if a 2-hour show featuring an entire roster can't do better ratings on a monday than a 1-hour show with 16 people on a tuesday, then that's saying something

Hmm? Oh, sorry, I thought we were still doing TNA's excuses for why they're losing.
I'm actually impressed with how well TNA is doing. Hell, they went up against the WWE on their monday night Raw timeslot with a Russo handicap, not to mention all the other handicaps they've given themselves. All these problems we're seeing? Those aren't their stupidity, those are TNA giving the WWE a fighting chance.

The problem with that:
TNA: "You write retarded."
WWE: "Yes, sometimes."
TNA: "Then I must write retarded as well. I hate to be unfair."
WWE: "That's very gracious of you."
*later, during the fight*
TNA: "Well done. For all the retardedness, you have quite a good product. You're actually beating us."
WWE: "Yes, but you're smiling. Why?"
TNA: "I am not retarded."
And we all know how that ends...
WWE: "Amazing! To think that all this was hidden by your retarded writing!"
TNA: "Yes! Now you understand why I wrote retarded to start."
Nobody should have expected them to start winning at any point early on. Fuck, Hogan didn't automatically even mean a win for WCW in ratings.
What they need to do is start before RAW or exactly the same time, fire Russo, and stop replaying it on Thursday. Thursday needs to become it's own show.
They also need to make an actual community part of their site. It's fucking pathetic that the biggest TNA forum is on WWE.com

Spike probably won't let that happen until Monday's ratings pick up, which they won't until the product drastically improves...or they kill Thursday's repeat. Which won't happen until...so they're kind of in a bind.
And yeah, another second gen son turns on his dad angle. Woooo.
Well, they had friction when Sr. hosted Raw that time, so I'd call it more of an "ongoing dynamic" than an angle. Seems the elder Ted wants to help his boy, but the younger has some sort of resentment or issues going on.
HOLY SHIT! What happened to Nattie's Boobs? They got HUGE!!!! Sigh.
Was there ever a time when they weren't?
About Orton/Cena, I wish we'd seen the RKO Adjustment again.
As for Shawn... well, I owe him a debt I can never repay. And while his send-off was great (and interestingly, a lot lower-key than Flair's, I'd say), and he put on a great match at WrestleMania... I'll be honest. I really, really do not like this last story he was in. Pretty much loathe it, in fact.

Check out the WWE main page today for the Daily Diva and new Power 25 topper!
Eh, the April's fools day stuff at wwe.com would be a lot better if they didn't just outright say "April's Fools" in the descriptions for Power 25 and Daily diva.
Though I must say, Mae Young reminds me of the Slim Jim segment at WM26 and how Santino, Mae Young and Mean Gene (shudder) saved it.
That actually surprises me. I would have figured that with how well known Chris Jericho is that having him on the jury would almost in and of itself distract from the trial. That also must be a pretty big trial for it to be a six week minimum and sequestered jury. I can now either see him with a smirk on his face the entire trial, going over his thesaurus words, or him going crazy stuck in a room with at least one insane wrestling fan.

Not sure. He made a deal about how he didn't like how Rock "abandoned" wrestling for Hollywood a while back.
But at that point he also didn't have that many movies.
which means a show with only 8 rookies and 8 pros on it is doing better than a show with tna's entire roster
words can't describe how giddy this makes me

There's no specific show NXT is competing against, though. There is no Tuesday Night Slapfight to go along with the Monday Night Curbstomp.
it's the thought that counts

Huh. Well that explains it.
I want to know more PA people on Twitter.
If he didn't have jury duty, I mean. His commitment to the American justice system precludes all of that. Even if he is Canadian.

Knowing my history with links, I'm probably the only one who can see it.
Edit: Yeah, yeah. Didn't even bother to check.
"Exhibit 27: ARMBAR!"
I want to but fear it wouldn't be witty enough
