I was hoping for KES & Sami Callahan

According to Dave Meltzer of Wrestling Observer Radio, morale was said to be very low at the last set of Impact Wrestling tapings in Orlando, as the backstage feeling seemed to be that many employees are questioning the direction of the company.

Meltzer has "reported" that morale is down in TNA at least twice a week since the company was first formed.

its not far fetched that some people are unhappy. Roode and EY clearly were. But it's gotten to the point that talent literally mocks these reports because he does it anytime something in the company happens.

He didn't get the scoop on Roode and EY - that was PWInsider. In fact, Meltz reported that TNA's finances were doing better with Pop and that they were in position to start signing bigger contracts. That was based on Storm returning, a story PWInsider also beat him to. I don't think he's got his hooks into TNA like people wanna believe.

If 2 guys who been there since day one left, why wouldnt morale be down?

You got 1/3 of 3mb as your champion, who couldnt draw flies if he was a pile of shyt

Your x division is just about dead

Your tag team scene is dead

Your womens division is dead

And there is a strong possibility that the funkasaurus will be your next champion

They're probably enjoying the good television they're doing this year. Any just about any non-Meltz writer has praised Impact's improvement.

Do some wrestlers have reason to be concerned? Sure. There's unhappy people in every company, every industry.

But almost everybody in the locker room came home from the tapings (post Roode & EY news) and talked about how much they enjoyed themselves. And like clockwork, Meltz drops the same low morale report. But it is what it is.


TNA officially partnering with Al Snow's wrestling school in the UK

The former Marcui Louis and Sylvester LeForte in WWE NXT, Pierre Marceau and Thomas La Ruffa respectively, have signed with TNA, PWInsider.com has confirmed. They will make their official TV debut in the coming weeks. The pair were released by WWE in early February after several years of being in the developmental system and most notably feuding with Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady.

PWInsider.com can also confirm that Laura "Cherry Bomb" Dennis, who we noted there was word making the rounds that she had signed a few days ago, has indeed signed with the company as well.

TNA's Bob Ryder noted on Twitter that the company had signed five talents over the course of last week's TV Tapings.

 

[Jello Biafra]

Wonder why they are being so slow to reveal who the 5 wrestlers are that they signed?

 

[Jello Biafra]

Some dude on Twitter who claims to be an "insider" says that TNA is showing interest in AR Fox.

Would be nice if dude could overcome his past and get a shot because he is a really good wrestler.

IMPACT WRESTLING Welcomes Five New Athletes to Roster

IMPACT WRESTLING is proud to announce the signing of five fresh and new members to our active roster effective immediately. Jesse Guilmette, Laura Dennis, Marshe Rockett, Thomas LaRuffa and Mikael Vierge all signed their contracts with IMPACT WRESTLING earlier this month.

Jesse Guilmette and Laura Dennis are best known on the independent wrestling scene as Pepper Parks and Cherry Bomb. This real-life married duo caught the eye of IMPACT WRESTLING officials, and on a very emotional day for both Jesse and Laura, they signed their contracts together and look forward to entertaining the IMPACT WRESTLING fans very soon.

Marshe Rockett was born in Normal, Illinois and has earned the nickname “Mr. M80” for his explosive offensive ability. Marshe impressed IMPACT WRESTLING officials at a recent tryout and was signed immediately. Marshe is someone who can make a quick impression on the IMPACT WRESTLING roster.

Thomas LaRuffa and Mikael Vierge, both born in France, have been competing all over the world for the past several years. Tom and Mikael want to be considered the benchmark for tag teams in IMPACT WRESTLING and their desire to be the best has set them apart from their peers. Following the career path of both Eli Drake and Bram, Tom and Mikael have extensive training inside the wrestling ring and look to bring their knowledge to IMPACT WRESTLING.

We welcome all five of these amazing athletes as the newest members of the TNA IMPACT WRESTLING roster and look forward to seeing them in action on IMPACT WRESTLING in the near future.

Hopefully Marshe Rockett brings his middle-aged cat daddy pimp manager with him:

The only I've seen of Marshe Rockett was in King of Trios back in the day when he was a part of Da Soul Touchaz. He's good

As a side not to this, Eric Young has always been his biggest mole in TNA.

Rebel's got a new finisher:



And it looks like Raquel is all better since she was at the KO ONO PPV


And she is continuing to train (along with Rebel)...good to see these chicks working to get better at their craft:
