Good guy Don. I'd watch him shilling sports cards in the 90s on the Shop At Home network just because he was so entertaining and over the top doing it.

TNA fucking sucked. When I watched it, it was a bunch of old washed up fuckers. Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Sting (wearing Heath Ledger Joker makeup), The Dudley Boys, Jeff Hardy, Jeff Jarrett, (hilariously emaciated) Kurt Angle, etc. The other wrestlers that weren't big names were actually kind of awesome but they never used them. It was constantly old guys on the mic. They'd blow their budget on Hulk Hogan's entrance pyro, he'd come out and just fucking ramble for (I'm not exaggerating) like 25 minutes. They'd go to commercial, come back and this fucking retard is still just screaming a bunch of nonsense that he's obviously making up as he goes. Then Sting or Flair would come out and talk for 10 more minutes and then there would be a short women's match (all of the women in TNA were fucking gross whores). It also seemed like Ric Flair would cry every time he got on the mic.

It was just embarrassing to watch. It reminded me of like really, really shitty improv sketches or something. Like they would have the vaguest idea and then try to make it an hour of the show. Hogan and Flair screaming and crying nonsense off the top of their heads. Kurt Angle being visibly depressed, losing all his muscle and looking unhealthy because Jeff Jarrett stole his family (lol). Jeff Hardy being obviously fucking wasted all the time. The gayest of all was Sting doing the Joker thing. It's as embarrassing as that "I'm da Jokah, baby!" thing. And all that shit is all I remember because there was maybe like 10 minutes of wrestling in the show. It was just old, brain damaged improv theater.

The Hulkster would never turn away money, brother. So that's why I did it. But TNA is what WCW was in it's dying days, and somehow lasted eight years.
