ANOTHER MAJOR NAME GONE FROM TNA
By Mike Johnson on 2015-07-24 11:05:52
Bully Ray, who JUST returned to TNA TV as the new GM brought in by Dixie Carter, is already gone from the company.

Ray hasn't been at any of the TV Tapings that are currently being held in Orlando, Florida (where he lives) and when people started asking where he was (since he lives locally in the area and the Team 3D Wrestling Academy is located there as well), word began making the rounds that he was gone.

The story I heard this morning is that Ray told the company he was done as he wasn't happy with the current state of affairs of the company and felt it was better to distance himself. Obviously, he was working on a per appearance deal and wasn't under contract.

Nonetheless, it has to be seen as a negative when TNA spends an entire week building up his return on TV and then he almost immediately quits the company. How they will handle his departure from a creative standpoint remains to be seen.

This is a combination of unprofessionalism from Bully Ray and LOLTNA at the same time.

G1 stuff

Spoiler

Anderson beat Nakamura and Goto? What? Why? Is this something that happens in the G1 from time to time or is getting ready for a singles push?

 

[Autumn Wind]

Who watched Timeline 1994 WCW with Eric Bischoff by Kayfabe Commentaries? If you're a wrestling historian, I would recommend it.

See Shelton Benjamin from last year

 

[Deleted member 47027]

Sadly no Alex" Evo champ" Rusev

Who are those weenies next to him?

 

[avengers23]

Is Kenny Omega the start of the intentionally prematurely gray trend, orbits he just a follower?

 

[RBH]

All of the Hulk Hogan stuff lately somehow reminded me of that Hulk Hogan Kinect game that came out a few years ago and the amazing Quick Look that Giant Bomb did for it:

I was in tears when I first saw the entrance for Jeff's created wrestler (at the end of this video).

I think it's Seth at least ring wise, he is confident on the mic too. But he's stuck in a bad position at the moment.

 

[Pizoxuat]

I've got zero exposure to ROH guys, but I gotta say that I really enjoyed Okada vs Elgin from the 23rd. Fun match with a lot of strength spots for both guys.

 

[Professor Beef]

Who are those weenies next to him?

Mike "4th place" Ross on the right, and the corpse of Gootecks on the left.

 

[¡HarlequinPanic!]

Beef, did you compete at Evo?

 

[Professor Beef]

Beef, did you compete at Evo?

I did. Went 3-2 in Smash 4 and almost made it out of my pool, and went 0-2 sadly in SF4.

Fuck Blanka

 

[Frecklestein]

 

[spindashing]

yeah, same reaction here.

haha

 

[Data West]

I wish Lunchbox was around to give his 2 cents on Xavier Woods and his Gamer Lyfe Publicity Shots.

 

[slightconfuse]

Uhhhhhhh

Shinsuke Nakamura, who was the favorite to win the G-1 Climax tournament, suffered a left elbow injury in Saturday's match in Kagawa against Yuji Nagata.

He missed today's show in Hiroshima. He is scheduled to face Michael Elgin on tomorrow's show in Beppu. We have no update on his condition at this point.

 

[Man God]

Scott Steiner was right.

 

[RP912]

Uhhhhhhh

fuck.

By the rate the G1 is going, the only healthy dude in the tournament will be Yano :/.

 

[DMczaf]

Elgin is going to win G1 at this rate.

 

[RBH]

fuck.

It's Naito's year breh...

It looks like there is some credibility to the rumors of WWE SummerSlam being a 4 hour pay-per-view this year.

Luca Franchini, who does WWE announcing for Sky Italia in Italy, announced on Facebook that WWE informed the network that this year's SummerSlam will be 4 hours long, in order for them to prepare and make room for the extra hour.

Franchini noted that SummerSlam is now scheduled to begin at 7pm EST instead of 8pm EST, pushing the Kickoff Pre-show up to 6pm EST.

It's possible WWE will make the official announcement this week.

[DMczaf]

Summerslam is 4 hours due to Sting and Undertaker entrances.

 

[slightconfuse]

Looks like Hojo and Satamura had another MOTYC

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

A friend of mine keeps going on at me to watch lucha underground.

Is there any way I can pay for this being in the UK? I see it's only 37 eps in so I'd rather watch from the beginning

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Everybody knows it's Famous Hoot's year, good brothers. The Machinegun Karl Anderson is gonna be hoisting the belt up high in the Tokyo Dome come January, with a pool of internet darling smart mark tears growing at his feet. Keep it kayfabe, real shooters.

Powerful post is powerful. Karl going to be the real MVP of Bullet Club.

Taker got his Raw opening entrance down to 4 minutes, he's getting better!

Funny thing is TNA used it once when it debuted on DA.

 

[bean breath]

How do you pronounce Elgin in Japanese?

 

[slightconfuse]

These are pretty cool

 

[Gonzalez]

How do you pronounce Elgin in Japanese?

Elgin-Kun

 

[Arrowgigantic]

How do you pronounce Elgin in Japanese?

e-ru-gi-n

 

[bean breath]

e-ru-gi-n

It kind of sounds like something a Street Fighter character would yell out when they throw a fireball.

Smh Trips needs to just "borrow" ideas from Wrasslegaf and call it a day. Where's Jason Harvey when you need him?

 

[miserable]

Has Bryan been cleared to wrestle by Chris "Z-pak" Amann? Because only his expert opinion will assure me of Dbry's full recovery.

Destination America dropped the 8pm timeslot for ROH

 

[Heel]

Absolutely will watch. Heel, I guarantee that the FGC will help the WWE go mainstream.

This is the greatest night in the history of eSports.

Who are those weenies next to him?

Mike "Mike Ross" Ross and Xavier Woods.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

That's like asking Ebert to help with filmmaking, yikes.

At least Ebert would be able to separate his stuff in paragraphs
