Kurt Angle is so pitiful at this point. Said it before, but the most readily-made comparison is Davey Boy Smith after his final WWE release -- roiding hard, working out like a lunatic, obsessed with being in the ring and convinced he's always just a hair away from being on top of the business again.

I don't really keep up with TNA much but is this a men's match on a women-themed ppv? Also aren't the bromans feuding now?

1. Yes that would be a men's match

2. One Night Only PPVs are taped months in advance and so exist in an alternate timeline

EDIT: Except for the one time the Bromans won the tag titles on a ONO show, but that was TNA being carny (the event was held in Japan as a cross-promotion with Keiji Mutoh's Wrestle-1. Mutoh pressured TNA to give the Wolves the tag titles, they did, but as if to spite him the Bromans won the titles back at the Wrestle-1 ONO show)

I'm reading through the LOLTNA history and it's loving amazing.

There's another naive cable channel in the US that'll pick TNA up after Destination America right? I don't want this ride to end.

Good news from Dave on WOR! Jeff will not be using the King of the Mountain title at his upcoming tapings. Why did he win the title at all? :shrug: Nobody knows, and they have no idea what to do next, especially since they have five weeks of TV in the can!

Eh, a little variety ain't bad. One of my favorite belt designs was the old NWA US Tag Team title. The gold on the red leather really looked snazzy.

Bob Ryder was asked about working with ROH

quote:

We have had talks at various times to see if ROH would want to do business with us. They weren’t interested at the time. Maybe we should get aggressive and go after some of their unsigned talent? That would be interesting.

These people are delusional. Both companies are on television on the same night and the same channel. What would TNA have to offer them other than late paychecks?
