Is this shit for real? This stuff is actually happening its like something an 12 year old would script.
If only TNA could afford to hire a 12 year old to write its scripts. It would still make more sense than Russo.

they (challenge) could put xplosion on mondays so iit does not have to be moved to tuesdays at 12am when they have ppv wednesdays.
