Guys it's hardly 300 fans there. It fits 2,800. It's mostly full, I'd gage between 2200-2400.

Last Nights One Night Only PPV Taping. I like the 'low production' look of it. Their TV should had been shot in venues this size.

Dont forget the merch too. $5000 seems a tad much!!?

Official TNA press release on Magnus winning the TNA title, including a quote from the UKFF's own John Lister:

 

Magnus ends Britain's 108 year wait for a wrestling World Champion

 

 

What??? Doesn't Nigel McGuinness as ROH world champion not count ?

ROH is not a major american wrestling organisation. Technically Magnus will be the first, but in my eyes the very first will be whoever wins the World/WWE title.

The best thing was Zema Ion. I love that siren, It's fresh too. More siren!

Aces and Eights Funeral:

It's almost identical to the Team 3D funeral, not as funny but still a good effort. I particularly enjoyed Joe avoiding giving Angle any beer.

Ladiest and Gentlemen!

Didn't someone get thrown out during the ryback match .. Couldn't make out what went on.

 

Nope, a lad dressed as Goldust and another lad dressed as Kane (who pulled off the angry Kane walk perfectly) decided to have their own match at the back of the floor seats, which (sadly) ended up being more entertaining than Ryback vs. R-Truth.

 

Whats the chances of the 'Goldust' being a bit of a homo?

"Jake "The Snake" Roberts, who moved out of Diamond Dallas Page's Accountability Crib and is now living with his lawyer, told BlankManINC.com that he wants to use crowd-funding site Indiegogo so fans can help him purchase TNA.

He was asked about TNA going up for sale. Here's his response:

"God, it needs to. I mean, I watched for 10, 12, 15 years, however long it's been out there and they suck. I guarantee you if I get the opportunity, in a matter of six months I'll be pissing Vince McMahon off. My numbers will beat his, I guarantee you that."

Jake, who says he hasn't heard from WWE in regards to a Royal Rumble return, says he would rather own TNA so he can change the world and get wrestling back to what it should be - wrestling, not sports entertainment."

PCW should do a attitude era weekend.

Bring back Holly and D'lo. Book if possible guys like Steve Blackman, Funaki, Big Vis, Gangrel etc

Be fucking magical.

New IMPACT layout or even worse sales?

Bob Holly vs. D'Lo Brown has been added to the daytime show.

Thats amazing!

Should be a hardcore match.

Shoot me for saying this, and sure it seems derivative, but this doesn't look terrible...

Chris Jericho's new show - "But I'm Chris Jericho"

What the fuck was that?

Check out next months Impact tapings. The seats available are in blue.

Thats a house show?

Regardless... Thats pretty poor!

Mason Ryan vs. Martin Stone? Fuck...

I hope Hogan turns up at Wrestlemania too. Match or not, Wrestlemania XXX needs Hulk Hogan, I hope he does return to TNA in some form soon enough. Although he's not been a major game changer there, he does add to the brand for me. I believe Thursday's IMPACT tapings were the first set of TV events not advertising or featuring Hogan and well... the attendance was almost embarrassing. I've only ever travelled to see TNA for Hogan.

Yeah, that's true. I was looking at it and wondering how anyone can have Kaz and Daniels on the pre-show, but there was heavy hints that Storm and Gunner were wrestling Hernandez and Chavo at Bound For Glory. I really dont want to watch those 4. They are so uninteresting at the minute.

 

I find Hernandez and Chavo uninteresting full stop.

TNA will use the theory that more people will watch the pre-show than the actuall PPV, offically anyway!

I'm struggling to think what they have lined up for this PPV, or even who is Angle going to face?

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.

 

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.

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.

Rampage and Tito are off TV. I don't really follow the show. What's been going on with them? Has Bellator pulled out of the deal or something?

They are fighting each other on PPV in a few weeks. Taken off TV for the fight essentially.

This is fun:

ProWrestlinSyndicate ‏@ProWreSyndicate

So proud to officially announce that @codyrhodeswwe will be exclusively joining the PWS roster as soon as his 90 (day) no compete clause expires!

 

Cody Rhodes/Runnels ‏@CodyRhodesWWE

.@ProWreSyndicate Such a "Dark Horse" organization right now. An abundance of TALENT. Plus @buckneverstops wrestled me in my 1st ever match.

 

WWE's authorized an indy date for him to make this look legit. This Cody Rhodes firing angle must be long term then. Good for PWS as well. They are a good indy. Shame Dusty didn't have his old independent promotion. He could have used Cody and Dustin on it.

I can confirm from attending a live event. The "unknown" talent used on the PWS shows are far from "good", amazing for car crash value though.
