Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 1 hour ago, RIPPA said: Take this for what it is worth (so you know what that means) Jeff Jarrett contacted Vince Russo about returning (per Vince Russo) ...because of course he did I've never wanted this promotion to die as much as I do now. Can we get the Harris Brothers involved again? That's what this company needs. Nazis! At least, the 2017 AWE Impact Dumpster Fire Thread will be entertaining. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibs Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 He contacted him about what his podcasts numbers are and then ended up giving the spot to Prichard, since his numbers are much better. So Russo was butt hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 If we're going to go all out, let's get an AWE'ized version of this classic intro: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 6, 2017 Author Share Posted March 6, 2017 Not surprisingly - Pro Wrestling Sheet is reporting that while working on the UK deal, Jarrett has been asking Spike about returning to the network in the US too. I am sure POP will be thrilled about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thibs Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 if a return to Spike is possible, I'd love for them to make Xplosion into a legit 2nd show and keep it on POP. Make it half decent and it'll still draw those 300k viewers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 It would be such a AWE/TNA move to get back on Spike, only to get dumped again when the network rebrands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thibs Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 Quote Spike TV spokesman David Schwarz told Brian Fritz of BetweenTheRopes.com that the network is not negotiating a television deal with TNA Impact Wrestling despite a report to the contrary. “Spike TV officials confirm that Scott Fishman was there for personal reasons — and is not negotiating any deals,” Schwarz stated. prowrestling.net Hmm. What personal reasons would a network exec have to be at a wrestling show taping? Apparently this wasn't the first time Fishman was there in recent months. Combine that with them doing business in the UK and it doesn't add up. This sounds like Jarrett possibly trying to save face with POP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Also based on tweets last night - they are bringing Crimson back (It looks like they did some sort of sit-down interview with him that wasn't part of the tapings) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPPA Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share Posted March 7, 2017 Moose tweeted that he is available for bookings for the entire year so folks naturally started speculating that meant he was done with TNA. Meltzer that he is being told that he isn't gone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nice Guy Eddie Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I could see Moose making his way to nxt. I think enough time has passed from his domestic violence incident that there wouldn't be an uproar over WWE signing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious Darius Bagfelt Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I guess the "Impact" of shelling out a bunch of money for TNA is touching the Fight Network as they have axed a bunch of the on air talent and have axed a bunch of the in house produced programming.

BEN! Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 These spoilers look like PWS/GFW presents One Night Only featuring the stars of Impact Wrestling. They needed like 5 new guys over the next few weeks not 30 at once. Every time there's a creative change at TNA they make a big deal out of it and explain how things have been bad but now they're going to get better. They say this to the current audience which just insults them by saying that they've been watching something bad so that audience pretty much leaves and TNA has to rebuild an entirely new audience. These people have been in this business for decades and should know better but they just never learn. Since they're making Dixie Carter out to be history's greatest villain and probably turning EC3 they should've made some kind of angle out of dropping the TNA name. Too late now. And instead of Bruce Prichard and Karen Jarrett, they need an authority figure with some credibility with the people. Put some feathers on Vanguard-One and call him The Anthem Owl. Whenever they need an authority figure announcement, have some models dance him out onto the stage and put him on a platform and then he delivers his message via "hologram" projected onto the big screen. Would be credible AF. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And JJ is shitting on it because it wasn't him. Regwrding owl, they're running an online contest to name him. So I may have not been far off.
