On another note, I read in a Mid Atlantic Fanfest report on this very board that Sunny has a new 20-30 year old indy wrestling boyfriend so she clearly hasn't learnt her lesson.
I was pulling for her through the prison thing I read she was moving to New Mexico and I thought it was for a new start and that she'd casually work an indy date or two a year and get her life back on track but sadly she's gone back to the same old habits she used to have.
I have now given up on her.

Poor Morgan couldn't ever catch a break in 2013 TNA.

Oh I know that my point is she should of tried everything to prevent it happening include birth control, contraception etc. It really throws a spanner into the works for TNA. I'm going to wait for her side before jumping on her for it though. Given how you're for TNA scrapping the KO division, one would think you'd be pleased. But yeah, this is one of those situation where there isn't a side to take, women sometimes get pregnant at less than convenient times in their careers and TNA knew there was a chance of this happening when they started showcasing female talent. I doubt they expect Taryn to explain herself or apologise for it so why should anyone else? Don't want to start a debate on this but I don't think TNA should scrap the Kncokout division, in that other thread I simply stated if the product was catered to me and only me I'd want no Knockouts. I understand people like them and it sucks for people who were hoping for a big Taryn victory at BFG.

I don't see how it's defending TNA. I just think if someone has a plan in place for you professionally and they pay you money in exchange for a service you should be providing that service. Why not tell Dixie around this time "Hey I want to have a child soon" and win the title at BFG drop it a couple months later and then have the time off? It's definitely cool she's having a child but extremely unprofessional to have it right now. The only excuse is if she didn't know what TNA had planned for her in which case I'll retract my "She's unprofessional" statement. Too be fair, she mightn't have planned to have a child. Accidental pregnancies can still happen - even if you use protection. Unless she comes out and says it was all planned - which is really a bad time to plan to have a child after a company has big plans for you - then we won't know. Oh I know that my point is she should of tried everything to prevent it happening include birth control, contraception etc. It really throws a spanner into the works for TNA.

It's a touchy subject but I think if she knew about the plan in advance the least she could of done was practice safe sex and not ruin TNA's booking plans. Are you freaking serious right now? Good god, the lengths you'll go to defend TNA... Anyway, congrats to her. I don't see how it's defending TNA.

I've mentioned this here RE: Jeff/Jackie before but Jefferson had sex with his slave so sleeping with a black woman doesn't disqualify you from being a racist. And yeah. Growing up in Tennessee in the 60s/70s makes you much more likely to be a racist than most other states. Not saying Jarrett is racist since I have no clue but it wouldn't shock me is all. My ex-stepdad was MARRIED to a black woman before he married my mom for awhile and he's very overtly racist. Not even the casual type of racism a social justice type like myself watches out for like an actual overt racist. So yeah, agreed that Jarrett dating Jackie for awhile doesn't disqualify him from being a racist. However from what I've seen in this thread I'd say Jarrett has a pretty good track record regarding race and I wouldn't be comfortable calling him a racist without more evidence. What IS the evidence towards him being a racist anyway? I only heard about the thing he said to Killing that was apparently an injoke taken out of context. Anything else? Hell I'd leavy the point that TNA under Jarrett's management had a better track record of pushing black wrestlers than the WWE has had . Ahmed Johnson claims Jarrett is racist also.

If Jarrett were racist do you all think he would of put over Monty Brown and to a lesser extent D-Von Dudley in the past? Not to mention Ron Killings and giving Booker T the biggest victory of his life at one stage. Cowboy Bill Watts was someone who held some extreme views when it came to race relations but had Junkyard Dog as a main event draw in his promotion and made Ron Simmons a World champion in WCW. As with a lot of things in life, the color green overrides personal feelings. And Booker T winning the WCW title was a Russo decision not Double J. Jarrett didn't have to do the job though, he very easily could of convinced Russo to let him win. Those two were (And still are) close friends.

It's embarrassing to be honest. Nothing sadder about hearing some wrestler you used to love is now some jerk off crying over a couple hundred bucks or something.

The thing is, I absolutely never get the impression that Virgil HAS to do what he does to afford rent. I think he just A: Likes the connection to his old job that conventions bring, B: Has very little shame, and C: Is stingy. Why doesn't he just wrestle on the indy circuit? Even the lowest, bush league promotions would probably pay a pretty penny for Virgil. I could see tons of promotions using him if the price was right (Few hundred bucks) I mean Zach Gowen gets at least 1 booking a week why not Virgil?

So why not create a private Facebook page for out of state guests and people who cannot make it to the wedding? Also, there was rumbling about the site being created to ask fans in a round about way to chip in for the wedding. Not surprising considering that she was asking fans for gifts for Valentine's Day over twitter. Don't forget season 1 and 2 of Haven You act like there the only people who ever made a site for there wedding. How was it created for fans when you CAN BOOK AT HOTEL ROOM on there. Nobody still can defend that. There could be a rumble about it being created for that reason but prove that it was is a different thing. There was nothing on that site that said any of what people are claiming. If you can't make it fine buy a gift if you are out of town but can make it. You get the hotel room. Yet nobody seems to understand that part. Who to say everyone has a facebook to begin with. Not everyone does. Who says everyone has internet to begin with? Not everyone does. Also, The Hotel is easily explained. The Hotel would have a list of the people invited to get the room package deal so if anyone else tried to book in under the Hardy name they'd be denied. Sure, People could book a room for normal room rates but who is really booking a hotel room and trying to enter a wedding that they're not invited too? It's CLEARLY a cash grab from the loyal Hardy and Sky fans. Fan girls will buy Matt gifts and fan boys will buy Reby gifts.

But Hardcore Justice this Thursday (Friday for me) is going to be an amazing show and probably one of the best free to air wrestling shows of the year.
I think Bully/Sabin is going to be great and probably very brutal. If you give them 20 minutes and have Sabin do some crazy stuff inside the cage whilst Bully savagely tries to use the cage to beat him down you have the grounds for a great match.
The possible Match of the Year contender between AJ/Aries/Kaz/Hardy will be great also and with the ladder in play could be a massive spot fest (In a good way) I think this will be a definite MOTN but if it's given proper time a definite Match of the Year contender.
Magnus/Joe/Roode/Anderson in a tables match is interesting but I think again, if given time it could be really decent and PPV esque which is what they're going for.
All in all, TNA is giving a PPV level card away for free on Television and it's looking a lot better than Destination X did. Kudos to TNA for giving these types of matches away for free because it's something that is hardly ever seen on TV anymore.
What is everyone's thoughts on this show?

I think he won it because he just wanted to beat some ass and doing it under hardcore rules was the easiest option for him.
I liked it, gave some prestige to the belt and Taker did good work with it.

This is disturbing, the dude could be a pedophile for all anyone knows. That must have been a total mindtrip for the parents though to see the camera turn towards them. That was my first thought also. Someone hacking a baby monitor probably has an unhealthy interest in children.
