Wrestling and such

First, a comment about TNA in general.
Dear people in charge, when WWE and their 3 second attention span have longer matches than you, and longer women's and cruiserweight matches at that, you have problems. And they are deep-rooted.
That being said, if you put more X-division matches on and actually start a decent women's division, I may forgive you.
AJ, Tomko, Christian and Jeremy Borash are ridiculously entertaining. Matt Morgan's hair is merely ridiculous.
Am I the only one who remembers a rather good match that resulted in XXX not being allowed to wrestle as such ever again in TNA? At Turning Point I believe. Now I realise that it was a couple of years ago, but still, people remember. Or are they getting round it by saying that only Low-Ki and Skipper are in XXX now?
Black Reign is plain old freaky. Although I love that Eric Young came out to rescue Shark-Boy, and he kept his face covered while he was rescuing him because he knew that Sharkboy would rather get beaten up than reveal his face, and why, oh why is my inbox not deluged with Sharkboy/Eric Young fic and/or gen fic about them.
Things that are quite worrying - my Grandmother marked out for the return of Rikishi.
The whole 'OMG he hit Karen' angle would probably work better if I could believe that Angle would believe that Sting, who I don't recall ever playing a bad guy, would hit a woman. Really, would anyone believe that?
On to non-spoilery TNA news 'The Voodoo Queen' Roxy Le Beau, long lost relative of Gambit or not, and is that a cross-over the world really needs never to see?
Was that a women's match? That went on for more than 5 minutes? And was passably good. And had Victoria wrestling in the weirdest outfit ever. Also, what is the deal with her and Kenny Dykstra? Or is it best not to probe to closely?
I see that Chuck Palumbo is the most recent person to get given a girl to try and get him over. Not that I'm complaining, I approve of having Palumbo on my TV. I'm also intrigued by how they're positioning Michelle McCool.
I know who I'm cheering for in the Diva Search thingy. I think her name is Lyndzy or something similar. Anyhow, her video showed her playing rugby which for me is as good a reason as any.
There was a cruiserweight match. On TV. That got more than three seconds. If having Khali in the main event means I get this regularly, I approve. It also featured Shannon Moore outsmarting someone, which I think is a sign of the impending apocalypse.
Given that it was also a show that featured Matt Hardy not only outsmarting someone but stealing the show, I think I should change that from impending to actually happening apocalypse.
Smackdown was decent. Impact was a mess.
