THE WRESTLING THREAD: HHH KEEPS DOING HHH THINGS.....

WWE should buy TNA and keep it as a WWE Network exclusive show. TNA has a following and Impact Wrestling fans who aren't signed up for WWE Network yet just might, to catch TNA.

Nah, The E has NXT for that and the NXT brand has been a consistently strong brand for the company over the last couple of years. It wouldn't make sense to cut into their bottom line by keeping TNA around. Best bet is to buy it just for the library, cherry pick talent, and let the rest of the talent go so they can go over to New Japan or ROH. Hopefully ROH can start making some major moves and land a solid TV deal. The last thing WWE needs is to be the only promotion in the country with a TV deal. They need a good competitive kick in the ass.

Having separate wrestling leagues owned by one company wouldn't cut into any bottom line if they are all owned by one company.

Would make the attempt to create a rivalry between the brands even better. Raw vs Smackdown. NXT vs TNA.

Meh it ain't my money.
 
Dixie Carter Holding Up TNA Sale

Time is almost up.

Things are looking increasingly scary for TNA right now. We don't even know yet if Bound for Glory will air on Sunday, or if there will be any Impact tapings next week. Basically, this could finally be the end.

Multiple parties have tried to buy the company, from Billy Corgan to Aroluxe to WWE (for the tape library), but something, or someone, has been holding it all up. That someone appears to be Dixie Carter.


Dave Meltzer has reported that Dixie still owns 70% of the company and says there are "games being played" and that "she has really made a mess and is responsible for it."

Since she's still in control, she gets to decide who will own TNA, and she's running out of time to make that decision. Roughly $600,000 are needed for the upcoming shows, and there are no funds in place yet to make that happen.

Meltzer also topped this off in regards to Dixie "I've never met someone so clueless."

Well, hopefully she gets a clue quick, and does right by the potential buyers, their current business partners around the world and the wrestlers themselves, and finally makes a decision.

If she doesn't decide by Friday, that means there's no Bound for Glory this weekend, which means no TV tapings, which means there is likely no more TNA.

Bryan Alvarez - The Death Of WCW (Audiobook) (2016)

  1. What went wrong with WCW?

    In 1997, World Championship Wrestling was on top. It was the number-one pro wrestling company in the world, and the highest-rated show on cable television. Each week, fans tuned in to Monday Nitro, flocked to sold-out arenas, and carried home truckloads of WCW merchandise. Sting, Bill Goldberg, and the New World Order were household names. Superstars like Dennis Rodman and KISS jumped on the WCW bandwagon. It seemed the company could do no wrong.

    But by 2001, however, everything had bottomed out. The company - having lost a whopping 95% of its audience - was sold for next to nothing to Vince McMahon and World Wrestling Entertainment. WCW was laid to rest.

    How could the company lose its audience so quickly? Who was responsible for shows so horrible that fans fled in horror? What the hell happened to cause the death of one of the largest wrestling companies in the world? The Death of World Championship Wrestling is the first book to take listeners through a detailed dissection of WCW's downfall.

Jamie Noble — Stabbed TWICE In West Virginia Trailer Park, Currently In Hospital

JamieNoble.jpg


POSTED BY: RYAN SATIN SEPTEMBER 30, 2016

Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned Jamie Noble has been hospitalized after he was stabbed two times early Wednesday morning inside of a trailer park.

The Mercer County Sheriff’s Office tells us Jamie allegedly returned home early in the morning from a WWE event after a long drive, and then left to get a snack while his girlfriend took a bath.

We’re told upon returning to Shadowood mobile home park, a driver pulled in behind his car and got out to accuse Jamie of cutting him off on the road. Jamie allegedly apologized, but the two men continued to argue and Noble eventually took the man to the ground when things got physical.

Police officials say 2 other men got out of the suspect’s car at that point, and at least one stabbed Jamie — once in the upper back and once in the mid-back/spine area — before taking off.

EMS were called and Jamie Noble was eventually treated, then taken to the emergency room.

We’re told WWE is aware of the situation and they’ve already made contact with police.

Noble was last seen on TV in March to break up a fight between Roman Reigns and Triple H. He also had a lengthy stint as J&J Security with Joey Mercury.

Our sources say he’s currently in the hospital, but no longer in the ER. His current condition is unclear.

:lol: That was my first thought too. But then I really thought back to his original character. He wasn't just playing the backwoods redneck type. That was really him. West Virginia CAC country boy through and through.
I guess even with that WWE money, rednecks going redneck. Technically speaking, this post could go in the CACs CACing thread.:lol:

TNA Bound For Glory Taking Place As Planned On Sunday

BFG, Impact tapings, then what?


bbb982156b1b4ed0-600x400.jpg

TNA
All of the recent speculation over the future of TNA Wrestling was scheduled to come to a head this weekend, and while there are still more questions than answers, one thing is for certain: the Bound For Glory Pay-Per-View on Sunday is still on.

TNA majority owner Dixie Carter sent out a tweet Friday evening addressing the speculation that the company's days were numbered, but telling fans in the Orlando area that they "do not want to miss" the Pay-Per-View and subsequent TV tapings, which are scheduled to be held through next Saturday. Those tapings are expected to cover Impact as it airs through December.

Still, where TNA goes from here is anywhere but certain. Friday had been referred to earlier in the week as a "point of no return" for the company, where TNA would either be boasting a new owner (most likely company president Billy Corgan) or ceasing all future operations. WWE was also rumored to be interested in purchasing the company, although that would be to own the tape library and not to run it as an independent promotion.

Still, no deal was made - instead, numerous sources are reporting that a unnamed third party (not Corgan) was responsible for a last-minute cash influx that has allowed the events to take place. Given that the same problems will prevent themselves for the next set of tapings, this is being seen more as a stay of execution than a solution to the company's woes.

Jay was on Flair's podcast a couple months ago. He did his Flair impression & Macho Man. Jay told a cool story about Flair giving Jay's brother money to reimburse him incast his clothes were torn during the angle where they attacked him.

 
I can't wait for behind the scenes true story of TNA documentary that will inevitably come out. The story behind the story will be utterly fascinating.
