sek69 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I think that's largely due to there being a lot of current stuff he's more interested in. New Japan, obviously, but he even went out of his way to watch the CMLL Anniversary show last year which is usually out of his wheelhouse despite being an historic event.

jdw Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 I do like Dave being goofy about when the word "overexposure" entering the English language. He would have been better off being explicit about what he means: overexposure due to television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sek69 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Welp, Dave just announced in the new WON that Destination America is canceling TNA Wrestling in the third quarter (most likely September when they have the option to opt out). Commence the TNA lunatics going full North Korea and deny anything that is negative against Glorious Dear Leader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 "We'll see who has the last laugh when the REAL story comes out from someone more credible than D*ve M*ltzer that TNA isn't getting cancelled from Destination America, they are being moved up to be the flagship show of the Discovery Channel."

They are just the easiest group to make satire posts about. And I thought mocking WF.com's attitude with my "Road Runner is an asshole" topic was easy. I wouldn't doubt if I looked hard enough at all the garbage they have spewed on their site and on twitter if someone over there hadn't stumbled upon that delusional line of thinking though. I mean maybe some big wig at Discovery read the PRESS RELEASE~ and decided they need some of those sweet sweet ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sek69 Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Between Bob Ryder, Russo, Billy's Pal Sign Guy Dudley, and Bischoff it seems like there's no 90s era relic TNA won't let have a hand in running things. How did we not get GLF booking at any point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I'm amazed none of you realize what's REALLY happening here. This is Dixie's version of a Lie Detector test, like she mentioned wanting to do on Austin's show. She gave every one she knows a different piece of false information and waited to see who would leak it to Dave. Now, assuredly, the double agent is revealed.

C.S. Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Funny (but fake) face to face interview between Meltzer and Russo - an homage to the feature found in those old Inside Wrestling magazines. http://kevineckwrestling.sportsblog.com/posts/2519011/face-to-face--vince-russo-vs--dave-meltzer.html His Russo impression is almost spot-on. I'm not as sure about Meltzer, unless this is how he comes across in audio (I've never listed to a single soundbite of his audio, so I don't know).

I especially love the part where Meltzer responds to Russo comparing himself and Chyna to Jesus and Mary Magdalene. The "I mean"'s and "you know"'s are pure Meltz verbal ticks.

I know you are joking , but it is the other way around . I think ROH will have the last laugh . I would not be shocked if ROH buys the remains of TNA at a fire sale. People tend to forget that Sinclair has more money than anyone in the business, they just chose not to spend because they are risk averse .. SBC bought ROH on the cheap , they might just end up with the TNA library . The reality of the situtation is that the TNA dream of overtaking the WWE was pure fantasy . Also TNA 's position as the number two company ended when Sinclair bought ROH and the company was vertically intergrated into a muti- billion dollar broadcasting empire. The Carter's should have sold to Viacom when they had the chance , it looks like TNA is doomed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goc Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I don't know why Sinclair would want TNA's library though. At most I would just see them cherry picking whoever is out of a job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
