They should go to gayew and I should kill myself
Why are people fleeing the company when they just got a massive tv deal?
Odd news. WWE already fired two of them so they probably aren't going there. They are absolutely the last thing AEW needs right now. And Ace Austin, who just arrived in AEW, is already just being wasted. It's very weird that TNA is losing people right as they are about to start a new TV deal. Usually, this is when people would stay and you'd start spending money.
>>19679421>Ace Austin, who just arrived in AEW, is already just being wastedthis is very disappointing. does meltzer not like him or something? his one chance at a match he killed it with fletcher. idgi. bcg/bbg is cursed.
Number 2 promotion ahh shh lmaooooo
>>19679411Because of the WWE involvement
MORE NEW TOYS!
>>19679397loltna
>>19679411AMC is not giving TNA that much money and they are wasting that money on ex-WWE guys like the hardys and n word nic
>>19679397more black twinks for hbgay
>>19679411>>19679421Tko doesn't care about tna, they did it just to damage aew. Also tna ceos are jews who don't want to pay talent money and just saw this as an opportunity to earn even more.
>>19679556They already washed out of NXT.Sorry to ruin your cuck fantasies.
>>19679421get a job nigga
This is the current card for Impact btw
>>19679568maybe you're right, he's more into college femboys now
>>19679528Y doe?Tony barely cares about the niggerinos already on his roster. Aside from Swerve and Mone he could not give less of a shit about them and would banish them all to the Honor Realm if he could without it being too obvious.
>>19679397These guys suck and clearly weren't getting back to WWE. They're dimeless flippy shitters who I'm sure will take Tony's pocket change
>>19679411They were both already in WWE though and both got fired. There's a very, very, very slim chance of making it back to WWE by staying in TNA. Can only even say as much because of Ryder recently. Before him it wasn't happening. So unless TNA is a ceiling they're happy with then they're better off in the toybox. They're flippy shitter retards too so good riddance
>>19679421they got lowballed and bailed or tk is just gonna buy out a bunch of talent to fuck with tna
>>19679411Tony is afraid of potentially losing to TNA, so hes poaching their talen
>>19679646I guess its only tampering when Triple Nose and Big Nick Khan do it.
>>19679646This is why Tony needed to be rich to stop the monopoly and if TNA didn't sign up for indentured servitude with TNA they'd be doing the same thing. Meanwhile they're still poaching their talent it's just done via the cuck chair method ala Grace, Hendry and soon Leon.
>>19679397I'm being serious when I say this, if Tony signs these dweebs, I may quit AEW
>>19679646Meanwhile WWE is making TNKEK take Leon Slater off TV this week so they can use him for their UK shows
what the hell is up with this company man
>>19679992tna is basically gonna be matt and jeff with some bottom of the totem pole nxt/evolve guys on loan, no. 2 company btw
>>19680005The number 2 thing is crazy. Just goes to show how little momentum AEW has right now for this TNA to be so highly regarded in comparison.
>>19680011sprinkle a lil bit of bubba lard on comms and we got ourselves a stew!
>>19680011they get close to half of smackdown with a simulcastnot sure what you expect
>>19680048Will be interesting to see what TNA does once the TV show goes live.
>>19679397I believe the theories that Vince and Tony are secretly working together to destroy all non-wwe promotions.
>>19679397these guys are just a shittier version of the slimeballz
>>19679397>Tony contract tampering and poaching from fucking TNA for guys he can exile in ROH purgatory because he hates them in general and specifically to fuck them over ahead of their AMC debutTHE MOST HECKIN' WHOLESOME MAN IN WRESTLING!
>>19680131TK is better suited to be his successor imo
>>19680114They're never going live full-time pal. Their new deal isn't even 10 milly a year and they can barely afford to keep hold of their talent >>19680137Contracts expired sorry piggie
>>19679436Tony hates TNA and just wants to fuck them over because his heroes Meltzer and Brian never liked them. Remember the "partnership" that was basically just Tony constantly shitting on TNA and his brilliant plans of having AEW guys come in, win all of TNA's belts and then never dropping them to TNA wrestlers? Sammy was supposed to win and then eventually vacate the X-Division title, Kenny won the main belt and then dropped it to Christian so he wouldn't have to lose to a TNA guy.Now that they're acual competition for AEW he has even more reason to raid and fuck with them.
>>19680137TNA sold their souls to the devil, imagine me having sympathy for Leonard Aspers Anthem LLC
>>19680151Haha I didn't mean live as in it being a live show. It's a figure of speech.
>>19680114I do see TNA starting out quite hot on TV. People are yearning for an alternative after AEW's failure. Whether or not they can keep the momentum is a different matter.
>>19680185the premier is in two days and there's no buzz
>>19680131I've believed that for a long time. AEW seems like they don't even want to beat WWE, and both companies are owned by homosexual semites. if tony were a real muslim like the iron sheik, that would be different, but tony is nothing like that.
>>19679397THE BAD GUYS:WWE: owned by semites AEW: owned by semitesTNA: owned by semitesAAA: owned by semitesGCW: owned by the gayest semite in the worldMLW: owned by semitesOVW: partly owned by a semitethe above is the trash (((they))) want you to consume. this, and nothing else, because they own all of this.
Ibou says they are going to aew
SRS says they are the mystery persons behind the vignettes in Stardom.
>>19680262no he didnt
>>19680011no it goes to show how enslaved most people are to the approval of the TV companies. TNA is putting on horrible shows filled with boring shitters that nobody cares about, while humiliating and debasing themselves at the feet of WWE, and yet they are still the #2 or #3 promotion solely and ONLY because they're on TV. Without a TV deal, TNA becomes a fourth-rate indie. and they only have that TV deal because of (((who))) owns them.
>>19679397This is not good for TNA. They have a TV deal now, but their roster is dire and getting worse. >>19680152I actually believe this. It would not shock me at all if Tony is intentionally trying to sign as many TNA guys as he can right now specifically to fuck with them. He's a jilted ex-lover.
>>19680278He did live on self made like two hours ago nigger
>>19680293TNA's not good. They have some good wrestlers (or at least they did recently) but the creative absolutely sucks. Their PPVs are usually really good, even if some of the results seem incomprehensible, but Impact is frankly a rough show to get through a lot of the time. If they didn't have the relationship with WWE, they'd be basically dead at this point.
>>19680303TNA is being used as a pawn in a proxy war. Tony has every right to fuck with them.
>>19680352I wonder if he tells New Japan, "This is what I'll do to you if you ever fucking leave me!" Well, I guess he's already doing it now.
>TNA: We coming for that number 2 Tony. You better watch out! :)>Tony: OK I'll treat you like competition then :)>TNA: AHHHH Tony this is so unfair why are you doing this? Shawn can we have some of your jobbers please Tony is acting like a meanie :(
>>19680385kek why would they leave?
>>19679992Debut him as MJF's shabbos goy lackey and have him cut promo about how true American patriots support Israel. He can then destroy Hangman in 30 seconds.
>>19679421Because TNGay is just controlled opposition. The roster and cards don't matter, Carlos Silva has already been paid and there's enough washed bums to fill 2 hour shows every week.
>>19680185TNA has a terrible roster, there's no way they get a good rating past the first week, there's no reason to tune in
>>19679597> 2 former AEW midcarders>guy who's been with WWE longer than he was with TNA at this point>NXT era washout tag team>WWE 2018 roster castoffsGrim
These are all Don Callis / Scott D'Amore guys, D'Amore has no official affiliation with AEW but he hates WWE so it's obvious what's going on
>>19680152> the "partnership" that was basically just Tony constantly shitting on TNA and his brilliant plans of having AEW guys come in, win all of TNA's belts and then never dropping them to TNA wrestlers? Not sure how that's any different from what's happening now
>>19679397All of this after Santana's rah rah speech about AEW being the evil, soul sucking company kek
>>19679421it's not weird when even AEW Collision costs 600k to produce. TNA getting 10 mill means fuck all with production costs, they don't have the money to pay for a roster of wrestlers.
>>19680507I should start watching AEW again. I've been missing Ace Austin so I'm sure I'll be able to enjoy him on a weekly basis over there at AEW.
>>19680507santana's wild ride of being right there on the cusp on that ppv in ny where the whole state was rallying behind him but loses, then wins the title eventually on a mild massachusetts crowd that half was already gone because they only showed up for the hardys/dudleys, later he goes mia for a whole month of tapings only to resurface to lose his first title defense to frankie kazarian
Reminder, AEW gave TNA lifeline during Covid. Their biggest show of 2020 was a main event between Eric Young and Rich Swann. Tony let them have belt collector Kenny for 6 months. WWE let them have Pillman Jr who lost in 7 seconds on Speed a few weeks after arriving in TNA as a part of a big heel group. TNA fans are seemingly oblivious to how cucked they are right now. Sad.
>>19680516>TNA doesn't have the money to keep wrestlers they already had, now that they're making more money than everPoop Dick Wrestling fans, everyone. They actually believe counterfactual, contradictory stupid shit like this.
>>19680749if they could afford it they wouldn't have 10+ contracts expiring despite putting them on the advertisements for the first episode.
>>19680761We had an entire thread for this already, every single person on the roster had a poster generated. Every single jobber, literally everyone.
>>19680458Does TNA still work off taping shows? At this point TNA should probably look into cutting deals with Mexican and Japanese promotions to see if they can bring guys in for tapings then send them back. At the very least it'd supplement the roster a hair.
>>19680777They had been taping PPV+2, or 3 TV shows at a time, quite a bit. Now it looks like they'll do a 1+1 schedule for a while. They're clearly trying to cut costs to bring in more investors at an increased valuation, can't get to that increased valuation by overpaying role players and insisting on going live every week
>>19680777I don't see any kind of Japan partnership being viable but AAA would be a great partner
>>19680798the TNA roster is bad overall but the knockouts are, in particular, especially horrid. AAA doesn't have many female wrestlers signed, they need to hit rossy and meiko up for some talent.
>>19679397Knowing TNA, they're giving Jericho half their money and letting him run the place like they did with Hogan
>>19679397The TNA roster is paper thin without NXT guys. Tony has done a number on them
>>19680830They'd need to stay in the US for a while for that to be viable, they're not flying them to Florida and back every 2 weeks. Not a terrible idea on TNAs end since their midcard would clear the current girls and teach them a thing or two.
>>19680830>>19680869problem is that all them visas aint cheap, who's gonna foot the bill for those
>>19681032how much does a visa cost
>>19680798google says it varies, this amc debut seems more haphazard than we all realize
TNA is about to have the least impressive roster of any wrestling show with a TV deal ever
>>19681146NXT and Wrestling Society X had literal fucking whos when they started. The same ones actually since Seth Rollins was a nobody shitter on both shows.
>>19681131yeah visas have been fucking everyone with delays over the last few years too and that's for wrestlers with contracts to billion dollar companies
>>19679397wtf is tna spending all of their new money on?
>>19681157you can't compare the 2012 nxt roster to 2026 tna broshit, people could call the current era of wrestling the shield era and no one would seriously argue it people will glaze this like we glaze ovw for cena, lesnar and orton today
>>19681157Looking at the Wrestling Society X roster and it's really not far away lol. Tyler Black, Jimmy Jacobs, Masato Yoshino, Matt Sydal, Colt Cabana, Vampiro, TJP, Scorpio Sky.
Elitechad here, why didn't TNA go for the WWE rejects that are running the indie circuit in MLW or GCW now? There was some amount of buzz around Kross at the time he left, and his issue with TNA was with Callis who isn't there anymore, and Dijak would also liven up the roster a bit. They could even use Shitzi and PK.
>>19679397I can't give a shit about zoomer wrestlers they all look and wrestle like CAWs
>>19680445SHEKELS
>>19680185Alternative how? It’s booked almost exactly like WWE. At least AEW is booked for obese cagematch smarks
Thank God
>>19680133The cocaine acne on these fucking reprobates.
>>19682974Vecna lookin' ass
>>19682526they probably can't afford themgenuinely feels like MLW would be able to lock all those guys down before TNA
>>19683253well maybe if TNA could create some entertaining characters like the slimeballs, they wouldn't have to open up their assholes for WWE just to stay in business. WHY is pretty much every TNA guy a generic first-name-last-name no-gimmick jabroni? There is literally nothing to make me remember guys like frankie kazarian and mike santana. FUCKING BORING.
>>19679421Could be going to WWE as well or just roaming indies/japan for a while. I don't think Wes/Dezmond was fired from WWE, he just didn't sign the extension if one was offered so I don't think he was burning bridges that way. Obviously Shawn and Lee have shown interest in featuring the Rascalz on NXT tv before even the major crossovers were a thing so it's not out of the picture that they would show up on WWE again, but most likely not in NXT
>>19679602he just wants to fill out the ROH roster so it starts to feel like a proper promotion and not just AEW Dark behind a paywall
>>19679597>AJ STYLES RETURNS!!!! (to cut a 30 second promo)
>>19680445MJF should bring in Hammerstone and reform The Dynasty but Tony is afraid of dimes
>>19679403Kek
I don't think people realise how doomed TNA is. Talent are leaving and will be replaced with NXT geeks, but even if they do away with that and sign a bunch of indie talent and unknowns, WWE will just take them when they want because Nick Khan's buddy has already said he's happy to get talent to WWE and if despite all this TNA manages to thrive, WWE have an agreement in place allowing them to buy the company within the next 2 years anyway. TNA in the chair and spreading their cheeks. Absolutely grim situation.
>>19680185>the alternative to WWE is WWE-Lite with wrestlers signed by WWE that aren't good enough to make it to Raw or Smackdown
>be TNA>enough money to hire just about anyone from the indies>enough TV exposure to get a gimmick over>HEY I KNOW LET'S PUT THE TITLE ON BOB JONES THE GENERIC GUY IN PLAIN TRUNKS WHO CAN'T CUT A PROMO BUT HE HAS LE HECKIN BANGERINOS EVERY NIGHT!
>>196795973 matches?
>>19684521WWE want Leon Slater so his match was dropped from the card. Also Perez Hilton is doing something.
they got the TV deal, but lets be real it is really really not lucrative. it ain't gonna let them offer big money, they're gonna get picked off by WWE. i dunno what AMC wants from them in terms of product.
>>19684575the TV deal was a trap, AMC is owned by the same tribe that owns WWE.
>>19683263they would be stupid to take a few dollars more instead of a company with TV and a pipeline back to the fed
>>19680475>D'Amore has no official affiliation with AEWhis new tranny fed in Canada has an AEW partnership, AEW titles have been defended on it before
