Leonard Asper, a staggeringly stupid man who drove Canwest into the ground, just wants cheap content out of TNA.

Talon, I love the layout of Impact Asylum. This is going to definitely be an interesting set of tapings and hopefully they can bring in some new talent. The other day, I was in a store and the Final Countdown was playing. During the chorus, I started singing it’s the Final Deletion really loud and my girlfriend acted like she didn’t know me.

The Final Deletion: (parody to the Final Countdown by Europe)
Brother Nero, I knew you’d come 
To where it all began in Cameron
To delete someone, it takes a lot of fuel 
And then you turn them into an obsolete mule
Senor Benjamin is much more than a landscaper
Preparing the battlefield for massacre
And deletion is the only cure
It's the final deletion, the final deletion, Oh

An extraordinary birthday xylophone 
King Maxel sits on the House Hardy throne
A dilapidated boat and Vanguard 1’s hologram
Matt won control of the Hardy brand
Can his brilliance ever be broken?
Changing his accent with every word that is spoken
The seven deities have now been awakened
It's the final deletion, the final deletion, the final deletion, the final deletion, Oh

Drew basically confirms they waited until the last minute to make an offer, but it was for great money and a top position.

That's been going on for some time and why the Hardy's were on that show that featured Blurred-ref-gate.

Konnan might end up on impact tomorrow.

Observer says we're gonna get more MAGA in TNA. Jarrett's big marketing idea is "Let's Make TNA Great Again", presenting the good old days of TNA when Jeff was in charge, and implicitly burying (not mentioning her by name) the Dixie regime saying that since she took over, things went off-rails. Tapings Day 1 already had Pritchard, Lashley, and Dutch say the phrasing

Apparently the belt was originally supposed to go to Galloway, but they were too late offering him a new contract. Then Bully Ray was almost signed to get the belt, but it fell through at the last minute.

Alberto es numero tres.

Apparently they offered it to a third person before ADR as well. Ryback would be my guess but no one knows for sure.

The rats thing is the second stupidest thing in this interview behind "wrestling should have credits I.e Shawn Spears as Eli Drake" and this will somehow make this whole thing more legit.

flashy_mcflash
Feb 7, 2011

It's a dumb idea because at no point in wrestling history is the business more exposed. WWE has Total Divas and Breaking Ground and the internet, particularly social media, exists. Maybe combined with the rats thing, Eli really thinks it's 1986.

Anyone else watching the Fight Network stream or on the channel itself? They just put a ten minute segment about music on MMA in the middle of the main event. Like it went to commercial and then there was this long rear end unrelated interview. Nice job Anthem

To be clear, I'm no fan of Eli Drake, but the guy (and any active performer that didn't get TV time last night) has a point about being left off the show so they could have not one but two long-rear end promos about how poo poo the company used to be.

Shame it won't be the same without Scott Steiner running through the crowd, chasing people around. :sigh:

They want to do something similar with ITV in the UK as well. The company that has never been able to make one promotion work will now be in control of three.
