Where is that shite news piece from? Calling someone a "faggot" is completely unacceptable. Fuck all this "in 1995 this wouldn't have mattered" bollocks. Wrestling is supposed to be a good night out. The idea that wrestlers aren't allowed to call people a "faggot" is evidence of how you can't define what a heels role is is fucking idiocy.

Sorry, it was PWInsider.com.

Dixie Carter and Bully Ray both issued apologies via Twitter yesterday as apparently Ray was a little too "Bubba Ray Dudley" with fans off the air at the Impact taping in Chicago. Cell phone footage of him really demoralizing one fan in a lewd, disgusting way popped up online shortly after, which is why the apology was issued. Ignoring the fact that the language never should have been used, it does bring to light that heel heat in 2013 is a hard line to define. On one hand, TNA really needs a truly hated heel to try and draw them money. But in the heat of the moment, a performer out to get that heat never knows when he's gone too far until after he's over the line and the fallout hits. In such a politically charged world, it turns into a scandal within seconds when it was never meant to be anything but a piece of sh** character acting like he should, like a piece of sh**. But, that's the balance pro wrestling has to deal with in 2013, where wrestling fans complain there are no real villains anymore and when someone acts like a villain with no redeeming qualities, it's called into question. I understand why but I also understand what Ray was trying to do, which was generate legitimate heat in a way that no one does in 2013.

2013 sucks.

Finally, TNA does the right thing. They should hire him, and he should twat everyone.

Damn right, what great news. Bob Holly destroying gut check competitors is quality TV!

So yeah, this guy's wrestling at tonight's World Cup of Wrestling TNA PPV.

 

I just marked out.

Which episode is on Challenge tonight? Is it the post Lockdown one?

Yes, first episode from Chicago.

Big crowd from Chicago.

In relation to the Aces and Eights "hacking". WWE just added a Dudley Boys Alumni page and is posting it all over social media.

Exciting meetings today in Chicago!

New rules coming to X-Division matches starting on 3/21 on Impact LIVE.

Interesting, I can see it just being a weight limit though. Any ideas?

It would had been nice if they had invested in a new 'impact' style set to begin the new era of on the road tapings.

There'd better not be any PPV spoilers in the last few posts lads.

Well technically, the link I posted revealed nothing. However, I thought spoilers were allowed in here?

How good does that look? Pumped for Thursday!

Off topic but how good is this match? never seen it before.

Late last year there the 'TNA' salaries were floating about. Obviously being a private company, you can't use this as facts.

Hulk Hogan: $35,000 per appearance

AJ Styles: $390,500 downside/receives a merchandise bonus

For anyone interested Jonny Storm is on this weeks art of wrestling and talks about how Shane and Scarlo tried to stop him and Jody Fleisch going to America for there tour in 2002 for Czw Roh etc, threatening to stop them at the airport and spreading rumours they were flying themselves out there.

 

Yeah he recorded it at Southside's Opportunity Knocks

Nice one.

Enough! @ImpactWrestling you came to my house uninvited. I am coming to Chicago... uninvited!

I can totally see Styles turning up at Lockdown. I guess it may be more clear after tonight.

With the 'money price' discussion. I think TNA are just trying to be different. Every indie company seems to rip of the Money In The Bank concept now, they don't even hide it.

I think it's a great opportunity to give some guys spots on PPV and Television. TNA have always given really great house shows, this is kind of that but with a twist of a theme and some returning and new faces.

The sad thing is the very first PPV lands on the same day that literally every promotion in the world including TNA are running shows in New York/ New Jersey area for Wrestlemania weekend. TNA charge $34.99 for their PPVs (just over

I'm totally in love with these 'One Night Only' shows. The potential line-ups and the fact there will be no story-line involvement means, everyone can just go out there and give us a great match.

Just look at the X-Division show it looks great!

They could had built it for two weeks and had King win at Lockdown. I'm not King's biggest fan either, I personally think RVD has been doing some the best matches from his TNA career recently. Or maybe, there just not so dull anymore.

I echo all the Robbie E love, he's brought the best out of Robbie T as well which is always a good thing. I'm not sure if I'd like to see Robbie E vs. Robbie T for Lockdown, I want too but I fear it may be rotten.

I had to laugh at the AJ Styles video. His bike reminded me of Batman, anybody else seeing him as a surprise return for Lockdown?

What's Tyler Reks doing at the moment?

He runs his own business, forget what it actually was. He talks all about it on the AOW podcast. He's apparently done with wrestling.

In this modern age, where clean lifestyles and professionalism are very important. Why on earth do you risk the biggest match and push of your career for some green and road rage?

I don't get it, I hope it does cost him $1,000,000.

Give us MARK HENRY vs. Alberto Del Rio. THAT'S WHAT I DO!!!!

The Harlem Shake craze hits TNA:

Just wow! hahahaha

It it possible that with a smaller set that they've been using at Mania lately that XXX could break the 100,000 barrier? I was really hoping that this would be the deal, that would be really cool. It can hold 76,468 for American Football.

Nice logo, different to the others. Which I like. I wanted to do XXX but New Orleans doesn't interest me.

Man, Vince looks younger, healthier and more surprisingly in better shape. How embarrassing.
