hope he doesn't stay, guy is too good for TNA. they had him on contract but instead focused on putting belts and opportunities on Moose, Broken-brained Matt Hardy, Sami Callihan, and Tommy Dreamer. They just cannot stop putting over the same guys from a decade ago.

still better than when wwe spit in the face of the legacy of ECW by jobbing dreamer out all the time

I'm going to Slammiversary. I haven't watched TNA in quite a while but how often am I gonna get a frggin' PPV that's like 10 minutes walking distance from me? I hope it'll be cool, or funny.

God, they're really just torpedoing everything that built up their good will this year.

No, the .99 cent plan still allows you to watch weeklies (with that 30 minute delayed start).

Even $0.99 a month is too much for me to give a company partnering with WWE, to whom I am morally opposed.

I'll give them this - out of all the potential WWE opponents for Jordynne Grace, TNA got the best-case scenario in Perez.

PWInsider posted:

The word backstage at tonight's WWE NXT taping was that Jordynne Grace appearing on WWE NXT Battleground will not be the only WWE-TNA collaboration in the days ahead.

The belief among those we've spoken with is that there will be some sort of NXT representation on future TNA events and programming as well, although we haven't heard how much that could be and whether it could be anyone beyond Roxanne Perez.

Easy to infer someone’s appearing at Against All Odds

The AJPW seems to have been 1 & done, a favour to William Regal through Hideki Suzuki.

Because right now AJPW has just had the NWA Champion EC3 on their show :suicide: At least it wasn't Brodus or whatever he's called now

Brodus is retired, him losing the belt to EC3 almost a year ago was his last match

Obviously not a loss. Considering the shape he was in towards the end, that decision may have even kept him alive a bit longer
