I'll believe he's retired after I've seen it with my own eyes two more times.

If HBK is back for that many matches I might re up my network sub just to watch him. I caught a clip of his promo last night about picking his bff everyday of the week, twice on Sundays. He is instantly the best promo in the company. I miss Shawn Michaels.

As I have said (and #1-wwf-fan has echoed this sentiment), and it's not exactly a bold prediction: Shawn Michaels is going to be the best worker in the company when he comes back. Remember how he was so good 2002-2010? It's going to be an even greater gap this time, because he knows how to promo, sell and will work wisely.

Rumored that the Saudi Gov. wants The Rock at the next Saudi show in April 2019 after WM to appear as "The Champion".
Couple that w/ those rumors of Rock vs Roman at WM35....and that the Saudi gov is willing to shell out $20 million for the Rock to appear...and Rock winning/beating Roman at WM35 is an actual real possibility. https://dirtysheets.net/2018/10/01/e...-for-the-rock/ |

I'm interested to see what The Rock's stance on that is. I had him pegged to win the Universal Title from either Reigns or Triple H at Mania (Trips wants that match and you know it), but working Saudi when he's dropped hints he wants to be President one day...it's dicey. But world leaders shake hands with pieces of shit all the time. It'll be interesting to see how that all turns out.
Lol if Rock takes the money and donates it all to women's shelters or something. |

Seats 25,000 normally, so I imagine will be set up for 30-35,000? |

Must be really low interest for the 2nd show considering the arena for the Greatest Rumble held almost triple the amount.
Then again, the main reason why the first show sold well was due to the government buying most of the tickets and giving them away I believe. |

I don't know if they had more than 30,000 legit for the last one so I think this is a good. I think the card could be incredible if they let it be. Sure it will likely be hurt by the odd audience, you know if there are couches and shit and business meetings in the ringside.

It was around 60k but the arena holds 62k-68k for wrestling which is why there was a lot of empty space at ringside.
Even with WWE's habit of fluffing the numbers, probably was close to being legit as a number due to a mix of WWE not selling tickets directly to fans and government making sure the place was packed. |

Jesus Christ, who writes Ronda Rousey's tweets for her? Quite intense.

Thank god, Don Callis is an awful announcer. He reminds me of Kevin Nash. Witty guy in a certain context, but when it goes to putting it into practice...yikes. Impact is doing worse since he's come around, I believe (despite people on here that are determined to say it is good), and his commentary makes him sound like they got a smark and put them in the booth and told them to act like a "cool heel."
A bit surprised to hear that about backstage turmoil in New Japan. Harold Meij sounds like a genius in everything I've read about him. Like an actual genius and not an Eric Bischoff genius. So rare to hear anything "heel" coming in about New Japan. |

Some twitter insiders reporting Sponsors (like Snickers) are starting to 'put heat' on WWE to cancel Crown Jewel. If they cancel most matches will be moved to Survivor Series.
Vince is said to 'not want to cancel' via $$$$$$$$$ but some in company are saying to listen to the sponsors and this is 'very bad pr' for WWE. |

TNA currently gets <200,000 viewers. Just because you like it, doesn't mean that it's working. There's a difference between a subjective statement and an objective one. |

He loves money, but sometimes you make money with smart investments. Sometimes you don't take $500,000,000 for a shitty job that is going to get you bust and all your assets repossessed. Sometimes the job that pays far less is going to be the one you can do guilt-free and nurture into more opportunities.
That's what bothers me about the three-hour Raw thing. "Oh, but they get paid so much." Yeah, but it also helps kill interest in everything, drives down revenue streams, and helps ensure no one gets over as a star that can make you buckets more money than that deal ever could. Or even if it isn't more money, it'll be enough money to pay some nice dividends to your investors and not have to stress. This "more, more, more" attitude they have is only going to be sustainable for so long before suddenly people, networks, investors, sponsors, etc. don't want anymore. And then it looks like they're shrinking, even if they're going back to a normal size. |

I don't give a shit if it's better than 2017 -- it's no more successful than 2017, and I didn't give a shit about TNA in 2017 anymore than I did about TNA in 2016 or 2015. 250,000 people giving a shit about this is not enough to resurrect it -- especially when that number gets smaller, and smaller, and smaller. |

Harold Meij has denied reports that talent is unhappy, but said something weird. Something about treatment of talent varies. He also praised Tama Tonga who defended teh company, and Meij said he got no prompting. It feels...odd. I don't think Meltz would make it up, and he wouldn't say "people you wouldn't think would leave are thinking about it" for no reason, but Meij's response is, like, why make a mountain?
It's going to be an interesting space to watch. |

My Imoact thread alone is proof more people are interested. They've been way more successful this year than in years past, did you not read the part about selling tickets and doing live events. I'm not saying their doing big numbers but the company has rebounded and are headed in the right direction.

What does "rebounded" even mean? They are still on Pop TV, still have no viewers, still have no interest and still have Eli Drake. It's TNA. It's beyond a joke at this point. Let it die so John Morrison goes back to WWE and...well, I think he's the only person I give a shit about there. Well, maybe Scarlett Bordeaux. |
