Was the Maria match the main event ?

It's f***ing appalling to see people start doing the "Holy shit" chant for a spot where Edwards legitimately threw himself at a metal barricade, hit it with what looks like his lower face, and then pinballed right off of it.

Scoop #26: Gail defeated Maria in a no dq match Maria is no longer head of the KO division I'd just like to note that going by the time codes on the tweets this match was 24 minutes. I'd like to point out that's over 2 hours in dog time. A dog would be asking to be euthanized after that. |

This will tie into TNA. I promise.
My wife is an avid White Wolf role player. Always has been. One of the people she's been playing with for the last few years is a younger guy with some fairly strange, off the wall ideas. How strange? His main, go-to character is a were-hippo. A few years back, Mr. Were-Hippo decided to run his a story of his own. Said story focused around Doktor Skorpion (added emphasis on the "K"s), a 90 year old Nazi mad scientist who felt the need to awaken a dormant volcano in Hawaii. (When I asked my wife why, she said "I don't know... Nazi reasons, I guess.") The heroes, who quickly grew tired of this bullshit, dumped a volcano's worth of lava onto the good doktor's head. The story ended right then or there. Or at least it should have.
Three years later, a seemingly random villain killed at least 100 orphans with a super-virus. (The number gets bigger every time.) It turns out that it wasn't a random villain at all. It was Doktor Skorpion and his henchmen, neo-nazis outfitted with genetically engineered scorpion armor that connected through their ass. (The guy apparently made a huge deal out of it.) My wife, and by extension of her character, left to do a barely related side story based in Vegas. "I draw the line at ass scorpions," she said.
This is where we're at with TNA. BFG should have been it. Hell, they did everything but pour lava onto the company last night. But no. Dixie and company came back - complete with their neo-nazis, I might add - to run amok once again, ass scorpions in tow. At this point, I think it might best for all of us to have our own barely related side story in Vegas.

Whether or not you believe WWE is ripping off the Maria/Allie stuff with Charlotte/Dana, I can guarantee WWE still do the split better. |

When TNA looked like it was on it's last legs I was both happy and sad. Happy for obvious reasons (Talent not being paid, talent being screwed, production being screwed etc etc) but also sad because from reading the reports from the fans and others, TNA had actually really been trying, they had a hot World Champion, were building towards Bound For Glory (Not well, but they were building) and people compliment the roster.
So, what happens instead? Bound For Glory was pretty crappy but I watched and thought to myself "A lot of these guys sure look the same and are generic as hell" with the only guys really putting that to bed are the Hardys, DJ Z, The Decay and Lashley. So of course the next night they take this interesting character who someone such as myself might have been interested in and job them to Eddie Edwards who looks EXACTLY THE SAME AS EVERYONE ELSE.
Mind you, when TNA was on the ropes I was sad for Billy Corgan because I stupidly thought he might turn things around and felt bad that his vision might not come to fruition. Now I see that his vision is the same...old...shit...

His vision is terrible filled with nonsensical swerves and bad worked shoots. |

What baffles me is why didn't they just have EC3 win it the night before? I'm not a fan of babyface EC3 any more than bland-as-hell Edwards, but one at least has (TNA) main event credibility, while the other just jobbed to Aron Rex.
I'm guessing it had to be some sort of fluke roll up pin or something, but regardless, just an awful decision. These tapings are hopefully just killing time until the inevitable. They don't deserve to survive much longer. The way the company operated was bad enough, but now they are messing the few good things going for them. Thankfully the Hardys seem to have creative control over their storyline because I shudder to think how TNA would have TNA'ed it up.

You have Bobby Lashley, MMA Badass and a total package that comes off as the most legit world champion in wrestling. You have him drop the belt, WITH NO BUILD, to Eddie Edwards, a talented performer with nothing resembling star presence or mic skills. All for the sake of shocking people. Just yesterday people were talking about the outside possibility of a Lesnar/Lashley match-up because one thing TNA hadn't completed farted up yet was him. |

You know....I like Eddie Edwards. He can't cut a promo for crap, but he's legitimately worlds more talented than his Wolves partner. That said, him winning the title with less than zero build is f***ing stupid, and him damn near killing himself on the goddamn barricade in front of what's probably 50-ish fans at Impact is f***ing TRIPLY so. f*** you, TNA, and f*** you, Eddie Edwards, for choosing to do that stupid ass spot. I dunno, that f***ing video made me unreasonably mad, maybe I'll chill on that position later.

And now you know why everyone wanted TNA to die on Friday
We would have avoided one of the most baffling decisions in the history of wrestling, even by TNA Standards
This company doesn't DESERVE to live... if that wasn't apparent before to some people somehow, it is now...
