I have a weird respect for any wrestler who can fleece a money mark like Dixie.

I mean, Jeff did get TNA to foot the bill for his crazy title... right? Or did he pay for it out of pocket like a mark.

PWInsider is reporting that the new Slammiversary main event won't be for the world title, haha

quote:

TNA changed the planned Slammiversary PPV main event of Kurt Angle vs. EC3 from that night to the 7/1 episode of Impact Wrestling (which is titled "Bell to Bell") as there was no way for the company to conceivably tape episodes that would air after the PPV without spoiling their plans. The company is working on plans for a new main event, but it won't have the TNA title on the line.

Ok, so it's really quite simple.

It's a reverse ladder match, so you have to climb a ladder to hang a title belt in order to win.

But in order to be eligible to hang the title belt you have to score a pinfall or submission.

If you're pinned or forced to submit, you get put in a penalty box for like 2 minutes.

Five men enter, they have a five man match. First man to score a pin or a submission gets to start the reverse ladder match where he has to hang up the title belt to win the title belt. The Guy who got pinned or submitted has to sit in the penalty box for like two minutes or something. You can only hang up the belt if you got a pin/submission over the other guy.

It's overcomplicated nonsense that usually ends up being made even more daft by getting overbooked to gently caress. It's going to be the first time I watch TNA since Aries looked like he was winning that tournament. Proper car crash telly.

OK, I remember that now it was as bad as the rules made it seem. Wait... the title isn't on the line though. Tag title King of the Mountain? X-Division?

They've done that before, they should do a reverse casket match or inferno match instead if they want to try something new.

Reverse cage match. All the matches happen outside the ring while the crowd is locked in a cage inside the ring and forced to watch.

Wow they've done 8 KOTM matches? I thought it was just a goofy stip Double J came up with for a couple matches.

Mick Foley was in one!

That one ended with Samoa Joe joining the Main Event Mafia after an angle where he killed Main Event Mafia member Scott Steiner with a sword out of revenge for the Mafia beating him up.

Man, I was hoping that when TNA brought back the King of the Mountain match, they would combine it with the Reverse Battle Royal. As in, the entire roster starts on the outside until 5 men slowly make it into the ring to start the KotM part, except that you have to throw people over the top rope to be eligible to hang up the title, and you get eliminated after you have been thrown over the top rope 3 times.

The DX-Division belt.

A reverse Royal Rumble. Everyone starts in the ring and every 90 seconds a name is drawn out of the hat and that person has to survive for 30 seconds in order to stay in the match. Whoever eliminates that person who has their name drawn in that 30 second survival wins 3 points. Whoever has the most points by the end of the match wins.

quote:

According to prowrestling.net, a TNA performer had reached out to the site noting that they were frustrated over the company showing off a new X Division Title belt because TNA was behind on paying talent. The same source also stated that employees of the company are paid on time, but the independent contracts (wrestlers and production) fall victim to the late pay. The feeling is that talent will receive checks this week, due to the fact that they have TV tapings and a PPV coming up.

Prowrestling.net clarifies that the X Division Title belt is not a new one. It is the one they already had with a new paint job. TNA has not commented on the latest allegations of pay being late.

Next show is the June 24 TV taping

flashy_mcflash
Feb 7, 2011

That's exactly what happened last time. They were late on pay, but made sure to issue checks on Taping Day so production and the wrestlers wouldn't walk off. This actually may be their business model at this point -- leave the paycheque money in the bank earning interest unless you absolutely have to pay the employees.

Two things: One, a page ago someone asked about King Mo. He talked about TNA as recently as February and according to him he's still on a PPA deal, TNA just hasn't called him in a very long time about appearances. For some reason they're keeping the King Mo card in their pockets.

Also I wish I could say I was surprised that Slammiversary is going to be just as pointless as BFG. I wish so hard. Jesus, I know you've all probably heard about how the product is better than it has been in a very long time, but it's things like this that brought TNA to this point. The loving incompetent management.

EDIT: Also jesus KotM again, really? Goddamn. The only decent gimmick matches TNA ever came up with are Ult X and maybe Elevation X (and the most recent Ultimate X match was won when the babyfaces USED A LADDER, sure)
