I've been here 10 years strong. Then. Now. Forever.

I will go down with this ship. And I won't put my hands up and surrender. There will be no white flag above my door.

That's fair. I thought the story ramifications were good, just that the matches themselves were sloppy and uninteresting.

Yeah, if they were on and served no real purpose, I'd have hated it but since they built up the Sexy Star match and then had some development, I enjoyed the segment.

That's my biggest gripe with the current WWE product. Too many matches with very little point.

Also I guess TNA will now turn into even more of a rinky-dink promotion if the rumors are true.

Chance for them to actually take some chances at things like format changes and strange gimmicks, etc. Try and do something different instead of aping WWE or bringing back ECW grandpas for the 9000th time.

Beulah McGillicutty was Paul Heyman's biggest coup. ECW had some of the biggest rats, skanks, and butter faces in the industry. But Beulah was a fucking 10.

TNA wrestlers just received an email informing them the company will have a conference call with the roster in about ten minutes to inform them personally of the company's future plans.
The announcement, officially, that TNA is moving to a new TV home, will be issued at the same time.

A TNA source literally just texted me and said, "Stay near your computer."

I want Raw to open up with Vince watching WWE on a high def HDTV and then right next to it a shitty 12 inch CRT TV with TNA playing on it.

"You're now talking to the owner of the WWE and the owner of TNA"

BIG ALBERTO DEL RIO UPDATE
by Mike Johnson @ 5:31 PM on 11/18/2014

After making a surprise appearance at the House of Hardcore event in Philadelphia, PA over the weekend, it appears American wrestling fans will see a lot more of the former Alberto Del Rio in 2015.

As I discussed in the Elite section of PWInsider, the former Del Rio, while appearing at the Signamania wrestling convention over the weekend, told numerous fans that he would be working for both Lucha Underground and TNA in 2015. TNA had been interested in Del Rio since word of his WWE release became public. Del Rio has mentioned plans to sign "two contracts" in media appearances.

Del Rio settled his breach of contract issues with WWE last week, paving the way for him to return to the ring within the United States.

Available in half as much homes as Spike
Getting less money than they got with Spike
Paying 10% of whatever they get from the deal to their agency
Basically no longer the #2 in America

Can't wait to see how people spin all of this as great for TNA
