Dylan Waco Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 Heard this rumor late this evening from a local promoter who books TNA talent. Talked to some other people tonight confirming it. TMZ just reported it. Russo was a big blow. Expect some bullshit excuses ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 That has to be a record of some sorts, has one person ever killed two different major promotions? For all the "LOLTNA" stuff, they were a nationally televised promotion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 If this is absolutely it then TNA will win the Worst Promotion of All Time. They already had the lead but this would lock it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote There were reports that Carter positioned to her staff at a meeting on Friday that they were leaving Spike on their own volition due to a lack of promotion, but others have confirmed Spike had told Carter they were not going to offer a new deal.

slackermillionaire Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 If this is the end of Spike and with Jarrett's Global Force not seeming to have anything besides a database and a youtube video, I wonder how this influx of talent is going to affect the indies.

slackermillionaire Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 I wonder if the WWE has an interest in the tape library, I believe Spike owns all of the Impact footage. But really is there any footage they have that is really that worthwhile for the WWE? I don't think there is a lot of value adding old weekly TNA ppvs to the network.

Jesse Ewiak Posted July 28, 2014 Report Share Posted July 28, 2014 So, is Dixie the dumbest human alive for continuing to fall for Russo's bullshit, is Russo actually a svengali of Rasputin-like proportions that we've always underrated, or have they just been banging this whole time?

The Russo fiasco wasn't the main reason but it was definitely a factor. Felt that having Bellator go from weekly to monthly shows probably caused a change in thinking TNA was necessary to help promote them every week. Also that there's probably only a handful of people who would have a chance to get spots in ROH or in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
