Hi. The saga continues, ladies and gentlemen:
First off, let me clarify something for the friend of mine who emailed me, and more importantly, no offense intended, my lovely wife.
I know it's spelled W - A - L - M - A - R - T.
If I spelled it the way I wanted to, Paul Nemer would fire me on the spot.
Ok. Now, since I published my initial post, I have received 22 replies from 14 different cities around the world. Do you know how many people have been able to purchase this piece? Five. 5 people, and one, technically, doesn't count, because my friend Drake from South Dakota ordered it from the web one week prior to its release, and got it on its release date.
But, here's where things get funny. The four cities where people have been lucky have been
Knoxville, Tennessee
Rockford, Illinois
Cary, North Carolina
San Antonio, Texas
Ok.. Now, here's the list of cities I have received reports from that can't find the DVD package to save their lives.
Corltand, Ohio
Gloucester, Virginia
San Francisco, California
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Austin/Houston, Texas
Newark, Ohio
Staten Island, New York
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE
Someone explain this to me. Knoxville has it, but the birthplace of TNA doesn't. Do you guys see a pattern here, cause I don't. Navarre distribution's website has no listing of this box set from TNA entertainment, and there is no pattern as to who gets it, and who doesn't. I even went so far as to go to another Wal Mart today, (how's the spelling, darling?), out in Centereach, Long Island. I SHOWED THEM THE PAGE ON THE WEB, which by the way says the item is in stock, but we all know how much of a crock of garbage that can be....
You know what this guy's response is...
"We don't carry TNA!"
Isn't that rich. Wall Mart exclusive, yet, I have received at least four to five emails from readers who have told me that anyone they have asked from this so called store has the brain of an amoeba, and the knowledge of a crustacean when it comes to pro wrestling. They can talk about some of the other ridiculous garbage television spews out, but for the hardcore psychos like the people reading this column, nobody seems to have a clue.
Even one friend of mine said the person he asked over there thought he was talking about T&A wrestling, like some sort of pornographic material.
It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some things can turn out. And TNA MESSED UP dealing with Wal Mart. Big time.
Keep the emails coming guys. I will publish some of them in the near future.
Click here to drop a dime.
Quick note. A good friend with connections is also looking in to this matter. If he comes up with some more swag on the subject, I'll publish it ASAP.
Kimosabe, SUMO!?!?!?
I'm so upset about this, I forgot to sign off chapter 54 the right way. What a bummer!
