The Hardys and TNA had reportedly come to terms on a new deal back in December, however they did not receive their new TNA contracts until a few weeks ago. It was noted that the contracts arrived late, likely due to the management changes in the company. While it was believed that the Hardys did not want to leave TNA due to the schedule and the creative control that they had, they reportedly were not happy with getting the contracts late and with some of the language in the contract. There is also rumored to be a clause that would require talents to have outside bookings approved by TNA, with TNA keeping 10% of those earnings.

Lol TNA can't act like they're a big company and demand that much control. They are barely above ROH

Verne was all about that 90%

Is anyone going to watch the NJPW show tonight?

Not live but Okada/Gedo Vs Tiger Mask x2 and the Team NJPW Vs Los Ingobernables 10-Man tag sorts out my lunchtime viewing for today.

Good stuff, mate.

I am still very happily surprised at how well Cody seems to be fitting in. He didn't seem out of place at all on night 2 of Honor Rising.

That's because he was less tryhard Cody and more Stardust

Yeah NJPW is weird and kinda shit. They always charge on the first of the month.

It was originally supposed to be like an organized crime clean up type thing and be really serious, but Omega ended up just coming out with garbage cans and brooms etc hehe.

Lmao I figured as much and now it's just a name it seems lol cause he doesn't really do either.

I knew that, but didn't know they would cut you right off the bat.

Pretty fucking weird I hadn't noticed this before...

So does that mean if you signed up in the last week of a month they'd charge you the very next week? Fucked up.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I wasn't aware they cut you off either. Pretty slimey.

Japanese websites and internet are so shit though. Stardom has the worst internet site ever.

My friend is a huge Stardom fan and his CC expired and he got a new one. The button to update payment details is just a jpg. It literally leads nowhere. He had to start a new account just to be able to pay to watch again.

They should never have left the youtube subscription service they had.

Goodnight everyone.

This is a pretty uneventful show. Not bad but nothing great yet.

 

[Hasney]

Damn, Smackdown's great. Shame they pulled the trigger this week as I was enjoying being strung along and questioning things, but the ending was great.

Still, if they are doing AJ/Shane, how is AJ the heel? Hopefully they have a plan for Harper too.

 

[shoelacer]

That ending was hilarious. Of all of the times to bite the Broken gimmick

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I agree. It is pretty much a house show.

PWInsider confirm Mike Bennett and Maria have left TNA. 5 departures this week alone. Still only Tuesday.

Bahahaha

Jesus christ. Their singles match will be fucking something else.

Suzuki vs Shibata is going to be fucking so good. God damn.

That last exchange and sequence there was so awesome. Fuck, way to build hype for a match.

That was awesome. Can't fucking wait for the Cup.

 

[Striker]

Who cares about Mike Bennett tho

Who cares about Mike Bennett tho

TNA were giving them like an hour some episodes, so them?

 

[HashtagLapsed]

I seriously keep expecting Taguchi to go in for the kiss.

Also, people often underestimate Taguchi but they really shouldn't. His match with Takahashi will be amazing.

 

[excelsiorlef]

So I've been thinking how much Suzuki looks straight out of a Tekken game... turns out he did motion capture work on a shit ton Tekken games lol.


And agreed on Taguchi

 

[Browny]

Who cares about Mike Bennett tho

If Vince gets wind that Maria is available, he'll be frothing at the bit.

Especially if he can get Anderson and Gallows to dance again...

 

[Striker]

Other than the Hardy's and Lashley, who else did they have? Without Maria, he never gets in that spot. Probably not even in that company.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

That match was loads of fun too. Totally makes up for the 'whatever' first few matches. I mean it was a spotfest but it was heaps of fun to watch.

Juice running wild.

Really setting up that EVIL vs Tanahashi NJ Cup 1st round match wow.

It is why I love NJPW so much. All that stuff with Tanahashi and Evil now its so simple, but that is how you build hype for an upcoming match.

This has been really good week as a fan of pro wrestling so far for me. Raw might have been empty of any substance but Smackdown was great and we have had NJPW shows every night.

Yeah super bad blood now with Tanahashi and EVIL.

Ibushi is tall for his character jesus

Heh nice Okada is the Rainmaker and Gedo is the Raintaker.


Okada and Gedo really being the heels in this match.

They've been doing that at house shows for a few years now.

The empty seats love it the most.

 

[HashtagLapsed]

lol Ibushi is a fucking maniac.

Another entertaining match.

The first half of that show was pretty so-so but those last few matches were great.

 

[excelsiorlef]

That was great.

Solo match is going to be nuts between Okada and Ibushi

Picked up a bit with the Omega tag match but got really good after intermission
