Either Jarret's mom or grandma use to come snap peas with Cornette's mama.

Pope Corky the IX posted:I find Cornette being such good friends with Jeff Jarrett to be really loving weird. Corny is a fairly liberal dude, while JJ has been unabashedly conservative and pro-Trump (MIGA) for a few years at least. And then there's Jarrett's Russo fetish... It's not that hard to have friendships with people you may disagree with politically. As was said before though, Cornette seems to want to help JJ out mostly because of the family connection. Cornette goes quite a ways back with Jarrett's dad.

I like how they cover their asses by just saying "he made the jump" instead of saying he jumped to Impact. Could just mean he jumped to NXT, if they had to argue it.

Probably more likely they're not using any of their brand names cause they still don't know if they own them yet.

I particularly love the thread of replies which starts with "Bobby Roode, just back from seeing the movie It..." Has any promotion done this scale of time shifting? Like obviously you've had block tapings and I know Lucha Underground's last tapings were pretty far back but... drat.

Savoldi's ICW would show really old stuff in regular rotation, years old. I'm surprised this is getting so much attention now it has been known they were doing this for months.

a.lo posted:do they think people wouldn't notice To be honest, if you're the type of person who wouldn't care about paying to watch footage taped 3 years ago for a defunct company that TNA promoted for no reason, profit, or trademark rights to for half a year, you probably don't/won't care that there's misleading commentary included involving old and long-gone talent

Not gonna lie, Cornette is pretty much my favorite person in wrestling He can't book for poo poo, but he at least has an over-arching philosophy of what wrestling should be, and I respect that

MassRafTer posted:You love Cornette but think he can't book for poo poo? I don't understand why someone would love Cornette but think SMW, OVW and 97 WWF were poorly booked. Because I think he hasn't adapted to the realities of the industry over the last two decades. Hell, everything you just said was good is at least 20 years old, which is the point. I don't think he has become very good at creating good stories but he is very good at telling you why your booking is bad. As I said, he has a philosophy and he sticks to it, sometimes to his detriment.

RZApublican posted:That could have been the point though, this could be the wrestling equivalent of an ashcan copy. It's a program that got shopped around to TV stations 3 years ago that nobody bit on, and now at least 5 suckers somewhere in the country will have to pay to see it. And even if only one of them does, that's still money that wasn't coming from this 3 years ago

This is utterly astonishing - it was pretty sad when they put together footage so the viewer might be forgiven for thinking NXT's Bobby Roode was going to GFW, but to straight up say,"Here he is, Bobby Roode from NXT, he's made the jump!" is mind-boggling desperate.Maxwell Lord posted:Has any promotion done this scale of time shifting? Like obviously you've had block tapings and I know Lucha Underground's last tapings were pretty far back but... drat. In the wake of Heenan's death, I'm fairly certain Il read/heard about after he worked out his contract with AWA before moving to WWF, they held back the footage of him and other wrestlers who had made the move and then would pepper it through their televised shows to try and pretend that the guys you were seeing weekly in WWF were actually still with the AWA.

Tbf we were expecting reuse and misleading ads. Redubbing the announcers on the actual show to lie even more was a wrinkle that we should have seen coming but didn't.

Do we know the buyrate for TNAs PPVs over the last year? It can't possibly be more than 100 people right?

Bigass Moth posted:Do we know the buyrate for TNAs PPVs over the last year? It can't possibly be more than 100 people right? They were doing in the 7000 range in 2013 before their ratings really started to collapse (and Spike cancelled them). If you asked me to pull a number out of my rear end, I'd guess somewhere in the 1000 range for the live story-relevant PPVs nowadays.

Well, to be fair he's been off TV for weeks leading into a program with Dolph Ziggler so even time travelling to GFW might seem like a better option at the moment.
