Technically TNA is owned by Panda Energy. Dixie is the boss' daughter.
Jim Cornette trashed TNA for airing her speech, called her a "money mark" and claimed that Russo and his cronies are taking her for a ride.
She ain;t bad to look at - I'd take her for a ride.
Wait, there are cronies in wrestling these days?
Yeah, I wiki'd her and saw she got in on it because WWE was a monopoly and she figured she could make some cash being it's competitor.
Paul Heyman believes that TNA has only managed to survive this long because they took a look at Vince McMahon's market share (let's say 90%) and figured that if they could produce a similarly styled show that they could guarantee themselves "X" percent of the market.
And that's why TNA has always been WWE-lite, or the new/old WCW.
It will be interesting to see what they do with Hogan, if Bischoff has anything to do with the company in creative and if they try to change the business.
They better hurry up though.
Gabe Sapolsky (former ROH booker/current DragonGate USA dude) is teaming with Davey Richards (fucking great in-ring performer) to start a new promotion.
It's called EVOLVE and based on what their website looks like the promotion is gonna be treated as a legit sporting contest where wins, losses, draws and winning percentage mean something.
As usual the indys are gonna change the game and TNA or WWE will copy, much like they did with ECW. That said this "real sport" thing is not gonna work for WWE or any promotion that wants to feature high flyers.
The high flying is what makes a match look fake. Watch a Bourne movie and check out the fights - close combat, lots of fists, forearms, elbows. That's a real fight. Not some Shooting Star Press.
Well, TNA had their Turning Point PPV (Hogan still hasn't actually appeared for TNA due to Australian Tour)
After Carter's speech about stepping up, change and shit the 2 Main Events certainly did.
Desmond Wolf (Nigel McGuinness) v Kurt Angle was apparently extremely good, as was AJ Styles v Chris Daniels v Samoa Joe.
"Smarks" are whining that "casual" fans are gonna be pissed that they paid $35 for the PPV and Hogan wasn't on it.
I say the smarks are fucking morons. Those casual fans are the people TNA is trying to reach by signing Hogan. They come to see Hogan and (TNA hopes) they stay because the 2 Main Event matches featured some kick ass shit.
The casual fan has no fucking idea who Wolf is - but after the match with Angle they'd be impressed. Maybe some casual fans don't even know who the fuck Angle is - they'd be impressed after this PPV.
And those same casual fans would have seen AJ, Daniels and Joe put on quite a show (apparently). And when WWE has their Survivor Series headlined by Cena v HHH v Shawn Michaels this month any casual fan who sees both shows, or highlights of both shows is gonna see that TNA is offering a real alternative to WWE.
Here's hoping TNA continues to build momentum behind Styles, Joe, Daniels, Wolf, Morgan, Hernandez and others. It's about fucking time this company started to wake up.
That sounds right. Hogan is the draw, not the show. If grampa is the show, you might as well shut it down.
Well, some of the internet fans are mental midgets and think they know the business better than the people in the business.
How can you bash a the #2 company when they sign Hulk Hogan and have a working agreement with Eric Bischoff?
The ONE consistent complaint about TNA has been that they're shit at marketing their product. The stories are crap/decent/good/great just like WWE but no one knows shit about the company or the wrestlers.
Internet fans have complained about that for YEARS!
So TNA finally does something to get publicity and the internet fans STILL complain?
WTF?
Stupid smarks.
So tonight on RAW I saw the preview for the straight to video release of The Marine 2 with Ted Dibiase so let me ask a stupid question. Does this mean that Dibiase will be the next guy to "get a big push" and is there something major in the works for him?
They're planning on "turning him face" - which would mean he's gonna become a good guy.
I'm guessing something will go down with Orton soon enough.
BTW, the movie is likely to be shit (big surprise)
And did anyone notice the blatant attempt to push some newer guys on that Raw?
People have only been complaining all year about WWE featuring the same old crew at the top.
Now that Sheamus has got the shot at Cena internet smarks are complaining he's not worthy! LMAO!
Dumb shits
