- The price to book Kurt Angle is 10 grand a show. - David Sahadi read some of the negative feedback regarding last month's Against All Odds PPV where it was calling the show one of the worst PPV events of all time. Jim Cornette said "Why are we listening to this" then Mike Tenay said "Because the New York Times doesn't cover our PPV's". Then Don West got really mad and the discussion and it ended with everyone agreeing that the comments were made by those on the WWE payroll trying to make TNA look bad. As for the fan chants they simply put it off as marks who are trying to get themself over. - Before Jay Lethal came out recently at an iMPACT! taping Nash told the live crowd if they would make noise for him he would donate $1,000 to charity. Then Borash said the same thing which got the crowd chanting his name. - There was an Xplosion match with Lethal & Sonjay Dutt vs. Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin where they were going super fast and doing zero selling. Konnan and Cornette told them to slow it down but they said they were told to do that by Jarrett who said the X Division is like a video game. - Most people backstage agree that interviewer Leticia Cline as no talent, but for some reason, producer Jesse Ward likes her and she keeps getting her into segments. - Konnan was told for the last time that Senshi cannot join LAX. They said the main reason is because they don't think he can work a non X Division/Main event style. From Gerweck.net. Outside of the random Angle news, this seems like a whole lot of bad in my opinion... EDIT: Just to be a jerk....

There have been a ton of live reports from the iMPACT Zone where performers would play little tricks on the crowd to get them riled up. It's just sad that they have to DO THAT to get reactions for some guys.
*blink*

Whenever I read these I picture like Christian Cage eavesdropping on everyone writing notes as he listens.
Jim Cornette: Why are we listening to this? And Christian what are you doing?
Christian: Uhh...nothing..
Jim Cornette: Anyways these must be guys on the WWE payroll!...

Doesn't Nash have a history of the "I'll donate to charity" thing?
I mean...that is kind of cheap. He may be funny in the Paparazzi Videos...but he IS still the same guy.

- The price to book Kurt Angle is 10 grand a show. Oy vey... I really doubt this is true. I pick on TNA a lot...A LOT (just ask I Got Heat), but even I don't think the people in charge of TNA are this stupid. Some reason? Oh, I think everyone can guess what the reason is... If true, this is a bad move. Low Ki/Senshi would be a perfect fit in LAX, and I think his time in ROH proves he can work a non-X-Division style.

Tenay: *Mickie Mouse Voice* I...I can't believe it! How could they not like the Prison Yard Match!! West: THIS IS UN-FRICKIN-BELIEVABLE!! Cornette: [Censor] this [Censor] [Censor]!! [Censor]! I hate this kind of [Censor]! [Censor]! [Cennnnnnnnnnnnnnsor]!!! West: I would love to see them tell me this to my face. RIGHT IN MY FACE!!

I'd love to hear the Mickie Mouse-voiced Tenay again, if someone could upload that, that'd be great.
And the news doesn't surprise me at all, to be honest TNA doesn't seem like they have much of a direction. Every month a PPV must have at least 2 or 3 heavily-gimmicked matches, seems way too excessive,IMO.

Every bit of this just sounds like NEWZ and a bunch of mularky.

Thanks for posting this mysterydriver. The Konnan/Jarrett dipute about the nature of the X division is interesting--I can see people saying, "Yeah, yeah, make the X Division like a video game."

Just as long as Elevation X doesn't take place over a bit of spikes with Vince Russo/Dutch Mantell/Whoever is Being Blamed for Booking shouts over the speakers, "FINISH HIM!" I could see Jarrett looking as the X-Division as a "sideshow" to real wrestling because of his old school ideals, while Konnan, A Mexican Legend, realizes just HOW profitable it could be in the right hands.

I don't even find TNA remotely interesting anymore. A year or two ago, I really, REALLY wanted them to succeed, but now I'd just rather see Christan and Angle back in the WWE. Also, guys like SHelly, Homicide, and Joe.
