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.

This is the second time that /wooo/ has punked out TNA, the first time being when they were advertising "Who is suicide?" and were showing teasers for the character with links to MySpace pages and other misc poo poo they hadn't bothered to make yet. /wooo/ registered them AFTER they were shown on TV.

Vince Russo has denied working for TNA, despite reports to the contrary. Who is telling the truth?

Mike Johnson of PWInsider posted:

As previously noted here on the site, Vince Russo has publicly declined to comment on PWInsider.com's story that he is still working for TNA as a creative consultant.

Therefore, it was very interesting today that I received an email from Russo, who accidentally cc'd me in, featuring instructions and advice from him to Mike Tenay and Taz on how certain segments of a TNA TV episode about to be voiced over should be handled.

That should put to rest, once and for all, any question that Russo is still involved and working for TNA.

I completely buy Russo doing a dumb thing.

I've changed my mind, and now hope this company lives forever. Nobody should ever forget this history of incompetence, and the best way for that to happen is the incompetence to continue eternally.

Something like "I had a confidential agreement with TNA to consult Mike Tenay and Taz on commentary. I have avoided questions due to this agreement. That was accidentally forwarded to Mike Johnson. I hope my integrity is shown."

I'd love it if they decided to "Fire Russo" and then have him secretly write it so they can call people out when the haters are saying the show is much better now that Russo was gone.

Then they'd redo the whole "SHIIIIITTTT IT'S VINCE RUSSO"

TNA World Champion Lashley Signs With Bellator; Set to Fight on September 5th at Bellator 123

We are excited to announce that TNA World Heavyweight Champion LASHLEY has signed a deal with Bellator MMA and is set to make his debut on September 5th at Bellator 123. Lashley (10-2) will face Josh Burns (8-7) in a heavyweight clash.

The Bellator 123 card will be headlined by a Featherweight Title fight between Pat Curran and Patricio Pitbull. TNA and Bellator superstar King Mo will also compete on the card, making this a can’t miss event for any TNA or MMA fan!

Bellator 123 takes place at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Connecticut on September 5th and will be broadcast LIVE and FREE on Spike TV!

Don't get this at all. Not like he is that skilled/interesting as a fighter or has the type of compelling personality that could draw MMA fans to watch Wrestling.

Although Kenny King and MVP cornering would be great.

On the other hand, its not surprising in the least.

To be fair, TNA doesn't have enough tapings done to get to September 5th.

...Right?

Chris James 2
Aug 9, 2012


ed: ^^ They're up to something like mid-September already, with a final set finishing out September to be made next month

So to recap

One more set of tapings in August, everything else already set and done to air throughout July/August/September
If they don't take the belt off Lashley in that last set, there's a non-zero chance their champ gets destroyed in another company on Spike TV
No live chance to mention it, if it happens, until October
October's assuming they still have a TV home because Spike's deal ends around that time
Plus Angle's probably done with the company at that time too, which fucks up at least one other storyline they started in New York

The NYC tapings were probably the best the company's had in years, yet everything behind-the-scenes that happened throughout needs its own section on the loltna page
