VIP - MITCHELL'S MEMO: I Have Some Questions About TNA (PWTorch Newsletter #992) Sep 26, 2007 - 4:15:03 PM
VIP EXCLUSIVE - Early-release article from PWTorch Newsletter #992...

Original Headline: "I Have Some Questions About TNA"

I know TNA has got their much coveted two-hours-in-a-row-on-the-same-night-each-and-every-week-no-excuses-this-is-the-one-television show starting next Thursday night and, well, I think it would be helpful if they could clear up some questions before the big era begins.
To wit:
--Dr. Nash says that all TNA saw for the last two years was the "sleeping dog Sting," but now Kurt and Karen Angle have kicked that dog and now the "mean" Sting is awake. Does TNA have to pay more money to Sting now?
--What did Dr. Nash dip his head in to get his hair to look like that?
--Seeing as how Vince Russo wrote up a character named Judas (the) Messiah straight up from "hell," a demon who eats broken glass, is it safe to assume his loud religious conversion wore off?
--Who makes those black vinyl bodysuits for TNA's new wrestlers and what Tampa adult bookstore do they usually work for?
--Or is it God's plan for Vince Russo to remain the worst wrestling booker of the modern era without any consequence?
--Is Abyss still under the ring? Did he already lose his feud with Judas? Is that why a new feud with Rhyno started in Judas's very first match? Can someone check under the ring and see?
--How come they remember the NWO and the Crow Sting who made their lives a living hell for two years, but they pretend that Christian has never been pinned or made to submit? Which is it?
