Wait, no, let's not even loving pretend at this point. Their roster page is somehow even more hilarious than it was last time, it's over-inflated to hell and back and I'm pretty sure they are just putting anyone that's worked a taping in the last six months on there.

I'm not totally up to date on Impact because I have more important things to do, like filling my hands with poo poo and applauding, but I think Sonjay Dutt lost the X- Division forever ago.

Funny you mention Lashley and James Storm still being in TNA

https://soundcloud.com/wrestlezoneradio/gfw-media-call-feat-the-cowboy-james-storm

Doesn't sound like it'll be for much longer. That's the Storm thing, and it obviously sounds like he wants to be back in NXT. Meanwhile in an interview with Sam Roberts, Lashley said he'd like a match with Brock in WWE at some point if Brock sticks around or is available if/when Lashley comes back

I wonder if WWE will even give Storm another chance.

Would you be my new best friends?

I still can't believe Storm got into NXT, was well-received by the crowd and then promptly returned to TNA. I mean I'm pretty sure I remember that Dixie Carter offered him a good money deal but surely he must have known it was a short term prospect at best?

I'm pretty sure the deal was something crazy like $250k per year. I imagine that's not far from how much he'd have made if he ended up on the main roster, if not more (and more than 2 and a half times what he'd have made in NXT), and he had to work a lot less.

Apparently it was 200-250K guaranteed by Panda, not TNA, so he was getting paid no matter what happened to the company. I think his wife wanted to have a kid, so he went with the easy schedule and guaranteed pay instead of 100+ days a year for NXT.

It makes perfect sense, TNA is just an alternate timeline where the WWE imploded and wrestlers had to do whatever they could to get by.

Hell, their timeline is so crazy probably all sorts of weird stuff like Trump getting elected president happen there.
