This is TNA's Wrestlemania people!! How am I starting a thread six minutes before the start of the show?!? This is serious business!!!!! Actually, it isn't serious business. They will probably take a loss on the event. The performers probably don't care. It's like Starrcade 2000. Whatever. Let's watch anyway.
Link?

Hardy not in the heavyweight loop anymore? Speaking of not in the loop. Me. No idea what's going on in TNA these days.

Kujoe retweeted a picture of the crowd.
It looks like an AAW show.

Rampage Jackson and Tito Ortiz were supposed to be a huge part of the lead for BFG. Until the MMA company pulled each guy. Hogan doesn't have a contract. They brought back Main Event Mafia, even though all of the guys Sting recruited were guys that let him get beat down by Aces and Eights. Oh, Angle got a DUI three weeks later and they gave up the angle basically. Bully Ray is still awesome and has Brooke. But that's it. I complimented them on creating the BFG Series. I said "it's booking by numbers, and you can build guys easily without possibly f'ing up!" They seriously managed to F it up about two weeks later. I really don't think the company will be owned by the Carter's in three months. |

They managed to F up Ultimate X with Hardy, Aries, Sabin, Joe, and the masked/not masked guy. Goodness gracious.

@tnacreative I still have the cable bill from ordering Starrcade 00'. I had it signed by Evan Karagias. Let's hope this works out as well.

They have the best women's division, an interesting concept in the X Division, and a great heel. Yet they can't do anything. It's actually sad. |

I actually feel bad for them right now.
MAJOR CABLE OUTAGE HURTING BOUND FOR GLORY
By Mike Johnson on 2013-10-20 20:20:01 As it turns out, my issues with ordering Bound for Glory was not isolated. We've received 15 emails from Time-Warner subscribers that they are unable to order the PPV. So, TNA lost out on some business.

Speeps, I think CBS will buy them out. By that I mean they will get some money out and walk away. Possibly keep Dixie as a TV character. They pull some of the best ratings on that channel. Tallest midget I know, but they have a big investment in Belator. They need pro wrestling as a lead, and could get it cheap at this point. If Spike pulls out prematurely, Dixie won't even have a baby.

Those 15 people account for 37% of TNA's average buy rate.

I actually like the idea of the green team getting the tag titles. Nothing to lose there.

Jeremy Borash is one missed haircut away from being an unattractive 52 year old lesbian.

Well Bully Ray and Brooke are.
The other guys, not so much.

So is the biker gang bit still going strong? As Speeps said, really only Bully Ray and Brooke. I think the two remaining guys cost him the match tonight. Angle turned the HOF down. I actually like the move. He's going to be the new Sting, and I think Sting might actually be going to WWE. |

Relative of an 80s wrestler from the Islands acting as a bodyguard for the Women's Champion?
It feels like I've seen this before.

I'm here in spirit. I have a massive headache. I think Taz had something to do with it. Or Peyton Manning.

They cut Ultimate X short to debut their new star on a show nobody is watching.

Who's the dude that just had his hand raised in the ring? Kind of looked like a bizarro Evan Borne.
