Superstar Scott SandarsThe Bubba The Love Sponge Saga - TNA in disarray
January 23rd 2010 13:46
Watching TNA Impact I am beginning to wonder, why TNA, why bring in The Nasty Boys, and Bubba The Love Sponge? You have effectivity lost two talented female wrestlers, and angered many others to bring in a friend of Hogans? Seriously if I see anymore of Hogans friends, namely one Ed Leslie who I saw work the worst match in my life, in person. Yes, Ed, when you worked that Superstars of Wrestling Tour in Australia back in 2000 against Barbarian you had the worst match I have ever had the mispleasure of seeing, and as I sat there watching this match I thought “Is there a man backstage with a drum?” as they hit the canvas, it was that bad.
Blown moves everywhere, the match was so bad that Kennel From Hell was barable, thankfully after 5 minutes and that was the end of that nightmare forever. Now Hogan is in TNA, his friends are getting jobs, well some I mean, right now Leslie who has more failed gimmicks then Paris Hilton has IQ Tests has not been signed, we haven't seen other members of the “We know Hogan we get a job” gang. But we do have Bubba The Love Sponge, a guy who being in Australia we do not have to suffer at all, unless we activity search out this guy working there. The worst of all is he can make comments that he did, now without defending Awesome Kong, his comments from a strictly business point of view were stupid. Every wrestling news site reported what he said, everyone knows what he said and now TNA has to weather the shit storm.
But when Kong attacked him, I really cannot say that I sat there and shed a tear for him, I didn't think “Aw poor Bubba was attacked!” no I sat there thinking, well you are lucky to only have one person attack you. Now he, and Hogan are making this an angle, making this a topic of a radio show and to me I feel sick knowing this guy still has a job in a company that I have grown to like. Sure TNA has a lot of problems, TNA has a lot of work there they do need to do, but now this guy is making comments, I ask again, why TNA? Why are you allowing this guy who clearly isn't worth the time or the effort, and let's face it, if he was not Hogan's friend people would have said “Who gives a crap about Bubba?” Why employ him still?
Alissa Flash (Cheerleader Melissa/Melissa Anderon) and Awesome Kong are gone according to news sites and I cannot blame them one bit. I wouldn't want to work with a guy that wants to make stupid comments around the place, and not think about anyone but himself. From day one there has been problems with Bubba, and there will remain more problems. He says he hates the wrestling business, well Bubba, the business hates you too. Wrestling has it's fair share of douchebags, and now it looks like we have another.
Another thing that bothers me about TNA, is their confusing booking, I am glad that their production team has an idea of what is going on in this company, because I read the spoilers and I needed a codebreaker (no not the Chris Jericho move, although maybe someone needs one of them at TNA.) no I needed someone to break the TNA booking code. But then we had the Orlando Screwjob by Hebner, welcome to 2010, we're only pretending it's 1997 because we're confused as well.
TNA are soon going to be called World Clueless Wrestling, or We're Confused Too but this is starting to drive me nuts. You have a company with so much potential, but continues to piss it away with an array of bad booking decisions, bad signings (Yes, I am looking at you Knobs, and Sags.) and just poor business decisions as well. Now I was fearing this with TNA I had feared that there was going to stupid ideas, stupid gimmicks, and stupid gimmick matches that make the whole world confused, well guess what? Russo made the world see why he should be sacked and never allowed to write for a soap opera. He makes the people that write Days of Our Lives look good, he's so bad people are watching TNA not because they are looking for entertainment they just want to see how he can stuff up this time.
It is pretty sad when you have a person there that's making you a joke, clearly no one has learned from WCW, they just say they do because they loved to hear themselves talk and try to put our minds at ease. It has only taken less then a month for this to annoy the hell out of me, I expected longer but I guess I had too much faith in people. Someone needs to clean this mess up, clearly it's not going to be anyone at TNA right now.
Maybe TNA needs to give me a job, bring me in there as a junior and I can help them rebook and rewrite the shows. You want to prevent the past happening again? Well you really need to get rid of the two men that were the cause. That means Ed Ferrera, and Vince Russo can pack up their little notes and go home. Russo can go back to NWA Cyberspace, or wherever he was causing havoc, and Ed, well no one cares where he goes.
Bring in Paul Heyman as a booker/writer, bring in Mike Bucci as a scout for the Indies, or hell, let me give that a go as well. Now let's book TNA for a bit, PPV time, you have AJ Styles as a heel, well he and Flair can beat down whoever his opponent for Against All Odds will be, and then bring back Hardy into TNA, and have him battle Styles for the Title, you have a guy who is very popular now, and he's a free agent and all, use him for your PPV. Take advantage of Jeff Hardy who can be a good asset for the company, or even find a way to bring in Rob Van Dam, or a major shock a last run for Booker T, without him doing his mixed accents which he started to forget what the hell he was meant to be.
Or if you really want to do this Homicide/Hardy storyline, bring Hardy back as Suicide for one night, who knows it could be entertaining I am sure Homicide and Hardy will work well together. Now we have Kendrick I would like to see him redo his The Brian Kendrick angle, sure he probably cannot call himself The Brian Kendrick, but you can make him a bit of a loose cannon in the company, he can be a good asset there for TNA as well.
Bring in Paul London as well, make him and Kendrick heels who are cocky, and think they are the best in TNA, have them battle teams like Generation Me, MCMC, and others, you can also bring in maybe Petey Williams, and a new partner, and have them as a heel team, hell maybe Kendrick, London, Williams, can be their own stable.
There are so many possibilities that can be done, just need someone that has an idea or two but the X Division should be a focus, TNA should also focus on the Knockouts too, and losing the two they have, has made me sad for the company because they had a good thing going with them and they brought in Bubba and it was pissed away. I hope there is a good ending here and when Bubba goes they can come back and TNA can grow, at the moment TNA seems to be a bit in disarray.
