TNA Wrestling Megathread

Joe Hendry adapting AJ Styles' old theme this week

He's too good not to have a job but not sure he's AEW/WWE good tbh. Njpw strong and mlw might be his ceiling, unless AEW want to reunite the North.

Ethan Page what a waste believe his in roh now.

Reads like Josh had no option when his contract was up, TNA extened his contract due to a clause.

Fun show tonight delighted for Ali.

On a side note it’s being reported that Scott offered $10m for TNA as well as taking over the entire debt of the company. The offer was turned down flat and no counter was offered.

Scott valued the company between $7m to $12m.

Without Anthem though TNA would have no TV since Anthem own the channel TNA airs on.

The way Matt Hardy and Mike Santana were talking I was expecting them both to join WWE so a bit surprised both are now here at TNA.
TNA really has cooled off really badly since the changed back to the TNA name after that first red hot PPV back as TNA.

For its first PPV back under the TNA name Hard to Kill they had a record 66k buys for the PPV.
Last weekends Rebellion they had just 500 buys
TNA really has crashed and burned since they fired Scott D’Amore.

Dave "Plans change" Meltzer?

If they do work more together, I hope everyone can be professional since there are ones in TNA that didn't exactly leave WWE under good terms.

A TNA wrestler fighting Drew you say?

Who is actually running TNA these days since Scott was fired and a lot of the creative team have either quit or been fired as well.

One thing I found strange about their appearance on NXT was that the Rascalz didn't interact with Dempsey considering it was assumed if they were gonna be on NXT, that would be the reason. So unless we see interaction next week it'll be strange, especially since all 3 members of NQCC are involved now.

Does seem to be kind of one-sided so far with NXT getting some of TNA's bigger names like Hendry and Grace while TNA gets Izzi Dame. Nothing against Izzi, but I wouldn't class her as top talent.

While it would be good for anyone they sign in a financial sense, you've gotta think TNA wouldn't be too happy with them taking their talent. Though I guess if they got the condition of appearances then they benefit for cheaper. So if WWE sign Jordynne but agree to let her keep appearing on TNA on WWE's dime that saves TNA paying her wages.

As for exposure, since TNA is recorded it would make sense to have a couple of bigger names. Like I'm sure more people would tune in if they heard Trick Williams showed up than if Dante Chen showed up.

But the fact Hendry is so over implies plenty of people know him and believe.

It's this weekend an nothing was teased on NXT, so unless Impact sets something up, it's unlikely. At most we'll get the NQCC.

I watched this week's NXT and was only half listening to commentary but I don't think they mentioned Slammiversary.

Did they get any WWE guys?

TNA seem to getting short changed out of their relationship

Apart from the fact the final 2 were Kaz and Ziggler, I didn't mind what happened with Hendry. I said before that I didn't understand how Alexander went from being the longest(?) TNA champion, having well reviewed matches to taking the pin in tag matches to guys he would've beaten no problem before. So using the opportunity to turn heel by attacking the most over guy in the company was a good call. Especially, as you said, Hendry may be on his way out soon so why give him the title.

I assume that's what you mean by "read the room"?

Was trying to think of PCO's match. Could we have Abyss return?

A vert solid show with the Ultimate X match being as good as expected and the Ironman being a little disappointing for me.

JBL now appearing at AAA, GCW & TNA in the space of a forthnight.

Asked for and was granted her release.

Are the first cracks in the relationship with WWE starting to appear now.

The WWE filing a trademark opposition against TNA over the use of the name Santino Marella.
