Morale is down again. There is now a real divide between the star group (Nash, Sting, Angle, Christian, Jarrett) and the rest of the roster. The star group not only get more money but also have a seperate dressing room to the rest of the workers.

So the Billionaire's Club will be returning when exactly?

So that they don't get shivved for having the company pay for their hotels and rentals while the midcard has to do that themselves? I dunno.

Make LAX's gimmick that they bring in whoever they need, whenever they need them. Build up 6-man tags or 8-man tags where they need one or two guys, using Apolo, Machete, etc. Then get guys like Romero or Reyes. Then get a Senshi in as a coup de grace, letting the iMpact zone see the cop killa/ghetto stomp combo, followed by someone being border tossed to hell and back. But the hting is, keep the core group only Cide and Hernandez. That way, the group looks powerful, like they have the name and reputation to just call up random Latin wrestler and have them show up for one offs. And booking-wise, it means that a conflict for one guy means, fine, we don't book him for that show. We'll get Rocky Romero instead.

So in other words, LAX gets its own B-Team.

LAX should be like the FBI used to be. Bring in black guys, asian guys, rednecks, and just say they're all Latin

I wish guys like Sting and Jarrett would be the ones to kind of kill the billionaires club. They're both seasoned veterans with long tenures in the biggest companies and would probably have a positive impact on guys like Angle and Christian with the special treatment thing with a seperate dressing room and such. When RVD comes in, I actually bet he has a positive effect because I don't think he'll mesh well with the upper echelon of stars.

As for Konnan, still sad as hell. Glad to hear the E is letting Misterio go do a benefit show... I do hope however that he will compete like WCW Misterio and not this baggy pants, 619 Misterio, since he's in Mexico.

All this talk about TNA getting more people makes me wonder...how do they afford all of this? Aren't they already in the hole?

I have heard people babble about Lita, Goldberg, Chris Jericho, etc. coming to TNA. Angle rambling about Hogan & Big Show? What the heck.

[Michael Coello]

With all of the people talking about how much of the WWE version of the report is bullcrap, I think there should be equal or lesser calls for this.

Well, with the wrong date or shows listed, misspellings and, things that are in contradiction to other things I have read, I do think most of this is wrong. However from what I have read in the WWE one, Meltzer knows all and WWE TNA is just confused on what they are doing.

Nah, last I heard TNA was turning a small profit, or at least breaking even. They're not out of the red yet due to having years of losses while under Panda Energy, but they're making some of the investment back, finally.

Still, I half-believe some of this stuff. I could easily see it being chaotic backstage, but I could also easily see about half of this stuff never coming to fruition.

I hope the seperate dressing rooms is bullcrap

That's idiotic if true

[NIXON]

Brother Ray has a lot of heat over the last PPV match with LAX over eating up Homicide.

I know nothing of this. Blubber Ray stiffed Homicide?

[Reverend BTY]

I'd wanna see Julius Smokes in LAX to replace Konnan. I mean, they tried to recruit Ron Killings who last I checked isn't latino.
