Quite the birthday present for Joe.

If nothing else I can copy and paste the stuff for the review and focus a bit more.

So it's a "Best of 2014" episode tonight? Must only be on for a half hour tonight I guess.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

My how far Magnus has fallen, eh?

How long you gonna milk these jokes? This is the same punch line you've been using for like four years now. I'm pretty sure it's time for new material, dude.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Sting... Bad Influence... AJ Styles all on my TNA broadcast right now. Awesome. I miss these boys.

Point well taken. And I guess I have no room to crack jokes about TNA these days. At least you don't have a laptop running your show.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

I don't understand the reference? WWE?

 

[hatehabsforever]

Unfortunately yes.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Don't tell me Michael Cole is answering Anonymous GM emails again?

 

[hatehabsforever]

Yup, for the last two RAW's. Well, parts of them anyway. Brutal.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Ouch. I can only imagine. I think I was still watching when that was still going on, or at least partially. That shit was brutal and annoying as hell.

Also, this best of show is kind of depressing seeing all these guys who are gone from the company now — Bad Influence, Sting, AJ Styles, Bully Ray...

 

[rbv13]

How was the Best Of been? Ive flipped to it a few times and keep catching it at break. A very funny South Park and now Duke are priorities tonight.

 

[hatehabsforever]

Refresh my memory, IDR, when did Sting leave TNA? I'm not being a smart ass, I really don't remember.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Genesis in January was his last official match. He actually left in February, if I recall correctly.

 

[klunderbunker]

*sigh*

It's a best of show. They've had weeks to prepare it. They have like fifteen minutes of new material to make. And they put the wrong date on the graphic.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

LOL. Well, I can't imagine a lot of eyes are on it anyway, KB.

 

[klunderbunker]

I was thinking they screwed up because of the change from Thursday to Wednesday and they just went back and looked up whatever date Thursday fell on, but hten the Hardy vs. Lashley match is correct and that was before the changeover. Stuff like this continues to baffle me about TNA. Shouldn't they have had the dates in front of them when they pulled up the matches?

And before you ask, no this isn't as much of a complaint as much as it is just making me shake my head and say some things never change.

 

[klunderbunker]

Review is up.

TNA In A Nutshell

 

[klunderbunker]

That screwup on the date sums up TNA perfectly:

The action is good, the wrestlers work hard, and the people behind the scenes haven't mastered the art of counting yet.
