Smackdown was ok last night. The final match was awesome but the rest just was not up to par.

[ozzyrulz777]

I guess they moved Impact to 7 central.

[Lardbucket]

I guess they moved Impact to 7 central.

Once they moved to Mondays this was inevitable. Their only hope is to try to keep people tuned in at 8 Central. Expect all their major storylines to air from 7:55 to 8:15 or so.
I don't think The E takes them seriously enough to try to shift their timeslot. I'm not sure what TNA can do to make Vince worry. This rumored ECW "invasion" doesn't sound that interesting to me.

[Angry Jew]

A report by the LA Times suggests WWE is days away from announcing a network change for WWE Smackdown. Over the past decade Smackdown has been a mainstay on UPN and CW network before making the move to MyNetworkTV in 2008. LA Times sources say Smackdown is moving to NBC Universal's Syfy, the same network that carries WWE NXT. The move could usher in a new partnership between NBC's Dick Ebersol and the upcoming WWE network. Here is an excerpt from LATimes.com:

"Although terms were not disclosed, My Network TV was shelling out roughly $20 million a year for 'Smackdown.' Syfy's price tag is believed to be closer to $30 million a year.

Although 'Smackdown' is more than 10 years old, it still does very well with men, particularly the 18-34 demographic, and generally averages about 3.5 million viewers overall. 'Smackdown' will continue to air on Friday nights when it moves to Syfy later this year, most likely in either late September or early October."

Impact was fucking shit


The fucking worst in-ring booking AND the worst angle advancing/PPV hype of ANY fucking 2 hr wrestling show I've ever fucking seen and I used to watch Thunder & Nitro, and also and 80's Wrestling Superstars/Wrestling Challenge back when Papa Shango used voodoo to make the Ulterior Warrior barf all over ringside.

TNA IMPACT - it's actually getting worse.


Is that REALLY what everyone, or fuck that --anyone-- at TNA REALLY wants?
Even dumber fucking shit week after week? And then even fucking dumber shit the next week?
By Christmas are they long term planning to just start fucking farm animals with title belts buried in wall to wall manure mayhem matches?
All over-frequently seperated by way way way way too many fucking commercials?

TNA actually comes back from a long commercial break during the middle of a fucking match for about 5-10 seconds, and then goes to several more commercials. Does anyone at TNA or that retarded fucking shit for brains SPIKE TV really think those over packed ads double shoved down the few TNA watchers thrpoats are really going to sell any fucking already over-hyped ugly fucking merch for boring assholes who aren't over???

A few times in the last few weeks those fucking 100% tards at SPIKE went to a commercial right in the middie of Tenay or Tazz still talking, in the middiel of a match.

Filming professional looking/sounding/quality TV can be done by the dumbest fucking people and done to look GOOD ---
HOW FUCKING DUMB DOES THAT REALLY MAKE SPIKE TV AND TNA?

If I was a Nielson family ratings household I would be outraged if TNA got even a speck of a rating for IMPACT this week and next week I would really prefer to fucking shoot myself in the face as IMPACT ended, just to send a message

[Kid-Wicked]

hey jew

what's the deal with bret? i heard his contract ended at wrestlemania?

[BlizzardBass]

It was only a matter of time before Hogan and Bichoff fucked things up. TNA is just a polished turd now.

[Monty610]

It was only a matter of time before Hogan and Bichoff fucked things up. TNA is just a polished turd now.

Hell, it didn't take any time at all. They started fucking it up as soon as they ditched the 6-sided ring and put in Hogan's old-guy ramp...

[Angry Jew]

hey jew

what's the deal with bret? i heard his contract ended at wrestlemania?

I think he is doing the overseas tour (mostly house shows and that RAW last night) to say goodbye to his overseas fans. Maybe he will stay on a bit longer and further a storyline with The Hart Dynasty but I don't know for sure.

[LAglamrocker]

Dixie Dumbass,Hulk and Eric all watch Vince and think" we can do this it looks so easy, fans will love what we bring"...they just dont get it, TNA is badly managed, looser writting, not knowing what to do with people, not having the show have a flow to it, its truly a piece of garbage


How entertaining was Hoff?!! ha,ha Night RIder,Baywatch all night


TNA sounds awesome looking forward to the replay

[ozzyrulz777]

If TNA are doing the ECW invasion I would be excited.

[LAglamrocker]

ECW invation good thing they put in the Hulk ramp

Impact was not awesome, but it was better than that awful Raw.
Two terrible shows, one worse than the other.

[LynnrdVonHetfield]

If TNA are doing the ECW invasion I would be excited.

Only if they would bring in Heyman to book it. The guys they have now would just fuck this up too.

[ozzyrulz777]

I doubt Heyman can be persuaded to get back into wrestling. But never say never.

Cornette threatens Russo and gets legal letter from TNA

Long read but good!
**********************************************
Jim Cornette has made some very strong comments on his blog towards Vince Russo, which you can read at http://www.jimcornette.com/ The comments are from an email he sent to Terry Taylor, who is a TNA employee. Also available at that link is a letter Cornette received in response to his blog post from the law firm of Davis, Shapiro, Lewit & Hayes, LLP.

The letter calls Cornette's comments "terroristic threats" and claims that as a result of those comments, Russo "has understandably experienced extreme fear for himself and his family."

Here is the letter Cornette sent to Terry Taylor:

Email from Jim Cornette to Terry Taylor dated March 19, 2010:

TT,

I was going thru and deleting a bunch of old emails and found this last one from you. I don't mean to stir anything up, but I felt I had to write and get some things off my chest.

I have always liked you and we have never had a problem. I am sure you have heard some of my many commentaries on TNA and I wanted to make sure you knew I wish you no ill, nor do I wish anyone in TNA ill, including talent, TV crew, and office staff. If the "incident" had not happened when it did, I would have quit anyway a month later when the news broke that Hogan and Bischoff were taking over the company, and you know this to be true, because the only reason I was ever there was that I thought TNA would be the promotion to keep Vince from having a monopoly, and be an alternative to this bulls--t sports entertainment. Obviously, with the new regime, that is not in the plans, and I would have made a (hopefully) graceful exit shaking my head and wondering why. But taking that out of the equation, I was glad I worked for TNA, it's just frustrating and disappointing to me that it couldn't have turned out better. If not for one thing, I could move on with no hard feelings. But that one thing is big, and is in danger of consuming my life if I don't just come out and say it.

I will say it because I am trying to quell the burning in my heart--I hate Vince Russo. I despise Vince Russo. I want Vince Russo to die. If I could figure out a way to murder him without going to prison, I would consider it the greatest accomplishment of my life.

I hate him for the money he's cost me. I hate him for what he's done to the business. I hate him for keeping TNA from being competitive to WWE. I hate him for the careers, even the lives he's ruined with his s--tty booking and the irreparable damage he's done to every promotion he's been involved with. I regularly wake up from dreams in which I am in the act of murdering him. I literally burn whenever I think of him. I have sworn to myself that I will willingly go to jail if I ever see him in person again, and he had better pray to his fictitious invisible man in the sky that that day never comes. I intend to make it my life's work and mission to f--k with him and anything he ever has anything to do with in the wrestling business.

Why am I writing you this? One, I got the irresistable urge to explain to you the depth of my abhorrence for this abominable prick, and two, I want to make sure that you, and anyone you care to share this with, knows that I truly and genuinely wanted TNA to succeed and liked working with all of you. I am no longer a supporter of TNA as a company, I hope it goes under quickly and painfully because of the stupidity Dixie has exhibited in employing Russo and now the WCW murderers, and I apparently will see my wishes come true with the new direction, but I really did want to see it succeed. I still like everyone there, and am only mad at a few people--Jeff, for talking me into co-existing with that miserable waste of human flesh for 3 years to the point where I have trouble looking at myself in the mirror and not a day goes by that I am not ashamed of myself for abandoning every principle I ever had and speaking to the motherf--ker; and Dixie, not just for employing that useless twat, but for lying to me about the reasons for my firing (never mentioning Ed Ferrara's name and acting like Russo had no part in it), and lying ABOUT me (letting some Russo stooge spread rumors that I was fired for acting unprofessionally toward him, then not putting her name on the retraction while knowing it wasn't true.)

Otherwise, I like everyone there and wish their hard work could be rewarded, and they could all make millions--but they won't, because of a lack of competence and judgement in their leadership. I have nothing to lose--I'm done with corporate wrestling, and I will never again have to occupy the same arena or even city with Vince f--king Russo, but I still feel bad for everyone else who has labored long and hard in vain because of what he's done to the company's chances. I like you--I like Tenay, and West, and Mitchell, and Sahadi, and Ryder, and the talent, and the crew, and all the rest--even Penzer! And I don't want you or any of them to take it personally when I verbally roast TNA every chance I get--but as far as I'm concerned, Jeff should have WAY known better than to hire that asshole, and Dixie, as clueless as she may be about wrestling, should have been more careful in whom she entrusted her father's money, and more perceptive when it came to spotting imbeciles. I don't want any of you to be harmed or affected because of their stupid decisions, but as I said, it's now my life's work to f--k with anything Russo has anything to do with.

I wish you all good luck--I'm sorry if anything I say or do causes you any problems, and I hope one day to be in charge of a wrestling promotion with the funds to hire all of you to work in it--but just so you know, I will f--k with any company Vince Russo is involved with until I draw my last breath, and if there IS an afterlife I will return to haunt his miserable ass. Either that, or I'll will myself to live long enough to piss on his f--king tombstone. And hey--hatred is a helluva motivator!

Here is the legal letter Cornette received from TNA Wrestling, dated April 9, 2010 via Certified Mail:

Mr. Cornette:

This firm represents TNA Entertainment, LLC ("TNA").

TNA has recently intercepted a shocking and appalling email communication (a copy of which is enclosed) which was sent from your email address to the attention of TNA's talent coordinator, Terry Taylor at his TNA email address. Upon review of the content of said email, TNA was so concerned that they have turned the email over to this firm to take appropriate action in order to protect the safety and welfare of TNA's staff and talent.

Your email reads in part: "I despise Vince Russo. I want Vince Russo to die. If I could figure out a way to murder him without going to prison, I would consider it the greatest accomplishment of my life.... I regularly wake up from dreams in which I am in the act of murdering him."

The email goes on to say: "I have sworn to myself that I will willingly go to jail if I ever see him in person again, and he had better pray to his fictitious invisible man in the sky that that day never comes."

It is our view that the foregoing statements constitute "terroristic threats" under virtually every jurisdiction in the country, including under the US Code (18 USC 875) and Kentucky State Law (KRS 508.080). Generally, under both Federal and State Law, a person will be guilty of having made terroristic threats if such person willfully threatens to commit a crime which would result in death or great bodily injury to the victim and demonstrates specific intent to communicate such threat to the victim or to a third party who the perpetrator believes will convey such threat to the intended victim. Your email satisfies all of the foregoing elements and it is irrelevant whether you intended to actually carry out such threat or not. Nonetheless, we must assume the worst. Indeed, the language of the email is so specific, unequivocal and unconditional that Vince Russo (a TNA employee) has understandably experienced extreme fear for himself and his family. TNA management shares his concern, not only for Vince, but for all of it's employees, staff members and talent (some of whom were specifically named in your email as being targets of your anger).

Accordingly, be advised that we have taken action to notify all applicable Federal and State law enforcement agencies and have provided them with a copy of the email, together with your personal information, including your home address, social security number, and other pertinent information which would facilitate their efforts to investigate any violent acts taken against TNA employees, staff members, talent or any of their property. Any further threats to contact Vince Russo or any other TNA personnel (directly or indirectly) shall be viewed as acts in furtherance of such threats and shall be pursued and prosecuted accordingly.

On a related note, it is our understanding that you were recently employed by TNA as an independent contractor and talent and, as such, you had access to confidential/proprietary business information related to TNA (hereafter "Confidential Information"). Your email contained certain statements which discussed internal TNA management decisions and the circumstances surrounding your departure from TNA. Those matters constitute Confidential information. Accordingly, we are taking this opportunity to remind you that the Confidential Information is proprietary and is not to be revealed except as expressly permitted by TNA in writing. As a former talent of TNA, you continue to be bound by your legal obligations and duties to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of your various talent agreements. You cannot share Confidential Information with ANYONE (including current or former TNA talent) and TNA will vigorously enforce it's rights in this regard.

Please be advised that this letter is written without prejudice to any rights, actions or claims otherwise available to TNA (or any of it's employees, staff or talent) now or in the future.

Sincerely,
Guy S. Blake, Esq.
Davis Shapiro Lewit & Hayes, LLP
Beverly Hills, Ca.

"I never said I was gonna kill him; I just said I wished he would die. I have dreams about killing him but last time I checked, the United States of America, it's legal to dream about doing sh*t that you'd like to do but you know you aren't gonna do. "

"His family is the innocent victims of genetics and in this case, it's not their fault that their related to this abominable prick."

" If you hear this sound, [Cornette rustles some paper] this is me wiping my ass with their legal letter. They got bigger problems. They need to figure out who murdered TNA Wrestling. Was it Mr. Bischoff in the kitchen with a knife? Was it Mr. Hogan in the garden with a lead pipe? Or was it Colonel Russo in the drawing room with a candlestick?"

"He's not worth the bullets it would take and the powder it would take to blow him to hell."

"I'm not gonna do a thing to Vince Russo because Vince Russo is doing a good enough job at burying himself with the horsesh*t and the garbage he's putting on television every Monday night."

"So once again, Jim Cornette is not gonna kill Vince Russo. Jim Cornette is not gonna hunt Vince Russo down and beat him up. Vince Russo, with his lack of balls and lack of guts, is shaking somewhere in a closet because Jim Cornette has said he is a miserable a$$hole..."

"...Vince Russo is the worst cancer and booker and sh*tty person that ever existed in the wrestling business..."

"My opinion is: VINCE RUSSO is a MOTHERF***ER."

[Royal Dudeness]

Honestly, how the hell does Vince Russo have a job in wrestling still? By all accounts, the guy has done WAYYY more harm than good wherever he's worked.

Good on Cornette. Always loved his rants, and think he's got intelligence in spades when it comes to wrestling

[Caustic Queen]

That Cornette email is the best Sludge I've read in ages...

[LAglamrocker]

so whats Dixie Dumbass tweeted about lately?

[OverMe]

WWE officials are reportedly looking to book golfer Tiger Woods to host the Jun. 7 Monday Night RAW taking place in Miami, Florida. However, few believe he will accept the offer.

The reports of WWE attempting to book Tiger Woods as guest host of RAW has garnered press amongst the golfing community as Golf Online published a story today concerning the reports.

[Garbageman]

If TNA are doing the ECW invasion I would be excited.

Why? Do you want to see 50 year olds like "The Band" fighting the 45 year old whippersnappers that used to be in ECW?

[Angry Jew]

Leaving on a 13 hour drive shortly for TNA Lockdown. Let the jokes fly.

After the disappointment that is TNA, I can't imagine how long the 13 hour drive home is going to feel!

You might be right! Jeff Hardy is a real nice dude though. I'm hoping for a great show.

[Lardbucket]

Why did Hogan, Flair, Bishoff and a whole hell of a lot of others jump ship to TNA anyways?

Lighter work schedule, less travel, get to be on TV to feed their egos.

Haha oh wow. To me, it all seems like a way to "get back at Vince" for whatever reason. I was really surprised with Flair considering the big farewell they gave him on Raw a while back with, you know, him CRYING and everything.

Well, after he cried at his retirement ceremony, he probably cried when he got another divorce, then he probably cried when his financial services company went belly-up, then he probably cried when he had to make personal appearances at minor-league wrestling shows to make money. When TNA called (and Vince hadn't) Ric figured a check is a check, and there you have it.
There may be some degree of "getting back at Vince", but Vince wasn't calling them to come back to WWE and he doesn't take TNA too seriously as a threat. So far at least, the ratings are proving Vince to be right.

Oh shit I had no ideer all of that happened to him. If he probably cried from all of this then he probably also cried from the realization that he's balding.

Any predictions as to what will happen in the future to both companies? Personally, I couldn't give two craps about TNA, I think it's a joke. On the other hand, a lot of things in the WWE is a major joke so it's kind of a lose-lose situation. I liked that WCW/ECW invasion story with the WWE, it'd be interesting to see another invasion story if TNA gets bought by Vince.

Yeah, Ric's probably shed a few tears at the realization that he's starting to look a lot like Dick the Bruiser.
Wrestling is really dire right now. There's not much I find interesting on either show, and I watch mostly out of habit and to laugh at the awful booking.
Dixie seems committed to keep pushing forward, so as long as she has SpikeTV I'd guess TNA will stay around. Spike can't be happy with the sub-1.0 ratings every week, so Hack Hogan and crew had better try to stumble onto something that catches people's attention. The "ECW Invasion" (where you can't really mention ECW too prominently under threat of lawsuits from Vince) won't do the trick, and neither will Hogan's over-50 crew of buddies.

[TheCULTofMANSON]

cant wait for lockdown to start!

[silent_eyes]

Well, goodbye Syxx-Pac. Idiot no-showed the PPV and is done with the company... again. This makes what? The third time?
