Jeff Jarrett out as GFW CCO & Anthem looking to sell Impact Wrestling

Angry Grimace

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
Lol at anyone thinking Jeff Jarrett could have saved that company. What were those suits thinking? Letting the only wrestler worse then Buff Bagwell take control, smh

I mean, let's not forget that they actually picked one of the few worse choices before the Anthem sale when they had RUSSO involved, then the ownership group wanted Russo pushed out and then there was a big problem because Russo was still secretly involved thanks to sweet-talking Dixie behind the scenes.

Vince will let anybody come back, but Jeff has held a grudge against him forever and wants to be a competing promoter.

Jeff is the one guy who was blacklisted, based on him "holding up" Vince for $300,000 to drop the IC title to Chyna on his last night in the promotion (It was money he was owed and was usually paid out every 90 days- he demanded to get it immediatly).

Vince McMahon will bring back anyone who can make money. Notice how Buff Bagwell hasn't come back at all?

Checkmate
Well, Buff actually was in a serious car accident in 2012, had a breathing tube, that is how serious it was. He is also suing WWE for royalties so that is why he might be persona non grata as well.

This is so bad it's funny. Also a chance for the Hardy's to finally get back the broken gimmick?
Everything that made that gimmick successful was the freedom the Hardys had with their own creative. They will enjoy no such freedom in the land of Vince.

People can post all the Bagwell gifs they want, christ knows that tedious gimmick in WrassleGaf has been going on forever but all the gifs in the world will not change the fact that Bagwell sucked, never drew a dime and is looked at by pretty much anyone who has a voice on wrestling as being terrible.

Buff makes more money escorting.

That's not even a joke. That's literally what he does now.

Was it him or his mom that scared Vince

I will always respect Buff for asking his mom to talk to JR, truly the greatest heel move.



Not surprising to see a new GFW is dieing story. Even while they were being saved by anthem they weren't paying people. If Anthem has soured on the product I won't be suprised to see them pull out all together. With no one at the wheel they will sink. Hopefully finally.

Yeah, I actually watched WCW in 1997. He was a pretty good worker/heel. Even by dirt sheet opinions at the time.

Billy Corgan laughing maniacally right now

I don't know about that. He seemed like he actually wanted to try to help TNA at the time and couldn't get over Dixie's strange hierarchy and her need to be like WWE. He apparently helped with some of the Broken stuff, so he was trying to differentiate between the two by trying different stuff with people in TNA who were actually stars. I would assume he's disappointed in the time he wasted more than anything else.
 
What's with all the unnecessary Buff Daddy slander? Buff worked for Turner during the war and is therefore better than anyone currently going.

Absolutely, but he has to be thinking that if they went with him instead this would not be happening

Why is my friend Hex misrepresenting my role in our mutually beneficial and wholly equal relationship?
 
I'll wait for Jim Cornette's take on this.

Dude is 50. What were they expecting?

It wasn't just that, I mean he was literally wasted, he spent the whole time out there yelling at fans and getting in their faces and not in the normal "tee hee I'm a heel" way. It was really creepy.
I mean stumbling down to the ring throwing tortillas into the audience I can almost chalk up to heel, but he grabbed someone's beer and threw it into the audience and almost got in multiple fights even after he was eliminated
 
The real story here, which Dave hinted at but nobody is talking about, is that Jeff--most likely because of Karen--is smoking crack cocaine again.

I once talked to a bartender who claimed he saw JJ in a bathroom using coke. As far as Karen goes, let's not forget that she is a former stripper.
