To be honest, I don't blame Bisch. Once you hit any sort of a senior management role, your work-life balance goes out the window. The 8-5 work day is dead. You're always on the clock. It's not for everyone.

How in the fuck do these so called "creative" meetings last so long? They're making a wrestling show, not a fucking Martin Scorsese flick.

For the amount of time they supposedly put into it, it sure doesn't translate well on screen.

I'm guessing everyone pitches ideas, Vince says no to everything, Vince says "we're not leaving this room until we have a show dammit!" and that just continues until Vince decides hes bored and wants to go to the gym.

I imagine Vince just autisticly screeches at this point and leaves everyone else trying to figure out wtf he wants

That's why someone called in Bruce lol

And then Vince just rewrites everything himself right before a show starts.

Nothing beats the story of him abruptly calling a bunch of creative writers for them to go to his summer house one day to work on some plans.

By the time they arrived, he either forgot why he called them or suddenly decided he actually didn't want to do any work that day and told them all to quickly leave his house.

I can't even fathom how a creative meeting can last until 3 AM. What are they even talking about? There's about 10 minutes of story progression a week. 80% of the roster never have storylines outside of 'developed quite the rivalry'.

What a shit place to work.

Arguments. Making time for every suggestion. Recaps.

That's how you get to 3am.

I bet he has Cole just sat there to provide a recap of what was discussed moments ago. Throws to him every 15 minutes.

Kind of sucks. DirecTV doesn't carry BeiN sports anymore so I won't be able to watch anymore. Could move it to FITE maybe.

Jeez. Tuna Meltz is roasted, toasted and burnt to a crisp.

whats youtube doing now, like they want to chase the wrestling fans off. wonder how long nwa will do there show power before they leave.

And when all's said and done, Vince does what he wants anyway. Wasn't it said a while back they have like 25-30 writing staff, yet in the late 90's there was 3 or 4 "bookers" and it was an infinitely better product. :wtf:

Everything good goes through Vince, everything bad goes through Vince.
A man that sleeps 4 hours a night.

4 hours is generous, Seanny.

Bruce has already had two heart attacks. I'm sure this will help.

I would really like to see Braun and Tyson go to shit and they end up swinging for real. Haha would be amazing if Braun just slammed the shit out of him.

I wouldn't drink no stinkin charity water

I bet some girl named charity took a bath in it on myfreecams or something.

Hunter Horse Helmsley has a huge dick though

Apparently Impact Wrestling's All Glory event last night was a disaster in terms of production issues.

Ended up having to stream the show via two phones with the first phone stream hosted by Josh Matthews and abruptly got cut when Matthews needed his phone back for private stuff.

LOLOL that's incredible.

Jesus TNA, that's fucking bad for even you.

I work for a rinky dink small channel and even we have a better emergency backup than streaming off of someone's phone.

TNA just needs to close. End the clown show and let the talent do their thing at competent organizations.

I agree. What odd timing to have such an incredible fuck up. I can't.

That happens a lot with their Twitch and Impact plus shows. They team up with local promotions and let them cover production for the events. Should probably start using their own production crew for them. Bound for Glory tonight should be fine.

Seems they're going to bring the TNA name back for one night only during WrestleMania week.

Man JR is really coming off old and bad on his podcast. I can't deal with his real life negativity.

According to website SoCal Uncensored and Fightful, Jake Atlas recently signed a contract with WWE and will report to their Performance Center this January.

Lol I love how he says internet comments don't bother him and then complains about said comments each week.

I love how the first comment is how that drawing/comment should be on a T-Shirt. And given this run of "ironically bad" merchandise they've been pumping out, I totally see this happening in short order.

Kinda funny that it is old enough to illicit nostalgia, but still be so small time from all the times they repeatedly stunted their own growth for various reasons over the years. Hard to believe that, at its core, the company has been around for nearly 20 years. Harder to believe it has been around longer than RoH.

It is a bit unfair to saddle them now with the sins of the past, since it's essentially an entirely different organization MULTIPLE TIMES REMOVED from when it started out with NWA support and Jeff Jarrett to now (they've changed funding sources/ownership about as many times as they've changed networks), but that Vinceism "Perception is reality, pal!" rings true, and Vito is unfortunately correct.

If it does them well, by all means, milk what you can for yourself. If people are willing to throw money at "old school" TNA shirts, get every dime you can. Seems like it shouldn't work, but realistically, there *has* to be a market for it.
