General Chit-Chat Thread - No Spoilers

[Leon TrotSky]

(4/?) Flash forward to 2011, where TNA has the Young Bucks under contract and Kazuchika Okada on loan from NJPW. Both are being misused, of course, but both are able to meet. A couple of years later, Okada is one of NJPW's top guys and is able to personally recommend the Bucks to come over and work NJPW shows. They join the Bullet Club in late 2013 and become key names in it.

Certainly wasn't because his writing was getting them bad ratings since he wasn't writing for them anymore. He was just a consultant for Don West's commentary.

 

[Leon TrotSky]

(5/?) and then, of course, the Elite forms, breaks off from the BC, and forms AEW.

 

[Hidden Blaze]

Should post that all in some thread. We should find that conspiracy thread and you can post it all there @Sky

 

[Smart Marx]

Tbf, then hiring him in secret was what got them kicked off

Exactly, and even then that was only an 8th of the story. Spike was already changing how they wanted their channel to be perceived. Their entire lineup changed after that and they're now Paramount TV.

 

[Chris]

The secret hiring of Russo still gotta be one of my favorite stories ever tho

 

[Smart Marx]

It was stupid. Who secretly hires someone to be a commentary consultant?

 

[Smart Marx]

Only Dixie.

Why do you need a specific commentary consultant

 

[Chris]

That's a question only Dixie Carter can answer and I bet she'd struggle too

 

[Death By Looch]

Only Dixie.

What do you expect? She was too distracted by making herself look like a desireable cougar on TV

 

[Chris]

The best Dixie story is still when she told me to watch my language on Twitter bc kids use the app

 

[Smart Marx]

Why do you need a specific commentary consultant

I couldn't tell you. Was it when Taz or West being heel maybe?

 

[Death By Looch]

Is Claire Lynch the worst TNA storyline?

 

[Alexa]

Is Claire Lynch the worst TNA storyline?

Most people will say yes, but for me the worst storyline is the one you mention. Dixie trying to make herself a desirable cougar
