Suck it
Two tears in a bucket
And then another thing
I'm not the one they'll try their luck with
Hit hard like brass knuckles
See your face through the turnbuckle dude
I got no love for you
It's really awkward when Matt gets the crowd to do the DELETE horizontal hand chop, but since there's not room in the audience to do it the crowd just starts doing nazi salutes

So apparently WWE bought the tape library, but not TNA, and Corgan is now the official majority owner and wants to rebrand the company completely.

Money mark.

I would think that if WWE buys the TNA tape library they'd have to be buying the name and other IP stuff. Or does that go hand in hand?

So, shooting two birds with one stone? I'm guessing you might be able to legally do that, but wouldn't it effectively kill the company by burying all the gimmicks and characters under legal paper mountains, forcing them to start from zero?

Not necessarily. Back in the 80s Ted Turner bought MGM/UA's back catalog of movies but ended up not buying the brand.

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

So, by WWE buying the tape catalogue, but not the brand and TV spot, does that mean if/when TNA shows footage of any of it's past matches on it's own show, that TNA have to pay WWE royalties for referencing their own product?

If so, Dixie you have out-stupid and out-pointlessed yourself. Kudos.

It's likely "WWE can use TNA's trademarks in conjunction with the tapes; TNA can use tape in conjunction with current shows."

Or not, because Dixie is dumb.

I think Dixie might have already sold the TNA name to Aeroluxe as part of the deal to finance tapings and that's why they've been pushing Impact Wrestling more.

When it all comes crashing down I suspect we're going to see one hell of a legal clusterfuck in untangling who owns what.

For some reason it just cracks me up every drat time. Sandow's tiny, sad head sniffing some giant, discolored hand. I's like some goofy Monty Python picture, but instead it's just TNA.

It it is, but my brain keeps jumping back and forth between wanting to think it is and wanting to think it's someone else's.



Cropping or no it still cracks me up every time.

So Maria's gotten herself involved in the election mess
http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chicagoinc/ct-donald-trump-apprentice-maria-kanellis-20161011-story.html

quote:

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump dismissed vulgar comments he made about women in 2005 as "locker room talk," but he fired a contestant from "The Celebrity Apprentice" for engaging in "locker room" talk.

"The Daily Show" unearthed a 2010 clip of Trump firing Illinois native Maria Kanellis-Bennett from the NBC competition. Kanellis-Bennett, a professional wrestler, accused fellow contestant Curtis Stone, a celebrity chef, of using her dressing room and leaving behind a foul smell.

Trump called the comment "below the belt" and disgusting, before declaring, "This is my boardroom. It's not a locker room. Maria, you're fired."

Most newsworthy thing involving a TNA employee in living memory.

Watch TNA take advantage of this by having an intergender match between Maria and a Trump impersonator, three years from now.
