Urgent Meeting Held today by TNA's Top Stars w/ Dixie Cater
From Rajah.com (because TPWW.net isn't fast enough):

We've received word that a major meeting is takeplace this afternoon in Atlanta, the site of tonight's Bound For Glory PPV.

Several of TNA's top stars - including Kurt Angle, Samoa Joe, Team 3D, and Christian Cage - have banded together and are meeting with TNA President Dixie Carter to discuss "urgent" matters that they feel are threatening the company. There is tremendous frustration with TNA's creative direction - especially the booking of TNA's 2-hour iMAPCT! debut.

TNA's top names have had enough and are demanding change. They feel Jeff Jarrett and his booking team are leading TNA to disaster and are demanding a change. Currently, Jeff Jarrett sets the "big picture" agenda for the company while Vince Russo and Dutch Mantell write the scripts and fill in the blanks.

While Jeff Jarrett has a long standing business relationship with Dixie Carter and her father Bob, it is believed that the star power of the men who called the meeting is significant enough to make their case heard. Both Kurt and Karen Angle have also grown close to Dixie Carter and her husband in recent months.

There has been talk of this type of meeting before, but it has never gotten this far until today.

About time someone said something...just hope it leads to somewhere, and not somewhere worst.

Seeing as Kurt was one of the wrestlers there, and probably biggest factor for them at this meeting, I doubt his title is going to Cage.

Because Kurt Angle won all three titles at one point, and people assumed that he was playing politics. Never mind that he is the biggest star TNA has, and the best choice as an establishing Champion, and deserves to be the top guy.

I'm glad the guys in the lockerroom are doing this. Judging by the results of Bound For Glory thus far, I actually think it's working. The LAX defeated XXX, which is the good move. Russo booking probably would have put XXX over (he has a bit of a thing for them), and had them become #1 Contender's, never mind that we're going to have heel Champs soon.

Eric Young also won the Fight for the Right Battle Royal. I was almost sure we were going to see Jeff Jarrett show up and win the match. This makes Eric Young the #1 Contender for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. That's something fresh, and it elevates TNA's own talent. Kurt Angle vs. Eric Young would be a great match, and it can give Young the rub, and allow him to rise up the rankings. I don't know whether or not it will happen on TV or PPV, but either way, it's got the makings of a great story. Kind of like Triple H/Shelton Benjamin when Shelton got drafted to RAW over from SmackDown!.

Angle may have more say, but he's obvious not happy. He's also not a part of the writing team. And whether or not it is actual Russo who is behind the crap is irrelevant. You're looking at it the same way Dixie Carter was. Just because it's not Russo writing the shit doesn't make it any less shit, and there needs to be a change. People blaming Russo, but it not being Russo, is not an excuse to keep things as they are.

TNA needs to get Paul Heyman writing. Heyman can do anything with anyone. The dude made Albert somewhat interesting. Jim Cornette is another guy with a great mind for the business, but his style is a little older than Heyman's, and dare I say a little less relevent. Cornette would be great as an adviser to young talent, and helping Heyman out with some ideas. Kind of a back-up writer.

It seems the guys in TNA are actually putting their foot down and wanting to be an alternative to the WWE.

The booking of Bound For Glory continues to make sense. AJ Styles & Tomko defeated Ron Killings & Consequences Creed to win the TNA World Tag Team Championship. That's 3 for 3 in TNA's favour now.

I honestly think that TNA might actually pick up in coming weeks.

I actually doubt that. I think they just went with the upset fan-favourite moment. Eric Young won't beat Angle, but I think he will get the chance to wrestle a good match, before he goes down cleanly. That's honestly the way it should be.

The fight I believe isn't really against Russo but Jeff Jarret who controls the booking, and since Russo is his man to fill in the blanks, plus the fact that most of the storylines remind me of WCW in it's final days under Russo control...I have a feeling blaming him for this crap is pretty dead on (along with Jeff Jarret).

Vince Russo is a terrible booker is one of the main reasons IC...and it seems to change weekly how much influence Russo has, but it's not like we're seeing ANYTHING of worth on Impact anyway.

Say what you will, but the TV took a noticeably turn for the worse once Russo hopped on board.

Um, in other stories I've read, Russo is listed as being on Kurt's "side" in these matters. As for Heyman being able to do "anything", I love Heyman, but if you put him in Russo's spot and fired Russo, there would be .001% difference in TNA, tops, from what it sounds like. Think about it.

Firing Dutch Mantel, however...

I wouldn't be suprised if this turns out to be any sort of a work. Mirroring "Creative Control" even.

Say what you will, but the TV took a noticeably turn for the worse once Russo hopped on board.
Eiether way, he's not behind the shitty writing. His influence varies, but he's still a minority influence. Dutch and Jarrett are much bigger problems.

We have no clue who is writing what. All three of them suck ass, lets face it.

Is that a concession that your argument was bullshit?

Anyway, we have Dixie Carter herself indicating the hand Russo and Dutch have, which I'd say is a decent clue.

No, it's me shooting down that either of us know what's really happening seeing as how neither of us are there and the story of how much power everybody has changes by the day and the source. Point being, it's irrelevant because the product is the shits and it needs a change.

Well, except I have a seemingly reliable source, and you seem to be pulling your sentiment out of your ass. You're sort of trying to pull a reverse Occam's Razor, which is an earmark of a shite argument. The real answer to IC is that Russo is a convenient scapegoat, which is why he takes almost 100% of the blame.

I'll take anecdotal evidence over the rectal variety.

People blaming Russo, but it not being Russo, is not an excuse to keep things as they are.

Why do you choose to view things as you'd like? I didnt say it wasn't shit, and I didn't say that they shouldn't make a change. I just want the smarks to stop bitching about Russo all the time, when clearly they know nothing.

Exactly, but Russo was the one who killed WCW so they like to blame him for anything he could be relativley related to.

Right. It's easier to blame him. Personally, I'd like to see pretty much everyone writing for TNA in the unemployment line, but Russo's not so much to blame as he is the guy that's easiest to blame. Do I want him in charge of TNA? No.

Another reason you should see Penn and Teller.

One episode (reparations) has an intro where they talk about how they did a show busting the war on drugs, and they were potheads, and then they busted environmental issues, and they were corporate puppets, and so on and so on.

If you don't agree with everything someone says, you are totally against them. If you say something similar to someone else, you're in the same group.

Sure, Dixie's missing the point, but she's arguing that the fans are wrong as a defense of the product, which is off the mark. Simply acknowledging that the problem is not Russo, and further that Jarrett is far more to blame for any shit you might see on TV, doesn't mean you buy into the notion that therefore, it's okay.

I don't really care, mind. Russo should be fired, too. The guy gets a bad rap for destroying WCW, worse than he deserves even, but that doesn't make him a good writer, a good booker, or anything short of anathema to rasslin'.

It's just that firing him won't solve anything TNA's got going. Among other things, they need a full fledged revolution right now, and it sounds like maybe they have one.
