I thought LU already released Hernandez? Or is he still considered under contract until the rest of his matches air on TV?

Either say, :lol:

They retain rights to contracts until season 2 status is confirmed as alive or dead, then they can decide what to do with talent if it's alive

Couldn't he just do indie dates like everyone else on LU's roster, or did he totally burn his bridges with AAA?

So does the new production deal have to do with having to rush new content out because Hernandez hosed up, or did they just decide to not bother paying all the previous production crew and moved onto hiring cheap replacements who work on credit for the home stretch?

Either way I'm more hype for new TNA than LU or NXT tonight

The buyrate was so low it would be considered Bad for DragonGate. I think was what Dave said about it.

Dave said he got about as many reports from Slammiversary as a DG show, which is still pretty sad

Also they put Hernandez over Lashley in a cage? Granted it's a TNA cage match so there was prob interference.

TNA teaming up with GFW was done because they couldn't get something done with ROH.

Their plan for an ROH collab? ROH top guy would come in and invade. And then get beat on TNA TV. And that'd be it.

I don't see how ROH could have said no, much less quickly :iiam:

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

Can TNA legally show the Hernandez matches but digitally blur him out, and not have the commentator mention him?

I mean that would be insane, but even if they did it wouldn't be the craziest thing TNA has done, and it would save them having to come up with new storylines/footage to fill the time they have left on TV.

He's in WWC and NWA now, one of which has never worked with TNA and the other doesn't want to ever again, so that's even unlikelier than this situation getting resolved and Hernandez coming back anytime soon

I was making a joke. Apolo is also a giant roided Puerto Rican, you see, and worked with TNA previously as well.

I genuinely believe they are still going to show the matches and just hope Lucha Underground doesn't notice

i watched tna because i have nothing else to do, they dont purposely show hernandez or mention him in the battle royal but he's in the background a decent amount. they however don't show his elimination or any eliminations he does so we go from a fullish ring to commercial with only 3 guys left in it. So far it seems like they cut the tag match all together. Seems Matt Hardy isn't happy about this because his push gets cut. On twitter he says he wishes all smaller wrestling companies can actually start working together and not against each other to take down the boogeyman that is WWE.

they aired Magnus vs. James Storm from Slammiversary instead of the tag team match.

Ninety-one? There are ninety other "Tiger Drivers"? Do any involve actual tigers, or driving?
The Hernandez thing is pretty great after years of TNA loving over indy promotions with their ever-changing answer to "can we show guys from your roster wrestling on our DVDs?".
