OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted November 7, 2003 TNA takes another move to one up WWE and more... Its been a very busy couple of weeks. Its been a surreal couple of weeks as well. My apologies for taking last week off... This column got pimpslapped to the curb by some last minute things that were a bit higher on the priority scale. TNA has upgraded my video editing facility to all Mac, so I've been having to learn a whole new system to work on. It is like dropping the English Language and taking up Spanish on the premise that Spanish is a more sensibly constructed dialect. I'm enjoying it though. You will see some vast improvements on the visual look of the show very soon. The main event was red hot, as the building was louder than ever for the Jarrett/Sting contest from this past Wednesday night. The Lex Luger announcement certainly seemed to catch quite a few people off guard. Anyone who suggests that we are bringing him in for any other reason than to compete in this tag team match is simply incorrect. His name had been kicked around long before the unfortunate events of this year had taken place. The deal was done just minutes before going live on Wednesday night. People obviously want to see him, as our advance ticket sales have dramatically increased going into this event. Nikita Koloff held a prayer meeting with several of the wrestlers before the show Wednesday night backstage. I'm all for that. Nikita is a fantastic, charismatic speaker and a wonderful human being. I've really enjoyed getting to know him over the years. A Lifetime documentary crew has been following him around for the past several weeks. TNA is proud to announce that starting in January, TNA will be offering our PPV's as a monthly package deal for the suggested retail price of 34.95. This is a bargain on a few levels. Obviously you will be saving money by buying it monthly, but this will be an especially good deal for months where there are five Wednesdays, with March 2004 being the first. Most of the cable systems are expected to get on board with this new pricing option. So starting January... you will get four to five weeks of TNA (roughly eight to ten hours of live PPV wrestling) for the same price as one WWE PPV. That is a no brainer. You will likely be seeing more of Sting in the weeks to come in TNA. The very graphic footage of James Mitchell on Xplosions very popular "TNA CAM" feature after his match with Raven was too bloody to air on this weekends Xplosion episode. The footage may make this Wednesady night's PPV broadcast, but that has not been determined at this time. Mitchell took one hell of a beating Wednesday night, and I'm sure will be feeling effects of that brutal match for weeks, and perhaps years to come. AJ Styles will be in action this Wednesday night as a special treat for those of you tuning into the free TNA Pre-show. The show is carried by nearly all systems carrying the TNA PPV, including DirecTV. The free preview show begins at 7:30 EST every Wednesday night. The passing of Mike Lockwood is a very sad situation, and I'm not sure there is much more I want to say at this time. Low Ki will be facing off against Christopher Daniels this Wednesday night on PPV. This is an X-Division dream match in my book. The women of TNA will be shooting a swimsuit calendar next week. Our cameras will be rolling as well. There will be a five team Gauntlet for the Gold this Wednesday night to crown new number one contenders for Diamond & Swinger's NWA World Tag Team Championships. Look for an announcement for recent TNA PPVs to be offered via streaming internet video very soon. This will be especially popular with our international fans who can't get the show in their area. The new TNA DVDs are selling very well. Check them out on the merchandise section of NWATNA.com. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimm44 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 You should have copy and pasted the entire column and given credit to nwatna.com and Borash but no hate... It seems Sting may have signed a longer deal which is good news seeing as he had a great reaction wednesday night. I can't wait till I go back to Nashville Thanksgiing weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corey_Lazarus 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 The women of TNA will be shooting a swimsuit calendar... ...what women? There's Trinity and Athena...two women does not a good calendar make. Anyways, I'm liking this new "monthly package" idea. Saves me $5 a month, and I might even get one show for free compared to the original price (3/04).

tommytomlin 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2003 Tracy Brooks is kinda hot, and then there's Lollipop and some of the other cage girls. And AJ Styles is known to show some ass too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest JacK Report post Posted November 8, 2003 lol, AJ Styles, of all the things they were gunna show on TV, a young man being spanked by a fat old man is NOT one of them; not what I want to see. Then again, ANYTHING involving a fat old man is not what I want to see. Wow, 5 Team Gauntlet for the Gold . . . who will it be? Maybe AMW, Siaki and Ekmo, 2 Live Krew, Doring and Roadkill maybe, and those Naturals fellows perhaps? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
