Chances are Anthem are just trying to quietly pillage TNA and don't particularly care about it succeeding. They're still dumb cuz they need poo poo worth buying.

That's only a baller move if the other party needs you more than you need them: AKA the opposite of Anthem's situation with the Hardys.

They've been on NXT/205 Live very recently, gonna guess no.

The best part of all this is that Jarrett came back just in time to be hoist by his own petard. Having pissed off Jeff Hardy, now Jarrett's got a titleholder with an expired contract that will be extorting him for the belt.

I think Anthem is considering this from the perspective that everything in its current state should be labeled toxic assets and the goal is to slash expenses to the bone before they relocate to Canada and reboot the whole thing.

Until TNA try to copyright the whole Broken gimmick to prevent the Hardys from using it anywhere else I don't think anyone else has an argument for a company being worse than AAA right now.

I would love to see TNA creative's take on the whole broken stuff.

It really only worked because of the hardy's hillbilly insanity/goofiness/glee at being able to play in their backyard. You take that away from it and you will get a TNA angle. Which, as has been proven time and again, nobody wants.

Heard they were looking to cut pay 30% on top of the per taping thing.

So let's say you work for $100 per episode. So if you worked two episodes in a day under the Dixie regime you'd get $200 for that day.

Now you'd just $70 for that day. And realistically you are working the second episode free. AND the odd Xplosion match.

Just wow.

they probably still could have kept their two most popular guys amicably but their badass mothafucka employees were too lamebrained to act like decent human beings.

I wonder what the sales of the brown bag special have been.

It's been a while since I've made a dumb comics/wrestling comparison post, so here it goes:

Back in the 80's, the Justice League sucked so much that big names like Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Green Lantern left. Then shortly after, B-listers like Aquaman, Zatanna and Elongated Man peaced out. The whole team was a sad shadow of its former self.

So that's what TNA makes me think of now. Martian Manhunter and four lame no-names sulking in a Detroit warehouse.
