File this under "Yeah, whatever", from one of my NYC based Facebook friends:

"So I walked out to get some lunch today at work, and since I work next to Manhattan Center, I spy 3 trucks on 35th street with Ryder markings on them. Looking a little closer, I see a piece of paper taped to the doors: 'Property of TNA entertainment'.

"So, all of TNA fits in 3 Ryder trucks. Not sure if that's sad or funny."


I worked ring crew with ECW's touring shows towards the end of the line (99-2000ish), and that sounds about right. It was usually 3-4 Uhauls. Ring equipment, some safety rails and utilizing the building's PA system, there really isn't a whole lot more to it.

TNA is Dixie. Once you realize that this is how she sees this company, and that everyone loves her (in her mind), you realize why she MUST be be on television. The dumb ignorant TNA fans could not live w/o her.

Dixie sucks, hth.

I have NEVER received the respect I deserve as the leader and founder of The Masterflock, the internet's largest and oldest Christopher Masterpiece fan group in all of history, and I DEMAND that changes. From now on, you will respect Skinty McEdger!

Russo put out another statement last night, this time the gist of which is "My working for TNA wasn't a secret, and Spike knew and loved me. Also Meltzer and Mike Johnson smell (and Mike Johnson might have made the whole thing up.)"

I would copy and past it, but his stupid site makes my virus scanner break down in tears.

I forwarded that article to Dave. If we're lucky, he'll lay into him in the next Observer.

Seriously I can't find any info at all about this announcement to the live crowd. PWInsider explicitly says Dixie didn't appear on the tapings or to the crowd, so it didn't come from her.

I actually can imagine that, "TNA is moving onwards and upwards to deliver the great wrestling you've come to expect, in an on-demand format, leveraging one of the biggest online presences in existence! YOUTUBE!"

But in the voice of a castrato Larry Zbysko.

WWE has been incredibly successful in making their brand name synonymous with "pro wrestling" to the rest of the world (getting people to call wrestling "sports entertainment" has been less successful in that regard, though). It even survived the name change from WWF to WWE.

I don't think that even WCW, at the peak of their success during the Monday Night Wars, ever managed to truly shake that association for people. TNA never even had a chance.

This is true. WWE has a total monopoly on mainstream pro wrestling that I don't ever see changing. Smaller feds have about as much chance as a startup football league trying to outdo the NFL (which, ironically, is something the WWE know a lot about)

Emergency confection port.

So if they intentionally advertise and show Dixie getting tabled tomorrow (which Bully Ray has been hyping on Twitter for a week) thus breaking the #1 rule of no violence against women, is there an outside chance Spike replaces Impact with COPS reruns next week?

it was taped forever ago. If Spike didn't want to show it it they wouldn't show it.
