The only decent thing about TNA right now is Chyna's theme

TNA's divas are much hotter than the WWE divas. That's a fact.

Ha-ha!!!
I got duped!

I just turned on TNA for the hell of it and saw Disco Inferno in what appeared to be a "worked shoot" with Steve Borden in his 1980's Sting gear complete with peroxided hair and all!
Turns out it was Anderson; the real Sting came down shortly after.

I thought they'd just begun a new/major angle!
What was I thinking? ::)

It seems like TNA is trying to add some "maturity" to the show.
I noticed substantially more swearing (and even some stronger language that made it past censors) in the few segments I saw last night compared with the last time I watched any of the show.

I believe they are trying new things, but maybe taking it slow, which is okay.
Just so long as they are willing to experiment.
Not everything always works - even for Vince - but you've got to be willing to try because that's how you learn.

PWInsider.com is reporting that Universal Studios employees are cracking down on fans using cell phones at TV tapings to text spoilers to internet wrestling websites. It's being said that Universal has been threatening to throw fans out of the Impact Zone if they are suspected to texting in spoilers. It should be noted that this is Universal Studios' new policy, not TNA's.

Reid Flair appeared on the Hit the Ropes radio show on Wednesday and said while he hasn't ruled out working for TNA, his goal is still to work for WWE. Here's what he said:

"No, I have not ruled out TNA. I respect the guys that are there. I respect the people in management and stuff like that. My dream since I was five years old was to work for the WWE and that's my goal. I think for people who are already established as stars, TNA is a great place to go. But me being a young kid and stuff like that, not having established myself, I think that sometimes the younger guys may be misrepresented and stuff in TNA. And I'm not saying anything malicious about TNA, WWE is just where I want to be. That's my goal. WWE is the big time and I want to be with the best.'

I wonder if Ric's being in TNA has anything to do with Reid's decision.

from a few weeks ago...

WWE has signed Jesse White, son of three-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion Big Van Vader, to a developmental contract. It was speculated in recent weeks that White, who has competed in Japan, would be signed following a tryout at the organization's developmental facility in Tampa, Florida.

LOL!!
One thing to David's credit: it wasn't his fault that WCW pushed him too much, too soon.
He knew he wasn't ready, freely & openly admitted it, and has acknowledged that it was a horrible idea.
That sounds like a pretty humble kid to me - especially being "the son of RIC FLAIR."

As for Reid, I'm sure that growing up as Flair's kid had plenty of perks, but at the same time, I'm sure that it also had its share of hardships.
Reid may just want to avoid working in his father's shadow, and maybe wants that physical/professional distance for a number of reasons: he may wish to avoid (percieved) nepotism, or maybe he doesn't want his dad smothering him and/or his career, etc.

Hopefully he's not as dangerous as his dad was... My understanding was that Vader really hurt a lot of people accidentally in the ring.

I dont think alot of it was accidental by vader, he was notoriously stiff with guys he knew wouldnt be able to confront him about it. His son is supposedly just as strong (i doubt it as Vader was said to bench up to 600lbs) but is built like shorter version on DH Smith - he could be very good as hes already got the Japanese style to him

I thought I heard a story that he was almost in tears after breaking some guys back...I could be wrong.

I'd never heard anything to suggest that Leon was a mean person; just that he had a stiff style in the ring.
But that's how he worked, and being that he was such a tough SOB, he probably never gave it a second thought.

Remember his match with Hansen, in which his eyeball popped out of the socket?
He just kept going because that was his mentality.
He was never bothered by roughness, and probably never thought others were, either, if they were in this business.

And, yes: I've also heard the story about his regret over breaking a guy's back.
