The Katz Files – Arnie Katz
My Weekly TNA Notebook
The Kingfish Arnie Katz wrestles with some of the major issues raise by TNA’s weekly TV show.
An Ode to the Cluster Schmazz
When in doubt, goes the conventional booking wisdom, send out everyone and let them brawl. That’s the type of thinking that inspired one of the most amazing, “everybody in” donnybrook that lit up the 8/6 edition of iMPACT.
The industry term for this kind of action is “cluster schmazz.” Well, it’s actually a bit more colorful; it’s a word that rhymes with “luck,” “duck,” “much” and “pluck.”
About the only way if could have gotten wilder would’ve been to have Mike Tenay, Don West and Jeremy Borash to assault each other in an announcers three-way dance.
The breathless action of a cluster schmazz of this magnitude is riveting while it is happening, but it seldom adds up to very much. TNA talent did pair off against their current foes, but it’s hard to point to any storyline advancement coming out of it.
Well, sometimes the big picture has to wait on the back burner.. That was one fantastic pier-six brawl, wasn’t it?
