ECW would have eventually gone under at some point because their business model (if they even had one) was not sustainable.
While Heyman is mostly good at creative, he has ZERO business sense and couldn't run a neighborhood lemonade stand on his own.
And the idea of competing businesses trading contracts is fantasy booking on the highest level. Never gonna happen.
Which is why I said ECW would have not gone under TODAY. The treatment that TNA is getting had ECW got that TODAY they'd still be in business. But at the same time ECW wouldn't have worked today.
No doubt, it's never gonna happen. BUT it makes cents as well as BIG dollars!!!!
Mina Shirakawa says her team with Toni Storm came together naturally because they both lost Mariah May:“It was very natural because we lost the same person. Where is Mariah May? Mariah May was gone. So each other, we can understand what we are thinking, what we are feeling exactly. It’s very natural.Toni Storm was before a STARDOM member, so we have the same sense of wrestling, Japanese style, hard hitting. It's easy to understand what she wants to do in the ring. I can understand easily. And the same to Toni. Toni can understand what I want to do in the ring easily. So it's very, very natural.”
CM Punk says 'somebody very high' in WWE told him not to wear his Randy Savage inspired ring gear:"I wanted to pay homage to a classic pair of gear, twofold really. Pink looks great on me, and this is an homage to the gear he wore at WrestleMania 3 taking on Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat."I commissioned my gear maker to make this gear, and I won't name names, but somebody very high in the office walked past and saw it, found me and said 'do not wear that gear on television'. I said 'you got it', and I wore the gear on television, because that's what I do, I'm going to pay homage to Randy Savage, whether you like it or not."
When asked about a possible new media partner for ROH, Tony Khan says he has had great offers for ROH on TV, but wants to make sure there would be a rights fee that makes sense.
He thinks there is a scenario in the future where there is a partnership that is a right fit.
CM Punk on his iconic match with John Cena at Money In The Bank 2011:
"It's a match that everyone says is a classic now. It's a big moment in my career in front of my hometown friends and family.
"I talk about moments where I feel 'oh I made it'. My first WrestleMania. That was a moment where, I made it, and I mean that in two different ways. I made it, but also I made this moment, this whole thing. This is the city where I was born and raised, where I'd go and watch shows, this is a moment that was truly Chicago made.
"This past WrestleMania I had the honor to induct Bret Hart vs. 'Stone Cold' Steve Austin WrestleMania 13 in that same building into the Hall of Fame, and I can only imagine someday somebody is going to be inducting Money In The Bank 2011; CM Punk vs. John Cena into the Hall of Fame as a big match moment."
