And she can somewhat kind of wrestle, which is a big no-no from their standpoint.

CROWN THIS MAN, NOW! W2B, give this man props!

CROWN THE REST OF THESE MEN WHILE WE ARE AT IT!

The WWE has no time for an ok-looking (by their standards) Asian woman with in-ring talent.

Gail Kim believes in the Christian Cage methodology. Rather be a curtain jerker in the E than a headliner in front of the IMPACT Zone.

I guess you gotta be a guy who saved his money and not want to deal with the E's road schedule to go to TNA.

Being off-screen in the WWE probably makes her more money than being the top Knockout in TNA. No jokes. Madison Rayne recently missed some house show dates and the rumor was that she couldn't afford to travel. This was while she was their Knockouts champion. Yet TNA can throw handfuls of cash at C-list celebrities.

TNA pays sh!t, but they have a ridiculously easy schedule...they work for two or three (maybe four) days every two weeks. The WWE works what...12 out of every 14 days?

Which is why some TNA talent have second jobs. Like Taylor Wilde worked at a Sunglasses Hut in Ontario... again, while she was Knockouts champion. An easy schedule is nice, but not so much when you don't make enough to live.

And while TNA talent can take other dates, it apparently doesn't happen that often since TNA charges other promotions a huge free to use the talent. Which is the Knockouts don't do too many Shimmer shows, etc.

Her first problem is that she lives in fucking Ontario when her job is in Orlando.

TaylorWildeFail.

Most of the male wrestlers live in Florida, or reside there while they are with TNA. Many in Tampa, IIRC.

Barrett wins at Survivor Series. After the match Cena beats him up. The Miz comes down and cashes his MITB and becomes the new champion. Calling it.

It depends on Cena.

There's no way Orton forgives Cena for costing him the title but those two have never seen eye-to-eye at anything so that's a given.

The locker room won't forgive Cena because Cena will still look like Wade owns him like has for weeks now.

And Cena will be disgusted with himself for what he had to do to get Nexus off his back.

Cena either gets put out during the PPV so he can't ref (resulting in him still being in the Nexus), Cena counts the pin (he's free at a heavy price), Cena helps Orton (won't happen on principle that even though Barrett's got him by the balls, it wouldn't be right to take sides), or Cena counts a legitimate win for Barrett (won't happen because Heels can't get a clean win unless they squash someone or cheat).

Maybe the Mystery GM helps Cena? :shifty:

Maybe I'm simply jaded but you try going to the Corporate WWE site and not be forced to try to rip your eyeballs out b/c of all the shit they have up.

My god. It makes me feel dirty just reading/watching that crap.

TNA needs to top pretending to be big time if they cant even pay for tras.

Even ROH pays to fly guys in when needed, and they run a fraction of the budget. Shit, Jersey All Pro pays trans to non east coasters.

C'mon, Larry. Cut her a break, her bosses are a joke.

I agree...but that is the nature of where she is trying to work. TNA wants to try and look big time, but they run in the red and they still pay most of their workers as much or less than most indy feds yet restrict their talent unlike the indys.

Its a shame what they go through for a little bit of TV time.

If she is working at a sunglass hut in Ontario, she can work one in Orlando or Tampa and not have all that jazz of travel.

 

[Bigpapa42]

Don't know the whole story - she mentioned it in an interview at one point. I'm fairly certain she said it was back home in Ontario that she was working in the mall. Might have been still living at home. She was recognized by a fan, which she found so embarrassing she quit - might be why she didn't want to do it in FLA.

Its like Randy the Ram...dude has to work at a grocery store to make wage.

If you aren't a top guy (and women, even the top women aren't top guys) or work in the WWE, you probably have another job...whether its working several feds or actually work a 9-5 or you have some investments.

I don't act surprised, that is for sure.

I mean, how many Danielson's are out there where you make a good living working Indys?

TNA has been brutal so far tonight

Tonight? Its definitely not a new trend. Two weeks ago they had less than 15 minutes of wrestling on a 2 hour show.... and this from the company that likes to promote itself as still being "wrestling"... Sure...

For three weeks now, I've found a perverse degree of pleasure in deleting Impact off my PVR unwatched. Its just better that way...

TNA basically decided to take a ton of cheap shots at the NFL by talking about concussions and safety.

Low blow.

Completely hypocritical of TNA. This is the same company that had Rob Terry take a completely direct chair shot to the head shortly after Chris Kanyon committed suicide. Far worse than merely poor taste.

Less about the NFL and more about the problem in pro wrestling.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

TNA/WCW comparisons arent even valid anymore.

WCW was awesomely bad at the end. TNA is just bad.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

TNA is what would have happened if WCW wasn't sold to Vince McMahon.

Sooner or later the awesome of the awesomely bad would have faded away and you would have simply gotten some of the worst wrestling program your mind could handle.

To think, Paul Heyman could have been given the keys...but they said no. :smh:
