You mean, just like Mercedes Moné was at the Impact tapings when Trinity debuted and nothing came out of it? I don't see Punk going to TNA in any stretch of the imagination. Even though his buddy Ace Steel is a producer now there.

Because, according to what PWInsider reported, international partners were already referring to Impact as TNA. So it looks like TNA is much more marketable than Impact. Personally, it's a move that I like for the growth of the brand. There still are a lot of people being very fond of the TNA brand.

Those Corny promos never cease to pop me. "Though I suppose he was too busy calling Papa John for the 6th time"

That's the thing I want to explore with Arn; he might not be in the best of terms with Ric Flair right now but loyalty is everything to him. Historically, he's the one Horseman that has been by Flair's side, no matter what. So whenever that subject is brought up, it's a sensitive one for Double A. The next couple of weeks are gonna be turbulent for the champ, all the way to the end of the year.

NWA POWER SEPTEMBER 21st, 1996 MILWAUKEE, WI [The camera pans to a locker room, where Arn Anderson is sitting on a bench, taping his wrists. He looks up and sees Barry Windham walking in, wearing a cowboy hat and a leather jacket.] Anderson: Well, well, well. Look who decided to show up. Barry Windham, the man who turned his back on the Horsemen and joined Dusty Rhodes and his band of misfits. Windham: Arn, I don’t have time for your insults. I came here to talk to you, man to man. Anderson: Talk to me about what? How you betrayed me and Ric Flair? How you left us high and dry when we needed you the most? How you threw away your legacy and your friendship for a bunch of losers? Windham: Arn, you know that’s not true. You know I had my reasons for leaving the Horsemen. You know I couldn’t stand by and watch Flair abuse his power and cheat his way to the top. You know I had to stand up for what’s right. Anderson: What’s right? You call it right to side with Dusty Rhodes, the man who broke Flair’s leg and tried to end his career? You call it right to join forces with Nikita Koloff, the Russian nightmare who hates everything America stands for? You call it right to turn your back on the greatest group of wrestlers in history, the Four Horsemen? Windham: Arn, you’re blinded by loyalty. You’ve seen that Flair has changed. He’s not the same man we used to respect and admire. He’s become a selfish, arrogant, egomaniac who doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He doesn’t care about you, Arn. He doesn’t care about Chris Benoit or anyone else. I thought you had seen this already. He only cares about his precious NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Anderson: And what do you care about, Barry? Do you care about anything other than your own glory? Do you care about the fans who loved you and cheered for you when you were a Horseman? Do you care about the tradition and the honor of this sport? Windham: Of course I do, Arn. That’s why I’m here. That’s why I came back from my ranch in Texas. That’s why I’m ready to fight Ric Flair and take back what’s mine. The NWA World Heavyweight Championship. Anderson: What? Are you kidding me? You think you deserve a shot at Flair’s title? You think you can just walk in here and challenge him? Windham: Yes, I do, Arn. And I’m not afraid of him or you or anyone else. I’ve beaten Flair before and I can do it again. I’m the only man who can match him move for move, hold for hold, skill for skill. I’m the only man who can make him bleed, make him sweat, make him tap out. Anderson: You’re dreaming, Barry. You’re living in the past. You’re not the same Barry Windham who was once a Horseman. You’re not the same Barry Windham who was once a champion. You’re a shadow of your former self. You’re a has-been. Windham: No, Arn. I’m not a has-been. I’m a will-be. I will be the next NWA World Heavyweight Champion. And there’s nothing you or Flair or anyone else can do to stop me. Anderson: Oh yeah? Well, how about this? [Anderson stands up and throws a punch at Windham, but Windham blocks it and retaliates with a punch of his own. The two men start brawling in the locker room, knocking over chairs and tables.] [The camera cuts to black as the segment ends.] Match 1 : The Harris Brothers vs Bobby Eaton & Bobby Fulton The match starts with Don Harris and Bobby Eaton locking up. Don overpowers Eaton and pushes him to the corner, where he tags in Ron. The Harris Brothers double-team Eaton with punches and kicks, then Ron whips him to the opposite corner. Ron charges at Eaton, but Eaton dodges and hits him with a dropkick. Eaton tags in Fulton, who comes in with a flying crossbody on Ron for a two count. Fulton applies a headlock on Ron, but Ron fights out and hits him with a back elbow. Ron tags in Don, who stomps on Fulton and chokes him on the ropes. Don picks up Fulton and slams him down, then drops an elbow for a near fall. Don tags in Ron again, and they hit Fulton with a double clothesline. Ron covers Fulton, but Eaton breaks up the pin. Ron argues with the referee, allowing Don to sneak in and attack Eaton. The Harris Brothers throw Eaton out of the ring, then focus on Fulton. They hit him with their signature H-Bomb (a double chokeslam), then Don covers him. However, before the referee can count to three, Eaton pulls him out of the ring and punches him. The crowd boos as Callis protests. Eaton slides back in the ring and hits Don with a DDT, then helps Fulton up. They hit Don with their own version of the H-Bomb, then Fulton covers him. Eaton stops Ron from interfering, and the referee counts to three. The crowd erupts as Eaton and Fulton win the match. Eaton and Fulton celebrate their victory, while the Harris Brothers and Callis are furious. They attack Eaton and Fulton from behind, then grab a pair of steel chairs. They try to hit them with the chairs, but Eaton and Fulton duck and kick them in the gut. They take the chairs from them and chase them out of the ring. The show goes to commercial break with Eaton and Fulton holding the chairs high in the air, while the Harris Brothers and Callis retreat to the back. Winners : Bobby Eaton & Bobby Fulton Match #2 : Little Guido vs Spike Dudley Little Guido was accompanied by his Full Blooded Italians (F.B.I.) stablemates Louie Spiccolli and Vincent, who interfered on his behalf throughout the match. Spike Dudley was the underdog, but he used his speed and agility to counter Guido’s technical skills and mat wrestling. The crowd was firmly behind Spike, who hit Guido with several high-flying moves, including a diving headbutt, a hurricanrana and a moonsault The match reached its climax when Spike attempted to finish Guido with his signature Acid Drop (a running cutter). However, Spiccoli and Vincent pulled Guido out of the ring and attacked Spike on the floor. They threw him back into the ring, where Guido locked him in a Sicilian Crab (a Boston crab). Spike refused to give up, but he passed out from the pain and the referee called for the bell. Guido was declared the winner and the new NWA Junior Heavyweight Champion. The F.B.I. celebrated in the ring with the belt, while Spike was helped to the back by some NWA wrestlers. The crowd gave him a standing ovation for his valiant effort. Joey Styles praised both men for putting on a great match and announced that they would have a rematch at Battle of the Belts. Winner and new NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship : Little Guido [The scene is a locker room, where Brian Pillman is sitting on a bench, wearing his ring gear and a leather jacket. He looks angry and determined, as he stares into the camera.] Pillman: You know, I’ve been in this business for a long time, and I’ve seen a lot of things. But nothing makes me sicker than the sight of the Four Horsemen. The so-called elite of professional wrestling. The self-proclaimed legends of the sport. The men who think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want, to whoever they want. Well, I’ve got news for you, Horsemen. Your time is up. Your reign of terror is over. And I’m the man who’s going to end it. Pillman: You see, I don’t care about your titles, your money, your women, or your fame. I don’t care about your history, your legacy, or your reputation. All I care about is justice. Justice for all the people you’ve hurt, all the careers you’ve ruined, all the lives you’ve destroyed. Justice for myself, for what you did to me in the past. You tried to break my neck, you tried to end my career, you tried to take away my livelihood. But you failed. You failed because I’m not like the others. I’m not afraid of you. I’m not intimidated by you. I’m not impressed by you. I’m Brian Pillman, and I’m the Loose Cannon. Pillman: And that’s why you’re scared of me, Horsemen. Because you know I’m unpredictable. You know I’m dangerous. You know I’m crazy. And you know I’ll stop at nothing to get my revenge. You can’t control me, you can’t manipulate me, you can’t stop me. You can only watch as I tear you apart, one by one, limb by limb, until there’s nothing left of you but a pile of bones and dust. Pillman: So bring it on, Horsemen. Bring on your best shot. Bring on Ric Flair, the Nature Boy, the World Champion, the leader of the pack. Bring on Arn Anderson, the Enforcer, the spinebuster king, the loyal soldier. Bring on Chris Benoit, the Technician, the submission master, the sneaky weasel. Bring on whoever else traitor you’ve now found. Bring them all on, because it doesn’t matter how many of you there are, or how strong you think you are. Because when you step into the ring with me, you’re stepping into hell. And there’s no escape from hell. Pillman: So get ready, Horsemen. Get ready for the fight of your lives. Get ready for the pain of your lives. Get ready for the end of your lives. Because I’m coming for you. And I won’t stop until I get what I want. And what I want is simple: I want your blood. I want your souls. And I want your heads on a platter. Pillman: And when it’s all said and done, when I’m standing over your broken bodies and holding your severed heads in my hands, then and only then will you realize who I am and what I can do. Pillman: Then and only then will you realize that I am Brian Pillman. Pillman: And I am the Loose Cannon. [The scene fades to black as Pillman laughs maniacally.] Terry Gordy vs Crush The match starts with both men locking up and exchanging power moves. Gordy gains the upper hand with a clothesline and a suplex, but Crush fights back with a backbreaker and a leg drop. The action spills to the outside, where Mr. Hughes tries to interfere but is stopped by Ted Dibiase. Dibiase distracts Crush, allowing Gordy to hit him with a chair behind the referee’s back. Gordy rolls Crush back into the ring and covers him for a near fall. He then applies a bear hug, trying to wear down Crush’s back. Crush refuses to give up and breaks free with a series of elbows. He then hits Gordy with a big boot and a running powerslam for another near fall. He signals for his finisher, the Kona Crush, a head vice that squeezes his opponent’s skull. However, before he can apply it, he is attacked by Dr. Death Steve Williams. Williams chokeslams Crush and then goes after Mr. Hughes, who tries to defend his friend. The referee calls for the bell, ending the match in a no-contest. Williams continues to assault Crush and Mr. Hughes, until Taz runs out to make the save. Taz fends off Williams and Gordy with punches and clotheslines, while Crush and Mr. Hughes recover in the corner. Taz then poses for the crowd, while Williams and Gordy retreat with Hart. The announcers hype up the upcoming clash between Taz and Gordy at Battle of the Belts, where they will face each other for the unrecognized FTW World Title. No-contest In a segment following the match, we see Ric Flair and Steve "Mongo" McMichael laughing and drinking champagne in their locker room, mocking the other wrestlers and boasting about their dominance. Billy Kidman & 2 Cold Scorpio vs Arn Anderson & Chris Benoit As the match begins, Kidman and Scorpio use their agility and speed to gain an early advantage. Kidman impresses the crowd with his quickness, hitting crisp dropkicks and high-flying moves, while Scorpio showcases his athleticism, hitting impressive flips and acrobatic maneuvers. Anderson, known for his technical prowess, counters the high-risk style with his years of experience. He uses his technical knowledge to ground Kidman, expertly applying joint locks and submission holds to wear him down. Benoit, a young and intense athlete, matches Scorpio's agility and brings the fight with hard-hitting strikes and suplexes. Despite Kidman and Scorpio putting up a valiant fight, Anderson and Benoit gradually take control of the match. They cut off the ring, isolating Kidman through quick tags and double-team maneuvers. Anderson's spinebuster and Benoit's diving headbutt shake the ring, adding to the punishment Kidman endures. As Kidman struggles to reach his corner, the crowd erupts in excitement as Ric Flair and Steve McMichael make their way to ringside. Flair arrogantly taunts Kidman, distracting the referee's attention while McMichael delivers a cheap shot to Kidman from outside the ring. The interference gives Anderson and Benoit the upper hand as they continue to dominate. The crowd's frustration turns to anger as Flair and McMichael continue to interfere throughout the match, occasionally choking and distracting Kidman whenever possible. However, Kidman's resilience keeps him in the fight, and he manages to make a desperate tag to Scorpio. Scorpio enters with a newfound fire, taking on both Anderson and Benoit. He hits a series of high-flying moves, leaving the crowd in awe of his athleticism. However, the numbers game proves too much, and despite Scorpio's efforts, Anderson and Benoit regain control. In the climax of the match, Anderson hits Scorpio with a spinebuster, followed by Benoit ascending to the top rope. Benoit flawlessly executes his signature diving headbutt, flooring Scorpio and securing the pinfall victory for the team of Anderson and Benoit. Winners: Arn Anderson & Chris Benoit As the bell rings, Flair and McMichael enter the ring, celebrating their team's victory. The irritated crowd vehemently expresses their disapproval of Flair and McMichael's interference, creating a hostile atmosphere. Flair, and McMichael revel in the boos, while Anderson & Benoit aren’t too sure exactly what to make of the situation. As the episode comes to a close, a video package plays, highlighting the tension between Windham and Anderson, Pillman's feud with who he thinks are the reformed Horsemen, and the ongoing war between the up-and-coming wrestlers and the established stars of the NWA.

But at the same time, we could've had the same concern for Dana White when Endeavor acquired UFC and he's still there. If anything, it might be a situation where Ari is realizing that he's safer with Nick Khan & Triple H than he would be with Vince taking care of WWE, especially knowing what Vince attempted to do before selling the company.

You can see right away that Arianna Grace has inherited the showmanship of her father Santino Marella. Her facial expressions are gold. I think she has the potential to be a solid comedy character going forward.

I knew that I had recognized Myron & Crist somehow but isn't Myron Reed debuting for Impact soon as part of the Rascalz?

Spoke to LowBlow and for now, he turned down the chance to take over WCW. So we'll keep movin as scheduled unless we find a new writer to take it. Otherwise, we'll do as suggested when the time comes.

NWA POWER PREVIEW THE NATURE BOY DOESN'T GIVE UP As the show went off the air last week, another confrontation between Ric Flair and Arn Anderson took place after Flair defeated Brian Pillman in the main event. Yet, the Nature Boy & NWA World Heavyweight Champion still hasn't given up on his hopes to mend fences with Anderson and a possible official reformation of the Four Horsemen. In fact, rumors are swirling that once again Paul E. Dangerously is stirring the pot in trying to facilitate Flair's desires. Case in point; this week's main event will feature Billy Kidman and World Television Champion 2 Cold Scorpio taking on the team of Arn Anderson & Chris Benoit, who were opponents not that long ago on NWA Power. In fact, Flair seems to be in recruiting mode and will stop at nothing apparently to make the Horsemen a reality again. But not everyone sees things the same way. In fact, the NWA stumbled upon interesting footage shot last week and this will be shown at the very beginning of this week's broadcast. THE LOOSE CANNON DOESN'T GIVE UP EITHER Even in defeat, Brian Pillman still remains defiant and he had some choice words for Ric Flair when NWA Power went off the air and it doesn't look like he's buying or trusting the notion that Arn Anderson doesn't want anything to do with Flair, as you'll see in his comments that also will be shown this week. NEW NWA JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TO BE CROWNED After the chaotic finish to the match between Spike Dudley and Little Guido last week, thanks to the Windhams, NWA President Dusty Rhodes has officially sanctioned a rematch between both men and this time, the vacant NWA Junior Heavyweight Championship will be at stakes. We are told that the Windhams were fined for that incident and will barred from ringside so we should see a clear finish this time around to see who will go into Battle of the Belts as the champ! ALSO IN ACTION THIS WEEK The Harris Brothers vs Bobby Eaton & Bobby Fulton Terry "Bam Bam" Gordy vs Mr. Hughes + more!

Pictures really aren't much of an issue anyway. I seriously doubt it would be for anyone else here, for that matter. Unless anyone objects, WCW would be yours.

C'mon, you actually don't believe what Meltzer & SRS are reporting, right? They're clearly are getting worked and are too proud to admit it. It's the same exact pattern we've seen with Bray & Cody. And look what happened.

I will bet that those "Halloween goodies" won't be really as such for Dutch here. Solid show again!
