Did WCW ever flat out forget to resign people or get visas renewed. That could be a case for them in the who's dumber thread.

Poor Steve Corino. He was getting paid so little but I remember when I first started watching ECW back in the day thinking "THIS guy is a great heel". King of Old School 4 life.

But didn't TNA have this issue before? As in, more than once? A far larger company having one oversight that one time is a bit more acceptable than a smaller organization not renewing visas, renewing licences in Missouri, or even resigning talent they fully intend to keep when their contract expires. Seems like there should be SOMEONE in the front office to handle keeping tabs on all that.

TNA has had visa issues before, but mainly it was because Bruce Pritchard hated his job.

I randomly thought about this last night. What if one night on raw, Hulk Hogan's music where to hit and out comes Zack Ryder, dressed up like Hogan, only with his own head gear.
He comes out copying Hogan's entrance with the hand to his ear and the flexing his muscles and what not. Then the ring announcer announces him as 'Hulk BRO-gan". Thought that would be alright for a laugh or two. Then for a few weeks following that have him come out dressed as someone different each week. |

Didn't Charlie Haas do that and it went exactly nowhere?

It went straight between Jackie Gayda's legs though- since that gimmick, they have had 4 kids.

It's funny where you find wrestling related things.
I was listening to Mark Henry's old theme "Start Rockin'" and out of boredom I decided to Google "Beefcake", as the intro to the theme is "The beat kicks and I start rockin'!" but the vast majority of people (myself included) originally heard it at "The beefcakes and I start rockin'!". So I get the Wikipedia page for "Beefcake" and at the bottom of the page, I find a picture of Randy Orton. I really wasn't expecting to see him there. |

Is that why they rushed his face turn? They were worried they wouldn't get the chance to before BFG?
Doesn't explain why they lost track of how many weeks there were until BFG, but it's a little less lolTNA than it seemed last week |

Some guys have 7 BFG matches done, some have 9. And it's supposed to be over.

TNA basically rushed Sabin's big push just so they could say they had their own "Daniel Bryan" like the WWE and not because they were serious about him being their next big star. |

They've done that before. They tried making Austin Aries/Bobby Roode into something like Cena/Punk at Money in the Bank. This time they were quicker on the draw to make the guy World Champ, but just a hot-shot anyways since Bully Ray is now champ again.

But they would have to remember he's on the roster in order to release him.

I fucking hate it when Ryan Clark posts headline titles as "wrestler speaks out". The fuck is up with that? Edge speaks out, Hulk Hogan speaks out, CM Punk speaks out....GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!

Every time it says "speaks out" it implies (to me anyway) that they're speaking out on something taboo or controversial. Most of the time it's just something shitty like "I have blue shoes" or summit.

Is there a place I can get the headlines from the front page, without Ryan Clarks interjections or commentary?
