2 Guys Watching Wrestling

As Mike Wendt and Rich Ellison have pointed out many times in this run of NWA TNA, when they tape two shows back-to-back from "The Asylum" the 2nd show is always running in low-power mode. Road Dogg (aka BG James) and X-Pac (aka Syxx-Pac) are really, sort of, but not really mad at Low Ki. They might also think he's great. It's super confusing. Goldylocks ALMOST went an entire episode without some form of verbal assault... almost. Brian Lawler is a main eventer... let that sink in. Plus, AJ Styles and Jerry Lynn seem to be destined to fight forever. All that and more on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling.

TNA is determined to make AJ Styles the King of the 2 out of 3 Falls Borefests! BG James is having a rough time letting go of Road Dogg. Jorge Estrada is upset that Sonny Siaki cost The Flying Elvises a security deposit on their Party City costumes. All that and more on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling.

It appears like NWA TNA has found a few dollars. Scott Hall is back and he's brought Syxx-Pac along with him. Buff Bagwell is back and has forgotten that he stopped using the name "Buff." BG James has arrived with a ridiculous hair choice. Some young kid named CM Punk gets a shot at the big time. All that and more on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling.

Week 11 of NWA TNA from 2002 has Mike Wendt and Rich Ellison a little confused. Despite Goldylocks still being verbally assaulted, Jeff Jarrett bloodying another senior citizen, and lots of X-Division matches... this week oddly seems like a well formatted show. Don't worry... it's still a mess, and Mike and Rich are here to break it all down on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling.

It appears Vince Russo was given Week 10 off... because this is a straight up wrestling show. Mike Wendt and Rich Ellison breakdown the lack of storylines and shenanigans, in favor of multiple elimination and 2 out of 3 falls matches. Plus, the main event is a 10min "Iron Man" match that's the 2nd shortest match of the show. All that and so much more on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling. 

Week 9 of NWA TNA's weekly PPVs from 2002 is here and Mike Wendt and Rich Ellison are watching it so you don't have to. The Nashville barn that TNA is wrestling out of is officially dubbed "The Asylum." Ron "The Truth" Killings is the new NWA Heavyweight Champion. The X-Division is an overbooked mess. Monty Brown is POUNCing everyone in sight. Jeff Jarrett has apparently "done something" to Brian Lawler. And our boy, Bill Behrens is back with a ridiculous hat! All that and so much more on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling. 

This week Mike Wendt and Rich Ellison take you through Weeks 7 & 8 of NWA TNA's weekly PPVs from 2002. All the flips and dives of the X-Division can't compare to the fact the Jeff Jarrett took out an active shooter with a steel chair! Disco Inferno has a new talk show and it doubles down on the mistreatment of Goldylocks. The Dupps start the strangest Hardcore Division ever. Plus, the 4th NWA Authority Figure is Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat... and he's not doing much better than the previous ones. All that and so much more on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling. 

Another week of uncomfortableness is in store as Mike Wendt and Rich Ellison take you through Weeks 5 & 6 of NWA TNA's original run in 2002. Thing seem to continue to get worse for poor Goldylocks and the rest of the women in TNA. K-Krush wants to be known as "The Truth" and takes his matches to a very dark place with the help of his trusty belt. Ken Shamrock doesn't seem to understand the role of a babyface. The announce team appears to be completely in the dark on everything. Plus, Jeff Jarrett has been suspended for 60 days at least three times in the last two weeks (you do the math). All that and so much more on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling. 

Strap in for Weeks 3 & 4 of NWA TNA's Weekly PPVs! Mike Wendt and Rich Ellison try their hardest to make heads or tails out of this carnival ride that Jarrett and crew are taking us on. Brian Lawler hates his dad, Jeff Jarrett hates old people, R-Truth/K-Krush hates NASCAR, and EVERYONE is down right awful towards Goldilocks. All that and so much more on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling. 

Due to the WWE Network's back catalog not being transferred to Peacock til late summer, Mike Wendt and Rich Ellison have pivoted to keep this train wreck rolling! Get ready for NWA TNA: The Asylum Years! The year is 2002 and Jeff Jarrett has started his own pro wrestling company, Total Nonstop Action... TNA... GET IT?! The original TNA aired on pay-per-view every week for $9.95 and they were very much a mess. Mike and Rich pilot this ship of insanity for the first two weeks of the original TNA on 2 Guys Watching Wrestling.
