*Seth Rollins is the Shield member with Heat. Most notably with the Big show. *Some good new talent was set to debut, but he did something that pissed off management and his debut has been delayed. *TNA is losing 1.2 million a month from going on the road. *Universal Studios has already sold the iMpact zone to a new show. *TNA's late payments include Hulk Hogan. From the Pollock and Bauer show: datav3.fightnetwork.com/blog/39961.mp3Why does a WWE creative guy have inside info on TNA?

It's possible that some of the people he worked with in WWE are now in TNA, and they let him know this stuff? It's not inconceivable.

Not completely, but we're taking insider news that's already spurious and adding another degree of separation to it - add to that TNA trading privately and he could be absolutely pulling numbers out of his ass.

Wrestling was a lot more innocent and fun before I learned about dirt sheets... I could have just assumed that Ohno was injured by The Wyatt Family instead of worrying about how he might have peaked already because he's apparently in trouble with important people for not working out. But I guess you can't close the metaphorical Pandora's box once it's been opened...
*sigh*

Court Bauer used to run the independent company Major League Wrestling where he worked with a lot of workers in the business. Plus, he gained even more contacts when he worked in WWE. As for TNA, he probably knows Dave Lagana. He works with Konnan on a podcast and Konnan knows people in WWE and TNA.

The Triple H term "skinny fat-ass" fits his physique pretty well. I don't see anything special in Ohno/Hero anyway, so I'm hoping the rumours of him having heat are true. Hoping even more it leads to him being let go.

How can you being losing that much. Are there tickets sales that bad? Because one would guess what they make from gate, merchandise, and concessions would off set that price. 1 million a week seems high after all of that.

Has TNA actually sold a shirt before? =P I don't think I've actually seen someone in person wearing a TNA shirt. I'm sure if I look closely on Impact I'll see some people wearing them, but merch doesn't seem to be a strong point for them.

Not completely, but we're taking insider news that's already spurious and adding another degree of separation to it - add to that TNA trading privately and he could be absolutely pulling numbers out of his ass. His claims are backed by this week's Observer as far the TNA numbers go. Edit: And just a point of clarification on this one. The number was $1mil a month, not a week. Meltzer's reporting it costs TNA 600k to run their tapings every two weeks, that works out to about $1.2mil in costs per month so you might actually be able to say that estimating their losses at $1mil is actually underplaying things here.

Now it not even far to say that not many wear there stuff. Honestly there is not many people wearing any wrestling shirt outside an event. At a TNA event they sell it. I've seen it happen.
