Money really must be super tight in TNA right now, as he couldn't have been costing them, that much surely?
yes it's a shitty thing to do after apparently promising him he had a "job for life" but then they weren't really obligated to keep him employed forever I suppose. |

Apparently, if you believe what you read, he was being paid significantly more than most production assistants, so arguably still the same salary he was being paid as an in-ring wrestler.

Even if his pay was higher than some others, what he went through for the company, would certainly deserve it to be!
I wish him well for the future, and hope that he can at least get back to living a normal life, pain free. If he then got to a point where he could make a comeback as a wrestler then they could look at the contract again. I'm sure he'd just be happy to remain employed really. |

The others wear suits and are though people, so why not Rampage?
It isn't that tough a decision really, it is just a simple easy one, that they have got wrong. MEM is about main event stars not suits, thats jsut a play on the mafia thing re all these cutbacks, TNA finnaly tour and now they are in financial meltdown? shame |

How much longer can TNA hang on?
This appears to be one of the primary reasons why they're having to let people go and 're-structure' the finances because the tapings are costing them so much. |

Anyone see the grief Dixie is getting on twitter?
TNA were doing a Q&A on Twitter under the term #askdixie and it's been taken over by the hardcore fans. |

They've screwed up big time imo, A.J should be built as the face to beat Bully, thats all gone now thanks to last week, A.J's push was very short anyway, it was awesome at the beginning.

They seem to be in an unfortunate position as well in a sense, because since they've taken Impact on the road, the Universal Studio where they used to tape it, as far as i'm aware, is now in solid use so they couldn't go back there if they wanted to.

The best thing TNA could do now is let Sting go to WWE and get him off the wage bill.
I still think Hogan is a big enough asset to keep. The guy sells tickets, as a promotional aide he's worth it. |

It's almost like Panda Energy said "Allright, enough of this. You've been around for 10 years and all we did was losing money. From now on you go on with Spike's money and what you get from the live events". Sadly, TNA is nowhere near ready to do that and they're cutting everything they can. What happened with Sorensen is deplorable. Even if he was making more than a normal producer he wasn't becoming rich, so cutting him off after slightly more than a year after the accident and after Dixie promised, apparently, that he would have a job for life with TNA really comes off as low (WWE, to make a comparison, kept Droz employed for nearly 8 years and gave him a pretty hefty settlement before releasing him. Matt Cappotelli, a guy who was diagnosed with a brain tumor, stayed employed with WWE for more than 3 years. They fired Test while he was nursing a neck injury but then they brought him back, so they kinda corrected that mistake -plus he had other issues that sadly led to his demise-). I wouldn't be shocked to read Zema Ion as one of the next releases, which would be low as well considering TNA didn't help him with his medical bills.

Of course no one knows how much trouble they are or are not in, but letting Jesse Sorensen go after previously promising him a job for life isn't a good sign. |

But Hogan means squat now in 2013. Ratings have gone down, buyrates are not up even with less pay-per-views and he's one of the focal points of the company. He was supposed (he and Bischoff actually) to be the guy bringing TNA to the next level and let's face it, that hasn't happened.

What surprises me is that when Bisch took charge of WCW the first thing he did was stop the house shows as they were loosing money. TNA's drawing smaller crowds to house shows than some UK companies are its madness to keep them going.

Hardcore Justice (2013) August 15, 2013 Special episode of Impact Wrestling used as a replacement for Hardcore Justice.
Airs on challenges TV on 18/8/13 @ 9pm.On freeview channel 46 I think after the one night only PPV are finished TNA might go back to monthly PPV. |

A few random TNA thoughts:
Nice to see Sabin win the World Title. After all the work he has put in for the company it's much deserved. I do agree with those who say the way he won it wasn't particularly good. After the beatdown by Bully Ray, Sabin uses a hammer shot to get the win. Could have done it better but hey, he's the World Champ and all the best to him for his upcoming reign. In regards to the Ultimate X Match, surely it has to be Sonjay's title win. Manic or TJ Perkins or whoever hasn't been in the company that long and Greg Marasciulo has only just debuted. It's amazing that Sonjay has never had the opportunity to hold the X-Division title. Another guy who deserves his opportunity with a title. Not sure what to make of the MEM at the moment. Last week's show was rather strange in regards to Kurt Angle, and surely Rampage won't be in a wrestling match for a while yet and the fact they keep referring to him as the "heavy hitter" would suggest he's someone who will fight when needed and have the MEM's back. And maybe he just doesn't want to wear a suit. Lol. TNA seems to be fully behind Magnus. He's part of the MEM and romping away with the BFG series at the moment. It's surely not inconceivable that Magnus could certainly face the World Champion at Bound for Glory and win the title after the push he's getting by TNA. And, as mentioned, AJ Styles is not going anywhere. As I've said previously the reaction he gets is lacklustre. The crowd just don't know how to react or even want to react to his character. At first I thought this character would work but it obviously hasn't. TNA needs to rethink AJ and his character. Overall the wrestling is still at a good level. TNA Impact at the moment is a good show. |

Some of my favourites from #AskDixie:
"@TableofJapan: #AskDixie Is it true a lot of mid-card wrestlers in TNA are considering living in North Korea, because they have a better human rights?" "@PERFECTION_IMW: Why did you hire everyone on the cover of The Death of WCW? #AskDixie" I agree with the second to be honest, it's not exactly hidden how bad hogan and bischoff were for WCW |
