There were these two guys on youtube (Bill and Doug) that gained a huge following, thanks to their "WWE Sucks!  TNA Rules!" videos from 2005.  Those guys really knew what they were talking about and gained recognition from the big guys because of their passion.  At one point, they were even allowed to work for TNA (I think it was called the TNA Fanatics show) and Hulk Hogan even responded about their fantasy booking of a TNA event (the last Bound For Glory, I think.).  After Sunday's PPV, those guys have pretty much said "Fuck TNA."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef2u2Wkdtno&feature=feedu  (Ignore the shitty filter and just listen to the content)

It's amazing how TNA managed to gut their own fanbase in such a short amount of time.  Every time they take a step forward, something happens that makes them fall backwards.

Those guys know their stuff. I agree with almost everything they said, except for Alberto Del Rio. Del Rio might be getting pushed early,but, he's really talented and has mic skills. Sheamus and Swagger got pushed,but, they couldn't stay legit. 

As for TNA, I doubt that SpikeTV will pull the plug on them,but, if it happens I wouldn't be surprised.

I actually met those guys at Lockdown 07 because we got there so early in line, nice guys but they remind me of fanboys on here a bit.

That's what makes them awesome!

I just watched the match and from the time that they actually locked up to the ending of the 3-count it was a grand total of 17 seconds.  Hardy was visibly stoned and when I say stoned I mean on some serious pills or possibly even heroin.  The fans started chanting bullshit as the PPV went off and Sting shouted out, "I agree!"

Hopefully this isn't the beginning of the end for TNA.

Me too--it's on youtube.  I wonder what Bischoff said to Hardy and Sting.  You could see Hardy try to kick out but letting that match go on would have been dangerous and an embarrassment.  I liked Hardy but he has to go.  Wasted potential as a main-eventer, again.

This is the main issue.  Someone could have seriously gotten hurt or even worse, killed. 

How unprofessional on Hardy's part.  If he wants to get messed up that's fine, but do it after the match and not before.  I hope this puts an end to his career.

Of all the people to be his opponent too, Sting.  Isn't he a born again Christian?

Yeah, Sting is a born again Christian and much of their belief system is about forgiveness and second chances.  That's why it's so upsetting when you see the genuinely disappointed look on his face.  

Speaking of which, I may have been a bit harsh in my statement saying that I hope that this ends Jeff's career.  Honestly I hope that he straightens his act out, but unless that happens he shouldn't be let near a wrestling ring.  


Nah.  I think straightening out would nessisitate this ending is career.  The kind of pain wrestlers put themselves through...

^^^I watched the "Top 50 Superstars of All Time"on Netflix this afternoon and Hardy was among them.  They showed a quick highlight reel of his career and goddam that guy put himself through some stuff.  It was like there was nothing he wouldn't jump off of!  I'm not justifying him or anything but I can imagine the guy must be hurting from some of that.  People criticize the WWE's current style of wrestling but I can't imagine somebody doing the kinds of things Hardy did day in and day out and having a long career.  Those guys really do sacrifice their bodies for our entertainment.

Yes and you know that is exactly how he probably got started on pills and other drugs. THe Hardy's and Lita were my first real favorites after Bret Hart. They where The Rockers of the Attitude Era

Is it just me or is Smackdown more entertaining than Raw? Judging by one episode of each.

I use to think that, but they switched Smackdown to a station I dont get.

After it watching last week I thought it was much more entertaining than Raw. Kane and Big show on a tag team. Christian and Edge reunited for the first time in 10 years to beat Alberto Del Rio. There was a couple more matches. Jim Ross but I think I missed that part.
