It sounds to me like Bishoff was the victim and Konnan was trying to walk all over him. Its been my understanding that your boss is your boss and whatever they say goes. Questioning your boss is counter productive to the chain of command.

One reason she will never go back to the name Alexis Laree is because she did nude photo shoots under that name. When going to the WWE they wanted to separate her image from her porn stage name.

Rent-a-center is a good product for business temporary relocations. Its not a very good idea for an everyday person to use.

And I don't understand why people are knocking Hogan for the Rent-a-center commercials. There is an NFL Hall of Fame quarterback in those commercials as well. Why does Troy Aikman, who made 100 million with his career and endorsements get a pass everytime these commercials are discussed?

I just have to laugh how 100 people ran in sheer terror from 1 unarmed man. Scott Steiner should get credit for being a scary mother F'er

TNA will let Flair appear. As for using Flair's image to sell tickets, it is not illegal nor is there any legal issue. The WWE owns the rights to the footage shown on TV.

TNA has everything to gain by letting Flair show up at the HoF induction and nothing to lose.

I actually believe the 4 horseman nomination was to get 2 things done. Get Arn Anderson a Hall of Fame ring and to get Ric Flair back on WWE TV. The WWEs ratings have taken a dump. TNA is not getting any better. It benefits Vince McMahon to do an event that does not involve the 2 orginizations working together but to get people watching wrestling as a whole.

Wrestling will not be here in 15 years with this decline. I think there has to be a campaign by all wrestling companies to try to save the fictional sport. If they have to work together to do this then so be it.

Next we will be seeing Sting and Hogan (NWO) getting a ring. Whether you think so or not. Just by Flair being up on that podium, gets TNA exposure whether or not he mentions TNA.

Its a percentage. If there are more viewers watching TV on that day then there are more viewers to be gotten. Now there are still the same amount of shows on as well. So the shares to be had are the same.

Its not that hard to figure out.

The reason why people pull out in the last half an hour is because the random tag match main event. The WWE pulls that stunt every RAW. That is why the main events on RAW are the lowest rated segment. It seems TNA is falling into that same formula. Start the show off with talking. Only to have 4 guys yell and scream and the GM make it a Tag match.

Deviate from this tired formula and it will keep the fans interested.

I was there. As usual, TNA has the best fan experience in wrestling. Got Angle to sign a program and a classic Sting figure I had gotten in the brown bag special. Good times. Bully Ray worked the crowd. I got Earl Hebner to sign the program as well as Velvit skye.

Earl Hebner came out to "You Screwed Bret" chants. He acted like the heel as usual. He mocked Bret Harts arm wave and then pulled off his ref shirt revealing his usual "Damn Right I did" shirt underneath.

Classic. Bully Ray stole the show when he said to a little girl. "You are 8 years old? That doesn't mean I won't punch you in your face". Classic TNA. Good times.

And for the record. TNA uses a small ring for this show because of the overhead. But the matches were pretty good. Overall, the show was a huge thumbs up. Entertaining from start to finish.

Well I went to the House show. It was half capacity. 1200 seat arena. Great show.

And I have been to all 6 Westbury house shows. Attendence drops every year. TNA is not popular here in NY. Never was. Its funny that people in England think TNA is popular in NY when it absolutely isn't. I live in New York and I still can not mention that I watch wrestling outside of my little circle of wrestling fans. "I can't believe you watch wrestling. Its so dumb. You do know its fake, right?" <-- most common response from somebody who just found out you watch wrestling.

Wrestling is not as popular up north as you think. Southern USA is wrestling country. Thats the truth. WWE is popular in NY because parents my age think its a kids show. <--True Story

*And for the record. There has never been an attendence record set for either company here in New York. TNA never broke any of their attendence records here. i do believe Tennesee still holds that honor for the US.
