There's been plenty of talk the past month or so about TNA moving Impact to Monday nights to go head to head with WWE's Raw and what it all means, but there's one aspect of the new Monday Night War that hasn't been discussed: How does this affect me?
I have mixed feelings about the move. As a wrestling fan, I think the competition is going to make for some interesting developments and hopefully bring out the best in both companies. However, my quality of life is going to take a hit.My days off as an assistant sports editor at The Baltimore Sun fluctuate (Ring Posts rarely takes a day off), and I often work late Mondays. Tonight, for instance, I won't get home until after both shows have ended.
That means I will have four hours of wrestling (actually a little less since I fast-forward through the commercials) to watch on tape. Then, of course, I have to write a couple blog posts with my in-depth thoughts on each show. What makes matters even worse is that the only television show that I never miss that isn't wrestling also comes on at 9 p.m. on Mondays – "24." Thank God for hulu.com.
Looking on the bright side, I will now only have one hour of wrestling to watch on Thursdays instead of three.
I know no one reading this cares about my plight, but, hey, what good is having a blog if you can't use it to vent?
