My Brown Bag special arrive today. So, before I post what I received, I want to give everyone the heads up that I got something really and truly bizarre. Like, weird on a few levels. I looked them up on the site to confirm what I was seeing, and the details revealed it to be ever worse. Can't believe nobody thought they were too strange to sell, but brace yourselves. Turning Point 2005 (yes I got 2 copies, waiting for a response from ShopTNA) TNA respond to you about this? I got two copies of a disc too (X-Division X-Travaganza 2015). I'd offer to trade, but I have also wrestled Chavo gotten Turning Point 2005. The 2003 version features matches from 2002 to 2003, while the 2006 one features matches from like 2004 to 2006 with Raven vs. Shane Douglas as a bonus. That is if I remember correctly off the top of my head, but the 2003 one definitely features nothing but stuff from the Asylum as that is all there was at the time. Good looks! Turns out this happened to me. The match listings are completely different.

I'm planning on just including a note reminding them of the situation, and the other DVDs that I received so that I hopefully won't get another duplicate.

They made two different (or in TNA's case, diffrnet) spelling errors in two different lines. This company.

Out of morbid curiosity, I just order a brown bag special. I also don't have Turning Point 2005, so at least that won't be a duplicate. I'm not holding out much hope for the t-shirt being any good, though. My Brown Bag special arrive today. So, before I post what I received, I want to give everyone the heads up that I got something really and truly bizarre. Like, weird on a few levels. I looked them up on the site to confirm what I was seeing, and the details revealed it to be ever worse. Can't believe nobody thought they were too strange to sell, but brace yourselves. With this kind of buildup, you can't leave us hanging.

Just ordered 4 brown bag specials. (If Turning Point 2005 happens, I trust them enough to make the switch if needed if I get multiples.) To make sure if ShopTNA is also willing to be on board as well, I also did name my favorite wrestlers in the notes to them to see if this changes what I get in my Brown Bag Specials (or if people can effectively pick what they get if they use this method, which can make it a better deal.) Due to trying to keep a wrestling T-shirt collection and part of the rules of my collection entailing "try to get at least one thing per wrestler who merited merchandise from a major promotion", the wrestlers I named as my favorites are also the people on the TNA website where I do not own any merchandise of them whatsoever, which came out as: {Spoiler}The Decay (I do own a Menagerie shirt for Crazzy Steve, but no Abyss shirts/the Decay shirt is Rosemary's only merch), Eli Drake (I own a Rising shirt), The Hardys (I own one Jeff Hardy shirt from long before, but no Matt Hardy shirt), James Storm, Kenny King (I own a Beat Down Clan shirt), King Mo, Kurt Angle, Dixie Carter, Mike Bennett, Mr. Anderson, MVP (as said, I own a Beat Down Clan shirt), Rampage Jackson, Sting, Tigre Uno, Brooke Tessmacher (I own banners), ODB, The Beautiful People (I own banners). Depending on what I get from this, we can also see what they can get. If we do, then this adds to the value of the Brown Bag Special.

Looking through shop TNA, at the DVDs to see what potential shows I could receive, and I noticed a ONO show with Mr. Anderson vs The Great Muta as a headliner... from 2015.
I didn't even know Muta worked for them in 2015.

I'm a TNA DVD collector, and want to get a Brown Bag, but I know I'll get stuff I already have. If anyone here has any of the TNA 2015/2016 DVD releases that they don't want (or are getting rid of when you watch them), let me know and maybe we can work something out. I have a few of them already from their December sale, but I'm missing some still.

If it helps the spiral end, to be fair: I willingly bought the "Creepy Bastard" shirt AND Mahabali Shera's T-shirt due to my wrestling tee collection (albeit to knock Shera/Shaw off). Not even from a Brown Bag, I willingly went to the site at Black Friday, of sound mind and body, and said "yes. I want this. This is something I would like to own." Nothing else could be that bad, could it?

If it's what I think it is, I can't say I blame you. Come on, man...you have to go through with it. Alright...here we go... So I was going to list all the acceptable, understandable items to build up to the one in question, but I can't so I'm just going to get right to the baffling item and tell you the cool stuff after. As some of you know, I am a devout Catholic. So, at first I was "OK, that's not what I expect but that's cool and at least I can use it..." when I opened my box and saw this... TNA, Total Nonstop Action wrestling, sent me a Rosary. A knot of beads used for prayer, my private moments speaking directly to God, now with a TNA logo on it. There's a lot to unpack about what an utterly bizarre item that this is. First of all, it's not a "Rosary-like" item, it's a legit properly beaded Rosary. But above the crucifix it has the TNA logo. You flip the TNA logo and you see a fist. I couldn't remember whose logo was the single fist. The Revolution? James Storm's theme for that time was a brooding cover of a spiritual. Was the fist maybe a Low-Ki thing? AJ Styles was a Christian, but I don't believe he's a Catholic. So I go to the TNA website and I see it's a Robbie E Rosary (a nod to the Jersey Shore thing) but he's wearing it AS A NECKLACE and they're marketing it AS A NECKLACE. Now, plenty of Catholics will wear a Rosary as a statement, hanging off the belt or what-not, but wearing a Rosary as a necklace isn't particularly looked fondly upon for the most part. Why were these, for ANY REASON mass-produced? I don't want to judge anyone's means of practicing spirituality, but I wouldn't even wear a shirt with a TNA logo to mass. This is a legit item used in prayer and they're slapping two logos on it. Anyway, on to the less shamelessly blasphemous stuff... SHIRTS: Bad influence Matt Hardy Matt Hardy The Hardyz ITEMS: TNA Music CD Vol. 2 Jeff Hardy Arm Bands Kurt Angle Medallian Mr. Anderson Medallian Main Event Mafia Hat (just says "The Mafia" on it, imagine someone asking what it means and just telling them 'Oh, I'm a big fan of the Mafia.'") aforementioned TNA Robbie E Rosary that never stops being near-impossible to type DVDs: Turning Point 2005 Victory Road 2006 One Night Only: Tournament of Champions Global Impact 2014 (Cool looking card) Victory Road 2014 Bound for Glory 2015 X-Division X-travaganza 2015 X-Division X-travaganza 2015 (two copies, surprisingly dope looking card though) Bloodiest Brawls Vol. 1 (Error version with 2004 Disc in 2006 packaging) The Best of Jeff Hardy Volume 1

Well, I was correct in assuming it was the rosary necklace, mostly because I saw some photos of it on other people's Brown Bag specials. They must have made a ton of them, because it seems like everyone is getting them.
