Impact wrestling thread - It's a Don West tribute thread now!

[Glen Quagmire]

That statement from AJ has a slight hint of a worked shoot for me. Just something about.

 

If it's all true though then with the spare time he has, he can make some money from personal appearances in gay nightclubs.

Regarding Jeff Hardy ... you know you're shit on the microphone when Dixie Carter is more entertaining than you and you need to scream your own name repeatedly to get the crowd to chant it

[IANdrewDiceClay]

I very much doubt there were more people entertained by Dixie Carter than Jeff Hardy. There was one person in the crowd wearing his shirt at least. That means he's made at least 15 quid more profit than the Carters have from TNA.

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

I wonder what Julian Radbourne thinks?

 

Must say, really like the way TNA is pushing Magnus for the UK tour. They are doing a documentary on Challenge about him and shit like that. That's the kind of stuff I really like. I dont know if its possible due to the massive gap in name value between the two, but without Hogan there, it would be a nice touch to see if Magnus could get on This Morning and Radio 1 and stuff like that.

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.

Gary Steele won the NWA World Champ belt he beat Ogawa i think

If you're counting ROH as having a legitimate world champion, you might as well count whoever the first PTW world champion was as well.

If it doesn't happen on telly it doesn't happen.

It looks like Davey Richards and Eddie Edwards are TNA bound. I think it is clear based on Davey's comments at PWG a few days ago, PWG having a farewell for them and seeing how Meltzer has been cryptic when making mention of their farewell.

[IANdrewDiceClay]

He wasn't being cyptic. He was referencing when Richards said "we are going to Orlando. I didn't say where" on a show recently, so he's obviously playing off like he has the choice of TNA and WWE. Worth noting Richards and Edwards are on NXT this week, which seems convenient, since the show aired around the time they were finishing their dates up. TNA have been after them for months, though. So if WWE hasn't offered them a deal (which wouldn't be to surprising), they might be on their way to TNA. You'd think if TNA's deal was anything worth accepting they wouldn't have been doing the WWE Job Club for a few weeks to see if they are as good as ROHWorld forum says they are.

With all due respect to Gary Steele, I certainly wouldn't count that as a World championship reign. NWA was dead in the water and Dan Severn had held the belt for a million years not long before. I wouldn't count RoH as a world title, either. Any promotion can have a belt and chuck 'world' at the beginning.

[KingOfMetal]

Dead in the water and he only held it for a week. Not knocking Gary Steele (I'm not familiar with his work) but winning the NWA World Title at that time was about as big as winning a raffle at a scouts fundraiser

[AshC]

Great quote in that press release, but there's more chance of The Shockmaster pinning John Cena at WrestleMania with the Fingerpoke of Doom than England winning the World Cup!
