I don't normally talk about TNA here on EitR because, basically, it's horrible...garbage...non-watchable. ::cough:: Russo ::cough::.
But some...thing caught my eye while browsing the TNAWrestling.com website, besides the annoying voice of one Jeremy Borash on TNA Today (who probably gets less hits then I do daily...and I am a almost-weekly program), and that something was a picture of a smiley face...barbed wire going through the smiley face...and the words "HAVE A NICE DAY!" wriiten on the right side of the picture.
Now, you don't have to be Einstein...or Brooklyn Brawler...to figure out what's going on here. TNA is filled with disgruntled World Wrestling Entertainment and World Wrestling Federation junkies (See: Kevin Nash, Scott Hall, Kurt Angle, Miss Jackie, Sting, Scott Stiener, Davari....Abdul Bashir in TNA, BG and Kip James, Team 3D, Rhino, J-E-Double F J-A-Double R-E-Double T, Matt M...M...M...M...Morgan, Christian Cage, Jim Cornett, Paul "Percy Pringle" Bearer...even though it was only for a short time period and...most importantly....Earl "The Thrill" Hebner) and now you can add one more piece to the never ending...never fitting perfectly...puzzle that is Total Nonstop Action.
If any wrestling promotion, or magazine, or website, or anything of that nature had the equivilent to "You Can't Blame" you would definitely make the case that the point of "You Can't Blame Mic Foley for leaving the World Wrestling Entertainment," however it does not count for the confusingness (look it up in the Urban Dictionary) that we were faced when Mick Foley...went to TNA. I mean, the man that made the second most emotional segment in the movie "Beyond the Mat" (second to Dennis Stamp FINALLY getting booked) is switching companies and going to the Vince Russo express?
You know, it's funny how irony shapes itself. Remember back in the day? RAW was taped and Nitro was live? Remember that one day where Mike Tenay mentioned that Mick Foley won the World title? Then everything fell apart for Mike Tenay's Nitro? Now, Tenay's going to FINALLY call a LIVE match with Mick Foley in it. Must be so exciting seeing the man that, single handedly (sorry Vinnie), took down Monday Night Nitro...Mick Foley.
But, the reason Mickie's my Elephant for this show is because TNA, Vince Russo, and...most of all Mick Foley have a decision to make. Because, remember in that one scene in "Beyond the Mat" where Mick Foley saw the reactions of his kids while watching him get beat up, bloodied, battered, and bruised. Remember he said that when he saw their reaction that his heart sank and, right there, he lost the thrill to become some dangerous...mask wearing....sock packing....tie and sweatpants wearing...one earred...guy that got thrown off the top of the Hell in the Cell in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in the 1998 King of the Ring tourney (p.s. I was there!) that he was doing ever since coming into the world of professional wrestling and stuff like that. What do you do now? Do you make him a manager of Abyss? That would be cool. Do you make him pull a Sabu-like atmosphere and, at every pay per view, wrestle someone in some greuling match that involves C4...steel chairs....steel cage....a pipe...barbed wire....tables....and other cool crap that you can throw into the ring and go beyond what Mick Foley said back in the day? Which, of course, would be cool. Or is it going to be something completely different? We won't know until Mick Foley comes out of that futuristic wrestling entrance and raises his hand as he comes out to something slightly different then the song that he came out to in the World Wrestling Entertainment brand of wrestling.
To be honest, if I see that happen (and trust me that's a reeeeeally BIG IF)...I would just lower my head into my hands just shake my head violently until I forget what I just saw...but, as of right now, Mick Foley and the TNA writing Russos...congradulations you are the first TNA recipiants of the Elephant in the Ring...Have a nice day
