September 11.

WWE is having a PPV that day so that's arguably worse (except people will probably attend and watch the PPV)

Lengthy article up at Grantland about TNA's written by someone other than the Masked Man.


quote:

“This is one of my favorite things,” she says, walking toward a psychedelic painting. “When we had our first issues with Jeff Hardy,” the TNA daredevil who has struggled with drug and alcohol abuse throughout his career, “he did this painting called The Charismatic Apology.”

I'm still amazed at how easy it is to vacillate between despising Jeff Hardy and wanting to tousle his hair because he's five.

Any chance havok ever goes to nxt?

The taint of TNA won't be easy to wash off but I suppose. From her perspective it's probably better to ride out whatever short time TNA has left since she's booked way stronger there than she ever would be in WWE/NXT.

ring ka king wasn't amazing or anything but unlike TNA it was actually fun to watch. there was some decent wrestling on there, too.

I will never stop loving Scott Steiner terrorizing frightened Indian fans. It was like the first hour of Slumdog gone horribly right.

I think Bram wore a shirt with the Ascension logo on it to the ring on this week's Impact.

It wasn't this shirt? Even still he's using the same logo which is TNA as hell.

The eye of horus isn't owned by anyone, so I don't see what the big deal is.

It's not a big deal but nonsensically trading off the gimmick he had in WWE (when he's ostensibly playing a completely different character in TNA) is pretty low-rent.

I'd just like to point out that they have a logo for tnaondemand.com at the bottom of the page. The domain has now expired and any one of you can own it for the low, low price of you guessed it, $9.99

To be honest I don't think anyone cares enough about TNA to be outraged. The apologists on TNAsylum and TNAMecca will handwave it away somehow but anyone who would honestly be mad enough at that to stop watching, already stopped watching.

Josh is going to host "Are you For Real?" with Puppet Dixie and Eric Young.

The TNA version of this has more mileage than Impact itself so they'd do well to run with it.

Honestly I love this kind of signing because, like Brodus, it forces the Meccasylumers to twist themselves into knots to defend guys they were bashing three months ago.

So is WGN going to give TNA the more hours of TV that Dixie apparently thinks they need to stave off 'dying on the vine'?

flashy_mcflash
Feb 7, 2011

WGN would have to be the stupidest company alive, stupider than TNA, to pay more than Spike did for the rights, which means that after UTA takes a cut they're going to be losing money like mad. WGN might inject some funds here and there to keep their new property afloat but that's hardly sustainable.

There's a bunch of Bozos. The one most people know, Bob Bell, original Chicago Bozo is dead. The 1980s and 1990s Chicago Bozo is 62.

CM Punk looks great for 62!

If IGF can put together an Angle/Sapp match that'll be worth it even if Angle dies after.

Angle is busted up but I think he could still have a great match, especially against Daniel Bryan who has gotten good matches out of Kane.

I think anything Angle could ever potentially do in WWE, in or out of the ring, would be to put over existing talent. Rusev, Bryan, whoever.
