#lolTNA, cluster bookings and PPA deals prove you're not as big time as you like to pretend.

What the gently caress was TNA's justification for that load of stupidity, Because that might be the most Russo booked angle humanly possible, more-so than Arquette winning a title, more than the Lockboxes, and more than getting TNA kicked off of TV by secretly writing TNA's shows.

The angle was she was the one to actually take the case of the pole. It was a really ridiculous angle with him going nuts before and after she opened the case.

Wasn't Magus like the most vocal, abrasive TNA shill in interviews as of last year or so? What happened? Is it just a result of him getting depushed and realizing he can't necessarily count on being a big fish in a small pond that's had thousands of gallons of coal ash spilled into it?

Interesting thoughts from Kurt Angle about Foxcatcher. I had no clue that he wrestled for DuPont. Makes me really want to see the movie now, even more than I did.

I imagine losing the title (and maybe taking a pay cut) for the sake of blatantly copying a successful storyline from the WWE, then getting depushed in favor of a former WWE wrestler probably hurt a lot. But yeah, before that he pretty much had nothing but praise when it came to talking about TNA.

Playboy, in their August 1996 issue, did a story on DuPont that had a few Kurt Angle quotes in it.

I guess with TNA doing less PPV (or none), they are more lax on talent appearing on iPPV.

That's good of TNA to let their talent work enough to actually earn a living wage.

E: I am wrong. It's "2 Fast 2 Furious", followed by "Death Race 3: Inferno" on Thursday. Friday is a shitload of COPS all evening.

Do you know if they're getting the same soundstage as they did in their most recent stint there? It would be hilarious if they keep on getting pushed into increasingly dinky venues.

Nah, they had 19 last time, which is where they used to tape Double Dare. 21 is about the same size as the former Impact Zone.
