Jeremy Borash From The Inside

Recommended Posts

Well, did you miss me? No? Well, I’m sorry to hear that. I missed me. I can only explain my absence from the evil pen due to a completely crazy first month of 2K4. Hopefully I haven’t forgotten how to do this. So, let’s begin.

 

I really enjoyed this past week’s show. Some amazing things are going on right now in TNA, as I feel we are just starting to ride a huge wave of momentum going into this springtime and summer. We have been steadily growing and building some incredible business partnerships with people sharing the same vision for our company that we have. I’m just fastening up the seatbelt and getting ready for the ride.

 

An electric main event that had the Asylum in a frenzy this past week between Callis and Watts. With Watts out of a job, and Callis and Jarrett in control, I suspect TNA to be quite a different place this Wednesday night.

 

Violent J and Shaggy gave mad props to the Professor Mike Tenay Wednesday night, which was a complete shoot on their behalf. That is the beauty of wrestling. Nowhere else but professional wrestling would a controversial multi-million record selling rap act wearing face paint pay the highest compliments to a straight-laced man in a tuxedo known for his uncanny knowledge of professional wrestling. Congrats to Mike for once again winning the Wrestling Observer Announcer of the Year for 2004 by a wide margin.

 

If you were wondering, I was a little on edge Wednesday night when Kid Kash came in the ring to try and get me to sign the loyalty oath for Jeff Jarrett. It really didn’t come all too unnaturally though, as Kash is a heel on and off camera.

 

My roomie and TNA office guru Tim Welch and I have been reprimanded by the landlord of our downtown Nashville apartment building last week for throwing a bit of a shindig. Yes, a shindig ladies and gents. Apparently, there is a “no shindigs” clause in my lease. You know it was bad when ICP and Too Tough Tony were the most well behaved individuals in attendance.

 

And who says he’s such a jerk? Jonny Fairplay sprang for the limo after the show Wednesday night to help celebrate Shark Boy’s birthday. This birthday puts Sharky at age 59 in fish years.

 

Speaking of Fairplay, he’s been doing mounds of radio interviews, something like 35 in the last two weeks alone for TNA. Rumors that he has rubbed a few people wrong in TNA shouldn’t be all too surprising. After all, if a man dubbed as the most hated man in America showed up at your office, would you expect him to be suddenly pleasant? I think not.

 

I have been put in charge of the upcoming Girls of TNA DVD release, which is set to go into production on Sunday night at an undisclosed location. The working title of the project is “The Girls of TNA Strip Poker Party” and will feature Trinity, Goldylocks, Traci, and TNA girls Lollipop, April, Shay, Chelsea, and Paris.

 

As expected, the Brian Urlacher segment was picked up by most national media outlets, and made ESPN’s SportsCenter Top Ten last night. The Chicago Bears superstar was a total pro and treated our business with the same respect we would give his.

 

The America’s X-Cup matches will certainly make the Feb 11th event a must see. I think I have been most impressed with Hector Garza, who has a new look since his WCW days, and performs one of the most amazing double-twisty thingees on Sonjay Dutt I’ve ever seen. The America’s X-Cup will air on February 11th on the TNA PPV.

 

I strongly suspect something big out of Jeff Jarrett’s scheduled NWA World Title defense this Wednesday night. He is not aware of who his opponent will be.

 

The Hardcore Legend Terry Funk teams up with Hard 10 winner Sandman to take on the Gathering. This one has potential to be the headliner for “Best of the Bloodiest Brawls 2.” All rules go out the window when Texas Terry gets in the ring, and you can be sure the Gathering is in for a fight.

 

Rumors are circulating of a possible reunion of those two dolts that hosted WCW Live! doing a similar program for TNA. When reached for comment, one of those dolts was quoted as saying, “We’ve been kicking around the idea for a while... I may float the rumor out there in my column just to see what happens... who knows what will come of it?”

 

Both ICP and Glenn Gilberti and David Young have some very entertaining interviews that air exclusively on Xplosion this weekend. As luck would have it, it appears as though David Young is afraid of clowns. I cannot wait to see Violent J’s double plancha triple nipple twist unleashed on Gilberti this Wednesday night during the ICP vs Gilberti/Young tag team match.

 

El Leone takes on Abyss this week as well. Leon made an immediate impact taking on Jeff Jarrett and apparently is on the side the duo of D’Lo Brown and AJ Styles. Two physically huge, masked men take each other out next Wednesday.

 

That’s all the news that’s fit to print. Till next week, I’ll see you on the Inside.

was he serious about the TNA girls dvd?

Why wouldn't he have been? I'm pretty sure he was...

 

Hopefully ICP will do well when they wrestle. When matched with the right opponents, they can be really good. Shaggy's XPW match with Vampiro vs. MMW was surprisingly *Excellent*, and their WCW work wasn't horrible, either. Young is a very good worker, but Gilberti...meh. Hopefully, it'll work out, though, as ICP is prolly getting TNA some good publicity.

America's X Cup sounds interesting, and after reading the spoilers I might order that show (my first in awhile)
