Since this is the TNA news, notes and NONSENSE thread...

Eli Drake is wrestling in some lucha promotion as "El Hijo de Trump". That's... some way to get heat, I guess :mjlol:

Also here's footage of current X-Division champ DJ-Z wrestling at a Mexican garage or something, in a good match.

TNA held a conference call this afternoon with the TNA roster. We are told by sources that during the call, Carter officially introduced Anthem's Eric Nordholm as a member of the Board of Managers for the company, stating that the Board will be guiding the company going forward.

Carter praised the new relationship with Anthem Media, stating they have injected capital and resources into the company and will bring it to the next level. Nordholm addressed the roster and praised them for their hard work and said that the new agreement will be a great opportunity for both TNA and The Fight Network.


The idea of an over the top network utilizing TNA content was brought up. It was also noted that the company is looking towards getting back on a touring schedule (I would assume this means for live events) as well as strengthening it's relationship with their India TV partner, Sony Six.

When asked about creative changes, Dixie Carter noted that Dave Lagana tendered his resignation last week and that Billy Corgan was no longer with the company. She said that going forward, they would be going back towards a collaborative effort. It was noted that the creative department current consists of John "Big" Gaburick. Matt Conway and Madison Rayne :dahell: and they are looking to hire more people to add to that end of the company.

In a strange twist, an automated message noting that the call was being recorded was heard, leading to an abrupt end of the conference call.

It was described to me as very much a "rah rah" call with Carter noting that since the locker room meeting they held on 10/3, a lot of things have changed within the company.

Behind You


Toronto, Canada (November 28, 2016) – Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. and William “Billy” Corgan today announced that they have completed an agreement to resolve Mr. Corgan’s litigation against Impact Ventures, parent company of TNA Impact Wrestling. Anthem has acquired Mr. Corgan’s loan to Impact Ventures on undisclosed terms, and Mr. Corgan has dismissed his proceedings against Impact Ventures and TNA Impact Wrestling.
Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp. is a global sports media company that operates Fight Network, Impact Wrestling’s exclusive broadcaster in Canada, as well as the exclusive worldwide digital streaming partner for all TNA programming. It is also an equity stakeholder of Impact Ventures.

Anthem Executive Vice President Ed Nordholm stated: “We are pleased to conclude these arrangements with Mr. Corgan. The events leading to litigation were unfortunate but also reflected all parties’ desire in good faith to support the company. The arrangements we have made with Mr. Corgan respect all parties’ gratitude for his contributions to Impact Wrestling, both creatively and financially. We can now close this chapter and look forward to making Impact Wrestling a leader in the professional wrestling world.”

“I’m pleased that an agreement is now in place that allows wrestling operations to continue,” said Corgan, Impact’s former president, “for my interest from the start was to provide support, be it material or creative, to such a great roster and crew. And as I plan on continuing in the business side of pro wrestling, I look forward to seeing where Anthem’s leadership takes the company in 2017, and wish them the best.”

About IMPACT VENTURES

IMPACT VENTURES, LLC, is a privately held sports entertainment company that is the parent company to TNA IMPACT Wrestling. Represented by United Talent Agency and based in Nashville, Tenn., IMPACT VENTURES specializes in television properties, events, products, merchandise and music, as well as the management and promotion of professional wrestlers. The roster features such greats as Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, EC3, Bobby Lashley, Drew Galloway, James Storm, the high-flying X-Division, and Gail Kim and the lovely and lethal Knockouts. Its highly successful flagship, IMPACT WRESTLING, broadcasts in more than 120 countries around the world, including Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on Pop, a joint venture of CBS Corporation and Lionsgate, in the United States and on Fight Network in Canada.

So Corgan is gone and Anthem Sports & Entertainment now are the majority owners of TNA/Impact whatever the hell the official company name is.
Dixie is still a minority owner but supposedly has no say in anything.

"Bu bu bu bu bu bu but Dixie is so dumb and stupid and doesn't know what she's doing, she's an idiot":skip:

Na..... Dixie a savage!!

She basically outsmarted and worked over Jeff Jarrett, Eric Bischoff, Hulk Hogan, Vince Russo, Dutch Mantell, Bruce Pritchard, and now Billy Corgan.

Basically got what she needed from them, disposed of them and destroyed them!:mjlol:

Each one more bitter that they got fukked over by her verses fukking her over or even fukking her!:russ:

At what cost? She wasted away a company's potential and screwed over TNA Originals when they stuck around.
