I don't really follow TNA, but since when is Low Ki called Low Ki again in TNA. Doesn't he have some special TNA name?

 

I don't think he's on contract. Paid per appearance.

 

 

Yeah, TNA has basically given up the " rights" thing since most of their talent is paid by appearance.  Presumably, no one is going to sign over the rights to their gimmick name for owning namingwhat TNA now is able to pay (I was skeptical it was worth it to begin with).

But they had an extension, THAT MEANS THEY RESIGNED AND AREN'T GETTING CANCELLED, RIGHT?!?!?!?!??!

 

That aside, interesting they're dropping the best of shows.  That pretty much seals that TNA on Spike is dead and buried for reals.

 

I eagerly await TNA on Destination America looking more low-rent than RoH.

According to PWInsider:

 

While appearing at the Signamania wrestling convention over the weekend, Alberto Del Rio told numerous fans that he would be working for both Lucha Underground and TNA in 2015.

 

Both promotions must really want him in a bad way if they're allowing him to work for the other one. So, where does he fit in TNA? Babyface or heel? Ricardo or no Ricardo?

So that's, what, about 6 days out of every 3 months?

His TNA name was Senshi.

Sounds like a first line to a novel about Low Ki's wacky adventures in Madripoor.

I've never been to Destination America's website before...until now. And let me tell you, it's funny as hell. The website's banner background is denim. That's American! They also have ads up for their "When Turkeys Attack" show. American!
