Watching Final Battle right now - it's been a good show. I'm going to miss Ring of Honor. Even with the dwindling crowds the last couple of years, it's still been one of my favorite wrestling shows...
For a network that bought an MMA company, I think that talent exclusivity might be a concern to them. Or at least on their radar.
Less jobs = better for everyone? Weird logic.
AJ Styles can make more on the indies. I'd bet that 90% of the roster could not, and certainly not for an extended period of time.
It's just...
They didn't have a partnership - TNA used to allow their talent to take indie bookings until there was a big storm that threatened people's ability to travel back and forth to shows on a PPV weekend....
Zeck's awesome. I loved the Punisher mini-series he drew. That sounds like a cool show.
Better off for whom? The only people who would seem to benefit from TNA going out of business are...
I still haven't warmed up to Ciampa. Dunno why.
Silas Young is a lot better than I thought he'd be, but I still can't get over the fact that he looks like Wade Boggs.

Cedric...
That's inspirational!
I thought it was weird to see WWE fly RVD all the way to Texas just for a ring intro. And when they announced RVD as Rollins' opponent (aside from hoping for a good...
You asked why they were so bad creatively. PPV business and all that doesn't factor in to that. Switching to Monday nights doesn't have anything to do with creative. I'm not saying you shouldn't...
Ha!
I just remember him having "ECW" on the back of his mask, and thinking that the crowd was booing him for pandering. But it didn't feel like they hated him, just like they were giving him a...
Didn't he get booed at one of those ECW One Night Only PPVs, too?
I hope that Rey understood that all of that wasn't really about him, but the situation.
I definitely don't mind them cribbing ROH's stuff.
Did the TMNT show have more than Eastman & Laird art, or was it focused on them? No complaints either way - it would be awesome to see that old...
I'd love to see the return of the Batista who doesn't think he needs to actually say anything anymore. Just come out, enjoy some spotlight, and don't say peep.
Five years ago would have been 2009, which was pretty much regarded as one of the peaks of TNA, both creatively and by ratings.
I guess the only answer to your question though is if you expected...
Tell Chavo Guerrero that.

Kidman's botch cost him literally months with a concussion in 2004-2005.
Has anyone actually released numbers about that? Because there's a difference between losing money and losing their ass on it. I was under the impression that whole deal had to do with the venue...
Well, if Dreamer and the Dudleys didn't get a reaction, then's the time to complain about it. The fact that those guys still get a crowd going have more to do with their talent than where they...
So far, five NXT wrestlers have been let go today. Most of them haven't been on TV, but one was a Rosebud.
The one that I was surprised about was Shaun Ricker. I'd seen him a little bit right...
Because the one thing that the geek/nerd culture does well is complain about everything all the time. It's kind of the defining characteristic of the tribe that Hardwick is trying to represent.
I suspect Main Event also never seeing guys like Cena might have played into that show losing it's spot - for the last decade, if it doesn't have Cena, it's not really WWE. It's been a good b-level...
Hey, it's pretty good right now. And they're delivering both big and quality matches.
I'm watching for the same reason I've always watched - there's wrestlers in TNA that I like. And at least...
Both title matches were really good. Wolves vs. Hardys was fun, and left room for a rematch if they wanted to go that way.
Aries vs. Lashley was easily the best match I've seen out of Lashley,...
The thing about lucha is that, especially in the six man tags, no one can realistically win until the other guys are out of the way, and it comes down to a one-on-one match-up. So no one is really...
I figure that it would be a waste to fire anyone who's got less than a year on their contract. They'll pay out three months anyways on the non-compete.
I'd get rid of Axel, but not Ryback. The...
I think Survivor Series is still considered the 4th (partially because of spacing - it's the big fall event). But MITB has consistently been a better PPV over the last few years.
I think the Matadors are only there because Epico got injured. I think they're a solid team, but have probably achieved all they're going to in WWE. R-Truth isn't doing much of anything, and he's...
