Rats leaving the sinking ship

By
James Storm

Austin Aries
Low-Ki
Sam Shaw
Gunner (...)

Probably forgot someone (there's also rumours about Angle and Lashley...)

I've never experienced so many wrestlers leaving a company in such a short period of time (AWA in 1990?)

Does this bode well for TNA?

​I'm pretty sure everything is fine.  This sort of thing happens all the time with well-organized and financially solvent companies.  ​

    I've had posting priviledges for a couple years, I just hardly ever use them. The rare times now I have a chance to write something it's for P2B now and just gets cross-posted here but even that's been forever.

    TNA needs to add someone onto their roster to bring in more viewers! Someone the majority of wrestling fans would absolutely tune in every week to watch (even in a non-wrestling role). Someone like...


    The Rock
    Daniel Bryan
    The Undertaker
    Bully Ray

    So I saw Jurassic World, that was fun as hell. I was giddy as the kids walking out who were yelling "That was so cool, I wanna see it again!"

    And I marked out for Lauren Lapkus, she's awesome.

    "According to f4wonline.com, there is a lot of skepticism in the TNA locker room about the recent talent releases. TNA has kept the talent in the dark in the past regarding the company’s creative plans, and some believe that they are being kayfabed in regards a GFW invasion angle.

    – The TNA locker room is also said to be mentally burned out due to the recent string of TV tapings. Many are not looking forward to the July stretch of tapings, which are scheduled to last eight days.

    – There is also said to be heat between the talent and TNA management, due to management being perceived as phony. Over the last 18-months, Jeff Jarrett was buried and treated like public enemy #1 and then brought back in as if nothing was wrong."

    Well, it was bound to happen as he became an obnoxious TNA shill, but I saw he'd favourited a tweet of someone claiming Meltzer was trying to ruin TNA, and after tweeting him how disillusioned I was by this stuff, my childhood hero Billy Corgan blocked me on twitter. On my BIRTHDAY. TNA fan delusion is for kids, not respected artists. I AM DISILLUSIONED.

    Of course the money dictate it would happen, but it was not a film that lent itself to people WANTING one. Unlike something like 21 Jump St which had a good natural sequel hook built it in its last line.

    Magnus is also gone after the PPV.

    WWE used to have mass talent releases every year too. Have people already forgotten the unfolding sagas of "How is Funaki/JTG still employed"?

    What's interesting to me is how the business seems to be patterning itself after Japan where all these guys with enough name value see more upside in working as a free agent for the highest bidder than committing to one group for financial security.

    Seems the situation is basically you show up for the TV tapings once every 4-6 weeks, find out then what is happening creatively as it's being taped, then you go home and sit and wait for a check that's usually late. Even if ratings were good and the shows well received how could you ever really build a sense of pride or company loyalty? There's just no connection to it on a daily or even weekly basis.

    I swore it all off many years ago when I finally realized I just couldn't process it correctly. I'm certainly not the only one to be unable to do so. I did try it again last year when I went to see Gravity, and I did well enough due to most of the film being very easy on the eyes and mostly devoid of quick cuts and massive action sequences.

    That only really works for a selected group of people, and most of the big-time freelancers also had a main promotion where they wrestled 90% of the shows, and then also did show up on other promotions on occasion (Minoru Suzuki, Yoshihiro Takayama, Kensuke Sasaki, etc).

    Almost had a brawl at the wedding too. Another weddig party was a the hotel and the boyfriend of the groom's sister made a comment about their pizza as a joke and the other kid started flipping out like an asshole. So, the BF of the groom's sister almost beat the shit out of the kid. And that kid would have ended the fight in ten seconds flat.

    When I got married, I had to not invite the husband of my sister because we were afraid he would start a fight. He never approved of me dating a gentile and purposely tried to break us up several times. Everyone was afraid he would start a fight or say something inappropriate so we didn't invite him (got my sister's ok first). There was also a couple skinheads there (part of the bride's side of the family) but they were always cool with me and we actually got along great.

    I'm pretty sure James Storm just murdered Mickie James. Impact Wrestling was absolutely right to sever ties with this lunatic. Sam Shaw is a stalker. They did a good thing by releasing him. Low-ki - that personality test came back "warrior" one too many times to make anyone comfortable, so he had to go. Austin Aries - name one good match he's ever had. And Gunner - maybe this should go in the thread about Ric Flair not having a good eye for the business, but I always felt he was a bit off when he would refer to Gunner as "The Future." It was too soon to tell, Ric. Now, because you built him up too much, he's released. One more great Ric Flair call.

    As great as the Flair-Funk feud ended up being. . . what if it's Lex Luger who comes out after the Flair-Steamboat match at WrestleWar, piledrives Flair, and poses over his dead body with the belt? The storyline was already there. Luger was already heel and US champion. He watches Flair and Steamboat stealing the show repeatedly in the spot Lex thinks he should be in. Waits for Flair to be vulnerable after the Steamboat classic, then strikes.


    Great American Bash '89: Flair returns from neck injury way too soon and Luger finally beats him for the title, getting Luger's piledriver over as a killer.


    Havoc '89: Luger retains against Flair by escaping a cage. Flair starts a self-doubt/redemption story arc after failing again. He gets in Sting's corner, Rocky/Apollo-style, and endorses him as the future. Build to Luger vs. Sting for Starrcade


    Starrcade '89: Flair turns on Sting, Luger retains, in a heartbreaker. Flair & Luger finally found mutual respect through violence and Lex finally knows what it means to be a Horseman. Arn & Ole returned soon after, in early '90. Windham too. Brings it all full circle, with Luger as a "real" Horseman this time and Flair/Lex realizing they are more dominant together than feuding with each other. Both are jealous of Sting's rise to the top. * If Sting's knee still gets blown out, let the Horsemen (Flair/Luger/Windham/Arn, with Ole) dominate until the Bash' 90 return of Sting.


    Bash '90: Sting beats Luger for the title (Steiners, JYD, Pillman, Gigante help fend off the Horsemen)


    Havoc '90: Sting def. Luger in the rematch. Flair & Arn fail to win the Tag Titles. Windham is dominant US champ. Luger ends up with one foot out of the group again after failing to regain the title. Flair retakes his rightful spot as The Man in the Horsemen.


    Starrcade '90: Sting vs. Flair, NWA Title. Steiners vs. Arn/Windham, Tag Titles. Luger vs. Sid, for Lex's spot in the Horsemen (heel vs. heel, with Luger the rebellious anti-hero)


    WrestleWar '91: Sting, Steiners, & Pillman vs. Flair, Arn, Windham, & Sid, 'WarGames'
    - Luger insists that Sting let him on the team, but the faces don't trust Luger. They go with Pillman instead, who ends up getting murdered by Sid and company. Use this one to build Sid as the big challenger to Sting for the first SuperBrawl


    SuperShow: Flair vs. Fujinami for new "WCW Title". Sting & Luger vs. Steiners


    SuperBrawl: Sting vs. Sid, NWA Title. Flair vs. Fujinami for "WCW Title". Windham vs. Luger, heel vs. tweener. Arn vs. Pillman, TV Title (Brian's return from "injury")


    Great American Bash '91: Sting vs. Flair, NWA vs. WCW Titles. Luger vs. Windham final blow-off.

    If you look at the screen of a newer 3D movie without the glasses the elements that are in 3D are blurry: basically a double image. There is a layer in the lenses of the glasses that force your eyes to line the blurred images up, but also focus at different depths. It's a function that our eyes are technically capable of but not meant to do. It's taking a flat image and tricking our eyes into seeing it in layers, mimicking our natural stereoscopic depth of vision. The strain comes from your eyes & brain being forced to focus on objects at a distance closer than they actually are.
