I’m kind of surprised but at the same time very glad.  Until now, he had a (possibly paid) vacation and got to miss two house shows and no TV.  That’s not exactly a punishment, but this feels like something different for a change.  Well done GFW, as maybe ANYONE more interesting can be champion now.

Apparently Angelina Love has been granted her release from GFW.  I went to get the Tweet for a story about it on Wrestlingrumors and it turns out she’s blocked me.  I’ve never spoken/Tweeted to her directly but apparently I must have said something about her that she didn’t care for.  I think I’m honored in a way.

I was asked to look at the career of Velvet Sky and why she got over as well as she did in TNA.  Sure why not.

And the spin is AMAZING.

Playing a supervillain in an episode where there’s a new drug called Stardust.  The episode is fine but the wrestling connection…..doesn’t exist.  Unless I missed it, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t, TNA didn’t mention this once on the recent episodes of Impact.  Yeah one of their stars is appearing on a network TV show in a cool role and they don’t have time to mention it.  They can plug Dixie’s Twitter and give us 19 mentions of whatever Pop TV show is airing but they can’t say this once?

Oh sweet goodness where do I even begin?

So in the last twenty four hours or so, the following news has come out (believe at your own risk in some cases):

1. Billy Corgan is suing Dixie Carter for various reasons. This includes a RESTRAINING ORDER against her and can you really blame him?

2. Dixie Carter seems to owe half of the world money for selling off pieces of TNA to keep the thing going.

3. Some TNA talent might walk if they don’t get paid this weekend.

I’m sure I missed something in there but we’ve reached the point where the court system is trying to keep Dixie Carter away from TNA. They’re out of money and they have bills. I don’t know who Dixie can fleece this time but it looks even worse than usual.

Maybe this changes things but given that it’s TNA, I’ll need to see something before I buy into the hype.  Corgan at least has money, but I continue to wonder how much is going to be pumped into TNA before the investors give up because they’re drawing 350,000 people in a great week.

You had to expect this.  They hadn’t changed nights since last June.  If nothing else it gives them yet another excuse for when their numbers go down as they always do.

They drew 411,000 (up 88,000) for their highest viewed show on Pop so far.

Well done.  Now do it again, only better next time.

Of course it’s online now and this really is something that needs to be seen to be believed. It’s a bit long but check this stuff out and don’t skip ahead to the match itself as you’ll miss the most amazing part.
