The Wrestling Thread MUST End In Pinball Or Submission - - - - - Part 222

[famicommander]

He's got a fat guaranteed contract, and doesn't have to worry about injuring himself working a ridiculous schedule, plus gets to be with his kids more. I think he's feeling pretty good about where he's at.

Yeah, plus he knows he can likely go back to NXT if/when TNA dies, or possibly LU or ROH.

He'd do well pretty much anywhere. Right now he's getting paid well to work fewer dates in a promotion where he's comfortable and well loved.

The only benefits of working for WWE right now is the exposure to more fans, having more merchandise and the paychecks if you're pushed hard. Most performers probably prefer being on NXT.

You can get paid decently-great enough in Japan and Lucha Underground(most top stars earn more than they would in wwe).

If I was a wrestler, the wwe schedule and feeling restricted as a performer probably wouldn't make the money worth it to me unless I had Finn or Joe's spot on NXT

Fans in attendance said she worked with the supposed injury and Nia Jax even worked it. So I'm really hoping it's kayfabe.

Hopefully that is true, but then again Bayley is basically the female equivalent of John Cena or Triple H; if a shark bit off her arm in the middle of a match, she'd just sell it as kayfabe for the next 20 minutes and then have the trainer put a band-aid on it backstage later.

How much is that contract going to be worth if the company goes under? Hasn't TNA had problems in the past with paying their talent on time?

His contract is with Panda Energy, so even if TNA goes under (which, lets be real people have been saying since the company started, I'll believe it's going out of business when it goes out of business). But even if, Storm is still gonna get paid, think Sting and WCW, his Time Warner held his contract and he sat it out after WCW went under.

He works like 4-5 days taping with TNA, and has the rest of the month to be with his family or take indy bookings. He doesn't regret a damn thing.

Is it weird that I read that in James Storm's voice?

Sorry about your damn luck

On this day,

John Cena defeated Shawn Michaels, Edge, and Randy Orton to retain the WWE Championship at Backlash 2007 from the Phillips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

John Cena defeated Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules 2012 from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.




Re: Eric Young

Never cared for him, but that's cool he joined WWE. Brutus Magnus, come on down!

Well, the Kurt Angle one is interesting...

Sounds like the Bill Goldberg DVD. Most of his matches, but no documentary.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So Rollins is going to be backstage at Payback on Sunday.

Cena did not defeat Brock Lesnar.....he survived against him by the skin of his teeth.

Bret Hart is cockoo for CoCoa Puffs. Doing interviews bashing Triple H for having no wrestling genius and not being a fan of real wrestling, then he praises NXT Dallas....yeah the guy's I.Q. is off the charts.

It's got to be a work. He probably forgot he's supposed to hate Triple H when praising NXT.

 

[Wheels]

He does it all at the same time. It's hilarious. He must be bashing Trips because he's keeping kayfabe but all NXT fans know who runs it. Hunter is a face down there.

So Rollins is going to be backstage at Payback on Sunday.

I don't know if he'll make an appearance, but moving foward I feel like AJ's going to feud with the Balor Club (I think they'll cause him to lose at Payback) and Roman will feud with Rollins.

 

[Dr. Evil]

So who's going to be that next cocky and arrogant wrestler (male or female) that the WWE Universe will love?

Cockiness and arrogance made the WWE Universe love the Rock.

Ric Flair terminated his podcast with CBS over money issues. Woo Nation debuted nearly a year ago on May 6, 2015, with his first guest being Kurt Angle. He has recorded 46 episodes of the show, with the most recent being from Dallas at WrestleMania on Friday, April 1st.

Well, it was fun hearing The Nature Boy put himself over for countless hours!

Cena did not defeat Brock Lesnar.....he survived against him by the skin of his teeth.

Cena "cheated".

Bret Hart is cockoo for CoCoa Puffs. Doing interviews bashing Triple H for having no wrestling genius and not being a fan of real wrestling, then he praises NXT Dallas....yeah the guy's I.Q. is off the charts.

Nah, it's just that Hart has zero respect for Helmsley for being a freaking scumbag his whole WWF/E career. Helmsley just puts up with it being professional and all. It's hilarious really.

But even if, Storm is still gonna get paid, think Sting and WCW, his Time Warner held his contract and he sat it out after WCW went under.

WCW didn't go out of business though, they just got bought by a rival company.

I'm also not sure about that Panda Energy thing. Last I heard Panda Energy (or to be more exact Dixies parents) washed their hands of the company some times ago. If TNA was still getting Panda Energy funding they wouldn't of had to relocate their offices because PE would at least pay for the basic operating costs.

 

[nite-owl]

kyle Edwards has left WWE.

 

[Slushy]

TNA can't even pay some of their employees.

 

[nite-owl]

TNA can't even pay some of their employees.

“Bobby Roode and Eric Young left because they were owed a combined six-figures,” Herro said. “How do you not pay those two guys? You let Bobby Roode go, a guy who could have gone to WWE but he wanted to be loyal to the company. Thank God he left. He’ll be a big star in NXT. He’ll make the main roster in a year from now. Same with Eric Young.”

[Wylie Times]

Hell, if TNA was still getting funding from Panda Energy AJ Styles would have never left. Every time one of their top stars leaves it's because of a lack of money.

I hope everything works out for James Storm and I'm sure the schedule is much easier, but TNA doesn't look at all like a financially stable situation.
