Some exclusive Tna News !!

I Found this at death valley driver and thought I'd share with you

 

"Reports have indicated that Jeff Jarrett has been extremely moody in recent weeks. Some have stated that he has been heard in the back praising the extended contracts that were offered to AJ Styles and Christopher Daniels a while back and then moments later complain about how much they are being paid and that it was a bad move. While this is not being reported as fact, Jeff Jarrett is allegedly hooked on Xanax as well as using recreational drugs such as cocaine after shows. Whiles drugs and wrestling are not uncommon bed fellows, in a recent interview Dixie Carter stated that the only abuser of any drugs in TNA was Raven. It seems funny for Carter to single out one wrestler when it has been reported and confirmed by a number of sources that these actions are not done solely by Jarrett, but he has been known to participate in these activities with other members of the roster after shows at the Double Tree Hotel in Orlando. Seems like TNA may want to take a page out of the WWE’s book and begin random Drug Testing. With that being said, TNA would be hard pressed to punish other users if actions are not addressed with their “premier talent.”

 

- BG James recently addressed a payment issue with Jeff Jarrett. BG and Jarrett go way back to the days of Double J and the Roadie back in ’94. BG was so loyal to Jeff in fact, that back in ’94, BG left the then WWF with Jarrett over a situation between Jeff and the WWF. The payment issue that arose was that BG wanted both Kip and he to receive equal pay. Kip came on later as a “Premier Talent” and was offered a substantially larger amount of money than what BG first came on for, again sighting his closeness with Jarrett. BG offered the argument that they have made millions of dollars together in the past and the amount of money asked was minimal given the return the two of them could draw. Jeff refused to pay BG anymore money. After an exchange of words, Jarrett said he would take the money that he was giving to Kip and give it to BG and that BG could explain to Kip why he is making less money. BG said if he does that he will walk from TNA.

 

- Speaking of BG, he and many others in the TNA locker room are not fans of Bubba Ray. In fact, he has called the former ECW and WWE tag team champion a “bully” and a “pussy.” He was heard telling the boys that “Bubba is a bully in the ring but if you hit him back, he is a pussy and won't do anything back to you”. Bubba has been criticized heavily in the back since their September debut with TNA. Some of the most evident liberties that he has taken include the chops in the leg to AMW in their first match on Spike TV as well as the beatings he put on Eric Young of Team Canada. Young was scene sporting a few welts on his face and chest following their match up with Team 3D on the Impact Primetime Special. Bubba continues to garner criticism for costing Team 3D politically and financially. Bubba was fingered as the cause to why they ended negotiations with WWE as well as the vocal one burying the WWE as well as other instances like claiming to need a raise in pay after “winning” a tournament in Japan. Many feel that Bubba is strictly going through the motions. Several sources have indicated that Bubba has not only lost a step in the ring, but has let himself go physically as well. On the flip side, D-Von is well liked and respected. One of the more interesting moments took place in September when D-Von approached Gail Kim to apologize for yanking her hair so hard during their debut match. Gail Kim responded rather snobbish stating that she was a worker, but D-Von again apologized none the less.

 

- Andy Douglas of the Naturals is in the doghouse for an incident that occurred at a recent Hermie Sadler UWF/TNA show. It was reported that Douglas was not at the hotel as required to catch the shuttle to the airport for their next show.

 

- Despite several reports, Lance Hoyt is not being sent to Puerto Rico as a means of punishment for his match with Matt Bentley this past Sunday at Destination X. Sources have indicated that the opportunity was presented to Hoyt prior to his match.

 

- Sources have also indicated that PWInsider’s Mike Johnson is given TNA information directly from TNA’s own Jeremy Borash. Borash who is a close friend of Jarrett’s and previews to a lot of insider information, has handed information over as a favor to help promote his own agenda. Borash used PWInsider to assist him in selling his Forever Hardcore DVD, and as a result, he allowed Johnson to appear as an on camera expert on ECW. Who is responsible for leaking more information than Borash? The answer Scott D’Amore, who frequents “The Landing Strip” Strip Club in Detroit. D'Amore has been sited in several stories from locals for leaking key storylines and swerves during his several visits there.

 

- Following GERWECK.NET breaking the Sting coming to TNA story (while other “reliable” sources tried to down play it or report it as a “rumor”), information within in the company has been tightly guarded. More often than not, the wrestlers are not informed of the direction of the show nor are they informed on who is coming. In fact, Scott Steiner wasn't backstage at the Destination X PPV like previous stars such as Christian Cage. Steiner arrived shortly before his planned spot and allowed no time for Internet reports to pick up on it.

 

- TNA decided to run a house show in Detroit since many on the card are able to drive to the arena (Sabin, Petey Williams, Rhino, etc.)

 

- TNA agents are told to refrain from socializing with the talent and distance themselves from them as much as possible.

 

- Many within the TNA locker room feel they are underpaid and under utilized. Many have approached management with pay increase requests of a few more dollars only to be welcomed with the canned statement “We cannot afford that right now. We are $22 Million in the hole right now”. Several of the wrestlers are deeply offended because shortly there after, TNA usually signs a “premier talent” to an inflated rate of pay, most of the time several times over the annual rate of pay of the talents that are responsible for putting the company on the map.

 

- The standard TNA contract is a 1 year contract with an option to roll over into year 2 and year 3. TNA can only roll into the next year of the contract if the talent is contacted in writing 90 days prior to the expiration. If TNA fails to notify the talent anytime after the 90 day period, the talent reserves the right to negotiate a new contract or to decline resigning with the company. At no time can the talent opt out of the contract prior to the 90 day period nor can they refuse re-opting of the contract if notified within the 90 period. In layman's terms, if after 9 months TNA doesn't let the talent know they are being resigned to an additional year, they are free to negotiate with TNA and outside companies such as the WWE. TNA has tried to remove this clause from many of the new contracts because all too often the talents are signed at different times and it becomes tough on management to not let someone slip through their fingers. Examples of this happening in recent years including Abyss, Monty Brown, AJ Styles, and Sonny Siaki who opted not to re-sign and head to the WWE instead"

This should be called "exclusive TNA rumors", not news.

Okay, I know it's Hoyt and Bentley in the same ring, but just how BAD was this match?

You got rolls? Those go great with crabcakes!

[Dangerous A 0]

I'm not feeling crabcakes because I don't dig the seafood.

 

How about some Italian though? Rolls go great with Italian.

[Magus 0]

Actually, this stuff doesn't sound too far-fetched.

I watched the PPV and don't even remember them being on the card. I don't remember who won, what Traci was wearing, nothing. So, it couldn't have been good. Either that or my friends and I were in a discusson that distracted me through the whole thing.

Making mini-sandwiches is also a great use of rolls. Very tasty and quick snackers.

 

What's the Death Valley Driver board anyway?

[bob_barron 0]

Glennsoe should go away.

 

This is not exclusive news.

[Kardo 0]

Wow, that Jarrett news is about 3-4 years out of date.

[benoit4hor 0]

Maybe Sting should hire Alex Shelley to get the dirt on Jarrett.

If Brother Bubba lefted up his shirt would he have a lunch box size birth mark on his belly welly?

At One Night Stand last year the commentators noted that Bubba looked to be in great shape.

 

He looks the same to me now as he did then, so I'm not seeing how he "let himself go".

 

Unless Joey Styles was being sarcastic.

[razazteca 0]

Joey was doing his job putting over the talent as any good announcer should.

Uh...what?

 

At One Night Stand, Bubba looked to be about 30 pounds lighter than he is now, and a hell of a lot more solid. He was wearing a tank top for gawd's sake, and it didn't look awful. Since then, he's put on lots of weight. He's not back up where he was when he was in ECW, but he was in much better shape at ONS than he is now.

 

And as far as this so called "news" goes...only an idiot like Dave O'Neill (who is NOT Desperate Housewife...HONESTLY) would believe this crap. It's unsubstantiated and not being reported by anybody credible.

[Jingus 0]

I can confirm a little bit of this. I was talking with a TNA wrestler about the Dudleys, he said that D'Von is a great guy, smooth as silk in the ring, but Bubba is "just a big stiff asshole" who can knock your head into next week without even trying.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Makes me think that D'von should have a singles push in TNA but it wouldn't work out well.

[theintensifier 0]

Eh, that's all old news, and even if it happend to be new information, it's not ground breaking.

Nope. It'd never work.

[Magus 0]

Makes me think that the Dudz should get a short run with the Tag Titles and then TNA should send them on their merry way.

 

They're better off without them, but honestly, TNA won't get rid of guys they think are big name stars. They're still paying Hardy afterall.

[Guest GoJoe]

I've always thought Devon and Spike could be a great combination of the Dudleys, if Bubba ever became a problem, you could always replace him.

[Dobbs 3K 0]

Probably more exciting than the Bubba/Spike team was in WWE.

 

Honestly, the Dudley Boyz are the ultimate example of the downside to not having more promotions in the US anymore. Their gimmick is pretty one dimensional, and you can only take them for a while before they _should_ move on to another territory. Instead, they tend to overstay their welcome. I don't think they've gotten to that point in TNA, but after their first couple tag team title reigns, it's going to happen.

[Zack Malibu 0]

I'm sure once TNA feels they're growing stale, they'll just turn them heel...perhaps even a double turn with AMW down the line? Unless some new babyface superteam is put together in the meantime.

[USC Wuz Robbed! 0]

Stale? Jeff Jarrett says hi.

[Zack Malibu 0]

Duly noted. I suppose the same goes for the James Gang too, seeing as how it's been Bullet Bob and Konnan carrying that feud.

[razazteca 0]

TNA Creative needs to go watch some old WCCW to learn how to get the family vs heel storyline over. At least Fritz Von Erich had the Iron Claw...WTF does Bullet Bob bring to the table other than the smell of Vicks Vapor Rub.

This reads like stuff from wrestlingnewz.com or something.

I'm aware that most people here think this 'news' is bullshit, but have Brown and Styles really signed with the WWE? I only ask because no-one's gone either 'what? That's not true!' or 'yeah we knew this'.
