Any word on what the hell was up with Bram during the premiere? He seemed Jeff Hardy level hosed up on them goofballs.

Probably just nervous, being on POP is a big opportunity for a young wrestler

What was the reason Hardy vacated the belt again?

Because EC3 threatened to sue to get the belt back and Matt didn't want the belt tied up in a legal battle so he vacated it. Something to that effect.

Mark is so much better than TNA let him, as anyone who has seen him wrestle will tell you.

Can't blame him for being willing to pick up a cheque to job to tigre uno every now and again, especially now they fly him over every time to do so.

Its not really damaging his reputation as no one watches the thing

Hardy beat EC3 in a triple threat match at Bound For Glory, in which EC3 attempted to intentionally get himself disqualified. In a No-DQ match.

EC3 then sued TNA and Dixie Carter for the title, because he was put into a match in which the special referee was one of the participant's brother.

Matt vacated the title so it wouldn't be held up in court forever, at which point TNA kicked off a tournament that lasted forever and ended in a singles match between Hardy and EC3.

I mean you can say Christian and Booker T. I guess you can argue Jeff Hardy but he only went to TNA after WWE acknowledged his arrest on TV.

Either way: WWE is much more into dicking around with ROH at this point, and Dixie trying to pretend TNA is a concern to them right now is cute.

She might be talking about James Storm. Obviously she's an idiot, but they did have to reportedly pay 2.5x what NXT offered to get him back.

Christy Hemme also gave in her notice several months back but is still working at TNA so I guess she must've nabbed a lucrative contract to stay as well.

So does TNA still have that awful problem where you can't make out entrance music at all? I remember years ago when I watched a few episodes, everyone's entrance music was completely indecipherable, a din of noise that sounded like Phil Spector produced all their music. (Notable exceptions being Jeff Jarrett and Christian.)

Phil Spector does excellent sound production. He's deficient in the area of shooting women mind. Or over performing I suppose.

if anything, TNA seems like a great place for these young flippy indie dudes to come in, make a quick buck, then hopefully get the gently caress out before getting roofied by Dixie and mistakenly signing a long term contract.
