Impact Support Club House

What does it take to become a prospect for the club?

An appreciation for TNA and a willingness to post about it both here and in the TNA section.

Ride along.

Go make a thread saying AJ Styles only knows 5 moves and endure the replies. Antagonize as much as possible.

I don't think our esteemed mods should go around telling people to do shit that gets them infractions.

"TNA AJ > non-TNA AJ" would also be trolling, but considerably harder to prove trolling beyond reasonable doubt. Or at least, 2013 TNA AJ.
 
Speaking of TNA versus Non-TNA AJ Styles...

AJ Styles says that TNA has contacted him a couple times to try and get him to come back to the company. AJ said that it’s not going to happen right now and his first priority is New Japan Pro Wrestling. He said that New Japan is home for him. He also said that as long as there are ill feelings toward TNA (from New Japan) then he is not going back to TNA anytime soon.

AJ said that his agent Bill Behrens told him that if he would have signed a new TNA deal last year then it would have worked out great for TNA because they didn’t really do many house shows. The final contract that AJ offered to sign was for them to pay him for shows he works while letting him work outside of TNA.

The way I see it, if are reading between the lines, the answer is clear — there is a path by which Styles would return to TNA. He hasn't shut the door completely. He just won't fuck over his current employers (ROH, NJPW) in order to do so. That's admirable, and frankly the right thing to do.

Time to patch that relationship between NJPW and TNA, me thinks.

I still remember his shoot with lines like "I am NOT taking a pay-cut" and "After what I've been through?!", so I think it's more than just loyalty to RoH and NJPW.

Also, what's the ill will between New Japan and TNA, IDR (or any of the clubhouse members)? Is it just the Mike Tenay thing and now there's bad blood?

I'd like to know more about that myself. Especially since ROH and New Japan seem to have a decent relationship this far.
 
NJPW/TNA relationship has been rocky from the start, from what I can remember. Had to do with a weird power struggle from when Muta was still with NJPW, before Wrestle-1 was a thing, where people in NJPW thought TNA was low-rent and wanted to sever ties going all the way back to 2007, if my memory serves.
 
And what do we end with?

Two guys in their 50s that currently work for WWE. Not the new World Champion slaying an unstoppable beast and establishing himself as the future, but two guys who don't work there anymore in a nostalgia match.

Do you people now get why I say this company never learns?
 
I barely remember Tanahashi, but Okada was a running joke. When they made him Okado, or Okato, whatever it was, I knew all hope was lost.
I'm pretty sure they wanted Okada to be booked like he was by TNA. It's always been described as "humbling" to make sure he would be committed to the company. I'd say it worked.
