Go2Sleep Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Booking-wise, it'd probably be best for Rusev to take some time off anyway. This laughably-acted love triangle isn't going to do anything for him, especially if he ended up jobbing to Ziggler. He's better off coming back in a few weeks with a fresh start, maybe even as a face. Maybe after Rollins drops the belt, he can reform DIFH with Rusev. Jacobs is writing, after all. \/\/\/\/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo Necro Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 In other non-Destination America news, apparently Rusev was injured at the Smackdown taping. They should cover it by having him come out and say he is refusing to wrestle because he has a broken heart. Emo-Rusev. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I think DA has found a way to reach a happy medium with having wrestling draw good ratings but not get good money in ad rates. They have to pay paying ROH pennies on the dollar of what they are paying TNA, because they are paying TNA enough (theoretically) to produce the show. With ROH they are just using the same show that's already airing on Sinclair networks. So ROH probably isn't getting a whole lot of money for this but it is increased exposure, some extra income and no added costs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyMax46 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Time to update the theoretical EWR style promotions board. 1. WWE 2. NJPW (?) 3. ROH. 4. CMLL. 5. AAA. 9000. Getting hit by a bus. 9001. TNA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Ok so the odds of this being true are slim to none, but food for thought in regard to the TNA/ROH/DA situation: with Billy Corgan claiming that Meltzer and everyone else were being worked by a sloppy angle, is it possible the whole cancellation is a work and this is leading to an interpromotional feud?? I mean, whoever planted the Dixie email story is a genius, cause who WOULDNT buy that after the whole Russo/Spike/Mike Johnson email debacle??

CrazyMax46 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't think I would promote an interpromotional feud by making another company look ten times smarter than my own company through my own incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zakk_Sabbath Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Haaaaa true. Oh man. This is so God damn funny. I feel bad for anyone who loses their job, but between MVP's tweets and the TNA one about "finally having a related lead in" it's just all so good man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyMax46 Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 If I was going to fantasy book, I would take the Impact and ROH titles and throw in a NJPW belt and a CMLL belt and make a Triple/Quad Crown. Hell throw in a few NWA belts and make a Super Crown. I mean come on, Adam Cole coming out with eight belts? Buys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Guy Named Tracy Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Has it been confirmed that Destination America will simply be reairing the Sinclair show?

evanknight Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Random speculation on the DA/TNA situation: DA told TNA they were bringing ROH to the network, TNA tried to fight it even though they didn't bother to negotiate exclusivity, DA pushed back and let TNA know the door is that way if there is a problem.

Ace Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Some minor updates from Meltzer & Alvarez: Right now, it's uncertain where Samoa Joe stands. ROH is checking with WWE to see if they're allowed to use him on TV tapings. They have a plan with him involved, and one without. This makes ROH the undisputed #2 company in the US, as they're already getting comparable numbers of viewers to TNA on their syndicated show. Alvarez seems to be the first person to know about this, as somebody from ROH texted him before the announcement. ROH recently got a new lighting rig, so their production values should be on par with TNA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
