ProWrestlingSheet says WWE offered Storm a sub-$100k NXT contract and TNA offered "2.5 times" their offer in Panda Energy money (guaranteed even if they pull the plug on TNA) plus better merchandising royalties

if I were James Storm, I'd be looking at it this way: no way does TNA actually survive the entire length of his contract, so he should do everything he can to make sure they fold as early as possible so he just collects a bunch of guaranteed money while not wrestling

As few as two appearances on an Internet-only WWE show is enough to get TNA to roll out the red carpet for you.

Is he? The very, very most TNA could've offered him is under 250K and in reality is probably a whole lot less.

So TNA rolled out a new website.

It uses Wordpress. But hey, that's not bad. I have plenty of clients who use Wordpress. But lets see about the theme backend.

Oh.

TNA spent $59 on their new website. :laffo:

Matt Hardy Version 1 was so great, the fact that they stuck him in the Dead-End-By-Our-Own-Design Cruiser Division instead of pushing him toward the Main Event scene sucks. It's also not surprising since the Main Event scene at that point was meat men like Scott Steiner, Goldberg, Brock, Batista, and Early 00s Triple H with Orton and Benoit both in the midst of being buried for not being meaty enough.

Wasn't V1 only around in 2003? I don't think Batista and Orton were anywhere near the main event yet

255K viewers for the 9 p.m. airing, according to Showbuzz Daily

Impact was the 129th ranked program on Tuesday night. I don't think they usually cracked the top 150 on DA, for what it's worth.

That clip is probably from the second airing. The first had a LIVE watermark, though I'm told it was actually shot earlier that day.

Yeah. I work for them and knew we used that as our guide channel. That changes Thursday but still watching TNA last night and seeing the program guide I got pretty excited at times. But only when finding out The Last Samurai was coming on and I could change away and get better TV.

Edit: Also that the guide cut out Matt Hardys gut.

Only 'suspended until proven innocent', and once he was ruled not guilty, John Gaburick immediately met him outside the courthouse and had him sign a multi-year contract.

They suspended him for 2 months. Those 2 months had no tapings at all so he basically never left.
