Oh no HHH beat your favorite losers and therefore he "buried" them WAAAAAH

He was on top because he was the best

He fucking killed Booker T.

He put a gun to his head, shot, waited 25 seconds then covered his corpse. Because that's supposedly what Harley Race would do.

Shitty "it's all about me" Triple H's full time reign of terror started in 2002 and carries on until 2005.

Triple H in 2003 was height of it all, where he killed everyone and helped destroy more careers than anyone else before or since.

Would you say. ...

He buried them?

TNA President Billy Corgan appeared this morning on ESPN's Dan Le Batard Show to discuss TNA's Bound for Glory and obviously, the currently up in the air situation regarding TNA's short and long-term future were touched upon.

Corgan was asked if there is a bidding war for the company with Vince McMahon and if so, how does one compete with him. Corgan said that you don't because if Vince McMahon wants it, there's nothing you can do because he's going to get it. Corgan followed that up by saying that he doesn't believe that a Vince McMahon purchase of TNA is going to happen right now because Corgan would certainly know if that was the case, since he personally has a piece of the company. He said there's something of a "standoff" right now among different sides to see what was going to happen with TNA.

Corgan was asked if the Bound for Glory PPV show is going to happen this Sunday. Corgan said that he doesn't believe anyone involved in current discussions are going to do something that would put people out of work and not have a show. He said that the wrestlers just want to see a resolution so that a few months from now, they aren't back in the same position. Corgan said that wrestlers he's spoken to have asked him to not make a bad deal. He's working on moving forward.

Corgan said professional wrestling is a tougher sell for advertising, because if you look at it from the perspective of a basketball game and wrestling each drawing a 1.0 rating, wrestling will get the lower ad rates because of the perception of what pro wrestling is. Corgan he wants wrestling to move forward in how it's perceived and brought into the future and there are others who he respects in the company who feel differently. He described it as a battle for what the soul of the company should be.

He said that in wrestling, there is only one philosophy in wrestling - WWE's - but there is a separate way to run offense and defense and have a different company, saying it's like comparing Game of Thrones to Breaking Bad in that they are both successful TV series but completely different animals. He said that in wrestling, it's looked upon as only one way can work, which is like every sports team being run from the mindset that only style of offense and one style of defense could work.

Corgan was asked what the problems hindering TNA were and he said that the company has lacked consistent capital and it's hard to build and promote awareness and create something with that consistent backbone to help.

It really does sound like he's going to be able to put together the funds to keep TNA alive.

And Bryan was on top because Punk left, that's how the business works

.......But Bryan was way more over than Punk was before Punk left and Bryan beat Cena clean for the title while Punk was still with the company

Bryan was definitely way more over than Punk around the time before he left. The Daniel Bryan chants that took over the segment where all the past WWE and HWC champs were in the ring, Punk was there. Also where we got this gif from.

The thirst for Punk didn't return until he suddenly left.

What funds TNA has literally zero dollars in the bank

End it and find away to star over. Sell the tape library to Vince for some start up money

Corgan has the money to buy it and run it, it's just a matter of him getting a good deal and being able to put the funds together in time for the taping.

imbask is trying to pull a HHH and make Shootember all about him
Click to expand...

Shootember is about doing things right and getting facts straight.

The only reason people pin everything on HHH is because, deep down inside, they want to pin it all on Stephanie and they hate women. The idea that a women will take over this company makes them sick

Friend imbask I like how you think Booker T shouldn't have won because he was a WCW guy. But he lost to HHH when HHH was right in the middle of his time where he was cosplaying as a WCW superstar complete with his own Four Horsemen.

I hear TNA's debts are large and no one wants to deal with that bullshit.

And no paying tv deal(ad rates on pop are $300)
No house show rev
No rev from the impact zone because admission is free
Can't imagine merch rev is big
Plus production cost
Plus no one gives a shot about the other than the hardys who don't need TNA to do their thing

Anyone investing is looking for a tax write off

I wasn't even trying to make a point. I just thought it was funny because of our ongoing convo. If you like Triple H, that's fine. You're just dumb.

Lol get the fuck out of here.

Most people hate Stephanie because she was given a position that she was in no way qualified for and to this day still shows signs of aloofness when it comes to wrestling.

She should be chief brand officer and run all of their PR. She's good at that. Keep her away from setting the company booking guidelines, writing, or dealing with the talent in any way whatsoever. She breeds the shittiest of working environments and there's plenty of anecdotal evidence to back it up.

"You are just sexist for hating me!" is the message she's been peddling for years now.
