It's springtime for Jarrett™! Things that happened in March: Let's just start with the obvious. Things became even pettier in Impact as the relationship with the Hardys died. Upper management claimed to control the entirety of the Broken™ gimmick, pursued lawsuits to prevent the team from using the gimmick on ROH and WWE, and successfully got ROH's PPV dropped from Dish the night of airing live over the matter. The bridge with the Hardys has almost certainly been burned at this point. BUT THAT'S OKAY BECAUSE Tapings happened! And new people showed up! Including: Bruce Pritchard Reno Scum Garza Jr Laredo Kid Kevin Matthews Fallah Bahh Mario Bokara Kongo Kong Alberto Del Rio Dutch Mantel Rachael Ellering And we had returns! Suicide, Karen Jarrett, Magnus, Matt Morgan, ODB, and LAX (Homicide, Konnan, and new people: Diamante and the indy team EYFBO)! We even have the return of live events promoter Rafael Morffi, which likely means Empty House Shows are coming back! Partnerships! Pro Wrestling NOAH, The Crash, and AAA all have working alliances with the company that desperately wants you to call it Impact now. Unfortunately they had (and likely still have) no idea AAA and The Crash hate each other. Oh well! Also they're bringing back World of Sport! And Magnus is going to be on the roster! And the biggest addition of all, of course, was rovert posted:We just need an owl: https://twitter.com/KevinSullyTV/status/837683671540846593 But of course, not all changes are positive. In addition to the Hardys, Jade and Drew Galloway fled the company. And yet another of the already weak teams broke up (DCC). How will this affect Bram's 47 contracts? More importantly, it means half of this image changed within a week:  In addition to the pettiness with the Hardys, pettiness with old management was blatant behind the scenes and even moreso on camera: PWInsider posted:As we discussed yesterday during the NXT & Beyond audio show in the Elite section of PWInsider.com, there will be some segments on tonight's Impact that knocks the previous regime. While there were a number of wrestlers backstage who felt it was a shot at the roster as much as previous members of management, Eli Drake became upset and confronted Jeff Jarrett about it and the two had a discussion. It was never described to me as getting ugly but Drake voiced some frustrations the existing roster was having with the changeover last week. There were talents who felt the shots at the previous regime were unfair because they didn't see them as a shot at management, but as everyone who had been working there. Since they had been perservering long before Anthem purchased the company, despite not knowing if and when it would fall apart and whether they would get the money they were owed - a number of talents felt there was nothing wrong with their work (and certainly, the product didn't suck) but the message the segments sent ruffled some feathers. So, Drake went right to Jarrett and voiced that. We are told he spoke with both Jarrett and Bruce Prichard. The pettiness re:Hardys escalated to the point this comedy occurred: https://twitter.com/willh94/status/844722618611744769 Luigi Thirty posted:OH MY GOD TNA IS THE STUPIDEST WORST COMPANY ON THE PLANET https://twitter.com/prowrestlingnet/status/838484100465983491 A whooooooole lot of dumb Russo poo poo happened at the tapings, including with the World title bouncing between Lashley, Del Rio, and Lashley again all in one taping. Current champions: World - Lashley Grand - Moose X Division - Trevor Lee Knockouts - Rosemary Tag team - LAX Benne posted:I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm kind of surprised. This was probably the company's last chance to get a legitimate fresh start, scrub away bad memories, and actually move forward as a real grown-up wrestling promotion. grack posted:TNA is really good at being terrible at everything. https://twitter.com/RebyHardy/status/840315276608565248

It was really something to see all of that occur in the span of, maybe, 10 full minutes live You really didn't get any time to be pissed off at one thing because three more would happen in essentially the next camera shot

If he ever comes back, I hope it's not as that poo poo Liberace character he keeps trying to make happen One company wouldn't even let it air, and the other did and watched it bomb out of existence immediately. Take the hint, friend
