I must have missed the part where I said WWE were perfect
![]() I'm saying TNA can't say they hold all talent to a high standard of conduct in a statement where they reinstate a man who admitted strangling his girlfriend and keeping her locked in a room. What do you have to do to have your standard of conduct considered low? I'm holding TNA to the same standard of conduct I'd expect from WWE. If Randy Orton for example was arrested for spousal abuse, I'd expect him to be suspended and if he admitted to doing it released from his contract. Because that doesn't form a high standard of conduct. My issue is with TNA claiming a high standard of conduct whilst reinstating a man that showed anything but. |

I still dont see why they couldnt have just let Matt keep the belt and lead up to a rematch on Impact.

This is one of those instances where TNA would have just been better to say nothing and quietly reinstate Bram. They get literally nothing from doing it quite as publicly as they have. Of course its worth remembering that this is the same company that hired Jeff Hardy after he'd been arrested for drug trafficking so...

I'd say he has a greater track record to running the creative side of a business than Dixie has shown. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trust him to pay me at the end of the month but then I wouldn't really trust Dixie too either

Because he wouldn't be champion on the episodes of Impact because they were filmed in July. There's no way, well they could have actually done the smart thing and taped the BFG aftermath AFTER BFG, with the TNA tapings they have Hardy could have continued as champion.
Either film something live or dont do the title change. |

Money talks, in both cases, and looking at it from a business perspective, one can hardly say that TNA taking on Jeff Hardy, or WWE continuing a relationship with Austin, have worked out badly. |

There's no point getting into ethics / morality and the wrestling business. Money will be prioritised every time. If somebody is cut loose after screwing up it's because it's the smart move to make more money in the medium to long term. If their earning power outweighs their screw up a way will be found to keep them around. Much like the vast majority of businesses, actually!

But there is a point to discussing a company pretending to have morals and then dumping all over them in the same statement.

In other news, James Storm has tweeted that he didn't know anything about the TNA World Series when he taped the matches.

Beyond that I made the Austin/WWE point last night. I don't, for various reasons, think that's a particularly strong comparison point for the Jeff Hardy situation which really does amount to one of the single most stupid things TNA have ever done. And that isn't hyperbole on my part I really do think it was that stupid. |

Expecting high moral standards from wrestling promoters is a fools errand. Dare I mention it again, but back in 83 WWF were pushing J Snuka, a man they knew was violent with women to the point that most believe he murdered his girlfriend, as their number 1 babyface.
People are willing to ignore anything if there's substantial money at stake. Hell, I'm sure UFC will push Jon Jones as a face on his first fight back. |

In other news 4000 (alas the 5k figure previously quoted was a work) people have paid £28 for ICW Fear & Loathing 8, making Grado the biggest draw in British wrestling since Big Daddy circa 1981.
IT'S YERSEL. |

Thats TNA's problem for filming in advance.
Either film something live or dont do the title change. tna would have, either way ended up with no storyline for the next couple of months. they were not in a position to film anything. so if you think of it that way, they now have a patched together storyline using dark matches filmed months ago, with things they film for links more recently.. to keep something looking relevant until they have a new tv deal to build into and a paying tour to give them something to film (india & uk etc) this isnt such a bad storyline, although not ideal, when you look at what lego bricks they had left to build with... on top of that, you don't know what wrestlers will still be with them come the "next phase" again, something they can sort with the league ( they could for exampel make any match a score or not by simply saying a in ring win was cancelled out on some later judgement twist... or a one sided conversation with a sneaky camera filming of dixie "sacking someone" over the phone where the other party isnt seen or heard... so even with the matches filmed there are lots of easy tweaks they can quickly film to link things together in a "twist" and not equal what was originally filmed. lastly... ec3 & hardy now have a strong personal feud that can be used come the new tv deal... so its not a bad rescue from what is an awful place.. they have something to tread water with (as long as not to many marks care who has absolutely no chance of winning!) and they have a viable "we are back feud" or two ready to build on when they get a new network. the cost of weekly shows is huge. tna do not seem to be drawing on their house shows (although if they said it was for tv that might have been different).. but instead of having to pay wrestlers travel (google what "del rio" Rodríguez said last week was the expected in standard "indy" bookings for his caliber - "business class" travel etc).. so instead of weekly travel and hotel/food bills... they can do months of filming in just a week.. which is a massive saving... and that includes all the tv stuff much of which will be rented equipment and part time production staff who work various shows like the wrestlers between tna bookings (and by massive i mean massive)... so until they have a network and unless they can draw crowds to their events, they will batch film well in advance. |

Actually I would suggest its very easy to construct an argument that hiring Jeff Hardy worked out badly for TNA or at least hasn't worked out well.
