Dave Mastiff vs. Samoa Joe

Rampage Brown vs. Bram

Mark Andrews vs. DJ Z

Noam Dar vs. Austin Aries

Grado vs. Ethan Carter III

Kay Lee Ray vs. Gail Kim

 

 

So, there's your final six. One of them is winning the contract.

My vote’s on…

 

 

either Dave Mastiff or Rampage Brown.

 

[Refused]

I hope Brown wins, he actually looks like a wrestler and he's sexy too.

Vince Russo publicly stated that "SpikeTV is a horrible partner." Here's Spike's Senior Vice President of Communications polite "fuck you" in response:

 

I want to start by saying we enjoyed a great relationship, a very collaborative relationship with Dixie Carter and her team over the years. We took TNA from a late night spot on Saturday nights, doing 500,000 viewers, to a two-hour time slot that did two million viewers over time. Spike went out of its way, not in just adhering to its contract, but above and beyond the contract. We paid Hulk Hogan, we paid Eric Bischoff, with our money. We financed many shows. We financed U.K. shows. We helped promote. We gave TNA a prime time slot of Thursdays from 9-11 p.m. I think his comments are way off base. Clearly, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's somebody who thinks more of himself than really exists. Vince Russo never meant anything to Spike TV. He had nothing to do with negotiations. Nobody cares about Vince Russo at Spike TV. Nobody cares or knows who he is. We have a great relationship with TNA. We went above and beyond for them, as they did for us. Dixie helped promote our shows. What Vince Russo is saying is complete nonsense."

I don't know how true it is as I read it on another forum but

 

 

Rampage Brown has already quit TNA Bootcamp I guess he may feel if TNA is dying he may as well stay where he is and either way he'll likely get paid more over here

There is a lot of past tense in there about the relationship isn't there.

Where’s Vince Russo’s original comments?

A new debut at this weeks tapings:

 

Apparently Brodus Clay is now part of TNA.

 

 

[WyattSheepMask]

So let me guess, he's going to be someone's bodyguard

From looking at that picture there is no guess work really needed.

[Slapnut]

Christ, who's next?

 

I wonder if he'll be a regular from now on or an Ezekiel Jackson/Snitsky type deal where he'll be gone by the next set of results.  Either way, it's clear TNA are just planning on going out in a blaze of mentalness, and I eagerly await the arrivals of Jinder Mahal, Curt Hawkins and JTG in high profile spots.

 

He's always been a useless sack of shit mind, and looks like he wrestles in a baby grow.

On second viewing I've only just realised who the guy in the suit is (thought it was just an exec of some kind) and that someone has been laid out behind them (and I still can't really tell who that is)

Looks like spud to me

I thought it was ECIII?
