and now Storm, Magnus and maybe Aries are leaving. Although there might be a GFW Invasion angle brewing.

Looks like TNA is Dying. Only a Matter of Time to it Dead and Barried

And I'll be the lone man at the funeral proceedings.

RIP. TNA used to be good. The Hogan and bisch came in, then the rest just kept going down hill

He's just so awful! Who actually believes him wrestling let alone having a belt is good for business?

TNA do.

I haven't seen this match, but his matches and promos against Angle in ~2009 were very good. Ah, they were such good days for TNA. I still laugh at Hogan getting booed on his very first TNA show for having a go at Jarrett.

Given that it's a newly invented belt (with a tortured and uninspiring history - it's yet another rebranding of the TV/global/legends title) I wouldn't put too much weight on that.

Kinda intrigued by the whole GFW/TNA thing. It's looking more and more like either an invasion or a "reboot" of TNA.

Jarrett in his MMA gimmick was really fun so there's that.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Jarret couldn't draw flies with s**t

It's just very typical of TNA... if you've got someone like Magnus leaving for GFW, or even someone like Matt Morgan who is with GFW but is familiar to TNA crowds, why the hell are they using Jarrett as "the guy" to hold the opposition fed belt and to lead the invasion? He should've been an owner - nothing more, nothing less.

It's a shame that they were so TNA about it and did it on a day's planning. You could've had Magnus working as a mole against TNA and secretly working for GFW for months. It would've spared us Micky James suffering minor bruising after being thrown many metres onto train lines.

Apparently TNA has been buying fake twitter followers for wrestlers and Dixie has been retweeting all these tweets about how great the product is from accounts that look super fake.

sad times, but they've dug their own grave

I assume it's to prove to DA that they've got such a massive fan following online but Bob ******* Ryder of all people jumped from about 5000 to 70000 in one day. Like, could they at least fake it with someone that people care about?

EC3 is finally the champ, about damn time.

TNA ****ed up yet again

An issue between TNA and Lucha Underground has led to a number of planned TNA TV segments being pulled from upcoming episodes of Impact Wrestling, storylines being dropped and one recent TNA signing being dropped from the company, PWInsider.com has learned

At the center of the controversy with Shawn Hernandez, who recently returned to TNA and became part of the Beatdown Clan after appearing on the first season of Lucha Underground on The El Rey Network.

TNA sources indicate that Hernandez was signed to a deal by the company after informing TNA that contractually, he was free and clear to do so. After Hernandez made a number of appearances at TNA TV tapings, Lucha Underground approached TNA and informed them that contractually, Hernandez was still their contracted talent, that he was not released from his obligations to their promotion an that he could not legally appear on TNA broadcasts.

As you might imagine, this put TNA into a legally actionable position and with Impact Wrestling already pre-filmed well in advance, to boot. I am told that TNA management attempted to work out an agreement with Lucha Underground that would allow the existing footage to be used, including offering to pay Underground for Hernandez' appearances, but Underground turned down all those attempts. Given that the producers of the series come from a film and TV background, I was not surprised to hear that.

Since TNA cannot use the footage, the decision was made to pull anything involving the BDC and all of their current storylines are completed and done. TNA will be replacing those matches and vignettes with existing material, including some matches from the TNA Slammiversary PPV from a few weeks ago. TNA also intends to film material at their TV Tapings later this month that they can drop into the segments that are no longer available to be used. The matches that were filmed are, for now, completely scrapped and TNA will have to re-edit all of their TV.

Hernandez, obviously, is gone from TNA and until Lucha Underground begins filming additional material, is now in a position where he's losing work as TNA wanted to use him and cannot.

As far as the rest of the BDC, MVP, Kenny King, etc. will effectively be off those TV episodes until TNA can get new material with those talents so a number of talents who worked those tapings are now off television for the next several weeks as well.

Hernandez bought down the BDC from teh inside.

Friends and Fan this is a message from Mr Angles Management. Yesterday while Mr Angle was preparing for his travel to the UK for Comic Con. he was experiencing sever pain, he lost feeling in his extremities, and starting to have some difficulty breathing. His wife, Giovanni, very concerned rushed him to the hospital, where doctors informed Kurt that his symptoms were the result of his recent surgery that left a large buildup of fluid on his spinal cord. Since the condition could be fatal, they immediately underwent emergency surgery to relieve the pressure on his spine. The surgery went well and doctors believe he will have a full recovery. Kurt apologies to his friends and fans that ... He will not be appearing at Comic Con in London this weekend as hoped. Kurt is doing well and we will keep you posted on his progress.

Kurt, please just retire and never wrestle again. A problem like this isn't something that you should put yourself through.

Spoiler: and the new New TNA Authority Figure is....

you guessed it. ol' Double J, Jeff Jarrett.

 

[Cleavy]

oh TNA!

Spoiler: from today's tapings

Eric Young put his feet on the ropes to defeat Chris Melendez (the one-legged guy). Per the stipulation, Young gets Melendez’s leg and he can’t use it in wrestling any more

tv deal extended until end of year it seems

tv deal extended until end of year it seems

But does anyone still care?

For all the comment and coverage that TNA still gets, does anyone still watch it? It's not available here in Australia - and the ratings in the US, and even the leech counts on torrent sites suggest that no one is.

I still don't quite understand why ROH doesn't get the coverage that TNA does. It's PPVs (apparently) have started getting better numbers than TNA, it has more potential viewers (for now, with the same DA audience as TNA, plus the Sinclair stations)... and it doesn't suck as a company.

I dare say that if ROH had ever gotten the coverage that TNA has undeservedly gotten over the last few years, it would be a bigger company than it is now.
