It was a crazy amount like thirteen grand for her one appearance 100% agree with this assessment by the ninja. How much doesn't really matter in the long run as long as it is spent right.... which in these two instances under discussion (belt/Jersey shore chick) is not.

I have heard as low as 6,000 and high as 20,000 from different people. It is being reported by Ryan Clark and the Wrestling Observer as 18,000. Not that means fact but he knows more people than I and def you. I have seen TRB belts before and been to their website as well and the key word is custom. That belt for Jeff Hardy is actually a painting he did he considers himself an artist and he got it carved into the form and dispite being ugly as sin is very detailed and is alot of poundage of metal. I don't know how much you think something that peticular would cost but 11,000-15,000 grand sounds accurate IMO and I would not be surprised if the cost was more.

I hope mama Carter stops the useless expenses such as paying 18,000 for an ugly purple belt that will only be used for a few months on tv (which is actually like 12 days of work if ya think about it with two Impacts shot in each day usually). Gotta spend money to make money but spend it wisely myjebus.

Hardly watch these days but THE DUDEBUSTERS RULED! They were very entertaining, That sucks! The rest were wastes of space IMO though.

I agree with Bus and UK Wrestling Fan mostly. Alot of these nostalgia acts have a place though some do not. An example of this is one of my favs of all time Foley. He has no place in the company right now and shouldn't be given any backstage role simply due to being able to get another to do the same job for much cheaper. Another is Jeff Jarrett. How much air time TV&PPV's has this dude been given in the span of the last couple months? And he is winning, constantly. Not putting over anybody or giving anyone a rub by being in a program with them that aren't already more over than he (Angle, Joe). Others like Hardy, Angle, RVD, Anderson, Pope, Sting, Taz, Hogan, Bischoff, Flair etc. are solid in their current positions and should be kept as such IMO. Dreamer is a guy I would keep and shove into a backstage guru type (Head Agent something..) Joe, Styles, MCMG, Beer Money, Abyss, Wolfe, Generation Me, Ink Inc., Jay Lethal, Morgan these are the guys who I would keep and push. I would lose Red, Kendrick (whom I like), Kaz, Kiyoshi, Magnus, Orlando Jordan, Rhino, Rob Terry, Shark Boy, Richards, Team 3D (though I would establish even more of a relationship with their school to the point where it is an FCW-very light) And for the love of God stop the Rob Eckos experiment.

you made me lol at that one Hyde! And no he is the real deal little baby boy of one Eric Bishchoff. His name is Garrett Bishchoff.

<p>Everybody ready for Easy E Version 2.0????</p><p> </p><p> He has been crash course in ref'n by Jamie and is currently being trained as a worker by Knobbs and company. I wish him luck, went out drinking with him couple weeks ago and he is an alright kid. Being Bischoff son though is gonna make it tough in this biz... or easy depending. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Short term, very easy to say the least.</p>

Still got hopes with TNA but that pay-per-view was a clusterfu<k of crap.

Heard something today that made me think. Was informed that the finances of TNA are being taken out of Dixie's hand and given to her mother???? This decision was made due to the overpayment of Mikey James (she makes quarter of a million a year and with future house show loops maybe probably being canceled that is a TON of money PPA). This was told to me fourth hand though. Someone to Brian Knobbs, then to Jamie, then to me. If this is true maybe TNA won't buy their death by giving overrated for name value contracts to X-WWEr's though. I expect a good bit of cuts if someone else is taking over cashflow.

Yeah Lebitch took a yearly pay cut but with everyone next year taking pay cuts - don't think that matters. Considering once Miami starts winning titles (and they will) being a winner will mean alot more to him and be worth more than just $$$ on paper in a contract. AND DO NOT FORGET... No state taxes in Florida which means his contract is worth more simply cause he doesn't lose it to the gov yearly.

If ya watch tonight's impact you will see a new "ref". A friend has been training him and others have been training him as a worker. I don't mean to sound "Celt-like" he just promised to kayfabe it and asked me too. But anyway, his bloodline runs deep with someone so I expect he will be around.

This.

I watched last impact earlier today and didn't really care about the whole Immortals/they issue and hoped that Fortune would had caused trouble instead of allying, but whatever. I WAS HOWEVER for the first time in his career impressed with a Jeff Hardy interview. That has to be something. Course it kinda seemed there with the second vid segment alittle Raven/Vampiro/dark for the sake of nothing type deal, but I like that type of character. Never would of picked Jeff to be able to really pull it off, but my impression has favored wanting to see more. RVD/Jeff Hardy feud? A wrestling promotion could do alot worst than that. TNA needs to let Dixie gather her little army (Sting, Samoa Joe, Matt Hardy, Pope, MCMG, Mr. Anderson etc.) and have the war quickly and not drag out the storyline though or any emotion gathered for it (good or bad) will wane.

... well I guess what I wanna do even though I threw up in my mouth alittle... is give Russo some credit. (from what I hear he is extremely overworked currently with others with input deciding to take personal days for surgery and etc. type reasons) I don't know if I am in the minority amongst the smarkys but I am digging the current TNA product. Like alot, like I am making sure to watch, haven't done that since 2:00 in the AM ECW Hardcore TV days. So as much as I HATE Russos smash TV and it all stills seems "smushed together" a little but with the rankings and best of 5 and the ECW nostalgia and the laughs with the bad editing (Abyss breaking his nail board or the Beautiful People chick calling in the "helmeted biker chick who's identity is a mystery" then screaming as she put the boots to the other beautiful peoples chick "get her Tara! Get her Tara!" all in front in the camera. to the nice matches from those who can deliver them (Pope, AJ, Joe etc.) to a heel turn for real estate Steve! (thats great! I find Sting whining to be entertaining.) Just TNA went from being pretty cool to crap to righting itself again IMO and WHOMEVER should get credit for it wish they would.

The Dino's trade confuses me... so Hedo and Jose go where? O - and I am pretty positive Childress isn't a point guard. I think he is a versatile forward can play some guard but I think small forward is his natural position. Could be wrong course. EDIT: Alright I got it. Didn't see the Chandler part Jose goes to Charlotte and probably some other piece or cash or picks or something I would imagine to even it out a bit.

Props to my man Jamie Tucker on taking a solid muscle buster bump from Samoa Joe or so I am told Tuesday at the TNA tapes. My man got the main event RVD vs Joe (not sure if it will be aired tonight or next Thursday) but he said the new yet so old contingent of Raven, Stevie Richards, Tommy Dreamer, and Rhino were in the first row he said watching RVD. My man was sore today and called out of work yesterday lol so just giving props to him.

I enjoyed the draft, it felt like it was now ok not to be mad anymore about the C's losing. I hope we make wise decisions esp considering we have like 63 Million already tied up in 5 players I believe (KG, Big Baby, Perk, Rajon, Wallace is there a 6th I am missing Gator?). Need to get younger but not to quickly - like over the next 3 years or so. We gotta be competitive. That 15 win season few years ago did not go down well in Beantown I tell ya! I would be happy with another 4 seed next year. Alright enuff of my ranting Celtic thoughts. The Bulls are gonna be a beast next year! They are gonna at the very least attract J. Johnson to go along with Boozer or Amare, and that is only if they fail in the King and Bosh sweepstakes. Like to see Bosh go the Miami to team with D-Wade with Johnson and Booze going to Chicago. Don't really care where LBJ goes. I hope the Slovenia Nationals.

R.I.P. Manute Bol. Saw him get in a fight once (I think it was against J.R. Reid) and the big man could slap fight with the best of em. Was one of the funniest things I have ever seen. His family and friends have my well wishes.

Drew doesn't bother me really but not impressed either and I love Sheamus, but for some reason everytime I see both of them I can't help thinking - pushing these two, but couldn't think of anything for Burchill? - I was high on Paul. TNA should pick him up and team him with Williams. Sounds good to me anyway, though I have been awake for 30 some odd hours so all of this could make no sense or be typed in goobledygook.

No huh? Even if it is JUST a higher salary, I think something would be verbally communicated to which Bryan would understand that if he chooses to return when they call (and they will call) that he would be (or could be) a showcase on their show and earn a higher rate of pay.

I do not believe it was a work but I think crown here statement has creditability as I am of the belief that something similar happened. "Gotta letcha go - we love ya and can't wait to bring ya back in 3-6 months when all of this blows over." - considering he probably has a 90 day clause... he might work few indy dates then be back in the E with promised push/title reign/mega-raise.

Love me some Big Baby! Thy will be done. Dominated the length of the land without lakes. Good game.

I agree with your assessment about LA (think it will take 6 games though) but don't see how the Celtics are overrated. We were a four seed, our home record sucks, and half of our roster wears depends. If anyone was overrated think it was the Magic. EDIT: AH! I see "people have overrated". Not you. Well... they are wrong. lol

Hurt or not - Bynum is a beast. The only way in my opinion we can win is to stay out of foul trouble with our bigs which ain't likely with Gasol and Bynum going off like they can and will. It was a good game and we showed we will fight to the end just not sure if it is a battle we can win. As long as one of our three goes ballin' (think it will be Pierce next game. Artest is a great defender but Paul is just to skilled to be shut down again) we will have a chance with, and you can argue all day long, but Rondo is one of the top three PG's in the game leading us. As long as the transition game continues we can keep up, but history has proven the better team usually wins best of seven series... and I don't think we are the better team. That said.... GO CELTICS! THE BEST FRANCHISE IN ANY SPORT!!!!!

I am a huge Celtics fan (born and raised in Boston just moved to Tampa 2 months ago) and I know how much the C's fans and organization love Ray and vice versa. I agree also if we can get him at a reduced price A VERY REDUCED PRICE (Grant Hill type money) we should bring him back. If not then I think he should have to be included in the vets that need to go to get some youth back (Finley, Wallace, Scab, Allen??? Nate???) I would keep Robinson though. Love to have Ray back but not sure it is the smartest plan.
