I can't believe AEW hired Low-Ki, hired the booker of that match, and bought Evolve after using it as a feeder league.

I've been to a TNA house show in that exact same building when they had Angle, Sting, AJ, etc and there were maybe 500 people there. I think less, actually. the floors weren't full and none of the stands were open.

E: to be fair I've been to WWE house shows at the Ricoh too and they probably drew about the same as AEW is, but they had no hard cam and no stage.

The two things I remember from that TNA show:

1. Mr Anderson doing the 'mic comes down from the ceiling' schtick but there was no rig above him with the mic so he just pantomimes the entire thing while trying not to laugh

2. The most over person on the show was Earl Hebner

It does. I understand his inclination to do whatever Sting wanted to close out his career but Flair made no impact on business or even the story and never looked like he was even halfway interested in being there, and now AEW is stuck with this branding on their show until whenever the contract runs out. It was a bad decision that I hope he doesn't repeat.

It's been a while but I'm pretty sure it came out that Angela was catfishing that forum and was not remotely who she claimed to be. What a marvelous honeypot of neurosis TNA Mecca was.

You mean to tell me she wasn’t straight edge? And she didn’t eat Pizza Hut?

My god. Someone would just go on the internet and lie?

She had a whole backstory with a husband and she would often tell stories about working at a deli counter at a grocery store, often relating them back to TNA. Right up there with Chris Regal and his multiple identities, one of which has an active role in the Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign.

I wish I still had access to the F4W board, all the Mecca threads there were full of this stuff.

Chris Regal claimed multiple wild things, including that, prior to faking his death and resurfacing under multiple identities on TNA Mecca. One of which was his own brother 'George' who once told a story about Regal having a train run on him on a vacation in Greece in one of the weirdest flexes I've seen in my entire time on the internet.
