tna doesn't actually have wrestlers, they just buy a stock photo and then run a megaman weapon name generator.

Rockstar Spud is gone because of, and you might want to sit down for this one, TNA's staggering incompetence

https://www.si.com/wrestling/2017/11/01/wwe-wrestling-news-emma-release-rockstar-spud


quote:

Spud is 34-year-old James Curtin, and Impact’s failure to properly submit his visa paperwork eventually led to an inability to re-enter the United States. Spud had bookings lined up, but despite building a name and a brand, he could not enter the U.S. Since he could not work the Impact shows, Impact did not pay him.

Spud is engaged to an American woman so that probably lead to strife and separation. Spud's fiance is Renee Michelle from the Mae Young Classic.

I don't know enough about the current New Japan and NOAH situation to say, honestly. Will say even if they did not exactly like each other at the moment, it wouldn't even be the second current partnership TNA has that conflicts with a rival promotion TNA's also partnered with.

Less entertaining overall than both (but has standout moments), better in-ring than Enzo

Rockstar Spud is an excellent lackey, either as the sniveling snot who is the sacrificial lamb to keep a babyface from getting to a heel, or as the lackey tired of his boss's poo poo.

It's sad because they've done so much more damage to the wrestling industry than good, but I initially was excited at the idea of the NWA having the platform of a national audience (on paper, anyways).

I wish it could have been different, as many jokes as I've made.

I wonder if TNA took care of any travel and lodging when they do tapings. Not comping the refs seems super sketch since they're generally on the low end of the payscale.

The ref thanking TNA for the exposure made me think of how sketchy companies in other industries ask people to work with them for free (or close to) and say "It'll be great exposure!" as though that makes up for it.
