Ain't nobody talking about TNA...or so it seems. Now James Guttman looks at why that is and how TNA's at the point we all feared they would. Including the worst parts of today's shows, how TNA burned everyone with their game changers, why the loss of Vince Russo may have ironically hurt them with die hard fans, the authority figure storylines, why they're written and why some people can't let go, your weird pantsless friend Larry throwing up on people at the movies, the next big moment that would get TNA attention, why there's irony in that too, Corey Letson's "This Week in TNA" Reports, and more.
