Pop TV president Brad Schwartz on TNAMiami Herald posted:“Dixie is so impressive, and she’s such an amazing spirit with a good, positive energy to her,” Schwartz said. “By the end of the meeting, she had won everyone in the room over, and the next day it was unanimous, ‘Let’s do this.’ Still no indication what kind of deal it was. Though Brad's question of, "Can we get it?" seems to hint toward something. Why isn't it Dixie and TNA worried about "getting" the deal? My guess is because Pop were trying to "get it" as a time buy.

If Josh and Pope are, on average, 75% as bad as they were at Bound for Glory, I'm not sure what commentary teams I WOULDN'T take over them, except for heel Michael Cole.

My favorite moment int he history of Taz commentary, which as you'll remember is about 10 goddamn years, is when TNA did that Wrestle-1 co-promoted One Night Only show last year. Tenay tries to give a bio on Taiyo Kea; he only gets out that Kea's from Hawaii when Taz goes off on some tangent. When Taz is done with that, he wants Tenay to keep talking about Taiyo Kea, so he says "Hawaii Hawaii Hawaii Hawaii, g'head"

I've taken some shots at Kevin Kelly but he's nowhere near as bad anything post Don West/Mike Tenay TNA has put together. Kevin Kelly is actually good when he calls shows without Striker or Corino.

Kelly and Striker already have called one major NJPW together (King of Pro Wrestling from this October). Both the English and Japanese feeds are on NJPW World if you're a subscriber.

POP TV is in something like 70 million homes. But no idea what their viewership is like. What's telling is they don't have a corporate page where they could archive press releases with stuff like "X amount of people tuned into watch Y, yay us!" So, I'm gonna guess they're gonna do Destination America numbers.

Why would anyone turn to the TV guide channel if they have digital cable? And who has regular cable except for really old people at this point?
