ROH attendance doesn't dwarf TNA's. ROH barely gets 500 fans to an event if that and TNA gets 1,000 to 1,500 every week and TNA gets that in the shithole named Nashville. It isn't even in hot wrestling towns like ROH visits. The only time ROH's attendance came close to TNA's is when they had Jeff Hardy on the show and all those horny girls showed up.

Steph isn't fat. It looks like she is working out and is putting on muscle, plus her tits keep getting bigger and bigger. I think she got new implants or something. She might have got into HHH's hgh.

The ppv is already airing weekly in Canada. Do they mean Xplosion?

Funaki, Tajiri, and Ultimo Dragon should also join. They could be like the nWo of the cruiser division.

To follow up on what Buck wrote last night about Ryan "Keiji" Sakoda coming in to WWE, from what I am hearing, he will be part of a “Japanese Mafia” gimmick with Jimmy Yang. 1wrestling.com This could be an awesome gimmick if done right.

Ring of Honor bores the fuck out of me. I'd take TNA any day over that.

Dangerous A, who was the former star looking to come out of retirement Meltzer was talking about? It was probably Heenan eh?

Thanks. I don't know what to think about AJ going back to the X division. On one hand it does make it seem that the X title is equal to the World and he can put on awesome matches again with the guys in it. On the other hand it could be looked at as he is being pushed back down. I can't believe they would actually consider holding the 11/30 ppv at the Nashville Fairgrounds.

I wonder if his voice is back to normal.

Can you post the TNA news in the TNA section please? I won't get it until tomorrow or Monday. This issue sounds like it has alot of good tna stuff.

Any good TNA news? I won't get to see it until tomorrow or Monday.

I really don't give a fuck if Jarrett holds the title. For one without him there wouldn't be a TNA to talk about at all and secondly, there really isn't anyone more deserving of being a main eventer at the moment. There is Raven, but I have a feeling they are saving the Jarrett/Raven rematch until after Hogan gets done. The whole reason he stopped feuding with it is because the Mitchell feud took him off path to try and end him. Once he finishes the feud and finally gets revenge on Mitchell and takes him out I think we will get Raven/Jarrett again only this time with Raven as the face and Jarrett as the heel. This is when I think Raven will finally fulfill his destiny and become NWA champion.

They signed wrestlers to 1 year contracts witha 2 year option, so Panda is obviously serious about this company and plans keeping it around.

-Rob Van Dam doesn't seem to care how he spends the remaining months of his stay in WWE. RVD's contract is up next summer, yet he hasn't taken the diplomatic approach to discussing the company that other wrestlers in his position have. Instead, RVD has been pulling no punches in radio interviews, and most friends believe that barring a major push as a main event wrestler, RVD will opt for NWA-TNA and Japan once his current deal expires. -Dutch Mantel and Scott D'Amore held a meeting with the wrestlers prior to Wednesday's TNA pay-per-view. One wrestler described it as a "rah rah meeting," and said the main purpose of the meeting was to get the wrestlers excited about the Nov. 30 pay-per-view. Both TNA reps mentioned Hulk Hogan's appearance and rightfully declared Nov. 30 as the biggest night in TNA history. The wrestlers were also told not to bother Jeff Jarrett and Bob Ryder with their complaints. Instead, the wrestlers were instructed to take their complaints to Mantel and D'Amore, who said they would take any issues they couldn't resolve to the upper brass. -Most TNA wrestlers are under the impression that the brawl between Vince Russo and Jeff Jarrett that took place on Wednesday's pay-per-view was Russo's blowoff angle. More than one TNA official has told the wrestlers that Russo will not be able to take part in TNA while Hulk Hogan is around and that he will be taking a break during that time. That said, don't rule out the possibility that TNA officials want that news out there so that it will seem like an even bigger event if Russo is part of Hogan's storyline in TNA. -In what some are taking as another sign that Jimmy Hart is more involved in TNA than has been reported, Hart's sidekick Dave Penzer was backstage at Wednesday's show. Penzer is helping TNA arrange independent bookings for its wrestlers. The wrestlers were asked to name the price they would work for on the indy scene, which Penzer then relays to any interested independent promoters. -Kid Kash and Abyss had a minor altercation in the TNA locker room following their match Wednesday night. After the match, Kash complained to TNA officials that Abyss had worked rough with him. Abyss took exception to Kash's claims and confronted him in the shower area. One wrestler described Kash's response: "Kash went into his, 'I've been in the business for (years) and I'm not afraid of you so bring it on,' routine." Kash, who has a reputation for being a hot head, probably hasn't done himself any favors with new booker Dutch Mantel. Last week, Mantel pulled Kash aside to talk to him about the way he treats the agents when discussing his matches. And keep in mind, Mantel is said to be high on Abyss, whom he worked with in Puerto Rico. It's also worth nothing that more than one WWE source has said Kash would have been offered a WWE contract long ago if it weren't for his sour reputation. -Three Live Krew was not booked for this week's show. Road Dogg got the word late and decided not to attend the pay-per-view since he wasn't booked. Konnan made the trip and worked as the color commentator for the Spanish announce team. Ron Killings also made the trip, and made it known that he was not happy with being left off the show. -The word backstage is that while Don Harris has returned to television, his brother Ron is no longer working for TNA. Believe it or not, the wrestlers were told that Ron is going on the road with Randy Savage to help run his rap music appearances. -Danny Doring, who teamed with former ECW partner Roadkill at the TNA show, broke up with Francine a while back. -For what it's worth, the word in the TNA locker room was that Roddy Piper's promo was so incoherent that producer Jeremy Borash wasn't able to piece together enough quality footage. That would explain why TNA advertised a Piper interview, only to have the Red Shirt Security smash the tape.

Dave Sherer on the no name show says that RVD doesn't plan to resign. That is the reason he opened up the comic book store. According to friend of RVD he plans to just run his store and maybe wrestle 1 or 2 days a week for another company and maybe a Japanese tour once in awhile unless Vince offers something really good for him to resign, but Dave doesn't see that happening since everyone that has resigned lately has had to take a major paycut.

I like Kevin Northcutt. He has some really impressive power moves. The other guy just looks really goofy. I'm surprised WWE hasn't signed Northcutt since I doubt he was given a 2 year deal. I wouldn't have a problem with Northcutt getting a singles push with TNA.

Don Harris got a huge pop coming out on this last show. You would think he was the #1 face by the pop he got...

IMDB.com is reporting that The Rock will star as John Travolta’s sidekick in “Be Cool”, which is a sequel to Travolta’s 1995 film “Get Shorty”. In the movie, which they reported is scheduled to start shooting in January of 2004, IMBD reports that Rock will play “a gay bodyguard-singer who develops an alliance with Travolta's character.” … Thanks to the many people who sent that along. 1wrestling.com

It is a shame Low Ki was injured at the time. He deserves a 2 year contract also.

Actually it was Dave Sherer who reported this. Dave Sherer is the most reliable wrestling news guy on net besides Dave Meltzer. He doesn't like TNA or even watch it I don't think, so there is no reason for him to put up bs rumors. If it was Bob Ryder there would be reason to doubt it, but since it is Sherer you can almost guarantee that it is legit.

Well say he does 1 indy appearance a week as well as 1 TNA appearance a week. That is 4,000 a week for working just 2 dates instead of the 4 he has to work for WWE. That is 16,000 a month. That is 192,000 dollars a year, not including any Japanese tours he would go on bumping it up even more. He would still get to be on tv with MLW and TNA also.

RVD would make alot on indys and doing Japanese tours also. He would be a top name on the indy's and make $2000 an appearance like Raven or maybe even more. That doesn't even include the money he would make from TNA.

It is probably people like Rico, Kanyon, and Stevie Richards asking.

He already tried. That is why they had to sign everyone to long term deals. He was going to start buying up everyone not under a contract. Plus, he already blocked them from putting ads on Spike during Raw.

You can take this for what it’s worth, but over the course of the last few weeks, more and more WWE wrestlers are asking me specific questions about NWA TNA and their health, as well as their long-term prospects of making it. I think it’s fairly obvious why wrestlers would be asking such a question, given how business is in WWE right now. It’s safe to say that the vast majority of the wrestlers out there are hoping that TNA can become a serious number two promotion. 1wrestling.com
