There is a risk that spoilers for TNA's Bound for Glory PPV will get leaked as they are taping several iMPACT episodes in advance. The September 16-19 tapings in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania will include four weeks of iMPACT! that will air AFTER the PPV in October.
The September 5 and 6 tapings in North Carolina were changed to One Night Only PPV tapings, which means that Bethlehem will get all of the iMPACT! TV tapings.
and again about Tenay, dude has been on the losing end twice now, first with WCW, now with TNA
I mean, is he crying himself to sleep at night?
I don't know. Clearly Dixie cared about the company. I think the issue is that her vision for the company (WWE-lite) and the fan base's vision for the company weren't the same. She did what a lot of big businesses do--hire an outside consultant to help execute her vision for the company. They just failed. They couldn't lure away enough of the WWE audience while retaining their hard core fan base to make a difference.
A lot of companies have made the same mistakes in other industries. They paid big money to trust the wrong people.
jesus, why on earth would anybody bother to read much less write that entire thing?? you could tell after the first few lines it's the same thing that's been regurgitated by pretty much every fan who's been waiting years to say "i told you so".
thanks for sharing it though.
i think he wanted total control and part ownership. heyman i'm sure would've done a great job booking but last time he had total control of a company and owned part of it he bankrupted it in less time than it's taken for TNA to of out of business.
heel don west was the best thing since heel jr, especially when he'd show up late and drunk and then tweet vel vel & angelina during matches.
as for face don west, never forget the CREAM always rises
Ahahahaha
Just creamed him with a big sea bass. Lol
I remember the stuff about communicating with the Beautiful People and strategy sessions and such. Tenay used to question him about that and Don always provided a laugh worthy response.
It was pretty cool seeing Kong cream Gail again too. And oh brother was Bubba ever fat then as compared to now. He really lost a lot of weight in a fairly short period of time.
I loved that era in TNA. Late 00's there was so much fun, stupidity and all. Don was priceless. Things were easy, loose, and cool. It really was a more fun and free shooting alternative to the E. It's a shame they got away from that.

Kurt Angle:"Canada is lacking two things.The first is Olympic heroes,and no Ben Johnson does not count.The second is Memorial Day.We in the States celebrate our heroes by having barbecues.I realise here in Canada you can't have barbecues because you'd be attacked by a moose,a caribou or even a grizzly,it's true! Hold on a second - you'd probably be attacked by a grizzly as well.On second thought..the Grizzlies don't beat ANYBODY here in Vancouver,let alone anywhere else,it's true,it's true!"

I remember telling someone on a FB group I think TNA should take the Discovery Velocity deal. Yes its a cable channel in 48+ million homes right now. And yes its for half of what the Spike TV deal is. Plus it would mean TNA would have to cut salaries and pair the roster to cheaper talent. But it needs to happen. No one really moves the needle in TNA. So its not like losing Bully Ray will effect them in the long term.
Discovery has been building up its family of channels in recent years. They air non-stop promotion of shows and more on the channels from IDiscovery , TLC and more. TNA would be promoted across all the channels . Also within 2 years Velocity would grow into more homes as well. TNA would be a great building block there. Also by the time 2-3 years pass , TNA could get a bigger TV deal by then.
Also the fact TNA can reshape the roster. ROH clearly has more talent there they can bring in cheap. From the Briscoe Brothers to Michael Bennett . Also ex-NXT and WWE guys the company can bring in for cheap . You keep the guys you want in Austin Aires , James Storm and the Wolves. You bring in those cheap talents and it works.
TNA will be fine if they do the Velocity deal. They will get a steady cable home . One who won't throw shows around the schedule and not promote things .
