Didn't Impact's latest tapings set them up with content that is going to run all the way through April?

That taping session(s?) must have been absolutely exhausting.

Late April I believe.

Nonsense. I have not yet begun to defile myself.

I was at that show. People should watch John Morrison vs Danny Maff, that was super. Also a random appearance by Teddy Hart and his loving cat

here's Fallah getting a pretty decent match out of Shera marred by poo poo editing. Josh Mathews on commentary solo is a nice touch be he just calls the match no bullshit.

I thought Teddy was retired/in prison for some nonsense?

Also it's 2018 and he's still bringing his loving cat along with him.

The original kitty died I think someone said, maybe coconono.


He was arrested for DUI/resisting arrest, but I don't know what happened with those charges. It was a while ago and probably his first charge in Texas, so it might have just been a fine and a week or two in jail or something, I've no idea how the law regarding DUI works in Texas.

Hopefully, something along these lines will be in the Observer. This isn't a scoop as it happens every 2 weeks but yet again money has dried up in IMPACT and more talent is looking elsewhere.

Circling back on this.

As I tweeted yesterday I've read infinitely more talk from IMPACT's current regime about wanting to establish and sign a “Great 8” than actual contract signings. Another sign that IMPACT isn't exactly flowing in cash currently.

Someone told me that ROH is aggressively going after 2-3 guys (unnamed) that aren’t signed or are not going to sign. ROH sees the opening as does WWE to sink IMPACT for good - obviously this TNA and TNA will never die I am just stating what I was told.

Maybe someone in ROH is real mad about losing Moose? I figured they'd have cooled on that after ACH of all people repeatedly owned Moose on twitter for being a giant dipshit.

It's a company that has some talent, a few of with ROH would want. In ROH's case TNA being out of the picture might be an opening to get more of their content on the Fight Network.

ROH's core roster is very stale and it has had departures in early 2017 they never replaced.

Also, their live event business is booming, in theory, bringing in extra cash:

Also, you've Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc.’s proposed purchase of Tribune Media Co. With rumours of ROH airing on WGN in the fall.

I think DJZ is gone already, I don't think TNA has booked him in months. Cage in ROH would be delicious though.

TNAs roster page is one of the greatest mysteries in wrestling. They refused to remove King Mo from it for years to the point where it was a running joke, and then presto he came back for a couple matches last year.

If they're just house shows and TNA is still trying to do that "put a bunch of indie promotions under our banner" thing then that's not the worst thing.

If they're gonna try to put those both on TV at once then yeah that's gonna be a disaster.

I assume they're not moving infrastructure cross-country, but even booking talent for both shows is going to go to poo poo if there's a flight delay/cancellation.
