-Young Bucks were supposed to come to the March taping (as part of Hardy deal) and didn't show up. Wasn't this because TNA told them they couldn't do the special due to the cutbacks they had at the time so Matt had to pay his own money to make it happen? Like, from what I remember, that's why there wasn't that many name tag teams in the Apocalypto match. They were supposed to be in that, but that fell through along with the Corgan arrangements.

Okay, so does TNA just attract stupid people or does it corrupt people to become beyond stupid? I've been convinced for a few years now that there is some sort of gypsy curse on this company.

Didn't Matt provide proof that he funded taping stuff like Final Deletion and whatnot? I feel like that's a bigger investment and putting the gimmick on TV more than these Anthem clownshoes did. {Spoiler}{Spoiler} Obligatory Ed Nordholm photo. Going back as far as the Final Deletion, the Hardys were paying out of pocket for the production end of everything they did. Matt even hired a freelance referee for the match, rather than TNA sending one of their own down to deal with it. Then there's the fact that the entire thing was shot on their property and using their ring--I imagine for the Hardy compound special, if the Hardys charged anything for the use of their land it was infinitely cheaper than the cost of running the Impact Zone for a night would have been--and I think the only thing that wasn't the Hardys' was the drone, which belonged to Borash. Borash reportedly being the only guy involved in the Hardy segments who wasn't Matt's family, because he's a drone enthusiast and did all the flying of Vanguard-1. So as far as 'investing' goes, not only does Ed Nordholm have zero f***ing grasp on how intellectual property works, but he's also lying about the actually incorrect thing he's saying. TNA probably did all the editing and stuff in-house, and obviously put it on TV, but in no way is "broadcast it on television" the actual claim to ownership of f***ing anything. If that were the case then Spike TV would own 90% of LucasFilm due to how often they air the original Star Wars trilogy.

The fact that this guy met JJ last December and needed a wrestling guy and brought JJ in proves that he doesn't know a goddamn thing about anything.

Actually, a better example would be if CBS tried to keep the rights to Supergirl when it moved to CW despite not owning the trademark, the character and only paid for where it is and for contracts.
I mean, all that stuff would have been sorted out in advance to move it to another network of another rival. Unlike TNA...

I love the fact that going Full Dixie is a thing.
I'm sad that going Full Dixie is something we've seen happen like 16 times in TNA ... this year

As I said before when The Hardys were in TNA, they f***ed up before they even knew it. You allowed Matt full on freedom to whatever he likes including film from his own home. All they ever did was edit and show the footage and therefore they somehow feel entitled to the gimmick.
They have been petty with a lot of their top talent

This man is an idiot. No idea how he got to be in charge of an (apparently successful) conglomerate.
Reminds me of other people with peculiar notions of copyright and intellectual property that got smacked down, like the Twilight fanfic author who thought that the book characters weren't under copyright because nobody had been hired to draw them so she'd be free and clear to publish her fic in book form and sell it in stores, or that one editor who assumed that everything on the internet was public domain and ended up having to shutter her magazine. Those didn't end well.

Maybe Hogan forged up seven Hall of Fame rings for the Lords of Anthem, corrupting them to darkness until they become Hulkmaniacs and serve their orange master?

The thing is, Dixie sucked, but it was like in a charming, "Aww shucks, hun" kind of way. This guy just sounds like an arrogant jackass all the way down.

What happens if Ed and Dixie do the Fusion Dance? You'd nuke the world with an idiotic fireball. TNA's fate is sealed. They're owned by someone who clearly has no idea what they are doing, and those put in charge to run the thing are 2/3rds of the team that did nothing but drove it into the ground (until Hulky showed up and accelerated things). Oh, and all of the key talent have left. So Jeffy can't even rely on that anymore either.
