16 years after losing Tough Enough, Josh Matthews will finally show the world he's the greatest play-by-play announcer as well as TNA Grand Slam champion.

This is a huge win. Now can Josh and Liberace.

As much as I'm loath to NOT blame TNA, this time it seems as if Maria and Mr. Bland are the ones who did the jerking around. It seems as if TNA thought they were about to re-up and they pulled out at the last minute,. Guess they think they can make more money somewhere else.

I'm guessing they saw the ten percent clause and changed there mind

Or...it seems - as has already been noted - the contracts they received after agreeing to re-sign were very different than what they had been promised.

The funny thing is them expecting to make money elsewhere.

This will be the second major storyline that won't have a real conclusion too. The Hardys search for gold/tag title run is dead and while they have two episodes left to air I think, the Maria/Allie stuff is dead as well unless they do some major editing. Plus Maria's club and I think they had still had something with Gail on the back burner.
At this point the March tapings should be a massive reboot. Just call TNA and Impact dead and start with GFW branding or Anthem Wrestling branding. New champs, new titles, new storylines, I mean what WGN was basically wanting a few years back.

So basically Maria is leaving before Allie gets to give her what she deserves. Good job having Gail and Brandi Rhodes kick Maria's ass, and holding off on Allie doing it. Look for Rosemary vs Allie and Brooke now, maybe they have Sienna join up with Decay.
Although, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Allie and Rosemary are both leaving soon. That 10% clause can't sit well with them, they're in demand on the indy scene, and they probably could get a job with WWE easily.

That's a hit for TNA, though I always figured they pretty much told ROH "Yo, Dixie offered me twice your pay rate. Is it ok if I go drain her bank account for a bit?"

Say what you will about Bennett's talent and all the jokes you could make about him being bland or what his place on the card should be, to lose two prominent TV talent along with the other 3 in the space of a couple of days due to not being quicker on the ball with it, that says less about the talent and more about you as a company.
It's like they heard someone say Dixie Carter's reign at TNA was one of the most demoralising for the workers in the history of wrestling and Anthem went "Hold my drink for a second".

Seriously though, I'm sure that 10 percent clause isn't sitting right with a lot of talent. Can you imagine if they tried that shit with Lashley? Like he has to give them 10 percent of his MMA earnings? Lol.

He'll definitely walk if they try it, though.
