REALLY?!?!?! with CB – The Summer of Live Impact, Starring ZOMG Brooke Hogan!!!!

Columns, Top Story

Really, TNA? You think it’s the best idea ever to bring in Brooke Hogan and make her a cornerstone of the summer of live Impact, really?!?!

Really, do you not remember how that whole Garrett Bischoff thing worked out, or Bubba the Love Sponge, or The Nasty Boys, or any other of Hogan and Bischoff’s friends, really?!?!

Really, do you not grasp how horrible of an idea it is to take THIS version of Impact Wrestling and make it a live show, with dead Impact Zone crowds, blown spots from Jeff Hardy, extended microphone babbling from Hulk Hogan and Knockouts whose matches can’t even look good when edited, really?!?!

Really, do you not understand that the gimmick of going live means nothing if you aren’t going to change the entire culture of the show where wrestling actually ***does*** matter, really?!?!

Speaking of wrestling matters, can I emphasize that Brooke Hogan becoming a full-time non-wrestling personality in a show already filled with non-wrestling personalities and your best wrestler being locked  in with a soap opera storyline affair with the bumbling company owner is not a great way to emphasize wrestling. Do you not get that, really?!?!

Really, Dixie Carter, your only big idea is to bring in another Hogan after the first one didn’t pan out too well and has become a time-sucking waste of money and resources, really?!?!

And unless you are rehiring Scott Steiner and giving him a live open mic to shoot on the Hogans — or acquiring everyone in ROH — this is just bound to be a disaster, really!!!!

I just don’t see it, TNA.
