Yeah but they already have like eight podcasts and had just hired some team that was a huge deal for them.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

They don't have to "hire" anyone.

You should be able to mention you are involved in that, as just another thing to add into your little resume at the bottom of the review.







To think they have all of that quanity BUT NOT THE BEST ONE OUT THERE BABY

 

[klunderbunker]

If I can find out how to edit that I will. And I've asked about trying to get it on the site eventually.

Meltzer spoke about all this on this mornings WO radio cast.

Main points are:
- This invasion angle is TNA's idea
- Wrestle-1 was originally slated to do it but things didn't work out between them
- AAA didn't want to do it most likely because Konnan still has bad blood with TNA
- CMLL didn't want to do it but TNA were on the fence about that because nobody would know any of the CMLL guys
- ROH didn't want to do it as they saw no benefit and believe they're now above TNA
- GFW was the last option and Jarrett was open to doing it because its a way for him to promote GFW considering he has no TV deal and as of now no TV deal is imminent, it was also a way on TNA's side to reconcile with Jarrett and do some other business with him

Well that sucks. Because if GFW had said no, that means the next option would've had to be WWL. Meaning I could've had a chance at working with TNA somewhat.

Well, I'm still working on even getting on WWL but still. It would've been a funny invasion what with one 3 or 4 guys speaking english

I would have thought the next option would have been WWN personally, although if the rumors of them now secretly working with WWE are true I guess not. If they were really hell bent on it CHIKARA also has a roster of guys who mostly only work for CHIKARA, granted there is nothing threatening of a bunch of guys in costumes so then again, I guess not. I would say PWG but half their roster is contracted elsewhere. Dragon Gate in Japan would have been another option but they would have to explain who everyone is.

 

[ABMorales787]

CHIKARA deserves more income and exposure.

He signed with them. It's on the main site.

I don't know how tight the bond is these days, but Dragon Gate is connected with WWN.

Who exactly is there left singles wise to defend TNA from a GFW invasion?

Jeff Hardy and his broken leg, EC3 and Bram I think

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Sooooo with the Booby Roode signing....


Jarrett has already bought TNA, right? Like are we going to begin accepting this now, or?

 

[The Dragon Saga]

I don't think it is. Didn't Gabe not tear into Dragon Gate for always pulling all their Japanese talent from the DGUSA shows?

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Roode is hands down the best homegrown talent they've ever had. I wonder how his contract works.

 

[Alex]

That they used correctly. They could have done so much more with James Storm and Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley (if they count)

 

[Thriller Ant]

I honestly have no idea; I haven't followed WWN stuff closely for a while. I just assumed he would've rebranded everything as Evolve if the relationship was totally gone.

 

[ABMorales787]

Dragon Gate is still a thing?

Also, screwing with James Storm's push in 2012 was probably the biggest shot in the foot TNA ever gave itself talent wise.

 

[FlexAmerican Dynamite]

Naw I still say Aries was the best all around performer in the company that year.

Unlike Storm, he could've waited and it would have not damaged him one bit. He couldve easily feuded with main eventers besides Bully Ray, win the TV title and actually do something with, etc.

Storm was doing music videos, appearances and such. It was so obvious he'd been a big face for TNA.

That I can't disagree with, don't know what the hell they were thinking.

As a huge Sabin mark, I have to say he hit his pinnacle with the MCMG. He had a good run as the top heel in the X Division, and won a bunch of belts, but he was never going to be a main eventer.

Alex Shelley is the same story. He started at nothing, and worked his way up to MCMG. Another guy that did great, but was never going to be a main eventer.

 

[It's Damn Real!]

Who exactly is there left singles wise to defend TNA from a GFW invasion?

If we're talking faces only:

Galloway, both Hardys, Kurt Angle (expected to miss three weeks), Melendez (ugh), Lashley, Anderson, Eli Drake and Micah.

There's still enough there to make it work.

Oh, and if we also account for spoilers...

Shelley had more upside than Sabin IMO. Better look. Better charisma. But they both seemed a little stuck. Would have taken years and years to get them to break out.

I mean, if Eric Young did it, Shelley could have.

Also Shelley had two working knees.

Add Davey and Eddie to that list as well.
