TNA up for sale?...

[Action Jackson]

IT WAS ME DIXIE. IT WAS ME ALLLL ALONG|!

I'd laugh if Vince took the joy in buying a 2nd company that employed Jarrett and publicly firing him yet again.

I will always and forever love Mike Tenay. He's a fucking bad-ass.

Did you just call Mike Tenay a bad-ass?

I enjoyed the OP, but I had one point of contention with it.

Saying that WWE is "ripping off" TNA's storylines is like saying Shakespeare was "ripping off" medieval folklore when he wrote Hamlet and MacBeth. There are a few key storylines in pro wrestling and they get revisited by every promotion on a regular basis.

Watching TNA's last two episodes, I could say that TNA is ripping off the "CM Punk becomes champ and leaves" storyline from 2011. But, that storyline has been done by every promotion at one point or another. (I will admit, however, that TNA seems to be doing it better, as it has been announced that AJ Styles will actually be appearing in other promotions and wrestling, and even defending, as TNA World Heavyweight Champion, even if Dixie says he's disavowed. This is the sort of thing that it should have been even easier for WWE to work out. I mean, how many independent promotions internationally would have turned down the opportunity to have "Disputed" WWE Champion CM Punk wrestle in their company for one night? But, I digress.)

The truth is that there are less than a dozen basic plots in all of fiction. All of us who write for fun and profit just recycle those basic plots with our own twists and turns.

Other than that, though, great post.

You don't really know who that guy is clearly. I won't be the one to explain it to you.

Hint?

Haha okay I GIVE I GIVE.

He's a bookie in Vegas. He's clearly got connections somewhere if that's his job. I met him, and the guy was cool as shit. Of course there was no line for his table, so I got to go right up and shoot the shit with him and Don.

I asked Mike to do his "this angle is hella serious face" and he did, and I marked out. I have a whole series of pictures of me making "This angle is serious faces" with Don and Mike.

I met a lot of people that day who were in TNA for the time being. Tenay, DW, Booker, and Kevin Nash were hands down the coolest people to meet. Abyss was weird, Daffney was alright. Earl Hebner was actually really cool too. AJ Styles was a cunt.

Road Dogg was fucking awesome. Had a bit of a Cheech and Chong convo with him outside before I even got into the place, and he repaid me by photobombing me all day.

Damn dude I would literally be reduced to tears if I met Big Sexy. Forget being my favorite wrestler, he is one of my 5 favorite people of all time.

He took a lot of time to make sure my girl and I got great pictures with him. He thought the photographers were rushing us, and he told them to chill out. Big Sexy is a fucking prince. When he walked into the big area where the meet and greet was, there was NO missing him. When I say he was head and shoulders above the entire room, I mean just that. The guy is GINORMOUS.

I told him I was there in DC when he beat Goldberg, and that I fuckin' loved it. He was happy to hear that. He was like "Damn that was a while ago!". I think he's happy to have someone not give him all kinds of bullshit for being the one to put down the tired ass Streak.

Yeah dude, if you ever get a chance to meet him, do it.

A buddy of mine and I have often talked about getting together the cheddar to hire Big Sexy for a shoot interview, just so we can drink and smoke up with him.

Have you legitimately looked into it? What are the rates to hire Nash for a sitdown interview lmao?

I'm guessing it's like $5,000 lol. Pretty ridiculous amount of money. I don't know. I could go on his website and e-mail his agent if I wanted to, but I would feel like a dick asking if I wasn't ready to throw down some serious bread.

You gotta hire him, pay for his airfare, get a hotel room to have the interview in, get the dude a dinner and some of that red wine he likes. That shit's expensive, and that's not even getting into buying some pot. It's a lot of work. I'd definitely have a vaporizer hooked up for Big D though. Anything less would be uncivilized.

Intelligent rich guy sounds like JBL.
