It's going to cause them to drop the titles tonight, and a great team that could be, won't be. I'd love to see Aries and Roode take all of the titles, but can't see it happening now.

Also, if the rumor is true that Bruce Pritchard not only allowed the contract to expire, but had to be told by Roode that he didn't have a contract, Pritchard should be fired or demoted. Absolutely pathetic for a person in his role in any profession.

might be a legal thing

so surfing the TNA website i found this that left me with quite a few questions

When he made his professional wrestling debut in 2002, a young, fresh-faced Spud was billed as the smallest wrestler in the UK, taking on all comers, including, believe it or not, TNA’s monster, Abyss! Influenced by people such as Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper and the late Brian Pillman, his never-say-die attitude won over the fans.

What question do you have?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

I fail to comprehend how shit like this happens, especially in the computer age.

I understand the contract part, Roode has a right to play hardball and not show up to work, but how on earth do you allow him to hold a title so close to his deal expiring, and how does nobody notice?

 

[SuperKevin]

LOL @ "accidentally" allowing a talents contract to expire.

Perhaps they need less Lindsey Bynum's giving 10 minute PR calls and have someone in the office that actually pays attention to this shit.

WWE should sign Roode.

There are also rumors floating around the web that HHH has already reached out to Roode but I call BS on that one. Roode is 36 and likely will have to be retrained in the WWE way of doing things. I have a feeling Roode is going to end up with another TNA Heavyweight Championship run from all of this

This is the same company that gave Jeff Hardy a title without knowing if he was going to stick around. They think it sweetens the deal

 

[SuperKevin]

I'm also hearing that RVD's contract expired but they knew about that one and that's why he dropped the belt to King finally

lol i thought it said he had worked Pillman ... im a tad hung over today ... my bad guys

 

[EmpireWF]

fuck me for laughing, but...

...and the late Brian Pillman, his never-say-die attitude...

 

[Bigpapa42]

I am completely convinced that TNA management is relatively inept. If this was a legitimate, stand-alone company that had to live or die based on its own success alone, it would have died dozens of times now.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL @ The X-Division opener. Kenny King tries to do a moonsault to the outside off of the back of Zima...completely fucks it up and puts the back of his head on the concrete. Dead.

 

[SuperKevin]

Taryn Terrell needs to be a regular knockout performer

 

[SuperKevin]

Robbie E actually has potential to be the best heel in TNA. Legit heat

Meanwhile, Robbie T is the perfect wrestler for VKM, I am surprised he hasn't backed up a truck full of cash to his doorstep yet.

Not sure if Rob Terry could pass the Wellness Test in WWE

 

[SuperKevin]

The format of this 3 way tag match is confusing the hell out of me. How does Bobby Roode tag himself in?

 

[SuperKevin]

Thank you D-Lo for reminding us that this Aces & 8s angle has gone on for NINE months without a payoff

Ryback and Cena pass.

No big name, and with the biggest name likely being Jarrett, there won't be a payoff. If they moved the angle along quickly, I wouldn't have an issue with it playing out like it has.

Actually AJ Styles is going to be Aces & 8s this Thursday so that's actually a main eventer
