New Impact Signings and Releases Chatter

[Smart Marx]

Cody Rhodes is rumored to be debuting tonight.

He'll get the main event run that he never really got in WWE and that makes me happy cause the guy can go in the ring.

Obviously TNA isn't going to start doing 3s and 4s in the ratings cause of Cody but with a young talented core of Rhodes, Galloway, and EC3, I think they've got a group of guys to build around

I mentioned in the Brandi Rhodes thread that the door might be now open to Cody coming in.

I do hope they bring him in and actually do something with him. I may, just may check it out.

Like I said before idk what joining TNA accomplishes considering the situation they're in but if he thinks it'll help all the power to him.

Another guy who will have creative control over his character.....he better hope he can connect with himself.....was never able to in the big leagues.

Sandow acting like a shooter don't make me confident.

Drew Galloway, who is the current TNA Impact Grand Champion on TV, took to Twitter on Sunday and announced that he is parting ways with the company as his contract recently expired.

The former WWE Intercontinental Champion debuted on Impact Wrestling in January 2015 and later won the World Heavyweight Title in March 2016. He lost that title in June of that year but won the Impact Grand Title in January of this year. A taped Galloway vs. Moose match with the title on the line will air on this week’s Impact episode.

Galloway wrote the following on his departure:

Thank you @IMPACTWRESTLING for these past two years & everything we achieved together. I'll miss everyone & I'll see you down that long road

Another one bites the dust. Another one gone. Another one gone. Another one bites the dust.


This ones a pretty big loss. He was one of their biggest stars.

That sucks for TNA. But Galloway really got to reinvent himself over the past 2 years and I'm sure he'll get bookings all over the world without a problem

Rumours going wild with Hardys contracts coming to an end.

Rumours going wild with Hardys contracts coming to an end.

I can only hope.

– The Hardys could show up in another company almost immediately if they depart Impact Wrestling, but they may or may not be able to take Matt’s “Broken” gimmick with them. Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that Matt and Jeff Hardy do not have a no-compete clause with the company, which means that should they leave TNA as is being reported by multiple outlets then they will be free to sign with and appear on another company’s programming right away. That would of course include WWE should they sign there.

However, the site also reports that there is some confusion over who owns the Broken gimmick. Sources close to Matt Hardy say that his current deal allows the company to profit off anything already filmed that involves any gimmick he used during his time with the company but that he has ownership over the name and characters. TNA sources, on the other hand, say that the current deal specifically stipulates that the company owns all IP creations. Matt and Jeff Hardy are not planning to re-sign with Impact due to feeling disrespected during contract talks, and are not expected to be at this week’s Impact tapings.

If they can't take the "Broken" gimmick with them, they lose a lot of appeal

Good. Bout damn time

Fab and I came up with some alternatives.
