Still, you'd think with TSN2, 3, 4, whatever, they'd toss some pittance to TNA for the rights. I mean, it's not like TNA could be choosy at this point.

Taping all their PPVs for the next year in advance is a bold move, can't wait to see how it all goes wrong.

They've gotten pretty good at it and they're hopefully not under the illusion that anyone's buying these. The ONO's have always been non-canon, no-storyline affairs. That said, there's a good chance that half the people on it won't be with the company by the time they air.

I'm more curious if someone prominently involved with the shows will die / go on a suicidal rampage.

Much worse. Jarrett was boring but at least he had a fairly long reign where he went over a lot. Sabin as TNA champ was booked like a WWE Intercontinental champ. He was champ for less than a month and lost the title on his first defence, thanks to Tito Ortiz.

Yeah Jarrett's run was painful in many ways but at least he knew enough to book himself strong.

If they can't afford Joe, how the hell is TNA paying Angle and Hardy?

Besides the obvious answer of painkillers and more painkillers, of course.

Maybe they can't afford guys like AJ and Joe because they've given 90% of their money to Angle and Hardy?

Wouldn't surprise me one bit anyway.

lol all those 50-year-olds watching TNA

What's Raw's median age? I know wrestling in general skews older, which is funny since they try so hard to appeal to children

I really want Joe to go to NJPW and have a career resurgence like AJ.

Joe going back to ROH would be fine, but there are a lot more exciting possible matches in Japan.

I guess I'm the only one that strongly disagrees? NJPW still has a handful of matches with their existing roster I want to see and the indies could use another body for big matches with all the new talent. I guess if I wanted to see samoa joe in a bunch of meaningless tag matches??

I mean he could easily do both if he wanted

Yeah I was just comparing him being a ROH regular vs being a NJPW regular. Ideally I'd like to see him with an AJ schedule, where he appears at big shows for both companies.

I wonder what kind of money he's asking for. ROH isn't using Del Rio anymore since he's too pricey for their budget.

holy poo poo, Abyss why are you still there??

The only company willing to allow him to destroy his body is TNA, other people feel too bad for him.

Nice catch.

haha seriously, my first thought as well.

Usually when WWE has a non-wrestler do a jump like that, they have 3-4 guys do the catch. I'm shocked TNA has so little regard for safety.

It's been hinted at on a couple podcasts that they do really well for themselves. The phrase "Millionaire Hoots" was used.
