I never get tired of people thinking TNA mentions WWE every week, especially when those people probably never even seen TNA since 2006. They sure as hell mentioned WWE two weeks ago. Hence his failed disguise attempt. And it is a big deal because as I said, they created news in order to run with it, sort of like Elliot Carver in Tomorrow Never Dies. Furnishing both the war and pictures, so to speak. Usually it was news about PPVs or who could possibly be Wrestler X's partner at PPV Y on Date Z. This time it was "we helped get someone in trouble let's run with that and be the only frelling thing we mentioned". Look it doesn't really matter because when even the TNA locker room thinks their promotion were being total douchebags in what they did there's no longer an arguement. THEY know it was bush-league, I know it was bush-league, and YOU know it was bush-league but you can't admit it because to you TNA is flawless. In summary, I will continue to say whatever I want to you in regards to what I think about TNA at all times and we'll see how that goes.

Rory is at RAW today, but not Robbie. I'm only guessing that he'll be released amongst the annual post-Mania cull.

Sunglasses isn't really a disguise.Plus, they didn't start this cycle of news for Robbie. They showed him for a few seconds to put over Orlando, and then you had the news site report it, then it became this big thing, and THEN TNA had the thing with the mobile news. They thought it was fine, and it ended up not being fine, and it caused this whole thing. Yeah. I think TNA is flawless even though I said it was stupid to do since you pissed off your roster. What if I said that you are just arguing this cause you have a problem with anything TNA, from the show to the people to the fans who enjoy it? They also have done the "news" thing before, and have done stories of who gets signed, what might happen in the future, and some conflicts backstage. I don't see where the outrage is. It's just a conflict from 2 weeks ago that ended up getting overblown in the usual way of people as something cold and calculating to take advantage of the situation.

I think if TNA management could Monday Morning Quarterback this incident, they would not show Robbie on Camera again. I don't think they really thought it out that well. I think that if knew that his job would be jeaporidized for this then they would not do it. Now, it if was someone with some clout in the WWE like say a Sean Micheals or Undertaker at the TNA event, then they would not hesitate to show him on camera. After all, do you think Mcmahon would have sent either one of those guys home on Wrestlemania weekend?

I never get tired of people thinking TNA mentions WWE every week, especially when those people probably never even seen TNA since 2006. God, a 20 second appearance to hype ORLANDO as a wrestling mecca and that's it gets shoved around like it's a beacon of bush league-ness. People act like they dragged Robbie from his house and stuck him in the ring and had Russo come out and hit him with a phone and cut a 20 minute promo on him. He was in the audience cause he decided to be there. He was in the line to be in the audience, willingly, so I bet he knew he was gonna get filmed at one point or another. Someone in the back saw him and brought him in and showed it. Was it stupid to highlight him? Yes,if only cause you had people in the back pissed off. Is it a big deal? Hell no. Hell, most people didn't know who it was, even with his name there. I thought it was Droz to be honest. So what if they had a TNA Mobile? It's not the first time they did some news thing for the phone. It's not riding on this, it's just business as usual. It's not like they put a big picture of him on the front page and bragged about it. It was a few passing references. It's not the same as the VKM Stuff from before at all. In summary, get over it. its really easy to justify something when you simplify it down to the point where you leave out some of the most important facts as stupid as the people at tna seem to be most of the time, even they have the sense to know that showing and naming him on tv would endanger his job, which is no way to treat someone who just came out to support your product, yet they did it anyway to say "hey look, the wwe does know we exist, here's one of their wrestlers at our show", they may not have had malice in their hearts when they made that decision, but they certainly had no regard for what it would do to him, and i bet if they'd asked him beforehand if he was ok with getting filmed he wouldn't have been, and the look on his face confirms it and then when news broke that he was in trouble over getting caught on camera doing something thats a known taboo, tna, realising they had just possibly cost him his job, decided instead of doing the classy thing, that they would advertise it to say "no really, they really do know we exist, we just got one of their wrestlers in trouble", if thats not bush league and unprofessional then i dont know what is
