That Matt Hardy thing was unnecessary. That was kind of bad taste.

Just a couple of days after the premature and tragic death of one of the all time greats, you spend four minutes on a Ring Extra trying to imitate a nobody like Matt Hardy. Where was your tribute to Macho Man Randy Savage? I guess you can take the red neck out of Dundalk but, you can't take Dundalk out of the red neck.

RESPONSE FROM KE: Well, that was very insulting. Anyway, I posted a Savage video the night he died. Here's the link:

I also wrote a lengthy tribute piece the night he died.Here's the link:

Now Eck, this has to have been a calculated move, it wreaks of a work and you KNOW mister glassey eyes himself is gonna take shots back. (Verbal shots in addition to whatevers in his freezer chilling)

That line about Hardy's eyes being messed up because he was staring at the lights all those years in WWE was pure gold. Gold, I say! Well done, Kev

I agree, get rid of the TNA name and go with Impact Wrestling. It's clean, it's obvious what it is, and it's actually a no-brainer. It makes too much sense, but that's why they'll probably not do it.

And I've been saying it forever, stop putting the 40 and 50 somethings and ex-WWE guys at the top of the card. They don't sell pay per views or improve the ratings, so what's the point. Push the young guys while they are still young.

This is a fantastic criticism of what TNA is doing----and for those mad about the parody of Matt Hardy---I think it's funny and accurate---Matt has for a long time attempted to use the communication potential of the internet to try to put himself over--instead of doing it on-screen and in the ring--which as a wrestler is where he should be focusing his efforts.
"IMPACT Wrestling" is playing the McMahon trick. Be flashy and fast and slick-and see if anyone notices that you aren't providing any real substance. Sadly, a lot of people don't.

I'm amazed that people were actually offended by the bit on Matt Hardy. It was funny and spot on. Matt needs a wake-up call, imo.
