I remain surprised he put over Bobby Wayward as nicely as he did on the Twitch show.

Teddy Hart's inability to show up to an event versus Impact's inability to pay its talent is the first time in a decade I've been invested in a matchup this company has announced.

If you've never seen in it, watch the episode of Best Friends with Teddy as the guest. It is loving nuts, and the only time I've ever seen Chuck look truly uncomfortable with his guests' actions and words. We watched it live on PSP TV and it was a surreal experience. Which is saying something, as he had Bill Carr on an Officer and a Gentleman, and Carr's a weirdo, but more in the "Get a load of this guy" sense, rather than "Are we an accessory to a felony right now?".

Is that the one where he tells the story about the police showing up, and he pulls out a gun and puts it to his own head and tells them,"Let me tell my side of the story or I'll kill myself!"? Because that poo poo was loving insane.

I believe so. He also gives an account of the story of his rape charges, unsolicited, IIRC. Best Friends ain't exactly hard hitting journalism. Fun fact: TNA still owes Dustin 600 bucks.

Apparently Gail Kim says Impact is trying to sign Io Shirai. I hope Io is smart enough to avoid signing with them. It goes without saying, but Io makes more money in Japan than she would signing with Impact. Io's merch sales are insane, along with her being the highest paid STARDOM talent by a longshot.

But yeah, I cannot understate it enough, I REALLY hope Io doesn't sign with Impact. She'll be making significantly less (if she even gets paid on time), and her exposure won't grow much, since Impact barely gets any viewership.

Like I don't think its too far from the truth when I say even Kairi's NXT contract pays more than an Impact contract for Io would. Kairi supposedly makes around $65,000 a year with her NXT deal.

Jerusalem posted:"All right Teddy, all you need to do is not gently caress up for 12 seconds and we'll be fi-" There’s a story from ECW when they brought in Jake Roberts for a few shows. Paul’s walking down a hall in the arena and sees Jake and New Jack walking the other way. Paul just turns around because he doesn’t wanna know. New Jack says they were chatting and Jake never bought from him.

Gail was far more casual about it on Konnan's podcast. Rebel put her over to Gail after touring with STARDOM. Her signing isn't imminent or anything.

I actually prefer Io Shirai over Kairi Hojo but that could just be me being a contrarian and wanting the one that I have less exposure to.

MassRafTer posted:So in that case deduct the cost of gas around the state from her $65K. EDIT: To put that in a bit of perspective, the upcoming Florida loop has them going to Tampa, Jacksonville, and Cocoa on successive days. If they follow what Google Maps tells me, that's 482 miles leaving and returning to Orlando, so they'd get to deduct $262.69 for that trip, which ought to be far more than the gas costs. Do this for, say, 40 weeks out of the year (I don't know what a typical NXT schedule looks like), and you're at $10k, though a given weekend will obviously vary by the exact shows being run.

Yeah in the case of Kairi in particular, she took a pretty steep paycut to come to WWE. Stardom has said she was their second biggest merch mover, and made six digits as a result (this is pretty obvious as she tweets out a bunch of designer brand products she buys). #1 is Io.

Endless Mike posted:Federal taxes allow 54.5 cents to be deducted per mile driven for 2018, provided you can deduct, though I'm sure that independent contractors are somehow screwed on that. It's probably closer to 12 weeks a year, they typically run the Florida loop like once a month for 3 or 4 dates.

They do regular shows at the Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in Tokyo which is kind of a shack in the middle of a lumberyard a lot of promotions use and the cheap seats get filled pretty easily. I got a pretty nice seat next to the ramp but those weren’t as full. The tickets to those start at ¥5000 yen and scale up to about ¥7000. Korakuen Hall shows also have ringside seats at about ¥13,000. I guess the moral of the story is they make bucketloads more money than TNA.
