The offical TNA thread - News, Spoilers and the rest...

Furious-Red

Kurt Angle posted the following on Twitter regarding this week's TNA iMPACT!:

"The "Jarrett" segments on TNA Impact were appalling. It made me look like a dead beat Dad, which I am not (I can assure you). And it made Karen and Jeff look like the perfect American Family. MY kids were calling Jeff "Daddy Jeff".

"NOBODY will ever replace me as the Father of my kids. You want me to look like the bad person? Don't forget who wanted the divorce! I didn't walk away from my family, Karen did. So keep your little "act" going on TV. It's amusing to me, but don't think for a million years that my fans are buying this crap."

has Scott Steiner been on TNA since that brief appearance a few weeks ago? or is he being left out in the cold because of TNA not securing the rest of the MEM?

Storyline. He's not that desperate for work that he'd stick around TNA to be humiliated.

According to SuperLuchas.net, Matt Hardy is reportedly trying to persuade TNA Wrestling officials to hire former WWE Diva Amy "Lita" Dumas so he can work a storyline with her.

During an interview last October, Dumas expressed interest in returning to the squared circle "for fun," albeit not on a full-time basis. She was also broached on the subject of Hardy, to which she snarked, "Oh my god, what happened to that guy?" Dumas added that she feels he has maturity issues, but also acknowledged his professionalism during their 2005 feud.

Is she still dating Punk?

I reckon those Angle Tweets are worked. I wasn't sure at first but they must be. Intriguing storyline.

Yep agree with this. TNA value Angle so much that they wouldn't risk píssing him off to the extent that he'd be so vehemently against the story.

If Angle really didn't want to do this, it wouldn't have happened, the last thing Dixie etc would do is drive one of their biggest names out of the company.

It is a shítty angle and I completely disagree with them doing it but Angle is definitely working his twitter fans.


I think the Fortune swerve was a good move, seeing as WWE cut them off from Nash etc, but what they do from hereon will be so important. Immortal clearly are the biggest story in TNA, but if I'm not mistaken they're outnumbered and outclassed (Gunner/Murphy = jobbers) wrestler-wise now?

Immortal:
Matt Hardy
Jeff Hardy
Jarrett
Terry
Gunnar
Murphy
Abyss

Hernandez

(8 wrestlers)

"Alliance"
Steiner
Angle
Kaz
Styles
Beer Money
Crimson
Morgan
RVD (9 wrestlers)

So at the moment I hope they add legitimate power to Immortal, because it could be great if it's booked right. It was probably the best option for them to book Fortune as "they" given the circumstances.

TNA actually released Nash from his contract so he could go to WWE.

True, but TNA probably didn't have much of a choice. Tie Nash down to a contract and force him to work knowing that he doesn't want to be there, or try and appease him and let him do his thing.

My point still stands that WWE cut them off because if WWE hadn't have come calling he'd probably be back on TNA tv.

Man I feel stupid

For some reason I got in my head that TNA airs every tuesday and I was expecting the new show tonight because they changed the times from midnight to 10pm

So Tna airs every thursday right? So how come there's no impact on challenge that night ?

They feel the need to have it on a five day delay. I suppose Challenge might not have been able to move some Who Wants to be a Millionaire replays or something.;)

its ridiculous tbh. Its going to be Challenges best rating provider but yet waiting that long to watch it stinks of poor judgement

But sky has nothing to do with challenge?
The fact it is shown on the provider is where it begins and ends really.

This whole thing reminds me of when i was watching/reading the rise and fall of ECW and paul said he was begging the networks for a regular slot and they were given like 12 o clock at night on some local access cable show mid week.
