The Official TNA Discussion Thread

[Bryan Danielson]

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

Evidently.... for her own personal devices and agenda!

She still has power to run shyt and all the jabs and jokes about TNA being broke....

I'm sure if anyone SHE isn't working for free and is getting a profit.

I mean you don't do everything she's done and be like "oh I don't care if I don't get paid..... I'm personally losing money but I love the business"

Na Dixie feeding her kids!


At the end of the day.... she not as dumb as some would say she is.... probably just "plays" that role to disarm folks but at the end of the day she still in power while other cats are; staring podcast, bytching on interviews, looking for jobs, sitting around they house, attempting to plan (not even create) start ups, or just genuinely do other things outside the industry while complaining about WWE and shytting angrily on TNA


Low key..... she won and is like 7-0 against all the guys she's done business with

Pretty much this.

She play that role very well. But the thing is she has people that drink her kool-aid. She's this generations Paul Heyman. I don't get how the Harris twins or Corrigan would think she would surrender something that lost her family millions of dollars and tarnished her own public reputation over.

Especially if she already out played the Jarrett's, Hogan/Bischoff and scared Paul Heyman away. For better or worse her legacy will be tied to that company.

If you're screwing people over but you're not making any money or enhancing your brand the main person getting screwed is you.

DAVE LAGANA COMMENTS ON LEAVING TNA | PWInsider.com

Former WWE and TNA Creative team member Dave Lagana discussed his reasoning for quitting TNA for the first time this week on Jim Ross' Ross Report podcast. When asked by the WWE Hall of Famer about his decision to depart Impact Wrestling, Lagana commented:

"I had five bosses in five years in my time in TNA. I have nothing bad to say about my time in TNA because it radically changed my life for the better. Moving to Nashville, I met my girlfriend...I established a much different life. For the first 36 years, I was a single guy in the wrestling business. To establish a life, you know, it changes things. It brings stability, which is almost the opposite of what TNA was because it always seemed like something was going on and I was, you know, always nose-down in creative.

Matt Conway and I spent pretty much every work hour together in simply working on creative. I wasn't even hired to write for Impact. I was hired in 2005 by Jeff Jarrett for Ring Ka King and All Wheels Wrestling and when Vince Russo left in January of that year, for some reason, they ended up going, 'Hey, can you help out?', which meant write the show and write the show with Matt. Matt and I joke all the time about me walking into his office and saying, 'You and me. Me and you. What are we talking about?' and he said, 'What are you talking about?' and I said, "We're working together' and he went, "What?" and they hadn't even told him what was going on and it was the sort of interesting kickoff to our relationship because we were sort of thrown together and told to figure it out and at the time work for Bruce Prichard and Eric Bischoff, and I have a lot of respect for both of them.

Then, that changed and John Gaburick became my boss, then Billy [Corgan] was my boss. Then Billy got let go and I was like, 'Alright, who's my boss this time?' and nobody could tell me. I was like, 'Who's my boss?' and they were like, "With Billy gone, how are you going to work here?" I was like, "I just want to....this has nothing to do with Billy. It has everything to do with, 'who is my boss now?'

Not that I wanted to be the boss, but if you can't even tell me, I can't tell you what I want to do and I left Ring of Honor under similar circumstances. The company was taken over by Sinclair and they had established a new management team and I was sort of not figured in by the new management team and I was trying to find my spot. I felt this was a similar situation. New owners had come in. I had never spoken with anyone from the new ownership and never understood what the vision was and beyond all the very public issues the company was having financially, I didn't know what the vision was and I slept on it overnight and decided I wanted to bet on myself.

Again, it had nothing to do with Billy. The reason I couldn't do your show the week after [I left TNA] was I got hired 30 minutes after I left TNA to do marketing for a client. I said, "Wow, that happened just coming out of that decision' and I wanted to bet on myself."

Lagana followed up by noting that he still doesn't know who's the boss within TNA now, that once he wasn't being told that, he "wasn't sticking around" and doesn't know how the company is going to survive. He said that he never saw the books but talent weren't being paid on time and when they aren't paid on time, there are going to be problems.

Ross followed up by telling a story about how Vince McMahon is so smart because in times in the past when the company was lean, he always made it a point to make sure talents were paid on time so they would never suspect anything was amiss.
