Every so often, @TomBlargh will look at some of the awful merch that someone expects you to buy. Up this time: TNA Summer Special.
I’ve covered TNA on The Merch Table a few times before (here, here and here, in case you were curious), but I keep coming back to them. They’re just so much more interesting than WWE!
For one, while WWE merch generally seems like it’s been focus grouped and market-tested to the point that it’s all broadly acceptable and boring as fuck, TNA stuff comes across as completely unsupervised. What’s more, they have unmoderated reviews for pretty much every single piece of merch, which adds another delicious dash of madness to everything. LET’S GET STARTED.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT ANYONE SHOULD BE WEARING, LEAST OF ALL WRESTLING FANS. Let’s see what the reviews have to say!
Remy, are you talking from some experience here? Can we confirm Remy as a REAL creepy bastard?!?! Regardless, I think I can concur with him: WORSE. SHIRT. EVER.
God bless Jeff Hardy for convincing a company to let him run around as his high school art project on national television, and God bless TNA for trying to sell an umbrella for $40. Unsurprisingly, the response has been a little mixed:
“Dudes make money off ass holes” THAT’S CALLED CAPITALISM BROTHER, FUCK OFF BACK TO RUSSIA IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT.
Honestly, I can’t see “be triangular” taking off as a catchphrase, but bless him for trying.
“Titantium or something that will last for centuries”, mate, sit down. Continue reading
Only @JoeySplashwater is here for this TNA Sacrifice preview as I wasn’t aware there was a PPV until yesterday and didn’t feel the need to bother Tim-Tom for a show this insignificant on such short notice so here goes my best attempt.
I will not be watching the show due to going head to head with NBA playoffs but perhaps I’ll catch a replay. Either way, here are my thoughts on the event.
Joey:
I like Eric Young a lot and always felt TNA did him wrong as he’s gotten over on numerous occasions in different spots, always finding a way to entertain. The fact that he’s champ and it feels lame as can be says all you need to know with TNA blatantly copying the Daniel Bryan path. Sucks for EY but hopefully he gets a decent title reign.
Sadly, I don’t see the reign continuing. TNA has a weird track record of having “feel good” moments of surprise title wins like Rhino and James Storm only to have them drop the belt weeks later. I’ve watched some recent YouTube TNA uploads of IMPACT segments and it seems they’re teasing Abyss turning on Magnus. TNA also has a love for pointless swerves. Abyss helps Magnus win here.
Interest Level: 4/10
Prediction: Magnus wins.
Joey:
Actually am very interested in this one. The Bro Mans and DJ Zema are the most underrated act in wrestling. I kind of hope they retain but doubt it as The Wolves are prime to get a long run with the belts soon. The match should be very fun.
Interest Level: 8/10
Prediction: The Wolves win.
