If WWE don't get a deal with Spike, I want Jarrett/Keith/Ross to. If TNA won't die at the hands of WWE buying TV time at the only station that wants them, TNA dying at the hands of their founder buying TV time for his new promotion at the only station that wants them is an acceptable substitute.

I really wish they could have just bought TNA. The idea of Ross controlling a roster with Aries, Roode, Joe. Magnus, Daniels, Styles and Storm would be really cool. The way TNA has pissed away their talent is astounding.

I thought Russo was back?

I remember reading that TNA brought him back in for meetings as a "special consultant"

How this guy keeps getting work I have no idea. I've not heard one good thing ever said about him by anyone that's ever crossed his path.

He hasn't been mentioned in creative meetings or to any of the talent. The reason some people think he is back is because he was cc'd on a couple of creative emails.

Imagine TNA bankrolled by Keith, run by Jarrett and actual wrestling minds, Paul Heyman booking it completely by himself, and Jim Ross calling the show and in charge of talent relations. This could have been reality if not for Dixie Carter.

That viral marketing thread got me wondering if there are any WWE viral marketers on WrassleGAF.

There's simply no reason to take on the baggage of the tna legacy or spend a premium for it. Those guys will he free soon enough.

[Jitters]

I'm happy TNA is starting to put new people on the show and try out new gimmicks. The show overall is still pretty bad, but I like the direction.

Meltzer about Punk:

It’s been really strange how silent everything is on the C.M. Punk story. However the story started, it would appear D-Day, at least for now, is the 3/3 Raw show in Chicago.

What I thought was strange last week was when the clip of Michael Cole, Jerry Lawler and John Layfield before Raw (it was incorrectly reported this took place during the commercial break in the Mark Henry vs, Dean Ambrose match) making fun of the fans for not being able to get a strong chant going for Punk, and it wound up on the Internet, that WWE didn’t get it taken down. Usually something like that would be down within a few hours. That, and the fact that there is no way Seth Rollins was going to bring up Punk during a commercial break on Raw and get on the mic and incite the crowd to chant his name on his own, seemed ominous.

Given the Chicago show would be the first Monday where people have to pay to order the network and get the post-game show, a cliffhanger ending involving him showing up would be one of the best things they could do to get subscribers. Of course, if he’s really done, then it’s just fantasy booking.

Punk went AWOL on 1/27, right before Raw went on the air. WWE has never done an angle of this type, where it’s not acknowledged at all on television. But it does fit into Punk’s M.O. Still, the idea he’d tell so many people he was unhappy to make it believable he’d walk out and work the boys is not how WWE traditionally does business.

But never acknowledging his leaving as a storyline is also not how they’ve handled a top guy leaving in the past. Usually there is a quick burial and move on. It’s also a weird time because of the hijacking the show issue. If WWE were to suspend him (firing him makes no sense because unless they paid him, he’d be able to the next day start negotiating and appearing on somebody else’s television) and acknowledged it, even though it would be the “correct’ decision, the live audience would make him a cause and could ruin live Raw shows.

Will Vince McMahon be able to, or has he already, pulled what Steve Austin and Chris Jericho called his Jedi mind tricks? Or has Punk already decided to be a puppeteer, as opposed to someone who realizes his body is breaking down and doesn’t want to be out there at a standard lower than he’s been willing to accept of himself? Or has he simply felt he’s not happy there and doesn’t want or need it anymore?

And if he’s not there, how will the Chicago crowd react? This makes that night the most intriguing Raw episode of the year. Because it could be the most positive episode of the year. And it could be the most negative. But if it’s the latter, it will be a one-week thing, because the build to WrestleMania will take over and carry the promotion from there.

As I said yesterday, AJ getting an entire week off to spend with Punk seems a very strange thing to do if you're at odds with the guy.

I think a deal has been reached and Punk will be back soon, not convinced this was a work from the start, but I think it's going to be one. With Hogan not being advertised for next week and the idea that next weeks Raw will end with a cliffhanger, I think they might not wait until the Chicago Raw the next week.

Made it home. Barely. Did 1000 miles today, but 200 miles away from home I had a full blow out. Things started getting bumpy so I pulled onto the shoulder to look and my tire was 80% gone. I didn't hit anything, it didn't explode, I didn't lose control, the tire just blew away like Buddy Rose's fat. I was in the left lane of a 3 lane highway and the tire was front right, so I had to put on the spare with my back about 3 feet max from semis going 70mph. In the dark. And I think it was the first time I've ever even changed a tire. I got it on and all the auto stores had closed about a half hour earlier, so I had to drive the 200 miles home on it going about 60 the whole way. Added 3 1/2 hours to my trip. And then my phone died. And then once I got to Indy, I hit a fucking raccoon. The first time I've ever hit an animal in 10 years of driving. I don't know what kind of bad juju I ran into, but I'm sure Bean Breath is behind it. I'll get a picture of the tire tomorrow. I have no idea how my car didn't flip out of control or anything.

Here are some random pictures from the trip:

Awesome! Did you go to Mesa Verde?

 

[strobogo]

I didn't really visit anywhere besides Long/Huntington/Sunset Beach. The rest was just drive through. Texas/New Mexico/Arizona/California were super rad to drive through. Utah and Colorado were also outstanding even though I hate driving in mountains. The trip there went Indiana > Illinois> Missouri > Oklahoma > Texas > New Mexico > Arizona > Cali. The way back went Cali > Nevada > Utah > Colorado > Nebraska > Iowa > Illinois > Indiana. Oklahoma was my least favorite state to go through. Not just because of the tolls, but also because it took fucking forever and there is NOTHING in it. Even more boring than Nebraska and Indiana.

I wish I had crashed into Vader while driving through the Rocky Mountains. Then he could have powerbombed me and I would have sold it like death. I passed a WWE semi today in either Nebraska or Iowa. It's from 2010ish. I snapped a picture of Eve's arm pit. It's got Legacy era Orton, faux hawk ADR, Eve, WHC Kane, and I think Evan Bourne.

Nebraska all the way through Indiana seems like it is just one big place. So much empty space with nothing in it. At least Nebraska and Iowa had a good number of wind mills. All Oklahoma has is giant churches/crosses and abandoned porn stores.

Iowa's got all the windmills. Nebraska is, for some stupid reason, failing to exploit it's vast amount of wind. But yeah, if you're outside of Lincoln or Omaha, WELCOME TO FARMLAND

I can tell you right now that Keith is prepared to offer Ross a shit ton of money to run the new promotion's talent relations. He's even going to let Ross stay at home in Oklahoma.

Im not hearing that from my sources at all...

You're weirding me out. You want to come to my house and go on a road trip with me. Did you cast the hex on me to give me all the bad luck at the end of this trip?


If I have one real regret about my trip, it's that I didn't go to the Comedy Store on Monday and try to get on Kill Tony. I have a solid premise of how hard it is to commit suicide when you have to take care of your grandparents. Would have worked out well on that show I feel.

Rumours floating around that Kevin Steen and Michael Elgin may be getting an invite to a WWE tryout camp. Sign both, please. I'd be more confident about Elgin's chances than Steen's just given conditioning, but Steen could add some more variety to the roster.
