Is TNA the worst wrestling promotion in history?

[El-P]

Having lived through an abusive relationship for ten years (I made some references to it on this board before, including as I was still knee deep in it), the few I've watched of the text messages (not going through the whole thing, thank you very much, I get enough triggers) indeed checks many boxes : the emotional abuse, the physical abuse, the demeaning, the double constraints, the gaslighting... All my sympathies goes to Akira, hopefully he has a good support system, because this shit sucks and can and will fuck you up.

As far as Masha goes, well, hopefully she can get some help too and fix her issues and whatnot, because that is *very wrong*. In the meantime, fuck her though.

(really enjoyed her work and wanted her in AEW before. Well, thank you but no thank you)

Her match with Ash by Elegance has been pulled from Victory Road and she's been dropped from her bookings by Prestige, West Coast Pro, GCW, and Athena's next MPX event. Looks like she's done for.

Labor of Love in Philly also pulled her for a booking I don't think they even officially announced.

Yeah she's pretty much cooked. Karma backlash for ya...

Meanwhile, the talk about TNA becoming #2 as soon as they get the infamous "great TV deal" is hilarious. People are just not watching the product at all. The weekly TV tapings are not doing great *at all*, and apart from a few spots here and there (Leon Slater, Dani Luna, Mustafa Ali despite the idiotic gimmick), the product is really mid at best and dreadful at worst. The woman title match at BFG will end up being Ash vs Indi Hartwell and holy shit that looks horrendous on paper. And speaking of which, Hardys vs Team 3D in a tables match... that is Corgan's NWA level of fucked. And Joe Hendry is so far removed now that he did not even take part in the "invasion" angle of NXT (I won't miss him one bit though, and that ship has sailed even for the TNA audience it seems). That Santana coronation is happening months too late and in the wrong place, and who knows when he just ends up in NXT himself. Yeah, N#2 company soon...

And now Ash is going away because "life threw her a curveball", and from the mood of the interview she did, it doesn't seem to be the good kind at all. Not making any reference to a comeback either, she just said she couldn't compete anymore and was stepping away, and thanked the fans basically in a very much "out of character" way, and looked very emotional. Hopefully she will be ok.

As much as she still wasn't that good in term of pure in-ring, the fact she just went 300% with the Ash by Elegance character made her one of the most regularly entertaining part of TNA these last few years because how ridiculous she got in every situation. She certainly is one of the last "come to TNA and totally reinvent yourself" talent they got and was excellent at it (after that point, most just came in doing the same old stuff they were doing before). I certainly gonna miss her ridiculous self on my wrestling TV.
