on me as a heel. He was equal parts Kane and Mankind, which was kinda nice. Weird tortured mental guy with the muscle to back it up.
Now though he's doing silly skits with Morgan, who before this was on a serious fasttrain to the top, being useless when he was at one time one of the most dominant bruisers on the roster, and his promos are full of comedic elements that honestly just don't WORK for him.
I say he's the biggest one cause of lot of these mentioned were wrestlecrap out of the gate, they actually sat down and put effort into making something that worked something completely crappy.

Electrified Six Sides of Steel Tag Team Match
The fact that the electric shocks never even worked, they had to pretend to be shocked and flash the lights on and off.
or Joe vs Angle in a wrestling- I mean MMA match at Lockdown.

When Palin and the BP appear, I hit fast forward on my DVR. It's the biggest piece of Wrestlecrap for my money.
I know a girl who could be a member of the Beautiful People in terms of being blonde, plastic and dumb. She was dating a friend of my fiance's. Even she knows Obama won the election. It's impossible not to live in America and know that. So, how have Sky and Love missed it? HOW?
I rolled my eyes at Wilde's little speech on the last Impact. Your hair is naturally streaked, Wilde? Your boobs have naturally grown several sizes, Roxxi?
Besides, don't rip on the WWE divas, when your plan rips off DX.
