    can't be made fun of Prestigious

    getting rid of D'Amore will forever be a bummer and i think limits TNA's immediate growth, but it seems like they are happy with the roster if nothing else and if they understand it on that level then maybe there's hope

    I'm curious to see if AEW or WWE try to hire D'Amore. Be interesting to see what he does next

    Memories are nice, but that's all they are. Prestigious

    I’d be curious if he would go to AEW/WWE knowing how little power he would probably have in either.

    he would be a huge asset for either company

    One of my favorite things to ever happen in wrestling is how seemingly the entire IWC pounded the table for a decade plus about how much Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn absolutely sucked at their jobs and how much better WWE would be without them and a bunch of weirdos were obsessed with calling them dorks and saying they couldn't possibly know what running a successful business could ever look like only to learn years later, that, indeed, Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn absolutely sucked at their jobs and WWE is unequivocally drastically better in virtually every way without them and that is backed up by all the numbers that actually matter.

    Suffice to say, the new production changes are great. Feels like an entirely different product.

    Dunn was the guy behind most of the Jim Ross bullying, right? He can get fucked.

    Yep. He was pretty much an extension of Vince, for all intents and purposes. He deserves credit for modernizing the product and creating a successful vision, just like Vince deserves credit for what he initially did with the company. They both far out-lived their usefulness, though.
     
  7. I guess Sting was asking a bunch of his friends to be present for his final match and at least Nash was told no by WWE that he couldn't attend (I'm assuming due to his legends deal)

    Yeah saw that earlier. He sounded legit bummed, it's a shame. He said he wasn't even expecting to DO anything, he just wanted to attend and be in the crowd.

    What an absolutely weird thing to say to Sheamus, of all people.

    I’ve got tickets to dynamite tomorrow (and to finally put @wade out of his misery live on TBS) but I’ve been dealing with a back issue for weeks now and I’m not certain I could walk from parking into the venue

    sucks
