A fly is in the room, Spud and EC3 are pissed...
Spud: Buggard! Get this fly out of here! EC3: It's on your shoulder! I'll get it! *hits Spud's shoulder* Spud: Ouch! *rubs shoulder* Did you get it? EC3: I got it. Spud: Check under the table. EC3: *looks under the table, for a kill confirmed* Spud...this is a raisin. Russo: SWERVE!!!

On the very last Impact we HAVE to get #LOL@TNA trending. This should be our mission.

I've read a lot about Russo here. He may be the reason that the final nail is put into the coffin, but it's unquestionably Hogan and Bischoff who killed the company in the first place. Yeah. However like WCW there are many people who hurt the company. Vince Russo didn't "kill" WCW. His style of booking lead to a gradual decline of viewership. Vince Russo didn't "kill" TNA, but he was the catalyst that could have lead Spike to pull the plug. Thinking about it WCW and TNA (if TNA does disappear) died because of a lack of leadership that a pro-wrestling company needs. Someone crazy like Vince who has that unique ability to plan long term. Well under Russo in 2009 they were gaining viewers and making money. It was only when Hogan joined that they began losing money. You can't blame Vince for most of what happened. The bottom fell out when Bruce Pritchard was brought in with with Hogan and Bischoff. Sadly Russo got all the blame (some of it deserved), but Hogan deserves most of it.

It's weird but I could argue that Russo IS responsible in a way. If he took the time to look before sending that email, then it's highly possible that TNA would have firmer ground to stand on in negotiations. I mean, the ground would be built on "They don't know we're lying, so shut up", but stil...that's something.

"TNA Impact Where the action never ends" Zooey Deschanel should play Daffney on the upcoming movie "The Tragedy of Total Non Stop Action Wrestling". Gary Oldman will play Vince Russo. Allison Janney=Dixie Carter Josh Holloway=Jeff Jarrett Justin Bartha= "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles Martin Landau= Ric Flair Kathy Bates= "The Samoan Submission Machine" Samoa Joe

I honestly think that the TNA comments section on their Facebook is worse than F***ing WWE's... Seriously get a look and a laugh at this trash:
"Y'all TNA is not goin anywhere stop listening to rumors gosh y'all are sad but if it was wwf u wouldn't believe u be calling ppl names and liars but since its TNA u believe it lol wow"
"Gotta love all the anti-TNA comments on here. Go back to cheering for John Cena, this is for wrestling fans."
"Her to shut her mouth and bully to put her thru a table because we know that he will but when is the question?"
"Option C's been around long before WWE's plan C! Get off the page if you dont like it Idiots!"
"I knew the little children would be on here downing TNA. Guess what? Tna will get another channel. They planned for this to happen so they signed with a top agency and all will be fine. So tna haters pull your pants off stop playing with yourself because TNA is here to stay. Go jerk off to Paul Heyman or run into traffic bow!"
"Tna will not die, because it has had better competition on it than wwe has over the past ten years."
"Tna haters, just remember we didnt sell out by buying all the older guys again. And I dont mean people like tommy dreamer and d-von that can still wrestle. Seriously, hulk hogan?? Ric flair? C'mon guys" (Someone should remind him instead they went for ECW Nostalgia, Ezekial Jackson, Snitsky, and King Mo, which honestly are not improvements.)
I hope you don't mind Magic(onz) but this is the best way I can sum these up
"Remain calm, all is well!"

I guess 59-60 is the age in which someone becomes an "older guy." Either that or this guy started watching in 2014.
