Na toll. Die Engländer bekommen sogar das indische Projekt im TV zu sehen. Ich wäre ja schon froh, wenn sie bei uns Xplosion zeigen würden. Wir Deutschen sind doch echt arm dran was TNA angeht

Hogan wird diese News so ziemlich egal sein. Hauptsache der Rubel rollt. Aber es ist schon immer wieder seltsam für was alte WWF/WCW/TNA Stars ihren Namen hergeben

TNA House Show Results 01.24 – Brussels, Belgium


1. In a 3 way match for the X division title Austin Austin Aries defeated Alex Shelly and Mark Haskins who was introduced as being from Brussels.

- Earl Hebner comes to the ring to various ‘ you screwed Bret’ chants. He then takes off his referee shirt to reveal a ‘ Damn right I did’ shirt underneath.

2. Gunner defeated Doug Williams.

3. Crimson defeated Samoa Joe.

4. Mickie James and Tara defeated Madison Rayne and Gail Kim. During the match they did a funny spot where Madison falls into referee Earl Hebner’s arms and he then kisses her and acts like Ric Flair afterwards.

- Intermission

5. AJ Styles defeated Bully Ray in what was probably the best match of the night.

6. In a 3 way match for the TNA World Title Bobby Roode defeated James Storm and Kurt Angle.

There were about 1,500 to 2,000 people there. It was a great crowd. Christy Hemme was the ring announcer for the evening. During intermission Mickie James signed autographs at the merchandise stand. After the show Tara did the same. Sting, Jeff Hardy and Abyss weren’t there.

[Awesome One]

Ob die Belgier sauer waren weil Sting und Hardy nicht da waren?

Ob die Belgier sauer waren weil Sting und Hardy nicht da waren?

Nee glaub ich nicht. Sting und Jeff Hardy waren ja von Anfang an nicht für diesen Event eingeplant
Bin überrascht, dass es wohl zwischen 1,500-2,000 Fans gewesen sein sollen. Wird Impact Wrestling überhaupt in Belgien ausgestrahlt ? Die Geschichte mit Earl Hebner passierte 1 zu 1 auch letztes Jahr in Berlin.
Naja, wir Deutschen können trotzdem weiterhoffen, dass Sting sich doch noch mal irgendwann nach Deutschland verirrt. Auf Twitter hat er jedenfalls geschrieben, dass er nach Deutschland zurückkommen möchte und wenn es für nur noch EINMAL ist. Also Leutz, Daumen drücken !!

Mr. Anderson Says He and John Cena Have Beef; Talks About Departure From WWE


The Void out of the United Kingdom has a new interview online with Mr. Anderson. In it, he discusses on what led to his WWE departure, his thoughts on CM Punk and what he thinks about John Cena and Randy Orton. Below is an excerpt:
So you haven’t seen any of the CM Punk stuff? That I have seen, and there’s a case of letting a guy be himself and do his own thing, and he either sinks or swims of his own accord. I’m an old-school guy; if someone has an idea let them try it – if it works, great; if it doesn’t work, then you take them off TV. But you know, at that level, everyone’s good enough that they’re not going to go out there and just be awful. But you’re not really allowed to do that at WWE.
Over there, you have somebody literally sitting there telling you ‘Okay, you’re going to lock up with this guy, then you’re going to back him into the corner, you’re going to throw a punch, he’s gonna duck it, he’s gonna light you up and send you off, you reverse him but he’ll ditch you with a hip toss…’. Here it’s like, ‘Here you go guys, now go put your match together’, and then they will enhance it or add to it or say ‘Maybe you should do this instead?’ And that’s the difference and it’s very beneficial to the performer to work in an environment like that.
At TNA everyone is treated like an adult. You’re not an idiot, and you can think for yourself. At WWE, only certain guys are treated like that. Punk is one of them, Truth is another guy who seems to only be given bullet points as far as his promos go, and in my opinion, those guys are doing tremendous work.
You can tell when the other guys are reading it off a script, because they’re not actors. They’re trying to play actors and what’s on that paper is not necessarily what’s in their heart, and it comes across as hokey, phony, pre-planned BS.
Do you class John Cena under that category? I’m not a huge fan.
Why not? Besides some personal burials that have taken place… I’m just not a huge fan.
It sounds like the backstage politics are tough to negotiate. It’s insane. If you do something wrong, no one will tell you you did something wrong. They’ll smile to your face and say everything’s fine, but… I’m an adult, if I did something wrong, come to me and tell me I did something wrong or am doing something wrong and I will work to change that, but I’m not a mind reader! But over there, it’s just a huge game and you’re constantly being mind-f—ed.
One of the things that the fans believe you had to go through is Randy Orton being responsible for you leaving WWE. (Sighs) I’ve never said that, I don’t know where it started, it’s the telephone game at its finest. He definitely was the final straw, but by no means did I say he was the reason for me getting fired. I’ve said it time and time again, I was to blame for me being fired. I made the mistakes, I did the things I shouldn’t have done, I said things I shouldn’t have said. And that’s it.
I was injured a few times at the hands of others and rather than come back and bury those individuals and point fingers and say ‘He hurt me in a match,’ I just came back and said ‘You know what? This is wrestling, it’s not ballet, I got hurt. Period’. Meanwhile, when I was off rehabbing, people were saying I’m injury-prone.
If I take a sledgehammer to your knee, that doesn’t make you injury-prone. If I smash you in the face with a baseball bat, that doesn’t make you injury-prone. I just happened to be in a couple of situations like that, and wasn’t around to defend myself when those burials were taking place. And then – on top of that – I said the things that I said and I did the things that I did, and the final straw was when I supposedly dropped Randy on his head, and I think at that point Vince just said ‘I’ve had enough of it’.
There were certain guys, and there were three or four of them, that were lobbying for a long time [to get rid of me] and he finally gave into it and said enough’s enough.
