I cannot believe that many homes actually get ION. Main Event is the only original program that channel gets, the rest of the shows are reruns of terrible comedies and dramas some decent movies though.

ION is PAX TV rebranded and that was on pretty much every TV package in just about all of the US because at night it became The Jesus Network. According to wiki, over 99 million people in the US have the channel.

You know what's really uncomfortable? If you google Hulk Hogan sex tape, about 80% of the images that pop up on the first 2-3 pages are of Brooke and Hulk.

Fuck that, I want Bully Ray as the top babyface fighting A8 off while still being exactly the same as he is now. Just the top babyface. It will be like WWE.

EDIT: You know what would be awesome? If Sting (who finally became genre savvy at the time when Hogan and Bischoff came to TNA) is actually setting Bully Ray up, knowing that he's the mole and a part of A8. Sting would turn on Bully Ray, not to turn heel, but to expose Bully. It'd be a great reversal of the "Partner turns on Sting" angle. He called that shit with Hogan and Bischoff nearly a full year in advance. Why would it be weird if he saw this coming?

Jeff Hardy was still in his first TNA run at that time.

Remember, these numbers are just downside guarantees. They get paid more for actually showing up and working and also mega PPV bonuses.

dat Maria paycheck is some real life stuff
I've always wondered why she is still in the business. I mean she's not trashy-wrestling good looking, she's genuinely standout beautiful and I got to imagine some modeling jobs would pay a lot better than those wages and whatever small amount she gets from ROH.
 
she doesnt even have booty. or any muscles. does she manage to lift anybody she wrestles?

Try watching one of her matches - she isn't particularly built, but her strikes are above and beyond pretty much every other diva on the roster. Probably because, first and foremost, she is a wrestler from a family of wrestlers, and more experienced and well travelled than a lot of other divas.

The Punk/Austin interview was great. They should have more interviews like that on TV (with JR moderating).

Impact was solid last night. I can't help but cringe every time unread Tucker's instant reaction on pwtorch.

Bully is getting his push which is a great move. He is one of their top talent. Kaz and Daniels are awesome and I loved how Kaz called Chavo Nacho Libre. Production had some great backstage shots and segments.

Can't wait for Aries to decimate Hardy.

I am a Joey Ryan mark at this point so it's awesome news to see him performing at their biggest ppv.

Bottom line. I enjoyed last nights episode. Still get the fuck out of Florida. These fans are garbage.
