DTTW Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I'm sorry if this is a no no to talk about it here, but is what's happening with TNA right now the strangest thing ever in wrestling, maybe in business ever? I mean the amount of crazy going on is just some other level stuff. Rockstars, millionaires, wrestlers, tv shows, tv networks, failed ratings, the Hardy's career revival, it's some straight Day's of our Lives/Passions type stuff....that could only happen in wrestling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but we've seen Michaels next to this new era and he looked like he was towering over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritenaut 32 Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 That picture is misleading. Triple H isn't really that tall. In the pic, he's actually standing on the crushed dreams of thousands of smarks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most fascinating part of it is that in the midst of all this chaos, the actual TNA wrestling program is probably the best it has been in YEARS. Like, if you watch the show, there's still a ton of head-scratching booking (Lashley losing the title the day after a PPV from a guy never previously established above the mid-card after a two month build to Carter winning the title) and bad angles (Sandow beating wrestlers with "loaded" finger tape) and there's obviously a shortage of footage (since everything is pre-taped by months) which leads to replay after replay after replay. But, on the whole, it's a perfectly acceptable little wrestling show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Iron Yuppie Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Tangentially wrestling related, Vanity Fair on former Gawker head Nick Denton's relationship with Hulk Hogan's "manager," Peter Thiel: http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2016/11/nick-denton-peter-thiel-plot-to-murder-gawker As a wrestling fan well versed in Hogan's self-promotion and penchant for lying, not to mention it involving slimeball Bubba The Love Sponge, I've always wondered the truth about the video leak and why more effort wasn't put into discovering the source.

DTTW Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 In regards to Sin/Jericho....so WWE still charters a bus for Euro tours? I thought they stopped that for liability reasons. IE accident to bus shuts down a show completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depended on the distance between shows because some of the wrestlers were sending snaps from planes at various times during the tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
