Bobby Roode is in San Antonio, TX. He and TNA have worked out the contract issues and he will be working tonight's PPV. We have been told his contact expiring was Bruce Prichard's fault, but the situation has been rectified.

If this true Pritchard should be fired and/or Roode should fire his agent and be tremendously embarassed for himself. If it is his responsibility to make sure every TNA contract is in order and he's too busy picking out fat guy blazers than Pritchard is an incompetent ass.

I still think it's more likely this is all BS or a work.

Breathing a big sigh of relief after having read the issues were resolved. Roode is/was too important to the TNA landscape to risk losing over something this fucking stupid. I'm not going to get into whether or not Pritchard should be fired over it, because we know so little about the situation, but every TNA fan should be ecstatic that he's likely here to stay.

Is there any reason to think this is true? Other than it was written on a dirtsheet? We have Bobby himself, in his own words, saying that he signed a five year deal four years ago. And to the yahoo that brought up possible option years - yeah, he'd have to tell them he was opting out well before the contract actually expired, not after it expired, so we can safely rule out that possibility.

One of two things happened here:

1.TNA wants us to think his contract has expired when it hasn't. They're trying to swerve the IWC again. Obviously, they've done this before, so it's certainly not out of the question.

2.A dirtsheet made something up. Again. It's pretty well known that dirtsheets aren't the most credible place to get information, and there's a reason for that. They're not always honest.

Which one is it? Look, if TNA was trying to swerve the IWC, this wouldn't have been the first we heard about it. How long has he been off of TV? They would've started "leaking" this out long before they took him off TV, not after they took him off TV. Unless, of course, this was a last minute thing they decided to put out there in hopes of boosting interest in the PPV. But that almost seems too smart for TNA. And, either way, it would've been leaked to more than one dirtsheet - WrestleZone says their sources can't confirm his contract expired.

So we can rule out the possibility that his contract actually expired, and we can rule out the possibility that TNA leaked this on purpose. That leaves us with one viable option: it's another made up dirtsheet rumor.

Would he have to tell you? I must have missed the part in contract negotiation where it's obligatory to announce to the public what your intent with a contract is.

Or are you dumb enough to believe the public position of "oh, jeez, we forgot about performer contracts"?

It seems I put a bit of a scare into you with the idea that Bobby Roode might take off if the money was right.
