the very concept of What Is Phillip Brooks Doing In The Impact Zone is making me laugh uncontrollably

Also I honestly wonder if Dixie is telling the truth when she says they're "contracted through the end of the year." Doesn't their contract run out at the end of the month, and they're just on as long as DA doesn't have anything else to air?

It just sounds like they're going to let them find a new deal but they're officially done.

Spike let them finish up the rest of the year while they shopped themselves around last year, I guess DA extended them a similar courtesy? TNA will limp on, bleeding money and talent for a month or two longer I guess. When are they filmed up to? BFG?

I don't remember if it was here or reddit where I read that somebody showed up to a TNA autograph signing that was sparsely attended and made Hebner write "I am worthless" a couple of times on the item that the fan brought.

Anyway that's my contribution to this conversation.

Chuck Palumbo also one of very few WWE castoffs to never go to TNA, I notice. First time he was fired he went to All-Japan, second time he just did indie dates.

My point is he doesn't have the stink on him.

I'm tempted to immediately say Jarrett because his dumb nonreal promotion that still has no TV deal now has a month of TV airing experience technically, and he never has to be associated with current TNA again so he gets out of there completely before it finally does sink

GFW already decisively lost the invasion angle. What do they possibly have to gain from here? Periscope streams of their minor league ballpark shows airing live on DA?

What company's ever won an angle where they invaded another company

Serious question. It didn't happen with CZW invading ROH, ECW or WCW invading WWE, ECW invading TNA twice. Has it ever happened

i don't know how much his shares are worth but the idea that TNA is going to give him a bump actually has no value so at best he secured a few paydays for his guys

Didn't EV2.0 beat Team TNA or whatever at Bound for Glory? Also EV2.0 is probably history's first and only babyface invading force.

By that point EV2 was mostly made up of TNA people who had never worked for ECW so it was an incomprehensible conflict

I mean, seriously, it's a company that doesn't make a profit, so the point behind owning a chunk of it (receiving a proportional amount of the profits) is completely negated.

If TNA was the one buying up his shares (and I don't know who else would) in exchange for also giving his wrestling company access to their dwindling amount of airtime then yeah, I would say that The Cho-Cho Chosen One cleaned the gently caress up here.

Is crazy to think about how I actually used to enjoy watching TNA on Fox Sports. That was a fun little wrestling show. It was an hour long and mostly stayed away from really dumb angles. It also had a lot of good wrestlers at that time.

The first episode I watched had Hardy come out (I think it was his debut there) to his dumb Modest music (which was probably still his best entrance music from his poo poo band to be fair)

I liked its time there more than anywhere else. It gave us the Raven/Sabu feud that had him randomly hanging Sabu to end an episode, and him occasionally killing Sonjay Dutt while screaming "WHEARE'S SABOO"
