to be fair, was only his wife vocally bitching online

and AEW ended up being proven right - he's been amazing since the re-up and has gotten booked much better and seems very happy now
Glad to hear it. Cage I think is a very underutilized and underrated talent. But you can’t really blame Melissa though because prior to being booked better afterwards he wasn’t booked well before that.

I can't blame her because Cage was in Lucha Underground and the bad spell of Impact. I can understand why she'd be on edge as he's probably gotten fucked over a lot in both those places contract wise

TNA was the company I cared about. Now it's just gone to hell.
good news - if history tells us anything is that it will recover

Fightful Select has learned that Josh Alexander had asked TNA to not exercise the option on his contract, and was going to survey the landscape, and was even open to renegotiating. However, we're told there's no concerns regarding him fulfilling his contractual obligations and working hard.


for fuck sakes TNA I didn't read this part yet

Yeah, I posted that earlier. He was open to negotiation and asked not use the clause in the contract and they did it anyway.

I think most fans expected the stupid shit to finally be behind them and had finally washed away the loltna stench....only for it to come back the very moment they re-brand back to TNA

but to you point - this is peak TNA-ism no doubt

I had seen you discuss it but missed the reporting on it - wild stuff

Obviously within their rights business wise but quite morally ambiguous and certainly not going to make fans or talent trust you at a time ppl are already pissed

Especially when they know he's gonna be a pro and not rock the boat too much since he's a true professional and his wife now works there

Pretty shambolic piece of business from Anthem here. Everything just reads that the corpo boys don't actually care about fostering a good roster. They'll keep their stars for as long as they can.

But I think this definitely kills any further speculation this is a work. SRS I feel would have have been aware of that possibility if it was.

Which will backfire spectacularly. Any of those hourglasses that might have been bluffing will be galvanized into fulfilling their commitment now that a “hostage” was taken.
