I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Over the weekend I went to a party and someone asked about TNA because we were watching wrestling, and I had so much fun trying to explain the previous owners of TNA. From Billy Corgan trying to buy it and failing, to Neo Nazi's, to Jeff Jarrett again, back to Neo Nazi's. It was so fun :allears:

Luckily they hosed up and ordered new belts with the old logos first so they can use those!

That sounds too beneficial to TNA, surely they destroyed/lost those belts or sold the rights to them to Jeff Jarrett or something.

I don't have a picture but apparently they're using the GFW belts with either a sticker or a metal plate that says IMPACT over the GFW. It looks as good as you'd expect.

Going out on a major limb here I know but expect more releases very soon.

This era of the company is being referred to as "Total Nonstop D’Amore" by those involved with the company.

Do you expect them to bring in people to replace said releases, or is it just a pure roster reduction?

Or is it people who were fine working for them to hang out in Florida but aren't as keen on a vacation to Canada?

Scott D'Amore's booking is basically "let's figure out what the best PPV would be and book backwards". This is not the worst strategy. The problem in TNA is that the booking up until the PPVs was awful, whether Vince Russo was involved or not.

I could see EC3 and possibly James Storm in NXT this time next year. Lashley seems like he's halfway out the door too.

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

Has Spud ever had a good match? I always thought he was a good talker and would probably be a fine manager but I don't know if WWE needs Enzo Except British because you just know they'd make him wrestle.

I would love Lashley ripping up the main roster and he's legitimately the only thing I've enjoyed unironically in the last couple years. Presumably he'd have to give up Bellator though, no? I doubt WWE would let him do both.
