TNA Marks

I don't want to come off as anti-TNA (and no, I'm not a WWE mark), but after watching the past 2 weeks of TNA Impact on Monday night makes me wonder why hardcore TNA fans think they've already "taken over".

Here's what I saw on Impact that just made me scratch my head:

  • Abyss gets his "monsterous" power from the WWE Hall of Fame ring from Hogan.
  • Pope and Eric Young giving elbows and punches respectively, without making them look even remotely believable.
  • Jimmy Hart pins Brother Ray.
  • Scott Hall wearing a TNA sweatshirt with "Wolfpac" written on it with a Sharpie.
  • Eric Bischoff getting his head shaved yet again on National TV. And you don't think the Bischoff/Hogan era's gonna be a repeat of WCW?
  • Abyss' horrible Hogan impersonation.
  • Ric Flair overdid it by making himself bleed the hard way to open Impact.
  • 5 minute crappy matches, with the exception of the Pope/Angle vs Wolfe/Anderson match and the X-Division guys doing their thing.
  • Story is, Lacey Von Erich is finally starting her wrestling training (via her Twitter account). Finally. I thought in order to really get into wrestling, she would have to train long in advance. Wait a minute. She was in FCW for a second. Didn't she train there? No? No wonder why she was let go.
  • Can Bischoff make up his mind whether or not he wants to be a heel or face? That impassioned plea with Hogan mid-way through the show was really, really overdone.
Need I say more?

TNA marks are making themselves believe that this is the better product. Either that, or they're making themselves want to see something other than WWE.
