(Alittle "Paul Titan Update") I started training and competing in Strongman events again (the guys pulling trucks and pressing logs on ESPN) The match was actually the day before a competition and I cut weight to compete in a lower weight class. So basically I cut 11 lbs in 3 days, did the match with Swoggle, got a couple hours of sleep, injured myself in the contest.... and still placed third.


Ironically enough, at the show with Swoggle, Jeff Jarret was there too. He was really nice, we talked some, and he said to "get some stuff together" and go to bat for me to get a tryout in TNA (so if I do get a tryout, I'd have EC3, Snow and Jarrett all pulling for me)

So I'm training and polishing some in ring stuff up right now. There's a strongman competition in June I have a very good chance of winning. My idea is win the competition, then send the stuff in so I have more accolades to my name, which should help my chances in getting signed.
Nice, good luck man. Even if we're mocking TNA right now for losing the big stars, it still would be damn good exposure.

Just, uh, have a lawyer look over the contract so you don't give up 10% of everything else you earn.

You thought about getting down to Florida for one of the NXT tryouts?

I'm also gonna play Devil's Advocate here after reading Anthem's explanation of why they're letting people's contracts expire/ not renewing.

"Supposedly" Dixie had promised the talent huge paydays and their pay scale was unreasonable for a company that wasn't making that money back. For Mike Bennett, Dixie paid him $250,000 a year, plus what they were paying Maria, which is a HUGE paycheck for someone who just got to the company (and isn't a household name to wrestling fans). Anthem's justification is basically, take that money, find 3 or 4 guys for that price, and advertise those guys instead of paying one guy a quarter million a year.

From a business standpoint, if you can get rid of one Mike Bennett and get three "Paul Titans" out of it (indie guys who are young, athletic, good workers that you can mold for the next 10 years) and spend the rest of that quarter mil on advertising your new stars.... why wouldn't you?

I'd agree, but now they're rumoured to bring in Rey Mysterio who won't come cheap...

To be fair more wrestling fans know who Maria is over Bennett. She was in the WWE and he wasn't. Also the Playboy spread.
