TNA has zero regard for storylines and consistency. It's laughable. They pretty much killed the best angle they had going and spent two fucking months to build up (Angle vs. Top 10) while simultaneously proving once again that their ranking system is useless bullshit with this tournament for a new World Champ. Yet they are trying their hardest to maintain this mysterious biker chick gimmick.
So Sting is back and WE STILL DONT KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HIS PROBLEM IS WITH TNA.
The Nash/Jarrett feud that has seemingly popped out of nowhere continues to gain steam for some reason. They're just saying the exact same shit they said weeks ago, BUT WE STILL DONT KNOW EXACTLY WHY THEY ARE FEUDING IN THE FIRST PLACE.
Fortune vs. ECW/Legends is fine, but since their whole bit is about (from what I gathered) TNA's future tired tired of catering to old guys WHY IS RIC FLAIR THE HEAD OF THE GROUP? It takes some of the shine off Styles, Kaz, Morgan, etc. I honestly like Ric Flair as a talking voice, but its weird seeing him as the head of a young group that is rebelling against the older guys.
It's just fucking stupid the way they write their shit.
TNA can't payoff a single angle...I can't recall a good, quality payoff that the company has had. Everything always dissipates...doesn't come to a finite conclusion and in the rare event it does...underwhelming.
I don't know because I really don't watch...but I've got a hypothesis that TNA is falling into the mid-90's WCW habit of inconsistency in regards to storylines because everything is taped. When you tape 2-3 shows then take 2-3 weeks off, then go back to tape 2-3 shows...you are prone to tinker with the script far too much and the result is very herky jerky story telling. It is why you get Sting claiming to "out" Hogan and Bischoff for 8 months while the storyline runs on a treatmill and then you get The Pope being the #1 contender to never get a shot for the title and never recognizing it after one week of him winning said shot (they dedicated an entire PPV to get him over...did nothing with it...NOTHING) or having Samoa Joe being abducted and you never find out why.
Just a ridiculous wrestling product.Comment

Remember when on WWF Superstars back in the day, there was a major "BREAKING NEWS" featuring Mean Gene and in the news bubble right above his head there was a picture of the Berserker's sword stuck in the mat and it because he tried to mortally wound (they didn't say kill) the Undertaker?

Daffney looking damn good. She looks hotter without all the makeup.

Zack Ryder... WWE World Champion Contender.
He promptly had his skull ejected out the back of his head by Sheamus.

He's taken Evan Bourne's job of being Sheamus' Bitch for the night.
Fortunately, Ryder didn't have to suffer through WWE RAW Finisher Ending #97199 tonight as he was already dead on the scene.
I'd also like the hear how the NXT Season 2 Rookies feel about Wade Barrett's title shot this upcoming PPV.
The guy basically formed Nexus so he'd have an army on hand as he took his title opportunity while the rest of them wallowed in the background.Comment
