They cover the NFL training camp and preseason like it mattered, so...

All of their wrestling coverage is about how it is a staged athletic event. It's not like they haven't covered this shit before. Tyson on WWF was covered, so were Rodman and Mallone on WCW (Leno was too!)

Pretty sure they covered Mayweather versus Show and they've selectively covered events concerning Brock Lesnar since his return.

Yeah, I understand them covering individual matches or segments, but this in theory would be covering the whole event. Like sending a crew out to cover it on-site and hyping it up. Seems like a big leap from just showing a highlight once in a blue moon.

Training camp and preseason matter greatly and ESPN coverage is neither wide nor deep enough to comprehensively report on the goings-on.

Pfft. ESPN used to have enough staff to cover all that plus do Baseball justice in August, which is still the second least busy sports month outside of July.

I remember when that premiered. It was shitty even back then, full of obvious stuff that anyone watching wrasslin could figure out on their own. Plus their finishers are LAME.

The best part of that expose are the fake wrassler names. All American Boy? Skullduggery? These guys could be WMAC Masters!

Yo, who's trying to ruin Christmas in here? You going to tell your 3-year-old kids that dad buys the gifts too?

Of course! I want credit for my hard work! The only reason to teach kids about Santa Claus is so that you don't get that call/note from the teacher saying that your kid ruined Kayfabe in their early educational years.

TNA's done another bunch of matches, all of this and last night's for One Night Onlys, Xplosions, and Impacts. They weren't fucking around with these 8 days of tapings, 2 days in and already 40 matches done

Anyone compiled the spoilers yet? This I gotta see (and promptly forget about unless it is something huge)

Hopefully another talent they bring in can breach contract and we can have more clip shows!

HOLY CRAP.

I wonder if they're actually gonna do BFG this year. Might as well if they're going to do this crazy amount of wrestling. These crowds are going to be GARBAGE.

Wow, why are the Bella's acting so face-ish on Smackdown?
Click to expand...

I guess they want Team Bad to be positioned as the most heel-ish. They've been heels in every match-up. I guess the Bellas are the tweeners in the sense that they are heels compared to Paige's team and faces compared to Team Bad.

As bad as TNA gets, I don't think they'll have a show as bad as New Blood Rising. There was only one redeeming thing on that show, and even it was brought down by a mind-numbingly stupid idea.
