EN090 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 According to Pro Wrestling Dot Net, TNA President Dixie Carter addressed the locker room regarding the company's TV situation at one point during the Impact tapings in Bethlehem, PA. Dixie told the wrestlers that she believes they will have a TV home on January 7th and expressed happiness with Impact airing on Wednesday nights. Multiple TNA sources believe a new TV deal could be announced as early as this week, though one source believes it could be closer to Bound For Glory time in October before anything is finalized. The most popular network name floating around the TNA locker room was WGN America. The feeling of some within the company is that Dixie may have dropped a hint at negotiations with WGN back on September 10th. "Nothing like showers and high winds to impact traffic and my hair in the Windy City this am," she wrote on Twitter. While there's no telling what she was doing in Chicago that day, the locker room speculation stems from the fact that WGN America is owned by Tribune Media Company, which is based in Chicago. The Velocity network has also been rumored, and Spike TV has claimed to be in negotiations with TNA.
Overly Critical Man Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I remember WGN was interested in TNA way back in 2005 and were in negotiations before TNA ended up with Spike. Interesting that they're still interested in having TNA on their station even years later.
The Nature Boy Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Cue the "CM Punk to TNA" rumors if WGN picks them up.
Casey Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I didn't even know WGN still existed, to be honest. I thought it turned into IonTV or something.
MGFanJay Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 PAX turned into ION. WGN America is the national-ish version of WGN, which I've always gotten in Northern VA and got to see Rock 'n Wrestling reruns on in '93.
Craig H Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 WGN America is the superstation that sadly no longer airs Cubs games, as mentioned earlier :/
TerjeRUN Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 And... MAJOR SPOILER: Rhode beat Lashley to win the title with Kurt as ref. Interesting. Debatable choice at this stage, but interesting.
BEN! Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 No Lashley at BFG according to Jimmy Suzuki from W-1: Some internet sights say Bobby Lashley will be at the BFG but that's wrong !! We would lake to be honest to fans and don't take it wrong. From TNA's site: See your favorites in action from the land of the rising sun, including Lashley, MVP, Samoa Joe, Cowboy James Storm, The Great Sanada, EC3, Abyss, Davey Richards, Eddie Edwards, Bram, Manik and more! Bram. Nobody's favorite is Bram. The innovative young minds behind TNA's biggest PPV of the year: https://twitter.com/JimmySuzuki1/status/514773209322098688/photo/1 Tenay, Ryder, Vader's grandpa, Fat Andy Capp, Suzuki They should give me the book. Following the integration and utilization of my theory of Stud Stablization, I feel confident that everything will be running at peak optimization in no time. First, a change in the broadcast booth. New team of Josh Mathews, Mongo McMichael, and J. Puppet Levescue. Mike Tenay knows who J. Puppet Levescue is. It's the former Puppet H. Every week, Mongo berates J. Puppet's wardrobe choices. "Oh, look at that no good J. Puppet over there, dressed up like a cowboy. You must have rocks in your head, baby, if you're over there supporting James Storm and his Revolution, baby. And lemme tell all you good folks out there in TV wonderland something, baby, listen to Mongo, baby, you ain't gonna find action like this anywhere else so keep it tuned in right here to Impact, baby!" 4
mattdangerously Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Only if Mongo brings the stuffed and mounted body of Pepe with him every week.
cool arrow Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 "Fat Andy Capp" Tazz is basically square at this point. His height and width are the same. 2
Hollywood Cibernetico Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 After watching all of 1995 Nitro, I wouldn't be upset if Mongo did show up in the booth. 1
Spontaneous Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 If that was a video you'd have seen Tenay is clearly blinking torture
Petey Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 That picture is something else. Bob Ryder managed to look like Bob Ryder while looking better than Taz. Wow.
cool arrow Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 There are ways to go bald gracefully. And then there's Bob Ryder.
EN090 Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 i muat say, its pretty sad that those are the people that run TNA. If there was ever a picture worth a 1,000 words.
Casey Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 i muat say, its pretty sad that those are the people that run TNA. If there was ever a picture worth a 1,000 words. They wish it was worth $1000, though.
Spontaneous Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 So first two matches announced for Bound For Glory: Muta & Tajiri vs Sanada & Storm Samoa Joe vs Low Ki vs Kaz Hayashi Source: TNA's twitter
Zakk_Sabbath Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Every time I hear Bob Ryder's name, the only phrase my mind associates with it is "beefy, Ecstasy-addicted Abyss" 3
jstout Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 Every day that TNA's announce team isn't The Hog~! and Don West is a wasted day, as far as I'm concerned. 1
Spritenaut 32 Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 There are ways to go bald gracefully. And then there's Bob Ryder. It's not a wrestling thing, much as I'd like to somehow blame Hulk Hogan for the trend. There's a guy at my gym who has gone bald on top, but keeps the sides long and wears it in a greasy-looking ponytail. As someone who went bald at a fairly early age, I don't understand why people don't just admit they're bald and find a hairstyle that looks decent. When you're bald/badly thinning on top, having hair on the sides is not going to convince anyone you are not bald. Pathetic and in denial? Possibly. Hairy? No (Full disclosure. I was noticing hair loss by the time i started college. That is not a typo. By the time I graduated college, I was getting increasingly shorter "shaves" from an electric clippers. By the time, I hit my early 30's, I started shaving my own head completely bald twice a week. I should have done that earlier. The "cue ball" look works far better for me than the really-short-hair-on-sides-really-high-forehead look.)
cool arrow Posted September 27, 2014 Posted September 27, 2014 At least Ryder doesn't do the combover. That's just the most ridiculous thing ever.
