Tbh, your definition of cringe worthy is kind of skewed given that you somehow think they're doing a good job with the Lana/Rusev/Dolph angle, one that I think can easily be called cringe worthy as well.
Could you argue from your tastes it's "terrible" booking: sure. Is there anything about it that's "cringe worthy:" no way.

Did you even see all the Grado segments from the last Impact Wrestling?

No, but what I'm saying is that it's subjective. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's not good. A lot of people loved Eric Young and Santino's comedy acts. Are they all wrong because you didn't feel the same way?

Also, the entire Lana/Rusev/Dolph thing is totally cringe worthy, at least to me. None of the people involved can act worth a damn and I don't give a crap about the story. However, again, it's all purely subjective.

I'm not saying everyone is going to dislike the Grado character, but from what seen, a good chunk of the audience is at the very least annoyed with him. Which is the point by the way; he's not meant to be the entertaining sideshow, at the very least I can recognize that EY had his entertaining qualities. Grado so far has been annoying for the sake of annoying.

I never said I thought it was Shakespeare and for the most part not a lot has happened with it after Rusev got hurt, but I wouldn't put it on any of my wrestling crap lists. It is all subjective, though, I'll give you that.

I implore you to youtube the Grado segments, because I think you'll find it grating as well.

Grado has not entertained me. I did chuckle during the one triple threat match where he tripped up one of his opponents though. Of course that isn't making me want to see more of him, but props to him I guess. :lol:

Thoughts on the new X Division Title? Isn't it just lime green now? And why is that better than blue? Isn't blue the theme now?

I don't like it better than the blue. I'm not saying the blue is better than the green either. Both are terrible.

why green?
The only reason I can think of is to match the X Division hype video. I noticed a month or so ago they would air it before each match and it had a green hue to it.

It's literally the exact same title except green. TNA are literally grasping at straws right now.

Yeah I don't get it either, rather see the old X-Division return now that was a sweet design.
