All this insanity because Dixies dad loves her too much. Or not enough. If only Ted Turner had been allowed to keep his play thing by a kind hearted exec at Time Warner, oh what wonders would we have seen :allears:

Did you ever think it might be because he really hates her?

They show that old Andre vs. Stan Hansen match from Japan that ended in a double DQ, only with new TNA commentary where they treat it as a tournament match happening live. Afterwards, EC3 is shown laughing it up backstage because now he has a bye into the next round.

hey mister... can u play drums while I sing and play plastic guitar???
I remember when Sabu took out that lady for no reason. I was in the front row and he came right at me and I just hit the loving floor and got out of the way, and he leapt over me and my dad and just crashed into that lady. He rolled off and pointed at the sky and then ran away. I don't think she was injured.

Also it was loving hilarious when the "Heel Section" a few seats to the side of me got pissed at Jarrett's win and threw newspapers in the air. I vaguely recall that TNA was handing them out or something to promote some press they got in the local newspaper? And I think earlier in the night they pretended to read them, bored during some Jarrett segment.

I was the biggest Raven mark and that was the most disappointing night in my wrestling history :( I had a sign with a countdown to the match that was like "X weeks until DESTINY, Quoth the Raven, Nevermore" and each week I put a different number over the X until it was zero. I think it was in the intro video for that week's PPV. And one of the nights I won "Fan of the night" and got to go backstage where I saw Jarrett's dick.

From PWInsider

quote:

TNA's Director of Touring Leaves the Company Again

There was another TNA office departure this week as Director of Touring, Mike Krewson left the company. Mike had been with the company from 2008 until 2013 but left to work for the Lucha Libre USA promotion. He returned in February 2014 but left again this week.

One reason he's leaving is to take a job as the General Manager of Baylor University's new McLane Stadium but there's speculation that his departure could be a indication TNA has no plans to resume regular touring any time soon as we go into 2016.

Krewson was responsible for booking and managing TNA's live events, handling logistics and working with the arenas. Word is that he will be replaced by Bob Ryder, who currently works talent relations, when TNA does decide to run live events. This doesn't mean they won't tour any more but it will likely be more of a "pick and choose dates" situation with the events being handled in-house by Ryder.

I wonder if, when he applied for the Baylor General Manager position, he just left TNA off his resume.

So the Mumbai ONO airs live Dec 4, they're expected to tape episodes in India afterward, they're filming 6 episodes in the UK in January, and they're discussing talks to go back to the Manhattan Center at some point next year

So the question now is do they air this poo poo on Dailymotion or get the privilege of being on and then kicked off a third station in 3 years

this year I went to one of those tapings because I hadn't seen live wrestling before, it was $15 day-of for second-row seats, and I figured it'd be fun to see the death of a promotion

next year I might go back if it's still cheap. do they still have Rockstar Spud? He and Samoa Joe were the two guys I walked away from the taping really liking

I wonder if TNA can still afford the Manhattan Center. I imagine they taped there because it's one of the few mid-sized venues equipped for it? Terminal 5 can apparently do it, since that's where Ring of Honor has run a couple of PPVs...

Never. You could have the roster use the floor as the locker room, set the ring out there, seat all the fans, and you'd have room still for a couple old Smackdown fists before sending people upstairs.

This past January they wanted it for the prestige of taping in NY after everybody thought they'd be dead as a triumphant welcome-back to TV.

This upcoming January they want it because live fan reaction and talent reaction was positive enough about working/being there last time, plus if they pull it off they've got more episodes in the can for wherever the gently caress they air, especially if they quickly end up in another situation where they're about to be kicked out again (which at this point can't be ruled out)

Can they even draw that many fans?
