Len Asper will be meeting with talent tomorrow and hopefully things will get cleared up.

Not likely. The talent was loyal to Scott. They are pissed he is gone. Asper telling them he is their friend now will not fix things. He is not even involved in wrestling, he is an outside coming in telling them he knows what is best. It is not good at all and will not end well. People like Rosemary are ready to leave first chance they get.

Not Too bad

Wait, is that a motivated roster?

Well one of the new faces of TNA emerged tonight with Ali taking the X-title.

And this is where TNA can really survive this stuff. The new people could in theory replace the ones they are losing. And new talent will freshen up TNA.

for being a plus special NO Surrender was really good.

this was the 1st time I saw this variation and I marked out

I do wish they amp up the production. The show looks like it was taped in 2004.

The GVV should have won the tag team titles. Kind of silly that they had a best-of-three series just for Ace & Bey to retain.

I perhaps the most random of settings, IMPACT's show from Wagga Wagga is airing on the Indigenous network NITV in Australia.

No sure they have the cash for a new production setup, and running in a gym makes it hard to set things up. Cannot even setup the standard light cage in that place.

This is what AEW would likely look like as well in smaller venues.  You can absolutely make these shows work for live fans, but not so much for TV.  Need to market this shit more as intimate live events, as if you look, the people farthest from the ring, as still very, very close.  That is the draw, your cheap seats still see all the action.  And well before and after the show the guys are usually meeting fans since the crowds are manageable for people to mingle.

Gut tells me while others want to leave, TNA will replace them with new people.  And Tama Tonga is up to be signed now, and has a history with TNA. 

As far as tonight's Sacrifice show goes, I'm looking forward to the following matches...

Alex Hammerstone vs. Josh Alexander (Part 2)
Nic Nemeth vs. Steve Maclin
Grizzled Young Vets & Mustafa Ali vs. Time Machine

As well as both the men's and women's tag team championship matches, although admittedly to a lesser extent.

Edit: Also Speedball Mountain vs. The Razcals on the countdown show, I forgot about that match, but I'm looking forward to it as well.

I'll need to watch Nemeth/Maclin again.

With that said, I enjoyed Alexander/Hammerstone 2, these two work so well together. I'm all for them throwing down again, let's complete the trilogy. Or hell, even better let The System get involved and throw Moose in there, for a triple-threat world championship match.

I also really liked the six-man tag team match, I'm intrigued with everything going on with Time Machine. Having said that, I kind of wish Kushida accidentally cost his team the match (even more so, since Kushida tossed in the towel at No Surrender). Just for the potential of a Jet Setters/Machine Guns feud.

Edit: Machine Guns vs. Jet Setters vs. Ace & Bey vs. The Rascals in a four-way tag team full metal mayhem match, with the winners earning a tag title shot at The System would be dope.

Nemeth vs Maclin from Sacrifice was great. Not quite match of the year but a must see in my opinion.

I was excited to watch Kaz vs EY until Tom randomly said it was a #1 contenders match. That killed my interest in 2 matches because they telegraphed them.

The feud is still going and the may have telegraphed the winner of one battle but who knows who is going to win the war

see rumors that MCMG and Killer Kelly maybe on their way out

Mike Johnson made it official. I will use tags since it is a taping that hasn’t aired yet.

SPOILER: Click to show

TNA gave MCMG a send off at their Philadelphia taping last night. The show won’t air until April though and will air after their contracts end on April 1st. They fought Eddie Edwards and Brian Meyers for the TNA Tag Team Championship.

Rumour has it they will take a bit of time off.

If I am a betting man I think they get a big pay day from AEW. Lots of friends there and they will want to sign a big contract before they retire for good. They deserve it.

Chance they go to WWE but I see them as a much better fit in AEW. They’re more recognizable there and can work the lighter schedule to stay healthy.

AEW seem like a logical fit for MCMG but I would not count the WWE out. I think they have a main roster run in them, but I can also see them being brought in to work behind the scenes like a lot of other TNA talent. If they end up staying in TNA that's fine too. Everyone is talking about Cody's finishing the story, but since winning and losing the World Title Shelley has had a pretty good story too. Since losing the X-Division title to Ali Sabin has become more interesting. Personally I would like to see how those stories end.

Killer Kelly is not done turns out. Anthem when they said she is finished with the company, meant her current angle. She is under contract until 2025.

And people bitch about me using resign...

I think might be taking time off soon to be in a movie.

this looks interesting

He is back!!!  Before he came out he pulled the AEW ladder match on Twitter.  Knew that was gothic baby in the video though and that was Reby's style.

Sami and Santana are also back

Matt and Jeff Hardy opting to leave WWE to trust in AEW has to be among some of their worst decisions made, Matt should have swallowed his pride and opted to work in NXT and be a gatekeeper in the way that guys like Baron Corbin revitalized themselves in doing so. People have to stop thinking going "down" to NXT is some sort of demotion. Matt Hardy's head would have appreciated it to as he would not have been working with someone like Guevara who probably single handedly took a few years off both's lives.

Guess both doors were closed for Matt here so he went with a place he has familiarity with in TNA. His Mass Deletion stuff will get full creative freedom but no Borash or Corgan to bounce ideas on so he will be put to the true test here.

The irony is Matt would excel working for NXT. Dude is great with characters, he just needs to stop being concerned with his own stories and write them for others.

Jeff however had no future in WWE. If he survived the drug testing scandal he would have been fired for the DUI. WWE is trying really hard to change and has no place for people like Jeff or Riddle anymore.

TNA really benefits though from them not fitting in with the two major feds.

Them bringing back Sami is good too, as Sami really has connections to like everyone it seems. And without the big names they had in the past, for TNA to really thrive they need to keep the finger on the pulse of the indy community and bring in the best before others discover them.

With Deona gone, I think the current TNA roster is pro Tessa. Moose, Grace, few others actually really liked her. Huge risk to take though but if you're Tessa, you've got to be on your best behavior. I'm stunned TNA even wants to work with her after the whole belt fiasco but D'Amore is long gone so I guess it adds up...

Good for TNA, I'm intrigued enough to see what they have planned for Santana. Sami coming back is a great move as well.

I'm glad that Broken Matt is back!

Love Broken Matt in TNA. Did not work in AEW or WWE, but it always hit in TNA.
