A little shorter than normal, but we’re back with the weekend Bryan & Vinny Show! We’ve still got very detailed reviews of ECW and TNA, the latter of which was one of those shows that sent me into a blind rage. We’ll talk unenforced rules, goofy stipulations, confusing booking, wrestlers who are terrible bookers getting power, characters nobody could possibly care about or like, and more. At least I’m going to Disney this weekend, and on the opposite coast from the Impact Zone.
