I can't help but laugh about Bobby Lashley. If they had signed him when or around his departure from WWE him being on the roster might have been a big deal. Same with MVP. But, then again, TNA would probably have fucked that up, too.

King Midas had the gold touch. TNA has the kiss of death.

Probably am, but the likelihood of a company having pay issues then being able to pay after being threatened seems very unlikely to me. Especially since I know a few of the guys who do production work for TNA who've received late paychecks in the past. This story has got way too many plot holes in it to be true. Hard to blame TNA for this issue anyways as it's probably accountants from the Panda side that are to blame.

TNA pays them. Not Panda. Panda gives TNA money to help keep it afloat, (although reportedly not a lot anymore because Mr. & Mrs. Carter are unhappy with all of the money their daughter has wasted on this without turning a profit), but the names on the check say "TNA" and TNA is responsible for paying all of its people with its own money.

It is time for TNA to do something truly cutting-edge and memorable,, something that'll get both casuals and smarks alive giddy with anticipation. My suggestion solves those issues.

Hell Without Glory Match
Kane vs. Sam Shaw

It's a SIX SIDED Hell in a Cell match, but there are special extra ingredients to make this extra memorable.

A blowtorch or flamethrower is set on the roof of the cage. Both men start inside the locked cage in the ring. The object of the match is to obtain the weapon, and the participants are welcome to use it on each other. HOWEVER, in order to win, one must burn a hole on the ring canvas and then "drag his opponent to Hell." If the weapon runs out of fire, the individual that has his finger on the trigger at the time of the weapon going on empty is disqualified.
This is utterly ridiculous. Why would you even suggest this match when we all know that TNA would never book it. Just look at the situation you've laid out here: How are they supposed to do a ref bump?!

The referee is set on fire, silly.

This is incorrect. Panda handles the payroll. They make out the checks for all TNA staff members.

I don't watch Impact, but I did watch One Night Only: Joker's Wild on Sunday. He was on that. That show aired May 2013, but was taped in January 2013. So, um... Yeah.

Anybody bought tickets for the NYC shows in June? I'm thinking of getting them because I've never been to a TNA show, to see the Wolves live again, and since a lot of TNA stars do signings before the show I would like to meet Taryn Terrell(if she will be back by then). Though, I don't know if I should waste money and time on an overall sub par product.

You can also spend your money on tickets to a CHIKARA show instead. :)

Eh they should be good shows wrestling wise as they'll be getting the majority of the BFG Series though.

Go for it. Live is always better than TV. and if it isn't that great you know not to do it again.

Should the New York Rangers make it that far, I'd definitely recommend seeing a game in the Stanley Cup finals in Madison Square Garden. Unless tickets are more or less impossible to find.

Exactly. Asking to go to a TNA show is the equivalent of asking if he should attend a Flames @ Islanders game.
