Nice how they just dropped a link for a Michelle McCool Bikini pic into the middle of all that. Not sure if that was part of the update or just a clever bit of subliminal messaging.
"Soon" as in: maybe tomorrow, or the day after that for sure. Or maybe it'll be next week. Next month? You know what, get back to me later
I can't stand that shit. Show's how low class this site is
Just out of curiosity, what does TNA consider to be "shortly"? They've been saying that for that past couple of months now.
There are only a couple of people that TNA could sign that would create legitimate buzz for the company. CM Punk, Steve Austin, or Jim Ross.
I thought that last years BFG ppv was the worst lineup the company had ever produced for its biggest show. This years lineup makes that ones look like Wrestlemania. If this is the trend that TNA is going to be taking with its biggest show of the year, then it's time to change the name to Bound For Disappointment.
Her matches with Gail Kim will always be some of the best in TNA history
Great interview. I'd definitely be interested in watching the whole thing some time. Say what you want about him, but Bischoff had a great mind for the business.
I agree with you. The skits and sideshows detract from the actual in ring product. TNA, a company that once ran an ad campaign stating that "wrestling matters", hardly ever has ACTUAL matches. Most last from 2-5 minutes, followed by 10 -20 minute skits where someone blabs their mouths. Fans are tired of it. Wrestling needs to get back to the days of letting the wrestlers tell the story in the ring. I don't need to see a 30 second skit of someone walking to the ring. That's a waste of time. And get rid of the whole heel "authority" schtick. It's old hat. Used to be the top heel in the company didn't need an authority figure to win matches. They did it with underhanded tricks and manager distractions. Now we've got guys who are "protected" by the boss(I'm looking at you WWE and Dixie Carter). What happened to the days of Ric Flair having a roll of quarters or brass knucks hidden in his trunks and using them to win a match? Fans want to hate guys because they cheat to win, not because they get special treatment. TNA should mix a bit of the old 1980's booking style(minus the campy acts and terrible characters) with a bit of the 90's extreme style. And for christs sake, ditch the screw job finishes!!!
Perhaps that's what it's going to take. A deal like this will show the Carter family's TRUE intentions with TNA. If they are unwilling to put any more money into the company, then they should just cash out and sell now. We as fans have been saying for years now that TNA needs to get off of Spike, and now, like it or not, they appear to almost have to. Now it's up to the Carter's and what they want to do with the company. If they go to VELOCITY, put more money in to the product themselves, and strike on a solid formula, then they can grow their audience now. And even though VELOCITY "only" appears in 48 million homes, TNA averages about 1million a week. They may lose some viewers, true, but they may grow as well. Work a one year deal, see if they can grow the company, and then perhaps there'll be more deals available in the future.
