We'll see if their "interest" translates into cold hard cash, because between NJPW and ROH, AJ is making more than your average indy guy.

Considering the leaked memo revealing that TNA wasn't being renewed in September, this wrestling bloc looks to be a VERY limited-time offer.

June to September, I'd say.  And no one told TNA's staff or performers about the surprise neighbors moving in next door, so that seems to follow the narrative of Destination America looking to trade up from TNA to the rising stars in ROH with their strong ties with New Japan.

Hmmmmm maybe more of a method to the madness ...  What would happen, if talent. Was able to interact between the brands?
May be more going on behind the scenes, than has been leaked.
What if it helped gain attention/ viewers to both brands.
Then maybe an inter promotional rivalry ... To spark more interest.  Kind of like the old Monday night wars .. With the action, all on one night/ same channel?

ROH seems to have different set up, as to how talent can appear.
Have seen something, to the fact. Way contracts are done. Even if Samoa Joe goes mainstream WWE.
He would still be able to do some ROH events.
No idea, to the truth of that. Just saw it online.

Well, the tales out of school seem to say that Joe's NXT contract was a per-appearance sort of gig where he could indeed take indy bookings while still being part of the NXT storyline - BUT apparently his sales from his one T-shirt on the store were SO GOOD that Vince and H rushed to get him signed to a full-time deal which might be more like a standard contract.

Still, though, it's a friggin' awesome time to be a wrestling fan.

Think we have them here in town tonight .... Would not be able to make, due to work schedule. Lost so much personal, and vacation time. With the forced move, and death in the family ... Did not have it to burn, to leave early or take the day.

Freight Train ......   Think this is right ....  Old school .. Band think was called Nitro  .... Actually had s song something like freight train or freight train coming.
May want to try search for it .. Could be your go to entry theme.

Global Force wrestling ... New young gun??  Seeing a lot of familiar faces, Thea Trinidad (YEaaahhh) Among them.

Looks like still grass roots growing ..  Kind of like earlier Tna before Hogan, Bischoff and company landed. Maybe a merger with Tna??

Anyone have more intel this outfit?

RODDY PIPER !!!  The hot rod is gone ... Total shocker hearing this.

He was just at Novi .. in May. Looked good, and seemed to be having a great time!!

Dusty, now Roddy. Very sad.  Condolences to both families.


Summerslam with Brock vs Taker. Any thoughts?

[stormbolt7]

I'd love to catfight Paige. Roddy was one of the greatest heels of all time and will be missed. Piper had such a huge contribution to the business. It is just so sad that him and Dusty are no longer with us.

Have to agree with Brooke here..  Both Dusty and Rowdy did a lot, to help pro wrestling enter the spotlight. With their contributions inside the ring.
As well as behind the scenes. Not just WWE either. They did show up, other promotions as well.
Dusty, doing a lot, helping behind the scenes. That most of us, will never know.

Just wonder, if it is working for rematch at Wrestlemania next year?? 

Trying to think in the past .. Taker ruled Wrestlemania Yet past record at Summerslam hit or miss.
Think usually suffered from outside interference.

Just have to see how they work this one ...  Think end goal. Maybe Taker getting to even the score at another Wrestlemania. Then maybe retire.

Less than a week to find out.
