Del Rio was a great talent poorly handled by WWE, he's exactly what a secondary company should want. Even slightly book him better and people will be amazed about the turn around. Basically AJ Styles in TNA vs NJPW/ROH

Del Rio isn't half the talent of AJ. He's a good wrestler with some charisma and a good look but he's not someone to build your company around.

Yeah but Del Rio also appeals to a minority demographic that's underserved by the WWE which is exactly the group that smaller companies should be targeting so they can grow in the margins and not come off as WWE-lite. ROH is doing it to a degree by heavily featuring and actually developing black wrestlers; TNA should have become a hybrid lucha fed like 6 years ago if they wanted to carve out an area to grow their audience.

Eric Young resigned, making the current list of people who are definitely staying: Young, Edwards, Richards, Anderson, Rayne, EC3 (injured), Abyss, Godderz, Angle Roode and Jeff Hardy may still be on their deals which I think included this year. If so Jeff's on his last year on his contract.

Storm and Gunner signed multi-year deals in mid-2014, iirc.

Dixie was on Busted Open I guess let's see what she has to say darlinquote:On negotiations and choosing Destination America: The stuff about the tapings seem like a good way to have the live crowd not giving a poo poo about the segments they're watching. I assume the post-production comments mean heavy editing and crowd sweetening.

quote:TNA Impact Wrestling will reportedly have a heavy reality TV theme to the show when it premieres with Destination America this week. The idea is to have cameras filming everything from wrestlers walking around backstage, entering the building and even being out of character.

TNA Impact is going to be the dumbest thing in the history of Television, Wrestling, The Universe, and Existing.

And, I think, only maybe 3-4 women in their Knockouts Division if that. e: I love that the TNAMecca people are going to twist themselves into knots to like this, because they've done nothing but throw shade on Lucha Underground for having too many backstage segments.

TNA is saying Dixie Carter has a major announcement for the first show. Either the IMPACT 366 above or Del Rio I guess.

The idea that this company that has been the dictionary definiton of 'stagnated growth' AT BEST in the decade they've been around is going to grow this network that no one watches continues to amaze and amuse me.

I only watched TNA for a few months in 2012 and only occasionally even watch Raw at this point, but I admit this sounds so potentially awful I'm curious enough to open up a stream of this tonight.

I don't know how JR kept himself from going buckwild on Dixie when she said that most fans are more interested in backstage stuff and the personal lives of wrestlers than the in-ring product on his podcast, considering that's the exact kind of poo poo you know he'll whine about endlessly for weeks on end. Thauros, I wouldn't expect that product to be on tonight though - Dixie's said that probably won't start until next week or later after they've had some time to do post-production on the show, which they can't do tonight since it's live. It sounds like the more reality show-esque presentation will be the Impact replay on Saturdays (TNA Unlocked I think?), which Dixie described as the 'directors cut' of the regular Impact show with some extra poo poo added in post. flashy_mcflash fucked around with this message at 19:03 on Jan 7, 2015 |

JR is not a good interviewer and Dixie would do best not to ever talk to media again.
