Excerpts from the 3/1 Wrestling Observer Newsletter

 

There was nothing said to the wrestlers this week about the 4/4 show being cancelled, but company sources have confirmed that as accurate. TNA sources say that the 4/4 date was told to wrestlers at a meeting, but was never supposed to be released in company publicity. However, InDemand put it up on its site.

 

When Johnny Fairplay was ripping on Joannie Laurer endlessly on the 2/18 show, it sounded like they were shooting an angle, but instead they did an extended burial. There was even a suggestion to embarass her by playing a tape of one of her phone conversations during one of the shows, but that wouldn't serve much of a purpose.

 

The next taped show is 3/10. With the IWA deal falling through, they are having AAA defend the America's Cup against Team Canada. They'd better have a hot main event as well, because two teams of guys who aren't regulars isn't going to do well. Also, the Canadians would have have never worked with Luchadores before, sothis is far from a sure thing.

 

The situation with Juventud Guerrera is in question. He will over the next two weeks be attempting to come in, but TNA never did his visa paperwork. They wanted him coming in saying he was a tourist and not doing buisness. But he's been red flagged at the border so they are supposed to be looking for him. He got in the last few times, but every time is a risk.

 

The 2/18 show appeared to have heavy Russo influence, with two tag teams breaking up, and a heavy Dutch Mantell influence with post-match brawls after virtually every match. If anything, Jeff Jarrett was pushed harder than ever.

 

They had advertised Bill Apter handing out awards at the show from his Total Wrestling magazine for AMW as tag team of the year and TNA as most innovative promotion of the year (no jokes please), but it didn't air.

 

Alex Marvez had an interesting article on Sonjay Dutt. Dutt, real name Retesh Bhalla, is a 21 year old student at George Mason University, scheduled to graduate next semester with a degree in communications. While he was born in Washington DC, he has legit Indian heritage,and grew up speaking two indian languages before learning English in school. He said his goal is WWE, but recognizes that his size, that is a longshot.

Nothing new, but I find it awesome TNA decided if Jonaie whatever wanted to get better treatment than any of their wrestlers, then they'd say fuck off and mock her for thinking shes anything but shit.

 

 

I guess Juvi only has to worry one more time, as they already did part of the Americas-X Cup tapings last week, and do the last this wednesay. I just hope the border people are cool enough to let him slide.

 

 

Off topic, but whatever happend to the Amazing Red? I know he was injured, but it's been a LONG Time since I've last seen him.

He'll return soon.

 

Like ive said before in another post. TNA will die if they dont get rid of Dutch Mantell.

Agreed, but I don't think Dutch is THAT bad. TNA has been going in a nice direction lately storyline wise, but matches keep getting shorter, which is NOT a Dutch quality, if anyone's ever seen IWA Puerto Rico.

Didn't I see Bill Apter handing out awards?

You did, but it was a very brief video package for it.

If anyone knows about Red, its me. He is gonna be at the 3/13 show, 1st match back. I think he's rushing it though cause he was supposed to be out for a year, unless a year has passed by already.

IIRC, Red got injured in either July or August of last year with a hyper-extended knee. If that's the case, then I'd have to agree with you that he's rushing back to the ring too soon.
