I'm hearing it's a Tv deal
The talks they publicly acknowledged were with itv and bt sport it's nailed on for an announcement an app restriction happened yesterday which now been lifted which coincides with the new faq re impacts im guessing that was some sort of test
I'd guess the app will stay at £4.99 no idea what will happen re ppvs as they do want them live in the uk (or atleast did under Dixie) impacts will be given a 6 month time delay according to the new FAQ
Fingers crossed the teased additions to the app come off with Noah and crash shows supposedly getting added no doubt whatever was taped for GFW will soon be added aswell
So you are crossing your fingers you will get even more content which you won't pay for.... Unbelievable
Â
And don't give me the "I've tried, I cant". You can. You can sign out the app, update and sign up again with a new account if you are that interested in the company

Trent /Tyler work in US with chikara too. They are the tag champions

For those keeping track and who can see the bigger picture, Dunne has pulled out of 3 major UK/European promotions shows that he was booked on, at the last minute, in the last month.
Â
WxW, IPW-UK and PCW.
Â
He knew a month ago, after pulling out of the WxW and IPW-UK shows due to the terms of his WWE contract prohibiting him from wrestling on shows being taped for DVD and/or streaming, that he wasn't going to be able to wrestle on the PCW shows. Because it was EXACTLY the same type of situation. He had to have known, unless he's an idiot. And to be as successful as he's been thus far, he's not an idiot.
Â
Regardless of Fludder's comments, which at this point are at best a massive coincidence that gave Dunne the excuse to pull out and babyface himself in the process, and at worst, provided him with the 'out' he needed. Dunne claiming that WWE didn't pull him from PCW is just using semantics as a get out clause. They didn't 'pull' him; Dunne himself signed a contract with WWE in January that doesn't allow him to wrestle on the shows. Blaming 'insensitive comments' sounds a lot better than 'I finally understand the small print in my WWE contract now'. Especially after HHH publicly talked about the whole WWE UK guys contracts in his conference call last month.
Â
PCW are culpable too. They knew Dunne wasn't going to be able to wrestle on these shows, from late January onwards, as soon as the terms of Dunne's WWE contract came out publicly and Dunne had pulled out of WxW and IPW-UK. They were warned by multiple people. And their continuing silence on the matter since Dunne pulled out earlier this week is out of order, as it's basically become false advertising at this point. Almost a carbon copy of the Matt Riddle/PCW/PWG situation last year.
Â
I understand this is all an inconvenient truth to some and that loads hate Fludder and want to jump on the hate bandwagon, but lets not make Dunne a saint in all of this. He could have handled this much better. Both sides are at fault and it's the fans who are being screwed. Dunne's comments about 'Well I'm still wrestling Pentagon Jr the night before in Portsmouth if fans want to see that match' are laughable. Yeah Pete, it's really feasible for the fans who paid money to see you wrestle at the PRESTON shows to do the 10 hour, 546 mile round trip the night before to PORTSMOUTH, on a weeknight, at short notice. Â Â Â
Â
The list of promotions that WWE allows Dunne to wrestle for in the U.K. is seemingly arbitrary, almost a 'favoured nations' type deal. Dunne is advertised for the Fight Club Pro shows over Easter weekend but I wouldn't be shocked at all if he gets pulled from there too. Maybe WWE won't want him wrestling against 3 top New Japan guys, who knows.
Â
I would imagine Fight Club Pro have a better idea than anyone on here whether Dunne is allowed to appear or not, being as it's Co owned by Trent Seven who has the same contract.. Dunne wasn't pulled from this months FCP show which also had Trent, Tyler and Dan Moloney on the card...
-
Or perhaps it's been weighing on his mind since and felt he had made wrong choice and this was right thing to do.
-
Â
ÂÂ
Maybe he doesnt live his life on facebook and isnt in the bubble all day and all night and only found out all the facts recently?If Dunne felt this strongly about Fludder's comments, why didn't he withdraw 10 days ago?
Â
He tweeted out that he was donating his pay, from show, when this all happened. Of course he knew what was said by Fludder.
Or he had been told no money was going hence saying he will donate but maybe didn't know the actual statement from Fludder as it had been deleted at that point.
Â
Maybe he has seen a screen shot since?
-
Ah blimey, gotta be making one ASAP then! I notice they have regular dates at that venue about once a month, so I should be able to get sorted if I'm quick
Worth pointing out there are still some standing tickets for Brum available on the venue site at time of typing this.. How many I don't know but it reserved me 2 when I just tested it...
-
If you are such a fan and want to fix the issue then simply install the new version and sign up properly.In my defence here I have not tried to scam them at all I've made several attempts to try and fix the issue without any success
Â
Obviously haven't tried very hard or are happy to rip off your "favourite" promotion.

erm i can 100% assure you that your wrong the numbers inside DO NOT represent a specific title it gives you the order in which you can pick a title shot with each title only alowed to be chosen once try watching the show before you make such commentsÂ
Not quite the same concept no nobody gets fired with this one and instead of having the title shot you've won in the case there's a number 1-4 number 1 gets first pick on which title he wants a shot at each title can only be picked once
wrong each suitcase correlates with a title shot.
so much for been a superfan you need a new gimmick chico
Yeah pretty confident wrestleuk is right on this one. It's for the the order you get to call champions out on open fight night isn't it? With each champ getting called once.
It's still a bit stupid because the order is randomised so if you get the case you might come 4th, but it's much, much better than feast or fired.
Not really, with feast and fired they were opened later iirc. With shows prerecorded that's plenty of chance to make sure the right number is in the right case...

You claim to love the promotion but happily pay money to a questionable legal website/kodi addon rather than pay TNA £5 a month? Some fan....
Â
Sportsmania it's one of the sports hd channelsÂ
Yup fight did indeed air last weeks thankfully however sportsmania uploaded the pop feed to there VOD section this morning so I've been able to watch it
And just for the record I have app to have a look at it but haven't subscribed as yet as there's no real reason to ATM with me having the fight channel anyway I may however subscribe if the content keeps increasing it's looking pretty good so far
Â
How are you able to watch the Fight Network at the moment?
-
they have confirmed the entire back catalogue will be added
The press release does not state the entire back catalogue.

Â
Are both PCW and South side owned by same guy?
No.
Someone has copied someone's statement then

Are both PCW and South side owned by same guy?
Â
Just seems strange that this paragraph is vurtually word for word (replacing I for We) in both statements...
Â
Considering TNA was publicly vocal about not being happy when AJ Styles pulled out of an agreed deal with them, it does seem double standards to us that the company would ask talent to back out of a deal that has been in place for many months especially after pulling him from us last October. We have lost out financially having paid for an extensive promotional campaign with EC3 clearly front and centre promoting his appearance but most of all I feel for fans who have used their hard earned money and booked travel to see/meet EC3. We have gone above and beyond to try source a replacement in tough times for those fans but it is a shame that when asked for assistance TNA told us ''nothing can be done''."

Going by what seems to have been taped already id suggest the finals are yet to be taped TNA are running a big arena in New Orleans later this month which is currently listed as a Ono Ppv event I wouldn't put it past them to turn that into a impact taping or at least film more tournament stuff http://www.impactwrestling.com/EVENTS/item/6595-Oct-30-New-Orleans,-LA-(Hardcore-Halloween-Tour)I'm not sure if it's a positive or negative one, but it's certainly quite an achievement to tape most or all of a 63-match world title tournament without anyone noticing.
PWInsider reporting tour is now cancelled for "logistical reasons" with talent receiving partial payment.

"Statement from TNA Regarding IMPACT WRESTLING
ÂIt has come to our attention that several internet news sources have falsely attributed statements to TNA, its executives and broadcasting partner. These false statements constitute defamation and if necessary we will seek all legal remedies available to us." -
Saw a live show is labelled as an international TV Taping? is this a special or for other TV shows im not aware of shown around the world etc?
This show is now showing as Impact taping on newz sites so anybodys guess really. Maybe they are trying to big the show up by saying international on the basis that Impact is shown internationally...
Â
9/5 in Charlottesville, Virginia will be be One Night Only: Turning Point. Advertised is Jeff Hardy vs. MVP, James Storm vs. Bobby Roode, Gail Kim vs. Madison Rayne and more.
Â
9/6 in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina will be One Night Only: Rivals. Advertised is Jeff Hardy vs. MVP, Mr. Anderson vs. James Storm, Gail Kim vs. Taryn Terrell and more.
Â
9/7 in Fayetteville, North Carolina will be an Impact Wrestling taping for Spike TV. Advertised for the show is North Carolina's own Jeff and Matt Hardy.

That wasn't Maxine. Maxine was Hispanic. The girl Knux was with looked like she pops in Tantastic a few times a week and whores it up especially for Big Mike when he pops round to fix the fruit machines. I dont get why they made her look so trashy? Knux made it sound like he was revisiting a childhood sweetheart last week. First thing I thought when I saw her was "she's shagging everyone who asks for a go on the dodgems".
Â
I'm still into the Knux thing because I like him, but I have no idea what's going on. Its completely insane. Its like you switch Impact on and suddenly Mike Knox is the son of a Gypsy.
Â
There you go, then. I am overdue for an eye test, anyway
Â
I'm curious to see where all this goes. But then I remember who we're dealing with here and get slightly nervous. And if you believe what you read, then our tanned friend (whoever she is) will follow Knux back to TNA.
Â
For what its worth, am seeing the name Mercedes aka Justine Silver mentioned around. She is a florida based wrestler/hooters girl who was photographed at Lockdown....

I got Sky last week so was able to watch Impact without using YouTube over the weekend. First time in months I have actually watched a full show and I was pleasantly surprised.
Â
It's on freeview anyway
Â
Not for all of the country. Roughly 10% (those served by relay transmitters) only get what is known as Freeview Lite / Freeview Basic

Those poor sods (including myself despite living in a largeish town in West Midlands) only get

How does shit like that make print?
Â
His facial expression looks like he has banged his toe on the corner of the bed...

They had a watermark saying 'Direct from Glasgow' and the EPG didn't bill it as live
Â
No but the Challenge site and press releases did
Â

So was there 2 episodes last night in Glasgow ? Did they do the 2nd one before the live one ?
Â
Although it was promoted as live - it must have been on tape delay as results were on net before Challenge showed it

With Hogan and Bischoff now gone and Jarrett back into power, could it be Scotty Steiner? I think that may be the only option that would make me happier than if it is Jarrett, and I'd be pretty damn happy if it's Jarrett.
Â
To continue to the storyline, surely it's JJ.
Â
Dixie seemed a little too enthusiastic about this guy returning, make sense for him to come back and side with AJ.
Â
knowing TNA, it honestly wouldnt surprise me if its AJ. The way she stressed former. With it adding to the 'delusional' character she seems to have at the moment, getting all excited about he 'wants to return' thinking he is ready to jump on "team dixie" or whatever stupid thing she is calling it...

shame its more likely to hurt them by making them look even smaller time than it will help...
-
looking at his timeline i believe its done by a fansite and he is putting 100+ of them up himself to try and promote the show (without tna approval etc)
Â
You'll probably find that its not TNA who have made that, or are even aware what the poster is like. They've probably sold the show to a local who pays for the event, TNA just supply the ring, wrestlers, lighting, and book the show, it is the local mugs job to buy the promotional material and do all advertising in the hope it turns a profit which he gets to keep. They do this for house shows and with some of the decisions TNA have made recently I wouldn't be shocked if they'd started doing it with TV tapings for a higher price but it could backfire if the local can't be arsed or does a shitty job and TNA end up airing a show recorded in front of 20 people.Â
There's no way thats professionally made though, at least I hope not.
Thing is...this poster is for their Thursday Night IMPACT TV Tapings, not a live event.
-
please please PLEASE tell me thats a fake photoshopped poster as quite frankly ive seen more professional and better laid out posters for the local working mens club
Â
If thats real they deserve to get hardly any paid audience at the show
Â
Steve
Â
Somebody posted on Twitter that he's seen loads of these posters around Salt Lake City. You think they'd actually put effort into their advertising.Â

This tripe is cos you keep saying how you have actively tried to pay but there isn't a way to do so . There is. Sign up again. Your "I've given them enough in the past" is up there with PCWs "we earned the right to do our own thing".
