I'm sure with the signing of Joe, Aries, Roode, and Young, you'll be seeing a lot of "WWE considers TNA a threat, which is why they're signing all of their talent away!" posts.

I think it's more of saying a wrestler has been awful for the last ten years (i.e. Eric Young), where now that he's in NXT he's suddenly decent?

You are like me, still irked with Hogan for his self serving ways while collecting fat TNA paychecks.

I believe Alex said he watches and really likes Impact.

Corgan speaks intelligently to the media propaganda used to manipulate, profit and control.

As he says, people don't want to admit they have been conned, and he compairs it to wrestling marks.

He speaks his mind and is a voice worth listening to.

The way he seems to describe TNA's so-called "bullies", I'm actually still not sure if he was calling them bullies or condoning bullying other wrestling fans and then "hoping he didn't insult anybody" in the same ridiculous run-on sentence.

This is my new favourite. My interpretation is that he's saying they need to troll more aggressively and somehow direct the narrative that TNA is good and cool.

Of all the things with crazy TNA fans, this is the one I really don't get. Of COURSE the wrestlers on TNA were good! Yeah, some of them sucked. Hernandez comes to mind. But most of them were great and those that weren't were often in the mix with guys that were and could make them look good. Its THE SHOW that sucked. THE WRITING AND THE BOOKING. The wrestlers had nothing to do with it.

No TNA fan will ever admit that, because it means that no amount of their fantasy booking or proposed talent acquisitions are worth a drat unless the company completely rebrands from top to bottom. It means that TNA Mecca favourites EC3 and Eli Drake and Bram are never, ever, ever going to be stars as long as they work for TNA in its current incarnation, which is completely the case.

Man, what the hell is EC3 going to do when TNA finally goes? I can't imagine him going back to NXT with the rest of the Impact exodus, both because of how he was treated in developmental the first time and, uh, incompatibility with the performance enhancements he's clearly on. He's too old to be a Juice Robinson NJPW young lion, and I don't think he's got the reputation and experience to take the AJ Styles route as an expensive, steady indie hand. What's left, tagging in ICW with Rockstar Spud? Would Ring of Honor have any interest in him? He's a moron for putting all his eggs in Dixie's basket, but I'd still like to see him successful somewhere after the promotion finally dies.

Personally I'm really curious if Bobbo Lashley comes back to the Fed. That'd certainly be interesting.

The one I'm really sad for is Storm. Man did he blow it super hard. I hope his bridges didn't get burned entirely in that whole episode.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

With EC3 he's unfortunately in the position of being the new Brutus Magnus. I wouldn't rule out an NXT run, particularly if its around the time of the next batch of call ups and they need bodies to take jobs, but I don't see him being in a major position in any other company. His look and gimmick might have some legs in Mexico, but in general he's not really a good enough worker to get a big opportunity.

I liked the comment I read during Catrina's iama that suggested Ec3 go to Lucha Underground as Ethan Cueto 3.

He's way better than Marco was in 2003 but EC3 as the next Mark Jindrak is pretty perfect

He's basically spent the better part of the last decade working for CMLL and/or AAA as Marco Corleone.

He was actually in Los Ingobernables for a while, though he left the group in the last month or two after RUSH attacked Maximo Sexy.

This rules. Contact The Boobs

quote:

In the current episode of Pro Wrestling 24/7 entitled Meltzer Madness we intentionally stated that the Wrestling Observer and F4w did not recognize the TNA Titles. This is not a fact, just as Meltzer’s reporting of TNA being evicted from their former location in Nashville was not a fact, but a rumor.

We at Pro Wrestling 24/7 are men enough to state that we stated something that was not factual. In fact we did this on purpose to prove a point.

Anyone out there in social media that has an issue with this should also have an issue with Dave Meltzer and F4W for their non factual reporting of TNA being evicted. They should also demand an apology from Meltzer to Dixie Carter and TNA for stating non factual remarks and disparagements against TNA iMPACT Wrestling.

But you will not.

We offer our sincerest apologizes to Dave Meltzer and F4W and invite him or Bryan Alverez to join us on Pro Wrestling 24/7 to discuss and debate the facts at anytime. They can contact The Boobs at theboobs247@pw247.net anytime and set up a date and time.

If they accept then we will air this for our listeners to hear.
