Hello folks. I know it's been a few weeks, but they have been a doozy of a few weeks. First, my uncle died. No joke.   Then I come back to Mississippi with no internet, a negative bank account, and this morning I woke up to a flat tire. Times is hard. Oh well, it's the way things go. Sometimes God gives you a break, and sometimes he hates your guts.

I know this is old news, but I do want to say a few things about TNA's Monday night Impact. The best moment of the night for me was Jeff Jarrett's speech. I found it heartfelt and honest. I know this isn't how it was supposed to come across, because then Hogan got on the big screen and shat on Jeff's parade. Hogan really came across as a heel during this segment. I have all of those old Wednesday night PVP's on VHS and I look back on them fondly. There was some good stuff there. There was some crap too, but I enjoyed them. So basically, Hogan pissed me off right from the start. TNA fans have some issues with Jarrett, but I don't think they want Hogan coming in and pointing them out. People who have watched from the start really don't want to see Hogan piss on it.

I sort of enjoyed this show, though there were some problems. Obviously, too many surprises too soon. I love surprises, but they wheeled out every old geezer in the book. I kept waiting for Steve “Mongo” McMicheal to show up. Look, I have no idea if he's dead or not. If he is, sorry.

The Bret Hart stuff wasn't bad either.

The Rock was on Letterman. He introduced his new gimmick, “The Intern.”   Things just got ugly after that. However, he did say he'd like to guest host RAW.   Speaking of Letterman, Conan O'Brien got screwed! Fuck Leno.

I don't know how to fix a tire. Did I mention that?

At least TNA seems to be pushing Angle, Styles and Joe. That's a good move. More of that, less of Hogan's mug on the big screen and less of Bischoff smirking and talking about how much of a busy man Hogan is.   You know, at first I thought I'd do Dixie Carter, but now I'm not sure. Some days she's fine, some days she's at least a six pack.

The ever changing doability of Dixie Carter.

So now TNA is trying to tell their fans how to react during television tapings. This is, to quote TNA fans, bullshit. The fans are one of the best things about the show. I loved it during that opening cage match on the Monday night show when they all started chanting about how much bullshit the match was. Was it even possible to get out of that cage? The entire thing looked awkward. I thought I'd tuned into another rerun of Beyond the Thunder Dome. I hope they don't bring that thing back.

What the hell is a Love Sponge? Don't they use those to clean up after a porno shoot?

No more six-sided ring, huh? It's about time they listened to me. Then again, it was finally starting to grow on me. Val Venis beat Christopher Daniels. Jesus H. Christ. Why did you do this to me, Genesis. Mr. Anderson...can you just change your last name like that?   I guess so.   Fine, I'm Mr. Yukowski. Yet, another surprise from TNA. Space them out a bit, boys. At least Styles and Angles delivered again.

I don't know if I'm a fan of the new TNA or not. It has some major kinks to work out. I'm interested in it, however. I want to tune it to see if it's going to be a train wreck or a hell of a show. That's something.
