If Robbie was in trouble before.......

[greeby]

......he better start prepping some indy dates now.

Several readers have emailed us asking about the TNA Mobile Alert message that was plugged throughout last night's edition of Impact. Here is the exact message that the company sent out to Mobile Alert subscribers:

"The WWE wrestler shown in attendance on last Thursday night's live Impact was sent home by the WWE and was forced to miss the events of the weekend."

Obviously they are referring to Robbie McAllister and while they did not break any new ground with the message, TNA is still trying to profit off of putting a guy's job on the line. TNA wrestlers were upset about the company showing him on television and again naming him on the official website, so I would imagine that this will rub several people the wrong way.

TNA: We are bush-league

[forgottensinpwf]

TNA: he'll be working for us eventually anyways. it's not like he's going to be in WWE for much longer.

[clifford]

TNA: We ruin livelihoods

[Kevin Hamilton]

Eh, you could get that off any newz website, so I don't think that's that bad of em.

It is when it's the only way you advertise your mobile service. They are trying to make money off Newz they manufactured for the sake of wanting controversy, of wanting people to pay attention to them. Like it's the only f***ing thing noteworthy going on in TNA. But of course this is just the status-quo for them, putting WWE-based things ahead of their homegrown talent

[Captain Wonderful]

TNA is so f***ing CHILDISH in their actions, it's ridiculous. Now Robbie's job is probably in jeopardy JUST because TNA was in the position to personally f*** with the guy?

I also wish they'd realize that they're the only ones who look like dicks with the constant WWE-bashing. It's like that episode of South Park where they just ripped into Family Guy for an hour (oh...hilarious and edgy!), and Family Guy absolutely no-sold it. All that accomplished was making Trey and Matt look like whiny little bitches who are jealous because they're not as good as their competition.

Yeah. I said it.

Point taken. I didn't realize THAT was the only selling point.

[Dr. Bolty, Disaster Enby]

God, TNA even showing him on camera in the first place may be the most pathetic thing I've seen a wrestling promotion do in my brief fandom. It's motivated by a "PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO US" mentality, but the result is...NOBODY FREAKING CARES! Nobody CARES if a Goddamned HEAT JOBBER wanted to watch TNA one night! Geez!

[Super Duper Dragunov]

i love tna but this was sad.

i think the thing that made it even worse was the look on his face, i literally had to turn away and turn to my friend and say "he's busted, look at his face he looks like he got caught taking a cookie out of the jar"

i thought it was pretty silly to be honest. i'll never forget the look on his face.

[hardswallowjockass]

Why would he even chance going to TNA, is he that naive to think they wouldn't exploit the fact that a WWE wrestler is present in their arena? Either way I feel for Robbie, I actually liked that team.

[SickFlipPiledriver]

It's like that episode of South Park where they just ripped into Family Guy for an hour

Actually in the end they were making fun of their own show too.

"At least Family Guy doesn't get all preachy and out it's own ass with messages."

But yeah. TNA, classless. Who knew?

Well, seriously, he probably didn't think they'd actually care (after all, nobody else did) that a jobber was there to watch TNA.

[metylerca]

TNA: Look At Us (please?)

[Professor Chaos]

Oh Robbie Oh Robbie, where for art thou Robbie? Deny thy TNA and refute thy name.

[Cylon]

Yet another reason why I will not watch TNA. They're such dicks and are acting like 6 year olds on the playground "Ooooh Robbie went where he wasn't supposed to! MR. MCMAHON! MR. MCMAHON!" grow the f*** up you pieces of trash in TNA. You cost a man his JOB because you wanted to get some publicity how f***ing pathetic can you be? TNA is just jealous because they cannot get the type of following WWE has (or ROH even) so they have the f***ing try and use them to get themselves publicity. It's just like how Angle and a camera crew went into a place where they KNEW WWE guys were and yet still tried to film them.

[Panda Powers]

The hilarious thing about this though is that's it's Robbie of the freakin' Highlanders! If it was Cena or someone like that, then I could understand TNA making all the fuss, but a bloody Bushwhacker 2000?!?

[BxB]

I really feel for the talented guys in TNA. The company is run by a bunch of unethical morons.

[richter]

This,along with everything else TNA has pulled in the last week, makes TNA look bush league and prickish no matter how hard they and their supporters always try to spin things. TNA puts more time and energy into these type of things then they do with anything else. At this stage their main concerns shoulkd actually be to create stars and put on a watchable product.

TNA and their supporters always use the lame cop out of how WWE did the DX invasion thing ten years ago or whatever. This holds no water. First off, WWE and WCW were almost equal and had been around for a very long time. TNA is not even close to that level. When TNA and their supporters bring up things like the DX invasion they act like WCW were the innocent victims who never tried anything like that. B.S.! WCW was constantly taking their digs at WWE. People seem to think that when you are on top it makes no sense to acknowledge your competition, well when WCW were ahead for two years they were always taking shots at WWE.

Besides, the whole DX invading WCW bit wasn't even WWE's idea to begin with. They actually stole it from WCW. I don't know why it never happened, but Eric Bischoff wanted the NWO to invade WWE in a similar fashion. Also, Hall and Nash were suppose to have ringside seats at the Royal Rumble in 1997. I even remember WWE mentioning this on thei ol Live Wire show. So to say that WWE were the only ones firing shots, WCW were innocent victims and that's why it's alright for TNA to do what they do is B.S.

Anyways, what new fans has TNA attracted as a result? There were 70,000 fans in Orlando, but they are still fans from all over who probably already know TNA and 70,000 is still not enough to give their numbers a dramatic boost. TNA wasn't even able to plan their week properly. So you have all these fans coming into Orlando and you still book the little Impact Zone and still stick with this VIP deal where half the people attending still attend all the other shows on a regular day?! LOL! TNA only did this just to be dicks. They wanted to disrupt Mania, they delusionally think they own Orlando and they were jealous cause the Orlando mayor actively seeked WWE for Mania, while TNA has struggled to attract the city's attention.

You think THAT'S bad, remember that one time I met Bill Clinton at the dry cleaners?
