Ok, adding (and gently caress that owl!) to the thread title was good. Also adding my own "gently caress TNA" to the pile. What a joke of a promotion.

Bill Goldberg posted:how much time does rovert have for Russo to be officially announced before he eats that probation iirc Jerusalem took one look at the taping spoilers and accepted he's there already so it's off. Wasn't that hard a call to make If the new guard has as much sense as the old guard, don't expect an announcement until someone in back inevitably fucks it up, makes it public, and ruins everything. Even Russo is currently on the record refusing to go further than saying he and Jarrett have exchanged emails, which establishes regular contact

Rovert, I may or may not have said something in this thread or the last thread about you talking nonsense about the possibility of Russo being back. If I didn't, then I probably at least thought you were. With how that show went, and with this thread being the most popular a TNA thread has been in months, I apologise for saying and/or thinking that because ideas this bad have to be Russo.

I have officially found one person online who thinks TNA can actually own the gimmick. It is he, The Stupidest Person. Like maybe, MAYBE they own the name. POSSIBLY. TNA can't possibly own "talks in a certain accent, rambles incoherently, talks about Seven Deities." Good loving luck, idiots.

If Steve Austin went to TNA tomorrow, he would have to be "Steve Austin". No mention of "Stone Cold", no mention of "3:16", no "gimme a hell yeah", no "what?", no "and that's the bottom line because stone cold said so", etc. All that stuff was created while he worked in WWE and it remains WWE's intellectual property Remember when Booker T jumped to TNA and wanted to continue the "King Booker" gimmick with Sharmell without actually calling himself that? He changed his accent from that of a royal aristocrat to that of an African King. He sounded retarded, but he did it because he knew WWE would sue him otherwise

More than ever, now would be the time for TNA to decide to pursue young indie talent that isn't interested in / can't get signed to NXT. They already do blocks of tapings where going in for three or four days can get you weeks of TV time, and it's not like Orlando is the middle of nowhere. Sign them to 3-month and/or per-appearance deals, if someone catches fire talk long-term. Instead they bring in Russo and Jarrett with their FRESH AND INNOVATIVE IDEAS, slash the pay rates for wrestlers, bring out a bunch of old guys to poo poo all over the last few years of the product and name drop all the people who left and are now big stars in NXT/WWE, and throw the title to Alberto Del Rio with a clusterfuck finish. And gently caress THAT OWL.

You can't copywrite an accent, nor mannerisms etc. But you can copywrite a name and a catchphrase. So perhaps TNA owns "Broken Matt Hardy", and "Saarsgaad", and "Vanguard 1", (misspelling intentional) etc. But Matt can do exactly the same shtick just calling himself "Cracked Matt Hardy" and align himself with "Sibling Nero" etc. TNA could maybe have a case if they really wanted to try, but considering the Taz vs Tazz situation, and thet Jeff is Matts brother, and his name is Nero, I doubt they could win even if Matt starts calling him "my Brother Nero" BrigadierSensible fucked around with this message at 07:32 on Mar 11, 2017 |

Reminder that when TNA had no loving money to do tapings, Matt literally let them do a show in his house. I know it's a different regime but goddamn you would think doing the promotion that kind of a favor buys the teensiest bit of. I dunno, basic respect.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm kind of surprised. This was probably the company's last chance to get a legitimate fresh start, scrub away bad memories, and actually move forward as a real grown-up wrestling promotion. Instead they bring back all the old hacks who tanked the company the last time, rehash the same tired "we're not WWE" talking points that just remind people how low-rent they really are, do a loving announcer feud that buries the actual in-ring wrestling, and put the belt on a WWE washout in literally his first night. Jesus take the wheel. Who the hell will watch after this? Especially now that the Hardys are gone? Not since late-era WCW have I seen a more disastrous attempt at a "reset."
