Apologies for last weeks hiatus, familial and other social obligations delayed my watching of NXT until Sunday evening.

I let off a bit of steam last week concerning TNA, but after seeing Impact from 24th April I had a smile put back on my face. I personally am now starting to like the way Magnus is being put over now. Gone is the guy that had to have help to win and now …

TNA – The Doppleganger Effect

OK, well anybody that reads my weekly posts will know I am rather fond of watching TNA each week, and you will also know that I have my share of gripes with the company. That being said, I was rather confused with TNA from 17th April. Things had been such a mix up the week …

Another week in wrestling, and once again, TNA steps into the role of WWE tribute band with some aplomb. I know I wrote this article last week, but if TNA can just copy stuff, well so can I. This weeks title is supposed to be ironic… Following the title win of Eric Young last week, …
