Mel Mudkiper posted:I mean, I get that they are important and heavily involved but at the same time I feel like someone had to be like "yo please don't wear nazi poo poo on camera for our struggling company" Even the Vince n-bomb, horrid as it was, was played for a laugh in terms of being acknowledged as being wildly inappropriate. This is just a dude straight up announcing himself as a Nazi out of character for no reason. Just, yep, he's a Nazi.

Based on the logo, it was during their weekly PPV days so it's not like anyone was watching.

Chris James 2 posted:They regularly (and relatively recently) intimidated people into not complaining about not being paid on time. On the rare chance anyone had the guts to tell them this, it was done softly enough to not be heard and wasn't listened to Unless I'm mistaken them doing this was reported to have happened a lot in the waning days of Dixie owning TNA whenever the production staff went without being paid.

I don't think it was the first time it happened either. If memory serves, TNA hired "The Wall" of "It's the Wall, brother" fame and he came out wearing a shirt with Nazi symbols on it.

That I have no memory of this whatsoever. Don Harris wearing the SS shirt got a lot of negative publicity at the time and the company had to apologize. It's possible Malice had a tattoo or something but I'd be surprised if he worse a Nazi shirt as Malice was in TNA at the exact same time as the SS shirt incident.

in case anyone was worried about me possibly giving nazis money: i just looked up AroLucha's roster and holy gently caress that's underwhelming, i think i know and like literally about 25% of their roster tops definitely not bothering with that show now, I was sort of thinking it was gonna be a lot of LU people but not really. if they were promising me Pentagon or Rey or LA Park or Dr. Wagner Jr, I'd be into it, but I'm not going to confession on Sunday over fuckin' Taya Valkyrie and Low Ki.

As I said last week. IMPACT has no money.quote:The never-ending pay issues are that now the checks come six weeks after the appearance and some guys now, since Impact is booking guys for indie dates, are mad at losing their own indie dates where they’ll get paid that night and working indie dates for Impact where they’ll be paid six weeks later instead.

Yeah having 3 people that don't suck doesn't cover up the absolute onslaught of bad decisions they kept making through that time.

The 2005 hot period is amazing because it only happened because they were off TV. Thus, it was OK for someone other than Jeff Jarrett to be champion and the X Division to get more of a focus because they were saving all the dumb bullshit for when they were back on TV.

TNA probably got yelled at by their TV partners. Wasn't there a news tidbit about TNA was sending tapes to places without any contracts or they were under contract and getting paid but never aired? TNA fucks up so often and frequently its hard to remember.
