Awesome. I always loved Mickie, and after meeting her a few times, love her even more.

 

[Wheels]

Mickie was definitely one of my favorites so I'm excited she's wrestling one of my current favorites and my WWE crush Asuka.

So another one from when I watched ROH in it's epic greatness is now in the WWE. I started watching ROH from 2005-2008 which included:

- AJ Styles
- Austin Aires
- Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan)
- Claudio Castagnoli (Cesaro)
- El Generico (Sami Zayn)
- Kenta (Hideo Itami)
- Kevin Steen (Kevin Owens)
- Roderick Strong
- Samoa Joe
- Tyler Black (Seth Rollins)

Plus you have Adam Pearce and Sara Del Rey as trainers and coaches at the WWE Performance Center. Also, watch.....as soon as Christopher Daniels retires, I bet the WWE brings him in as a coach at the PC. Kazarian, Hero and Cabana were all victims of bad timing, IMO. Nigel McGuinness had a failed physical and instead ended up in TNA.

With Survivor Series coming up, it would be totally awesome to see all of those former ROH guys in one picture and have the WWE post it on Instagram. All of those guys were in ROH at one point. It's unbelievable to thing that those guys that I watched battle each other in ROH are now in the WWE a decade later.

The Fight Network is who funded Bound For Glory and recent week of tapings. Turns out Dixie owes Corgan and he wants her gone from TNA yet she doesn't want give up her majority share of the company!

Yeah, definitely HOLY SH**!!!

 

[Wheels]

Go away, Dixie. Please.

Although I never was a fan of his. I wonder why Magnus never got a try out with the WWE.

 

[NDX]

Mickie James had a great match at the Elk's Lodge with Mercedes Martinez I still remember to this day. Looking forward to this match and wish I was crossing the border to see it.

I'd like to take this opportunity to formally apologize to Michael Hayes. A while back I made comments about the Freebirds not being as worthy of being in the WWE Hall of Fame as others. It was unfair for me to dismiss their contributions to the industry and they certainly did great things in Texas with the Von Erich Family. Michael Hayes always treated me with great respect, as did Terry Gordy, Ronnie Garvin and Buddy Roberts and I'm sorry if I disrespected any of them with my comments. Furthermore I apologize to both Triple H and Seth Rollins for any hurtful comments I made on my podcast. The reality of all this is the reason I quit doing podcasts in general, because they're for the most part an outlet for negativity, and have left me with a reputation as being angry and bitter. I'm not, I'd spoke candidly and openly but it's no excuse for minimizing other wrestlers or their contributions. In saying all that, I still believe Jim the Anvil Neidhart of the Hart Foundation, including Owen, Brian Pillman, Davey Boy Smith, The Dynamite Kid, The Rougeau Brothers, The Killer Bees, The Demolition, Rick Rude, King Kong Bundy, and One Man Gang all deserve their place in the WWE Hall of Fame. My apologies to all.

Go away, Dixie. Please.

We need to get #FireDixie trending on social media.

They should sign Mickie and a couple other women vets to NXT. The women's roster down there is pretty thin and could use some veteran women to help the green women coming through.

Remember when people said the WWE talent pool was thin a few years ago? WWE is stacked with talent now. Guys no one thought would even be in the WWE are now holding the titles.

 

[Mani-Man]

The Podcast didnt really do Bret any good, you could feel that his opinion etc got more and more negative as time passed.
But he absolutly shouldnt apologize to Hayes...Michael Hayes is a disgusting human being and shouldnt work for the wwe.
I hate him.

Anyway...
Dixie continues to push the knife deeper in.
She rather sees the company burn then to leave.
Corgan is the best thing that could happen to TNA, if he leaves or anything...TNA is done.
I hope the people in charge see that.

Yup, NXT is really thin on the woman.
Especially with Asuka as champion.
She is a wall that is extremely hard to climb, even the main roster woman would have problems.
The current NXT woman are nowhere near the level of Bayley, Charlotte, Becky etc(except Ember Moon).
They need a lot of time and build up to be in the same league.
Having Mickie someone like Victoria etc in there...would help.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I could buy a "cagey veteran" like Mickey James or Victoria taking the NXT title off Asuka, and then a greenhorn like Liv Morgan or Mandy Rose taking the title off the veteran, rather than have to buy into a booking decision of someone like Liv or Mandy going over Asuka.

Exclusive: Who Funded TNA’s Latest Tapings, Dixie Owes Corgan Money


By David Bixenspan on October 13, 2016

In the new lawsuit filed by Audience of One Productions against TNA, there’s a note about how the debt that TNA (technically the Impact Ventures parent company) owes Aroluxe Media is on file with the Tennessee Secretary of State. If you look up Impact Ventures in the relevant database, you get three debts registered by the company:

• Both the previous TNA Entertainment and the newer Impact Ventures owing Aroluxe Media as of March 14th, the debut noted above.
• Impact Ventures owing Anthem Sports and Entertainment Corp., one of the parent companies of The Fight Network, as of August 22nd, which had been previously reported.
• Impact Ventures owing MCC Acquisition Corp. (shares the same address, down to the suite, as Anthem and numerous other related companies) as of September 30th, the Friday before Bound For Glory and the latest batch of TV tapings. This is the new one, and it sure looks like they funded the latest batch of shows.

It’s been difficult to find any information on MCC Acquisition Corp, but everything else at their address (171 East Liberty Street, Suite 230 in Toronto) is related to Anthem/The Fight Network in some form. There are a couple companies involved that “MCC” could stand for, though it could just be a new shell created for this transaction. Why the latest round of funding wouldn’t have gone through Anthem again is unclear, and if it was for secrecy, they didn’t do the best job of covering their tracks.
However, this gets a LOT more interesting.
When you search for Dixie Carter (who is legally Dixie Carter Salinas, her married name), you get this, which was filed Tuesday morning (October 11th):

Yes, as of Tuesday, Dixie Carter officially owes Billy Corgan money personally.
The address given for Corgan appears to be that of the offices of Smashing Pumpkins Machine, his company. A day later, on Wednesday, as reported earlier today (Thursday), Corgan sued Impact Ventures, TNA Entertainment, TNA COO and CFO Dean Broadhead, Dixie Carter Salinas, and her husband Serg Salinas. Being that everything filed so far in the lawsuit is sealed from public view, we can’t be 100% sure what this is about yet, but the two issues sure look like they’re related.


I have reached out to Dixie Carter’s known email addresses as well as TNA proper for comment, and will update this article if she replies.
