Apparently it's not that expensive for 70,000 followers. Only about $25. Does absolutely nothing for you since you've got no additional eyes on you and it's just a fake number on a screen.

BRB going to buy myself a million followers and proclaim myself bigger than Meltzer.

I'm surprised TNA's marketing budget hasn't gone towards trying to buy enough bots to get them more followers than WWE.

I’m surprised Dixie doesn’t shell out for Tout followers so she can say TNA has more Tout followers than WWE.

That's a shame.

In a (possibly not) unrelated topic, what was the last match to get a minus star from Dave?

Yep, though he did add that no one gave a gently caress:

Besides being poorly promoted and having a lackluster lineup, the 6/28 show in Orlando at the Impact Zone, the last event of five straight days of taping, was the first live PPV show since the move to Destination America whittled away greatly at viewership. And TNA was doing in the 8,000 buy level on Spike. Our feedback was at about the level we'd get for a Dragon Gate show, and significantly lower than TNA PPV shows of the past.

Couldn't Matt go back to ROH? Or did he really sever all ties and any possibility of working with them when he returned to TNA?

afaik Matt is on good terms. He's still the mentor for the kingdom so with a possible Cole faceturn coming up I could see him coming back in

people will actually buy fake twitter followers for people as a way to annoy or harass them since their interactions will fill up with bot follows, plus then you can point to it as a way to discredit someone. I don't have any confidence in bob ryder but I also definitely think one of we wrestling trolls on twitter might do it a SWERVED

As noted, Kurt Angle will be undergoing surgery to remove a benign tumor in his neck. The tumor was discovered in 2012 but there were no problems associated with it until now - the tumor was starting to block a nerve in Angle's arm and he was beginning to get some atrophy in the arm. The surgery to remove the tumor is not a major deal and Angle expects to be back in the ring in three weeks.

There are so many Faustian deals going on in TNA that I'm fairly sure that TNA will never die and Kurt Angle will be forced to wrestles for them until the heat death of the universe.

So he's literally only getting cancer treatment because it is causing muscle atrophy. Hahaha, classic Kurt! <freeze frame, laugh track, credits roll over a picture of Owen Hart lying on the ground>

In this rendition of "The Picture of Dorian Gray", Dorian Gray will be portrayed by all of TNA, and Kurt Angle is the picture.
