TNA SuperThread SPOILERS

[Rosetta]

Destination America cancelling TNA already, had an outclause if things didn't work as they planned and they are going to enact it

Impact will continue to air until September.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I won't believe it until someone other than Dave Meltzer says they're being cancelled.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Well, TNA's news has gone from bad to worse. The company that negotiated their TV deal with Destination America forgot to add a no compete clause to their contract. DA have signed another promotion as a lead-in to Impact.

Spoiler: New TV Show

Ring of Honor Wrestling

 

[Big Pete]

Where as TNN's treatment of ECW was cruel, this is just hilarious.

The topper will be ROH drawing similar or even more ratings than Impact.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Got to feel sorry for everyone working at TNA though. They have made some dud decisions recently, but they are busting their arse to try and recover. It's not like the end of WCW where everyone just stopped giving a f**k.

 

[Misanthrope]

No reason why this can't be good for TNA. Ring of Honor has a small but loyal audience who might now give TNA more of an opportunity. It's about a year too late given how few RoH alumni TNA now have on the books compared to the glory days.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

TNA just re-signed The Wolves, so that there is two very popular ex-ROH guys. TNA's biggest signing issue now will be Austin Aries.

 

[Manurewa_Marlins]

I've been jamming on EWR recently, with the scenario being that TNA is cancelled by DA and picked up by another network. A few returns, a surprise debut or two, a minimalistic approach to its creative direction...and f**k me if it doesn't reek of NXT haha...you know what...the WWE does TNA better than TNA does TNA.

 

[Big Pete]

That's because the WWE realise it's better to be ROH instead of a lesser version of itself (like TNA).

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

If TNA get's bumped off Destination America, then that's it. No-one will pick up a show after being bumped off two networks within 6 months.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

TNA will no longer be available in Australia after Slammiversary.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Add Gunner to the list of those who have not re-signed with TNA, to the disappointment of no-one.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Interesting.

Spoiler: Latest Impact Spoilers - Former Wrestlers Return

Jeff Jarrett returns with Karen Jarret and puts himself in the King of the Mountain match. Hmmmmm.

Matt Morgan returns, and what the hell.....Vader.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Add Hernandez to that. Which is a surprise since they parted on pretty bad terms.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Low Ki is now gone from TNA.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Also, drunk me just realised we technically have LAX back together in TNA.

Spoiler: Super Uper Dooper TNA Spoilers

The Wolves def. Dirty Heels 3 to 2 in the Best of Five Series to become the TNA World Tag Champs (this was officially Austin Aries last contracted day. I assume he is done with TNA. It will be intresting to see where he turns up, since he is the first ever 2 time champion of ROH - the lead in to TNA Impact. But they also wrestled on the taping later as a tag team, but that means nothing [see BDC])

James Storm and the Revolution now have a female member - Serena Deeb (Serena from CM Punk's Straight Edge Society)

EC3 (w. Tyrus) def Kurt Angle to become the TNA World Champion

Spoiler: Gigantic Super Uper Dooper TNA Spoiler

Everyone needs a backstage spoiler

Because it is what is best for business

And nothing says best for business like...

Spoiler: Let's get all Leo di Caprio on people...

Dirty Heels (Bobby Roode + Austin Aries) wrestling the same night as they lost the Best of 5 series vs the American Wolves - possibly a coincidence since Aries' contract finishes the night of the tapings, and their is no heel move/face move/anyting.

But then...

Spoiler: Do you know who I am?

Bully Ray, whilst not appearing at this taping, is back with TNA full time

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Add a few more to the "no longer with TNA" pile

- James Storm
- Brutus Magnus
- Austin Aries

Word is that TNA wants to work with them on a show by show basis now that they rejected new contracts, unless of course they sign elsewhere. Aries I can see getting snapped up quick by either ROH or Evolve, the other two it will be interesting to see where they end up.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Only one surprise to come out of Slammiversary, with James Storm going over Magnus.
