Good Day eh, and welcome to Impact Wrestling. Sponsored by Elsinore Beer. Tonight we have a mouse in a bottle on a pole match. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope. Canadian wrestler who used to work enhancement matches for WWE, and was in TNA at some point. The only reason I would ever bring up Brad May on this board is when discussing how the Jets swapped first round picks with Buffalo and picked a hall of famer, and Buffalo picked a guy who liked to fight.

Raziel Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Rosemary also has the sweet deal where she gets booked all over the place when not working the marathon tapings, plus runs her own merch. Think she also owns the gimmick so she's pretty set to do whatever the fuck she wants, which she wouldn't have the autonomy to do in WWE. Plus Impact books her boyfriend too and they aren't the assholes to couples Vince is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what you are saying is that either the bookers at Impact learned what happens when a popular worker leaves or Rosemary chose to resign because she learned what happens when a popular worker tries to leave.

RIPPA Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Speaking of people leaving - James Storm is expected to be gone soon. His super expensive deal is up in January so the expectation is he will work the next tapings and then be done. (Granted that means he will still be on TV till like Feb) It would make sense that they put him in their Hall of Fame on Sunday but this is TNA we are talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Maybe they can hire someone to NXT that can make Storm want to go there, get fired, and then have Storm immediately go back to TNA cause he is an idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got May Day and one of the greatest moments (and greatest calls) in Sabres history so for that alone we didn't do too bad relatively speaking.

Of course it isn't. TNA probably doesn't pay workers enough to afford cars. I kinda hope TNA goes full-on and becomes a Canadian indy. There's a number of guys I'd like to see get the exposure (and, conversely, there's a number of guys being featured now that I could stand to see less of).

dokdoyle Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 It would actually make sense for them to try to add as much canadian content. If they can be declared CanCon, it's not like getting government subsidy directly (Although it may make it easier to get Film and Media Tax credits), but every station has to play a certain amount of CanCon as a condition of License up here. I'm not sure what it is, but if they are cheap enough, they could get picked up by other networks or at the very least help out with the numbers on Fight Network and GameTv, the networks they are flooding with impact programming up here right now (Fight Network being a Second tier cable channel, so not available to everyone, Game TV is I think a must-carry for Digital Carrier up here) Cancon, the reason Anne Murray and early Celine Dion had careers, could save impact.
