Does anybody have a single doubt that TNA will probably let this guy walk? Despite the fact he got over largely on his own and might be the hottest act in the company?

is this the same TNA that saw Aries become the Hottest Heel in the company, only to turn him face without any rhyme or reason?

 

[EmpireWF]

Didn't Aries retire?

I think the wrestling stigma of fans being inbred morons might be more facilitated by the people running it than the people watching it. It seems like as long as I've followed wrestling, there's just been a theme of incompetence.

Best act in TNA in a long time.

Some might equate becoming a star for TNA to "retiring"...

Was just reading that TNA has been quite behind on paying some of the staff lately. The Torch article doesn't make it sound like financial trouble, but more likely administrative issues since Pritchard took over. Its mainly house show pay for the lower-level workers - you know, the ones who makes scraps and can't afford to have their paycheques show up three weeks late. The top guys still get paid on time. The article is less than complimentary about Prtichard and his changes so far. If they are fucking about on getting Aries extended, it could just be down to that.

Andrew Goldstein (former WWE writer) on some of McMahon's unwritten rules:

* Don't put your hands in the peanut jar, pour the peanuts into your hands.
* Don't sneeze or yawn in front of Vince.
* Don't email talent you're in charge of. Call them and reach them.

I wonder what his reaction is if you were to break one of those rules

I could see him being one of those Flair types who forgets where the performer ends and the guy begins. He probably either "YOUUUU'RE FIIIIIIRED"s them or makes them kiss his ass and all the other writers have to hoot and holler as someone plays his music on their iPod.

He seems like a real douchenozzle. I kinda get the calling people and actually getting ahold of them, as there's no I didn't get the e-mail/get it in time stuff. But the sneezing thing is just stupid. I guess all those gay thoughts about Gary Strydom broke his brain. Oooohh!!!

11th anniversary of WCW going out of business. Be strong, s@pp, don't let them see you cry.....IT'S STILL OPEN TO ME, DAMNIT!

 

[IamMedellin]

Didnt Paul Heyman say once in an interview that Vinnie Mac will Stop a creative meeting for 20 minutes if he himself sneezes?

Vinnie Mac's an odd bird..

If you're an undercard wrestler = puts in the word for a repackaging...you'll become a little boy loving pedo.
If you're a diva = bestiality angle.
If you're staff = Put in backstage vignettes wearing a man-thong and oiled up.
If you're corporate = made to run WWE Network

W2B, according to the seating chart of tickets sold for ROH, they have sold maybe 200-300 tickets, I swear.

I'm just getting GenAdm for DGUSA, but I played some a concierge service earlier, and I think they pretty much have everything available.

W2B, what do you think they expect at the gate for these shows?

Christian's out, Booker's in for Wrestlemania.

Fuck you Phil.

It's because all of the regulars know that they can just walk up and get in. The only time ROH does any sort of advance business is for Hammerstein. Even then, I always just showed up and walked in.

DGUSA never does any business WM weekend. They get slaughtered by ROH every year. I recall in Arizona DGUSA drew like 200 or 300 people. Good thing half the japanese crew doubles as office and likely works for free.

My advise for those shows is to just get GA, because i'm sure they are running tiny buildings, and you will likely be 10 feet from the guy who paid double. However, I think ROH is running an armory with upstairs seating if I recall? You might want a decent seat for that so you don't get stuck upstairs.
