I demand to be taken seriously

:aronrex:

Did they ever explain that botched bump as like the ref being bought off or something? Or did they expect people to forget about it if they didn't talk about it.

I don't think TNA has ever tried to explain or cover up their mistakes. What's particularly wild about this is they're loving taped shows, which makes for two possibilities:

1: They're too drat lazy to re-run the spot and edit it after the fact.
2: They did re-do the spot, and that was (sadly) the best they could do with it.

Angle was on JR's podcast. Highlights:

His TNA deal expires Sept 21
TNA offered him an extension that he declined
Said his next wrestling contract will be his last and is weighing his options of who it's with
Should be ready for in-ring return in Oct, regardless of which company it's for

I hope he gets one last WWE run.

Kurt seemed "over it" when it comes to TNA.

One thing Chris James 2 missed is that he says he is donE moonsaulting off cages.

Christian's interview with Jericho was fairly safe - stuck to his early career and some generalities about TNA and his 2nd WWE run. Seemed to tread softly when it came to current WWE due to his contract coming due and his career with WWE being questionable.

There is no way in the world he is heading to WWE for any sort of in-ring capacity, and I doubt he's just going to want to do a Legends contract. So yes, he will be appearing* in a GFW ring near you very soon! :haw:

There is nothing I want to be. There is nothing I want to do.
I don't even have an image of what I want to be. I have nothing. All that exists is zero.
I would love Kurt Angle as an announcer or on-screen authority figure. I do not want to see him do wrestling moves in a ring ever again. MAYBE deliver an Olympic Slam if they decide to have Heath Slater get killed by retired guys again.

IIRC, there was a story about how Vince (after realizing Angle was insane, even by pro wrestling standards) became very very nervous about not having an Olympic gold medalist dying on his watch. It was either part of the reason why Angle was let go, or part of the reason why they haven't been interested in bringing him back (in spite of all the flowers Vince sends Angle every week), or both.

I love that crow Sting mystique. Stalking the rafters, clad in only black and white. Stoic. Taciturn. He unleashes a black bird and tethered to the talon is a note. On it is written but one word. "Doofus"
