    Paige and Del Rio were photographed kissing at Disneyworld or something. Apparently Charlotte had a fling with Del Rio and now there's heat between the two ladies: hence their match on Raw last week.

     

    In other tidbits, Meltzer suggested a few days ago that he has some big news but couldn't release it yet. He teased releasing it on radio but seemingly hasn't, his words being that he was going to report something that would be misinterpreted in the morning.

     

    And over night, Darren Rovell (ESPN Sports Business Reporter) tweeted the following: "Those in the sports biz industry are going to want to have an early coffee tomorrow. Some huge stories going down that will generate buzz". I don't think it's wrestling related but Meltzer being on to it might mean that at the very least it's UFC-related. That said, Rovell said it wasn't UFC-related "yet". So... yeah... any guesses? America should be waking up soon, right? :p

    Joe was in TNA before his match with Kobashi. That match actually happened close to the same time as the unbreakable 3 way. Aries was in TNA around the same time as well in 05 just after his first ROH title run ended. And as great as his trilogy with Punk was it still doesn't compare to the attention being on ppv and TV with an arguably national company. I said in my original post Joe and Aries to an extent are homegrown yes a minority of fans may have known of them prior but they became more recognizable as TNA wrestlers.

     

    I agree that both guys recieved more attention in TNA than elsewhere but I'm thinking in terms of being put on the map and establishing their name. It's all subjective but to me, Joe was made in ROH. Slight change of topic, but has any wrestler anywhere ever been as critically praised as Samoa Joe during that period in 2005 crossing over to 2006?

     

    Think about it: the Punk matches, the Unbreakable three way, the Kobashi match, that phenomenal match he had with Styles at Turning Point (****3/4), the match with Daniels a couple of months later (****1/2). Just a phenomenal stint.

    If we're talking national attention, I disagree that Samoa Joe is TNA home-grown. He was made in ROH after his matches with Punk and the international dream match with Kenta Kobashi, which was huge among wrestling fans at the time. He also toured Japan and had a singles match against Misawa before he signed with TNA.

     

    I also disagree with Aries, he was a two-time ROH Champion before he signed with TNA. Austin Starr doesn't count. :p

     

    The rest I agree were TNA home-grown.

    So really the only guys you mentioned that could be considered home grown is Abyss and Monty Brown. (Sorry for triple post.)

     

    ......Right. That's the point. Home grown talent in my eyes is someone who is straight from a dojo and is built up to be a star.

     

    Monty Brown made his debut in 2000. Abyss made his in 1995.

    got done watching the Monday night wars on the network. Lots of repetition, but overall entertaining. Question though. When the TBS deal was pulled out of the offer to Bischoff, weren't there still other TV deals in place (Canada, japan, mexico etc)?. I'd think that would still be worth while and that eventually a US deal would come. Also, is there a mod for that scenario? might be my first RW attempt.

     

    There's Genadi's WCW Lives On. It's a really great mod and I think it's being worked on for a TEW 2016 release.

    The Finger Poke of..........HOPE!

     

    Ah just a few days ago I watched the Legends of Wrestling roundtable discussion that the WWE did on the nWo. Kevin Nash did a great job of rationalizing the Finger Poke and what it was supposed to lead to, which all sounded very promising until Goldberg punched a window. :')

     

    Definitely a very interesting scenario if that's the route you take.

    From the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:

    In a really bad sign, the television and office people will be moving at the end of the month from their headquarters at Cummins Station in Nashville, where the corporate offices have been located since Dixie Carter took over the company in 2002. The company had fallen behind in rent and were no longer able to afford to stay there. They had already moved the offices to the basement where the TV production was done to cut back on expenses and Cummins Station essentially evicted them effective the end of the month. They are now moving the corporate offices to the warehouse they had been using for their merchandise. Because there is no room for the television production at the warehouse, they are moving the production to the offices of North Star Productions in Nashville. Carter had been based at Cummins Station long before TNA ever existed, as she was running her Trifecta Entertainment publicity company out of those offices. The Jarretts hired Trifecta Entertainment to do their publicity when they started TNA in the summer of 2002. The Jarretts had lost so much money in the early months of TNA, due to having a business model that simply couldn’t work, doing weekly $10 PPVs with no television to promote the PPV. That was based on the idea that PPV was profitable but the costs of producing television unless you had somebody to pay you, which they didn’t, cost money, missing the obvious fact that without television to promote it, very few people were going to buy PPVs. They were thinking they could do 150,000 buys weekly due to the low price, but ended up hovering between 8,000 and 12,000 weekly after from the third week on when thing settled into a normal pattern. When they were going to have to close up because they were so far in debt, Carter, the publicist, found out and being from a wealthy family, she put together the deal where her father would purchase controlling interest in the company to keep it alive and she would become the company President. The new prospective investors, who do exist and are still in play, haven’t purchased an interest in the company yet as far as we can find out. They have put money in to keep the TV going. The deal revolves around who ends up with controlling interest in the company but the feeling is TNA needs the deal to go through to survive, giving the investors the leverage to get the controlling interest

     

    Another bad sign is that with no notice, on 4/11, Pop TV canceled the second Tuesday night airing of Impact. I should point out it was no notice to the fan base, but TNA was aware but also didn’t let its fans know until the day before. The assumption that all fans are going to find out about time slot changes through the Internet is so flawed. The least you could do is give the fan base one week or longer notice on television. They pushed that there’s only one chance to see the show. The second airing will instead air at 11:30 a.m. on Saturday mornings. This feels just like Destination America, although they were bailing on the replays the first time they got a bad number while Pop at least waited for a full quarter. It’s not good news, but in reality, the people who are fans of TNA will just set their DVR’s if it’s a bad time slot, and if they don’t, they were losing interest anyway. But it sucks as far as making new fans on the West Coast because the two airings are 6 p.m. on a Tuesday and 8:30 a.m. on a Saturday. The change isn’t that bad, in the sense they weren’t moved out of prime time, but just the fact they’d make the change a day before airing is never a good sign. Plus, every time TNA has had a time slot move, the result has always been whittling away at the audience, and there’s so much evidence in that direction that Pop making this move pretty much says what they care. Plus Brad Schwartz, the President of the station, who was predicting 1.3 million viewers when they got the product, and regularly tweets about company programming, hasn’t mentioned TNA in a Tweet in more than a month

     

    Seriously worrying times.
