The Wrestling Observer reports that Bray Wyatt suffered a calf injury of some kind during his match on Saturday in Providence, Rhode Island as opposed to a knee injury. The injury was to the right leg and while there aren't many details, the injury is not believed to be a serious one.
I'm not even clicking that link, I'm just assuming it's row upon row of crudely made card board cut outs of people, making the venue look like it's populated with the crowd from No Mercy.

That would have looked better.

Impact apparently scored a .82 and TNA is dropping ticket prices. You can now buy four seats for $40 that were $50 each just a few weeks back.
So, at this point ROH is creeping up on that #2 spot just by not moving backwards.
Here's hoping Spike just can TNA and decide that the world needs a spiritual successor to Wrestling Society X in the worst possible way.
Start a new promotion and hire all the super talented young indie guys that aren't signed? Naaaaaaaaaaaaah, that'll never work. Let's bring in some names that can carry a brand. What's Tyler Reks doing?

WSX would actually fit Spike tv really well....may still be running today if it was there instead of mtv.
Considering you can still get 14 second row seats at the Baltimore tapings coming up soon I don't think that show will fill up either.
To be fair, Hell in a Cell still isn't sold out but wrestling has been a notoriously tough sale in the Miami area. Baltimore used to be a hotbed for non-WWE wrestling.

Well since they're in Baltimore maybe they can get tips on appealing to and drawing a larger crowd from Kaiju Big Battel.
Speaking of KBB am I going to have to start following that too to get the whole Chikara story?

The sad thing is at Bound For Glory 2012 I was in the second row ring side. They filled Grand Canyon state university arena to maybe 3/4 filled (camera side was mostly empty with spotty seats). There were very little open seats anywhere there was a camera. That pic posted though....damn After BFG2012 I figured a road tour for TNA would be a good thing. Maybe they need to stick with the major wrestling cities and only book college basketball arenas. I know they want to play off like they are big leagues but they need to find a balance between Indy and AAA entertainment until they build up to the A or AAA level again.
I think they need to focus on big wrestling cities that have small venues that look awesome on camera, like the Hammerstein Ballroom, shit WWE ran a PPV from their so play off that fact if you want to act big time.
I think TNA's biggest problem is that they have always gotten the best wrestlers they could, and then forced them to try and act and do Sports Entertainment in a way that isn't their bag. If that's what you want you need to grab guys who can do it. And the biggest problem will always them saying they're an alternative to WWE when really they are just WWE-lite, but not even as good as that should be.
At this time, it appears that Hulk Hogan will re-sign with TNA Wrestling. TNA began airing advertisements for Bound for Glory that featured Hogan earlier this week.
Hogan reached out to WWE and they reportedly offered him less money than what TNA was willing to give him. According to sources, The Rock and Brock Lesnar make more in a match than what Hogan will make in a year at TNA. It appears that once Hogan found that out, that he made the call to stay with TNA.

Probably yes,
On that front...a friend of mine went to one of the I am Chikara meet ups, and got Wink's "personal email" and never did anything with it....for giggles I sent him a letter asking him to bring Chikara back..just to see the response. He called me a twit and copied a link to email etiquette on wikihow...hilarious.
Signature lists him as excutive VP of acquisitons at Titor Conglomerate.
Also didnt know Jon Titor was the name listed on an elaborate time travel internet hoax a few years ago.
Speaking of Chikara, the internet anime channel Neon Alley is showing "Three Fisted Tales" as the first episode of the planned 26 to air this Sunday. So they're starting with this...
Smart move to start with arguably the best angle the company ever did. They have a one week free trial if anyone is interested but otherwise it's 7 bucks a month.

Well, that's that, then. Last one in TNA, hit the lights for us, will you?

It always makes me cringe when the Real Americans get cheered. Not that I don't think they (Cesaro especially) deserve all the accolades they can get, but this is not a gimmick that should be cheered.

The AE Podcast guys are making good on their promise by ending their stream with a 3 on 1 beating of Marc Mero.
Let's hope that's the case.
That would have looked better.

God I hope so. That would give TNA a reason to get their shit together and ROH a reason to start booking proper storylines again.
No, because they are owned or partially owned by Sinclair networks which airs their show. I guess Spike could buy Sinclair out.

True, and considering all the money Spike's been sinking into TNA, they may not be averse to doing that.
Also, jeezus christ, when is TNA going to start running venues that they can actually fill? This is starting to look like end-times WCW here.

Remember when he was ending his run on NXT and the crowd would sway in place to his music?
What wonderful world are we living in?
