[Mercenary]

Not sure how true

[Sixx]

this does not look like a competent source

[DAMN iNATOR]

UGH...SMH if true.

[DAMN iNATOR]

UPDATE:

We can confirm from two of our exclusive sources and long time friends of our brand, that Vince McMahon has indeed purchased TNA. One source noted that the sale has finalize and that their will be a press release on Friday to announce the sale and the other source stated the the sale will actually be finalized on Friday.

Not sure which is more accurate, but int does appear that WWE is or will be the new owner of TNA.


It should be noted that WWE is only interested in adding the TNA library and The Hardy's (Along with a few others.) contracts.

We will have more on this as we get the information...

Stay tuned!

That's according to the full article on their site. Weird that nobody else seems to be reporting on this though...

[Fignuts]

Yeah, weird.

[Fignuts]

Actually rooting for Vince to buy it, tbh. Having the TNA library of matches on the network would be tits, and some of the more talented members of the roster possibly getting picked up would be cool too.

TNA Cancels Flights And Matches For Next Week's Impact Tapings, Backstage Talk On Nervous Talents

It's no secret that TNA is potentially facing their end times as they go into Bound For Glory weekend with the company sale up in the air and a need for funds to cover the pay-per-view as well as next week's Impact Wrestling tapings.

A veteran TNA talent told me today that everyone is very nervous about the impending sale. Many TNA talents are used to the uncertainty but it sounds like this is a new level of concern backstage.

Furthermore, some wrestlers who were booked for the Impact tapings next week have had their flights and matches canceled. The TNA talent I spoke with wasn't even sure if he will be on the Bound For Glory card as the company is really looking to save as much money as possible.

Billy Corgan On TNA's Future Changing This Week, If Bound For Glory Will Happen, Pop TV's Reaction



Source: Busted Open

TNA President Billy Corgan appeared on Busted Open this afternoon to discuss the uncertainty regarding the future of TNA. Corgan noted that he's been trying to acquire a majority share of TNA. He said that the company has had a "for sale" sign for a long time, saying it could be argued that it's had a "'for sale' sign it's entire existence." He said that he got involved when the company was having some issues and went on to take a bigger role over the past six months. He said that he wants to provide more details about why he's doing what he's doing, but he has legal obligations to not talk about things that would paint him in a more favorable light or to shed light on the complications of the issues at hand.


Corgan said that right now there are a lot of people at the table looking at the company. "It's reached a point where it's going to have a transformational moment," Corgan said. "Whatever's going to happen this week or this weekend or whatever, is going to for sure - and this is not a wrestling angle - it is definitely going to change the direction of the company forever. Does that mean the company ends, does that mean the company begins a new era? Obviously I am very much on the side and very much invested that the company would continue."


Corgan asked fans to consider all the talent that work for the company and the people who work behind the scenes whose futures are hanging in the balance. He said he's working very hard to acquire a majority share of the company and to keep the company going forward to keep everybody working. Corgan was asked what Pop TV's commitment is to a new ownership group if he were to take over the company. Corgan said that while he was working on a new album in Los Angeles, he met with the President of Pop TV and the new Vice President of Programming of Pop TV, who gave him a very strong show of support of the company going forward under him. Corgan said that Pop TV are pleased with TNA's growth and the social media reaction to the product.


As for whether Bound For Glory will happen this Sunday as scheduled, Corgan would not give a definitive yes, although he said that he was optimistic that a solution will get worked out by then. Corgan said that he had to step in at the "literally the last minute" for the last three rounds of tapings, so he's used to being in this situation. He said that ultimately it's not up to him, but he's done everything he can to create a scenario to go forward. He said that he's been the financer, and that he has no investors, so he's committed and charging forward on his own initiative.


"Having been through this the last three rounds, I still remain very optimistic that come Sunday I will be standing in the ring putting over what's about to happen," Corgan said. "I will be in Orlando come rain or shine. I can't speak for everybody else at this particular moment, but I will be in Orlando this Sunday."

Eric Bischoff Talks About TNA Sale



Former WWE and WCW Superstar Eric Bischoff weighed in on the rumors about TNA’s potential sale and more in his latest Bischoff on Wrestling podcast. Some highlights and audio of the interview are below...

On what comes to his mind when he hears the rumors: “Chaos. Shear chaos. I have been reading it like everyone else. I don’t have any inside information. I have to give my disclaimer here: I am currently involved in on-going litigation with TNA. I have to be a little bit judicious and careful about what I say. Anything that I am commenting on are things that are in the public domain, so to speak. The other day I read that somebody put a valuation on TNA of approximately $40 million. I have no idea where that number came from. Valuations when you’re selling a company or trying to get investors or an investor company. One of the hardest things to determine is valuation. Back when I was running WCW, when I was first given the responsibility to oversea WCW, it was a company that was grossing $24 million a year. Unfortunately it was losing $10 million in the process. Earlier this week someone said, “Well, the valuation of TNA is probably two times revenue.” Well, that valuation works if you’re profitable but if you’re losing like WCW was, $10 or $14 million a year on $24 million a year in revenue, I guaran-freaking-tee you that company would not have been valued at $40 million.”

On whether he sees any similarities between WWE possibly buying TNA and when WWE bought WCW: “No, they are completely different from what I can see and what I’ve read. You look at the talent roster in TNA and many of them are under non-exclusive agreements. So, there’s no real value in those contractual agreements. There’s some talented people there, don’t get me wrong. This is in no way a derisive comment with regard to the talent. It’s not like acquiring TNA is going to allow you to just walk those agreements right over to a new company because they are non-exclusive. WWE doesn’t work that way. Trust me. I really don’t see any similarities. WCW was a very powerful brand. Even at the time it was acquired by WWE. TNA doesn’t have the luxury in the marketplace that WCW did. I don’t really see any similarities to be honest.”

Latest Regarding Sale Of TNA





As previously reported, Sunday’s TNA Bound for Glory event is in jeopardy because the company doesn’t have the funds to broadcast the show.


We noted earlier that WWE is back in the bidding war for the company, which is an indication that the company could be coming to an end. WWE reportedly just wants the video library and has no intentions on keep the company afloat. The company would use the library for WWE Network needs and future DVDs. It’s well known that Billy Corgan is a front runner in purchasing the company, however the company needs funds by Friday to keep afloat, and not months from now when a deal with Corgan would be finalized.


One of the problems with keeping the promotion going has a lot to do with previous debt. It’s being said that TNA owes millions, more then what the company would even sell for. If Corgan ends up getting the company, he plans to restructure it and even re-name the brand. Dixie is free to sell the company whoever she wants to, as she owns 70% of the company. It should be a very interesting week for TNA.

Meltzer sheep,,,,

[hb2k]

Well, most of the news in these bites was stolen from Meltzer's newsletter and radio show anyway, very little genuine journalism from anyone else.

A deal was almost agreed on Monday but fell through. Aroluxe (Harris Boys) are back in the picture, Corgan wants it but isn't keen to just fund it again knowing he's just pouring in money.

The one thing that doesn't make sense from Corgan or anyone else trying to buy this thing - what the fuck are you even getting? A company with no revenue streams, a brand name that stinks, millions of dollars of debt, and a shit domestic TV deal. The only thing of value at all is the international television and a handful of the talent, but neither of those is making enough of a difference.

[Innovator]

Only thing of real value is the tape library, and that's just for WWE to monetize it.

[slik]

I agree with Inno - though I have been enjoying IMPACT since I started watching it b/c of Matt Hardy. Most of the talent, like Bischoff mentioned, are not under exclusive contracts so WWE wouldn't even be buying contracts like they did with WCW.

[slik]

Who knew Matt Hardy's "delete" gimmick would extend to the company itself?

According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, there is a growing frustration within TNA, due to the feeling that Dixie Carter is making a mess of the TNA sale negotiations. One person close to the sale told the Obsever the following…

“There are a lot of hurdles and games being played. She (Dixie Carter) has really made a mess and is responsible for all of it.”

Another person stated the following…

“I thought Aroluxe had it late last week (this was when just days earlier Billy Corgan seemed to be the one most expected to get it). Then Saturday (9/24) I thought Billy won. Now I know the same BS is still going back-and-forth. She is something else. I’ve never met someone so clueless. She is out of touch on all levels. Both sides want her out. There is no doubt there. It’s the only thing they can agree on.”

Despite what is happening in her personal life, I really hope Tammy Sytch can find a way to send Dixie Carter a ham if the company dies.

[Mercenary]

So will Abyss offer Vince cookies for a contract?

[Simple Fan]

Hope WWE take EC3 , Eli Drake, Hardy's, Decay, The Wolves, Bennett and Maria, Gail Kim, and the X division title. Really think that the X Division title would be a great NXT mid card title. Could keep a few others like Trevor Lee and Andrew Everett for NXT or the cruiserweight division.

[Anybody Thrilla]

OMG Fuck TNA

[Outsider]

Ultimately it's all a bit of a shame really.

Wrestling really suffered for a few years due to a lack of competition, and when the WWE was at it's worst credible competition was greatly needed and never appeared. There was a stage where TNA looked like they might just make it to that level, when they had recognizable names and were building some decent starts of their own, but dropped the ball.

Ever since then it has been downhill and it's only been a matter of time for a couple of years now.

The fact people will be losing their jobs and there are less opportunities for full time paying gigs for wrestlers (not that TNA has been a full time commitment for a number of years) means the industry suffers.

But TNA have no-one to blame but themselves. And Hogan.

Fuck it, let's just blame Hogan.

[Simple Fan]

Wonder if Vince would go ahead and put on Bound For Glory and put it on the Network as the last ever TNA show. Could come out and make his announcement about their future and set up the guys he wants to keep for WWE. Cody Rhodes wouldn't have to go by Cody if so. Really sucks for him though if the show gets cancelled. Was looking forward to what they had planned with him and Bennett.

[BigCrippyZ]

Ultimately, I think it's all Dixie's fault. She was too stupid to take Heyman's offer. Instead she took the offer of two guys (Hogan and Bischoff) who only capitalized and built on the success of others (Turner's money and Vince's building of superstar Hogan and guys like Scott, Kevin, etc.) instead of taking the offer of someone who can take underutilized or underdeveloped talent and help them to become bigger and/or better stars than what they were. The latter, of which Heyman could've done, is what TNA really needed.

Billy Corgan On If He Can Win A Bidding War With WWE, Struggles With TNA Sale, If BFG Will Happen




Billy Corgan appeared on ESPN Radio's The Dan Le Batard Show moments ago and discussed the current state of TNA. Things have not changed since yesterday, and a sale has not been finalized.


Corgan was asked about WWE being interested in buying TNA and how you win a bidding war with Vince McMahon. Corgan said that you don't, and McMahon could buy it if he wanted to and there's nothing anyone "or God" can do to stop him. As of this moment, it hasn't happened and he doesn't think it will, and he hopes that he would know since he's involved in the process of buying the company and owns a piece. Corgan noted that there is currently "a gunfight" with who will get control of the company. He wouldn't say 100% that Bound For Glory will happen this Sunday, but that that he hopes everything will be resolved. He doesn't think everyone involved would want a situation where everyone is put out of work. He's spoken to talent that have told him to not take a bad deal.

I COME FROM THE FUTURE WITH A LIVE CAPTURE OF BOUND FOR GLORY

https://ringthedamnbell.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/wrestling-ring.jpg

Dixie Carter Being Blamed For The Mess


As noted, it's crunch time for TNA this week as the company needs to fund this Sunday's TNA Bound for Glory pay-per-view and their next set of television tapings in Orlando, Florida. Dave Meltzer reported in the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer that Dixie Carter, who is still majority owner of the company with 70% of the stock, is being blamed for making the sale a mess.


"There are a lot of hurdles and games being played," someone with knowledge of the sale talks told Meltzer. "She (Dixie Carter) has really made a mess and is responsible for all of it." Carter will be making the decision on who gets the company. Carter doesn't have the money to afford this weeks shows, which would cost around $600,000, and needs someone who can fund it. Another person close to the situation told Meltzer that they thought Aroluxe had control of the company last week, and then thought Corgan had it this past Saturday. "Now I know the same BS is still going back-and-forth," they told Meltzer. "She is something else. I've never met someone so clueless. She is out of touch on all levels. Both sides want her out. There is no doubt there. It's the only thing they can agree on."


Meltzer noted that a deal pretty much has to be made by this Friday, otherwise there will be no Bound For Glory pay-per-view on Sunday and television tapings next week, which would put TNA in breach of their television and pay-per-view contracts. That doesn't "guarantee death," but television partners could use it to cancel the show.

The only thing of value at all is the international television and a handful of the talent, but neither of those is making enough of a difference.

Is a shit TV deal better than none at all? If Corgan wants to run a wrestling company (and if he's looking to rebrand he's not necessarily trying to save 'TNA') he'll hit the same stumbling block as Jarrett/GFW in that nobody wants wrestling on their station anymore). At least by buying TNA he can rebrand, and have a to deal in place to boot.

[Emperor Smeat]

Doubt WWE wants anything besides the tape library and some trademarks if they buy TNA.

They could snag a few wrestlers but would be surprised if it would be more than a couple like the rumored Hardy Boys or maybe EC3. Everyone else might make more on the indies than what the WWE would be willing to offer. NXT already has enough wrestlers the WWE needs to fill out the brands, just need a bit more time before the next callups or those people are ready.

[mike adamle]

Yeah there's already way too many wrestlers on the roster.

[slik]

Outside of the Hardy Boyz I think WWE might be interested in EC3 and maybe Lashley b/c they always liked him...not really sure they would care about anyone else...maybe Rockstar Spud/Zema Ion could join the cruiserweights division?

[Mr. Nerfect]

I have absolutely no sympathy for TNA. They've had wonderful opportunities and wonderful talent pass through the certain in front of and behind the camera. They have fucked it up for themselves. They have done this to professional wrestling. I don't even buy the "well, it gives talent a place to work" excuse for feeling sorry for them. The talent worth a fuck will get snapped up by WWE, ROH, New Japan, PWG, Lucha Underground (until they are bankrupt), AAA (until they are bankrupt), CMLL, Elite or fucking OVW if they still have a lot they need to learn. They will all have a place in the wrestling business, they just won't be wasting good years on a wrestling program where the perceived highlight by the fans is a wrestler who was losing relevancy in 2010 who has put a grey streak in his hair and talks funny around backyard segments, when everyone knows the highlight is Maria's ass.

Fuck TNA. Fuck them for allowing Vince McMahon's monopoly to grow -- because they are a big reason that most cable stations won't sniff pro-wrestling. I don't know if you blame Jeff Jarrett, Vince Russo, Dixie Carter, Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff or fucking Shark Boy, but TNA could have been something and constantly said "No. We're going to be a steaming pile of shit." That reputation wasn't forced onto TNA -- they welcomed it, and they have embraced it right up until today, with "so bad it's good, right?!?" storylines.

I'll feel better when TNA is dead and talent can go work in places where they can be talented for profit.

[Droford]

I hope Corgan can pull it off but i doubt he can out money Vince..

[Mr. Nerfect]

A lot of TNA's roster is really good. I'd sign:

* Abyss to team with Crazzy Steve and give The Decay in WWE a go. They could use some tag teams that have something going for them. Stick them on SmackDown and give Becky Lynch a heel who can wrestle. I don't know if the team will work in WWE, but I'd give them a shot.

* Aiden O'Shea to be a big, brawny, enhancement guy in NXT. Does he play up a super-Irish thing? He could get somewhat over as a no-frills sort of menace. Reminds me of Bradshaw in some respects, but I don't know if he can talk.

* Al Snow as a trainer/producer.

* Damien Sandow to win the IC Title from Miz, because someone has to.

* Braxton Sutter and Allie to run around NXT as a power couple doing Mr. Regal's head in.

* The Hardys to serve as a team to put some of the newer wave guys over. I'd like to see The Revival beat the piss out of them. Jeff could sell some t-shirts. Matt can try and reinvent himself, but none of the Broken Matt Hardy stuff. I'd actually like to see a feud with John Cena, where he talks about how they were both swelling up on SmackDown at the same time, but the machine got behind Cena and Hardy became public enemy #1.

* I would sign The Wolves and have them tear it up with American Alpha, The Revival and DIY.

* Drew McIntyre has got something. I don't know why, but I think he'd fit in on RAW, where he can beat the piss out of Sheamus.

* Eli Drake to NXT to see what he's got. I haven't seen enough of him, but I hear mixed things. If he gets over with something, cool, but if not, you can always cut him later. I'd consider putting him in a tag team with Patrick Clark. Don't ask me why. I think I want to see Drake playing up that he was once on The Rock's show, and I think I want Patrick Clark to also have an annoying "I once met a celebrity" gimmick by building on his Trump supporter thing he trialed.

* EC3 would be a tremendous signing. I'd like to see him go right after Cena, but I know that won't happen. I like the idea of him having a bodyguard and winning the US Title.

* James Storm to be in a faction with Bobby Roode, Austin Aries and Roderick Strong on RAW.

* Jessie Godderz to NXT and see if he develops into anything.

* Bobby Lashley with a manager (Zeb Colter? Jim Cornette in a dream?) to feud with Brock Lesnar.

* Mahabali Shera to NXT to see if he grows into anything worthwhile.

* Mark Andrews to the Cruiserweight Division.

* Gregory Helms as an agent.

* Mike Bennett and Maria for a feud with John Cena and Nikki Bella.

* Moose to NXT to start a Goldberg-like streak and see if it catches on.

* Rockstar Spud as the manager to a team of heel cruiserweights.

* Trevor Lee for the Cruiserweight Division.

* Gail Kim to help out the Women's Division on RAW.

* Sienna to help out the Women's Division on RAW.

* Jade to help out the Women's Division on SmackDown.

* Marti Belle to help out the Women's Division in NXT.

* Elijah Burke to do commentary in NXT.

* Mike Tenay to join the commentary table for cruiserweight matches and for the first matches of new talent in NXT and on the main roster.

[Simple Fan]

Shera can fuck off. No way WWE wants him. Not t even worth a NXT spot. Same for Mark Andrews. Only guys I tmreally see WWE interested in are EC3, Lashley,and The Hardys. Hardy's have their doubts about working for MeekMahon again though.

[Simple Fan]

Also Burke doesn't need to be on NXT commentary. They have a good set up now and he would ruin it.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Honestly going be word of mouth when it comes to Mark Andrews. If he sucks, cut him. I don't like Shera, but they probably want an Indian guy they can market. It seems hard to find one that doesn't suck.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Also Burke doesn't need to be on NXT commentary. They have a good set up now and he would ruin it.

I want Graves off that show. It's just an OCD thing, but I don't like him doing RAW and NXT. I'd be fine with Adam Pearce, Norman Smiley or, ideally, Christian in a non-TNA world.

[Simple Fan]

Just never really liked Mark Andrews. Trevor Lee and Andrew Everett came in and didn't really see a lot of him anymore which I didn't mind. Helms Dynasty wouldn't be a bad team for the cruiserweight division.

[Mr. Nerfect]

I think Lashley is open to working with WWE again too, so I imagine he'd go over (and be a huge deal). I think you're right about The Hardys and EC3, but I do think that they'd take back Drew McIntyre. I can see them taking Trevor Lee too. He's got something for a small guy.

Gail Kim is an interesting one, because I do think it is up to her. She's had two runs with the WWE now, but they admittedly didn't treat women seriously. If she sat down and agreed to talk to Triple H, got a reasonable pay-day, and was a featured part of the plans for the Women's Division moving forward, I could see her taking it. I could even see her getting freedom on the mic to talk about how these women didn't kick the door down -- Kim kicked it down for them by leaving. She could be billed as "The One Woman Revolution" and be a tremendous heel for them. I imagine she'd turn up in ROH though.

I do think Jade gets a look in NXT again. They gave her a look in the first place. I think she is signed especially if Kim turns down an offer. And I do think Marti Belle gets offered an NXT spot. The girls down there need someone to work with on the air that isn't Asuka and who isn't killing them dead.

Sienna is young enough, hot enough and alternative looking enough to be offered a contract. I see her starting in NXT, but I think she'll literally be seen as their replacement for Paige.

I do think they consider signing Allie and bringing her in with Braxton Sutter for that NXT run. I wouldn't expect either to get a huge push, but I could them given a little run down there, heels to get beat for house shows, some mixed tag stuff to give some of the girls experience working with the guys and vice versa, and basically doing a Tye Dillinger thing.

That's unless they are both really shit in the ring. I can't imagine Sutter being completely shit given his start in HWA and longevity in the business, but I doubt he's amazing, otherwise the WWE would have already looked at him.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Just never really liked Mark Andrews. Trevor Lee and Andrew Everett came in and didn't really see a lot of him anymore which I didn't mind. Helms Dynasty wouldn't be a bad team for the cruiserweight division.

Going to be honest -- I don't really like Everett, haha. I just think he looks way too much like an Adrian Neville without the body definition. I haven't seen an extended sample of his work, but I did watch some EVOLVE stuff, and he didn't blow me away -- but that style doesn't these days.

I don't get it... this should have singlehandedly saved the company.

[hb2k]

Please don't write it off as dead yet. This company refuses to die, and saying it's dead will feed it negative cosmic energy which will somehow increase it's chances of survival.

[hb2k]

Is a shit TV deal better than none at all? If Corgan wants to run a wrestling company (and if he's looking to rebrand he's not necessarily trying to save 'TNA') he'll hit the same stumbling block as Jarrett/GFW in that nobody wants wrestling on their station anymore). At least by buying TNA he can rebrand, and have a to deal in place to boot.

Good point, it's definitely better than nothing. But it's more telling how bad their situation has deteriorated when they make no money from TV, have a place to air the show, but can't make the money on PPV or house shows either.

Fucking hell. There's a rant I need to have at some point about TNA having a PPV deal and an honest to God great television partner in Spike TV that they pissed away with ineptitude and stupidity. What a golden chance they had.

Cody Rhodes signs one-day contract with TNA



TNA's much hyped promotion of Cody Rhodes will likely turn out to be for Rhodes to appear in a match at Sunday's Bound For Glory. Initially, Rhodes was scheduled to feud with Mike Bennett, tag teaming with his wife Brandi against Bennett and Maria Kanellis. Sides have not been agreed to so as it stands, Cody Rhodes contract with TNA is for one day only.

Due to licensing issues with his last name Cody will appear as Cody. However, his wife does not have the same issues since WWE never listed her as Brandi Rhodes, so while Cody will be listed by his first name only in the company she go by Brandi Rhodes.

The fact he went to MVP to get him a TNA contract when he was "done" with Lucha Underground. Except he actually still had a year on his LU contract, which TNA didn't find out about until after they had taped four weeks of shows with him, which then had have an entire angle edited out of each one, and then got MVP fired.

The fact he's apparently a twat according to several backstage incidences I've heard about.

"ROH regulars Austin Aries and Roderick Strong became big parts of TNA's X-Division. They even teamed up with Alex Shelley in what fans referred to as the second coming of their Ring Of Honor faction, Generation Next. After a massive snowstorm, TNA suggested the pair no-show their scheduled ROH appearance so they could make it to Florida in time for a TNA PPV. Aries and Strong stayed true to their ROH commitments, and while they both made it to Florida on time, both served a long suspension for refusing to screw over ROH. Strong was released shortly after the suspension was up, while Aries was repackaged as Austin Starr."

Well Drew says he will be there. Try and stop him.

Moments ago it was reported that top TNA star Drew Galloway had been officially removed from this Sunday’s big Bound for Glory pay-per-view, where he was set to face off against Aron Rex (former WWE Superstar Damien Sandow) to crown the first ever Impact Grand Championship.

Galloway took to Twitter just before the announcement became official and threatened TNA doctors and officials, telling them to “try and stop me” from being at Sunday’s event. The former world champion has been one of the key players for the promotion in 2016, and his loss on this weekend’s show is a major blow for TNA, who is still battling through speculation and rumor that the show may not even go on as planned. It is likely they will try and bring Galloway into the match in some kind of angle, if not in a wrestling capacity, than just to get him on the show.

According to the Observer its not just Dixie who is rumored to be sabotaging Corgan's attempts to buy the company.

TNA's Vice President John Gaburick was also rumored to be involved and the main reason due to him beliving he's getting fired the moment Corgan owns the company. He played a big role in getting the WWE involved for talks and trying to persuade the WWE to give him a job if they buy the company.

TNA's Vice President John Gaburick was also rumored to be involved and the main reason due to him beliving he's getting fired the moment Corgan owns the company. He played a big role in getting the WWE involved for talks and trying to persuade the WWE to give him a job if they buy the company.

What a rat.

[Dark One]

Let's not forget that time when TNA were assholes and robbed a man of $5,000 and him and his tag team partner of their jobs.

This is a good one.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

I don't know who that guy is.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

ROBBIE!!!!!!!!!!

[Rammsteinmad]

I don't know who that guy is.

He was in WWE around 2005/2006 (I think), but got released shortly after being filmed in the crowd at a TNA event.

Dick move from TNA to film him for so long and let everyone know about it. Also kinda a dick move for WWE to fire him for it.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Also kind of a dumb move to be there on his part.

The Highlanders were...well, they were a team. I'll say that about them.

[Rammsteinmad]

I work for Asda, but that doesn't stop me from shopping in Tesco.

I guess when you're a professional entertainer on a worldwide televised show, it's a different angle. But still... they wouldn't have fired him if it was an NFL game.

Aw well. They were never that good anyway. :p

[Rammsteinmad]

Also, this thread is amazing! I kinda want WWE to buy TNA now, and just release a Rise-and-Fall DVD, with a whole segment dedicated to stupid clips like these.

[XL]

In fairness you could do exactly the same with WWE.

so does bound for glory happen or not if so does it start with gaburick in the ring and all the wrestlers come out and beat the crap out of him

[Cool King]

I really liked them. :(

[Cool King]

Though it's probably because they're Scottish.

There's some bias from me there I guess.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I too, like Cool King, enjoyed RORY! AND ROBBIE! McAllister as The Highlanders in WWE...always cracked me up when they'd scream their names "I'M RORY!" "AND I'M ROBBIE!" Unfortunately no matches they had really ever stood out to me.

I too feel that I could be slightly biased in this due to having Scottish ancestry...may have also been a big part of why I really enjoyed Drew McIntyre pre-"3MB" and foolishly thought he would be a future WWE Champion.

The Slip and Fall of TNA coming to DVD soon.

Each disc should come with this:

I will demand royalties.

[Big Vic]

TNA will be greatly missed by the TLP podcasters.

[Damian Rey 2.0]

This thread has been amazing. Picking up my spirits big time. Dark One is my friend.

[DAMN iNATOR]

All kinds of "wrestling news" sites saying that an "unidentified third-party" has come forward and made sure TNA will at least be able to go on with BFG this weekend and possibly tapings for TV as well, and that sales talks will resume next week.

[Emperor Smeat]

The talent has been told to come to Orlando and that everything is on. Nobody knows who is paying for it. Nothing has been announced regarding a sale. Nobody has officially said the shows are on, particularly Bound for Glory, but talent is under the impression that the shows are on.

Doesn't seem like Corgan bought the company or at least a majority of it from Dixie. Nor did the WWE according to PWI.

[ClockShot]

Ooooh. The "anonymous donor" route.

The plot thickens.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Anonymous Donor: It's meee dixie!

josh matthews: awww son of a bitch!

the pope: Well, Elijah Burke here!

[Nicky Fives]

Hogan just got a pretty good payday a few months ago.....

[Heisenberg]

Hulk Hogan spending the Gawker money sounds more realistic in all this. That's just what he does brother

[Fignuts]

Hogan is one of the reasons they're in this predicament to begin with.

[Simple Fan]

Jeff Jarrett would be funny. Tobey Kieth maybe. Not Vince but Shane again? HHH? I don't know but its sounds like Dixie has been able to keep some of the company and it just like Billy Corgan and Arolux bailing them out for some ownership.

[Lock Jaw]

Shane McMahon wasn't on Smackdown last week.

Obviously busy buying TNA........

[Dark One]

TNA just isn't announcing anything because they want to build buzz in the hopes that it will be extra buys. That's their MO for everything ever.

[Dark One]

The anonymous donor?

TITO ORTIZ

[Dark One]

The entire cast of Jersey Shore will be making their return to TNA wrestling as the Board of Directors.

[Dark One]

Hoping video of another tearful yet threatening Dixie Carter speech surfaces from tomorrow morning.
