Did Cookie quit or was she fired for a specific reason?

Apparently they just didn't renew her contract.

I cant remember exactly what happened, but I think he found it when Jeff Hardy introduced his own title. He's had it ever since.

Trish Stratus and Angelina Love teased a confrontation at this weekend’s Fan Expo Canada in Toronto, Ontario as both former champions will be on hand for the annual pop culture event.
Stratus wrote on Twitter, “Can’t wait for Fan Expo Canada Sun! I hear Angelina Love is gonna be there, I also hear she wants to fight me #torontothrowdown #canuckcuddle.”
The TNA Knockout responded, “I’m there on Saturday so maybe we can throwdown then and cuddle on Sunday!”
Love revealed last week on Twitter that her dream opponent is the seven-time WWE Women’s Champion.

Promoting his "Back from the Brink" speaking engagement held Friday in Greensboro, N.C., Hulk Hogan made some off-the-wall comments about TNA in an interview with the News & Record newspaper. Hogan claimed TNA "offers an alternative to the over-the-top theatrics" seen in WWE and claimed TNA is not focused on "skits and entertainment and backstage antics."

Hogan said, “We’ve got a lot of young guys who are pushing hard. And we’re trying to take our own course of destiny and make wrestling matter again. We’re not really focused on skits and entertainment and backstage antics. We’re more focused on keeping the action as much as we can in the ring.”

Off the wall more like Senile Dementia. I bet he still considers himself one of the young guys pushing hard.

This Monday, Sept 5, NBC will air a "Children Of 9/11" special, featuring children who lost their parents 10 years ago. TNA Wrestling has announced that this special will include Rosita, who lost her father on 9/11 when she was 10 years old

I'm extremely sorry to hear about her father, but wow didn't know Rosita is only 20.

This was on UK Channel 5 last night, you can watch it here (if you know how

)

Edit: Just skimmed through the Channel 5 version, Rosita doesn't seem to be in it so it must be a different documentary.

I love TNA's stage on the road.

just a quick update on viewing figures, they only got 180,000 with their first Sunday airing on September 4th.
that's their lowest in about four months

It's interesting compared to last week which broke 400,000 over the two showing that the other showing didn't even register this week.

I may be way off here, but after glancing at the listings pages, the massive 403,000 figure although technically listed in the same week's ratings, i believe is actually for two originally broadcasted episodes due to the broadcast day change - 23rd and 28th August both fell into this same week but were both original broadcasted episodes, hence the high viewing figure.

In other words, the 23rd August episode was never repeated, just a new episode shown in the same week.

Week ending 28th august -
tuesday 23rd august - first showing
Sunday 28th august - first showing

Total 403,000 (2 original episodes)

Week ending 4th september -
tuesday 30th august - repeat (which this week didnt break into the top 10 this week but could have still had a viewing as high as 118,000)
sunday 4th september - first showing

Total as high as 298,000 (1 original, 1 repeat)

The first Sunday airing the week prior did 194,000 so it's only a drop of 14,000.

If the repeat broadcast on september 6th scores between 100,000 - 130,000, then it won't seem so bad.

I find it sad when I see flair in the ring now, he should have walked away but he needs the money from his divorces and blowing his money. Again its just my opinion but he just should not wrestle any more he is past it by a decade at this stage.

rovert · 16-09-2011 2:08pm

I liked the Jay Lethal/Flair match but this I couldnt take. There was just a patheticness about him now which superceeds Ric being the Nature Boy.

Machismo Fan · 16-09-2011 8:24pm

I don't get people saying it's sad (obviously besides Flair's financial circumstances (and being honest there's a good chance Flair would still be wrestling anyway even if he didn't have financial difficulties)). If any other two wrestlers had the same match Sting and Flair had on iMPACT! it would be considered an entertaining main event to further the story, but because it's Flair and Sting it suddenly becomes sad. I for one thought the match was damn enjoyable (and even in 2011 they could probably still do better).

Besides the above.

His legs shaking while taking the superplex spot on his injured shoulder at age 62.

Not being able to do the Flair flop fully anymore instead landing on his knee first.

For a guy with amazing cardio and longetivity to be breathing detressingly hard.

Moving slow without the charisma and joy on his face. The definition of going through the motions there.

etc etc etc
