Eh. It's stupid to have floor seating behind the production equipment but let's be honest - nobody is going to be sitting there.

Sky Shadowing posted:I honestly wonder if, when they can't fill the bleachers, they'll move people from the more expensive seats to the bleachers so it looks better, thus screwing people out of 'better' seats. They'll figure it out. You may be surprised to hear this but TNA has a lot of practice at dealing with basically no fans showing up to events.

Grem posted:I have no idea how he got on TNA. I thought that was a middle-big deal. He's had 1 wrestling match that he lost. His gimmick is lifted straight from the Hardy Boyz and a loving comic book. It's going to be bad. Really, really bad. This actually makes him pretty much perfect for TNA.

Fat Lowtax posted:Wasn't D'Amore supposed to be competent? I hate forgetting my TNA history 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.

So according to Meltzer, the story with Jarrett was: 1. He was booked for two shows, one in Calgary and then one in Edmonton the next night with a promotion called Real Canadian Wrestling 2. He showed up drunk, still worked his match and passed out backstage 3. He told RCW that he had been held up in Canadian Customs for three hours, and told he had to leave right after his match in Calgary 4. RCW called Customs after Jarrett left and they had nothing to do with him leaving; Jarrett just re-booked his flight because he didn't want to work in Edmonton and just lied about it.

Randaconda posted:To be somewhat fair to JJ, he wasn't under contract anymore, so Vince could have just hosed him over. Not saying he would, but Vinny Mac ain't the most trustworthy fellow. Vince was too dumb to take the IC title off of Jarrett before his contract expired. JJ had leverage, not the other way around. Besides, if Vince hadn't blacklisted him we would never have gotten TNA.
