It didn't fizzle out, it was dropped unceremoniously after Lawler had a heart attack on air. So someone had to almost die in order to finally kill that loving angle.

El Patron is exactly the kind of up-and-coming blue-chipper TNA needs to carry the brand into the future, although we'll have to see how many multi-year deals he signs in the next year

I still for the life of me don't understand why the match was slotted for half a loving hour though. I could be wrong but I think the story went it was only supposed to be 10 or 15 minutes, but were told half way through that they had to go a full half hour. Cole suspects it was a giant rib on him since he knew even 10 minutes was already too long.

-Apparently they've said "gently caress it" and decided to start doing the show live next week. -I refuse to actually wish harm on Josh Mathews, but if his vocal cords were to disappear, possibly through some kind of curse or other supernatural intervention, my Impact! experience would be improved immeasurably -same goes for Karen Jarrett re: her disappearance improving the show

No idea how far this change goes but most recent IMPACT contracts state if you get hurt the company isnt liable, even if it happens on their event. Do idea how far it drills down on the indies but even CZW pays your medical costs.

I do play by play for a small broadcasting group and we have to have workman's comp certificates so we can't hold the station liable if we trip on cables and break our leg or something. We're officially independent contractors of the station, not really employees. Wouldn't shock me if they were doing something similar

If this is true then what possible benefit is there to work for Impact? TV exposure? - Nobody is watching, and it's barely on a channel. Money? - If they get around to remembering to pay you. Convenience/Less strenuous travelling schedule? - Maybe. But only if you live in Florida.

TNA pays better than random indies and yes, it is more exposure even though it is often not effective exposure for a lot of guys. Plus you can work for a company that is giving WWE a run for its money to be the shittiest company.

I thought they slashed their pay rates for tapings and they're going to start touring again, so there go the "pays okay" and "convenient for FL workers" arguments for working TNA.

For years now TNA has been to the WWE essentially a Triple-A farm baseball team, where they can pick out whoever seems like they'd be good and a dumping ground for the rest. So everyone still in TNA either believes they have what it takes to eventually make it to WWE, or they've proven they don't have what it takes and are trying to pretend that TNA is where they've wanted to be all along.

Kongo Kong is literally the most disproportionate out of shape wrestler I've ever seen. Dude is fat as gently caress but his arms are that of a skinny man. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl6DyYqeH4Y

He needs to get even fatter while maintaining the arm size imho. He may be modern wrestler fat, but I grew up on Yokozuna, so I am unimpressed.

Shane Taylor is the same way. He looks like your standard larger dude from the waste up but his thighs and rear end are Yokozuna-esque. It was really weird to see in person.
