I'm a huge JR fan and this is a hard listen. First question was bs about "How many times can we watch TNA a week on Destination America?" Real hardball there JR.
Btw did ya know Destination America is the largest pay tv programmer in the world? That's what she says in like the first couple minutes. I literally don't understand that claim.
EDIT: Going on I think she meant the parent company in general.

When people watch wrestling it's because we want to know who is marrying who behind the scenes.

This entire thing is preplanned, this isn't an interview it's going through the motions for Dixie to spew bs.
Ross is saying wrestlers concentrate too much on wrestling and not enough on acting for backstage vignettes, and that we need more producers to get the talent over. This is mind boggling.

Corny, is it worth listening yet? I was curious, but those last two posts make it sound like it wouldn't be something pleasant.

Dude I can't even wrap my head around this salad tossing.
This is not the old school gruff Jim Ross I'm a fan of.
First "fan question" is an obvious pre planned softball... and I quote "do you have plans on expanding into canada or mexico?"
Yes. That's a burning question we all want to know.

JR allegedly got slammed with questions about confusion over the name, so now we get a clarification on what to call it, TNA or Impact.
Riveting.

Well, I would at least ask why Dixie hasn't changed the name and how she feels knowing she's trying to push a company named "TNA." She given any indication on that front?

Yup, I'm honestly disappointed that JR is just so happy to blow smoke up her ass.

JR on his podcast at least every other week goes on about how he HATES the TNA name. In this episode we ignore that. She says they struggled with the acronym and it's a foundation now. That's the answer followed by explaining Impact is their Raw. Because this is confusing in America (specifically America, not other places). ...

Mike Tenay is going to be doing some other show for TNA now. Some reality crap that's young and fresh.
Josh Mathews will be Taz's broadcast partner. Kinda dated info. Wonder how long ago this was recorded.

Putting herself over for going through the table.
Ross saying if she does it again it'll cheapen her first one.

So basically, we are just wishing this would have been Austin's podcast instead of JR's. Lovely.

JR on the table spot: "The fans finally got the payoff after waiting and waiting, [...] and wrestling fans love to anticipate, they love to go on that journey. Even if that vocal keyboard warrior mentality says 'this is predictable', well go back to your room. Go look at grandmas pictures again because we don't need to hear that."
wut?

This is as much of an interview as those fake news cast infomercials for colon cleansers are.

AJ Styles now.
He was just coming into his own in the last year.
That's what she claims.
Just this last year.
