Mike Johnson, PWInsider: As I reported during the post-game show for the TNA Turning Point PPV, Scott Hall no showed the PPV and was not backstage at any point this past Sunday. Hall contacted the company at some point in the afternoon claiming he had food poisoning. TNA pretty much wrote him off at that point and there are no plans to bring him back anytime soon, if ever. Of everyone backstage, Kevin Nash seemed the most let down over Hall's no show as he's been relatively supportive of Hall trying to get things back on track and has tried to help him. With Hall gone, TNA made the call to put Eric Young in the match and have Samoa Joe cut a promo to take the heat for the no show off of the company. While Joe gave a tremendously passionate promo, the way that he framed the veterans of the company didn't sit well with Nash partially because he was standing in the ring with Joe at the time, so the promo gave the impression Joe was aiming the comments at Nash, who then had to stand there and tag with Joe immediately afterwards. The promo wasn't designed to be an "insider shoot" promo to start a program between younger and older factions of the roster, although Joe's passion made it come off that way. When the PPV was over, Joe and Nash had words backstage over the promo, which at one point became physical, with Nash as the aggresor. Joe eventually walked away from the argument and later apologized to Nash. The feeling among those I spoke to in the company was that after Joe and Nash squashed things, it was a dead issue and they've already moved on. At least one worker I spoke to believed that Nash may have simply taken his anger out over the Hall situation on Joe. There is said to be no lingering issues between the two over the situation. There was no real heat on Joe from TNA management, as I was told both Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter realized Joe got caught up in the heat of the moment. When Joe turned to Carter, who was sitting in her usual ringside seat (Carter sits ringside at all of the PPVs, often with TNA business partners such as executives from SpikeTV. She does not take an active backstage role during the actual production of the shows) and told her that if she didn't like it, she could fire him, it was an improvised moment that Carter simply played off of. The TNA announcers didn't acknowledge who she was, nor was it a moment planned to bring Carter into an on-screen role. At the Monday TNA tapings, Carter held a meeting with the entire roster. She explained to them how much she appreciated their role in helping the company grow and at times became choked up and teary-eyed while discussing how far she's felt the company grow. Carter noted that there has been talk of talents, particularly the younger members of the roster, being unhappy with their roles. Using an analogy that actors perform in a play as written for them and athletes run the plays that are called by coaches, Carter explained that the wrestlers were no different in carrying out what was asked of them. She then announced that contracts for the entire roster had been brought to the meeting and if anyone wanted to be released, they could receive them. As Buck Woodward reported, Senshi was the one person who took Carter up on the offer and the belief is that the release was amicable. Basically, Carter felt that if anyone was truly unhappy, they could take their leave of the company and if not, they were to be on board with what they were asked to do by TNA, because they had their chance to exit. The offer was made to the entire roster, not just certain segments. During the meeting, several of the veterans of the roster, including Booker T and Kurt Angle, talked up what a special place TNA is and that the company had only just begun to grow. For those wondering, the meeting had been planned before Joe's promo and was not prompted by his comments at the PPV.

could someone post the link to the original story?

can't we just nuke Sudan? Please?

From Smoking Gun: He then added, "I have already made fetish movies with scat/feces using chocolate instead of feces. Many actors make scat films but they don't agree to eat feces." I cannot explain the puking however.

watch the 2girls1cup video! don't be afraid! you know you want to. also, I've heard it's fake.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 04:03 PM) You really think a team that lost to Stanford deserves to play in a national title game? Yeah I do. If LSU can play the "But" game - "But our two losses were both in triple overtime," then USC can play that game too - "But we only lost to Stanford (by one point) because our quarterback broke his hand in the game." Basically, it all goes to show there should be a playoff system. After LSU's performance against Tennessee, I think USC could destroy them.

QUOTE(LowerCaseRepublican @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 04:13 PM) http://www.dailymotion.com/search/turning+...oe-shoots_sport Samoa Joe's PPV promo. His promo was a total shoot and wasn't expected. It wasn't a total shoot. A good portion of it was scripted, even the "Fire me" part. Also, why follow this up with Eric Young? Way to undercut Joe. TNA disappoints me in so many ways.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 11:00 AM) Having said that, I think it stinks that basically it takes 60 votes to get anything done in the Senate, and that's not how the constitution meant for things to be - REGARDLESS of who's in power. Yes it is. That's 2/3rds, right? The framers wanted to make it hard for any party to steamroll any legislation thru, protecting the minority.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Dec 1, 2007 -> 01:11 AM) OH.MY.GOD. where do you find....um what on earth made them...um I've heard that it's all fake. It's not really what it looks like. It IS ice cream, or something like it.

QUOTE(MHizzle85 @ Nov 30, 2007 -> 09:10 PM) Raekwon-Only Built 4 Cuban Linx or Ghostface Killah-Ironman Nope. Liquid Swords. Ironman & Cuban Linx are good however. Up there is also Method's Tical.

the reviews for I am Legend have been pretty bad online, but I'll see it. loved The Mist. Loved it. Great ending too. Very Night of the Living Dead. Have American Gangster at home but I haven't watched it yet. Is it really that good?

Common - Finding Forever

I use Final Cut Pro and convert to mp4 with Compressor. Basically all Quicktime formats are youtube compatible, but they have to be rather small files - I can't remember the limit. When you open a youtube account, they give you the limits.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 09:45 PM) Illinois doesn't deserve a BCS bid, as much as I love them and hope they win, but USC is not very good, and I'm not sure where you got the idea they'll beat on Illinois. Their shockingly bad offense will overshadow Illinois' mediocre defense, and the 190 rush yards they gave up to Oregon and only 2 wins against winning teams fly red flags. You are crazy. USC will destroy Illinois. Their offense is clicking on all levels right now, and should've been given the chance to play for the National Title. After the Rose Bowl, people will clamor for a +1 game (if not an actual playoff), wondering what would happen if USC played Ohio St or LSU.

what about Samoa Joe's promo at the TNA PPV (didnt see it) - ripping on old guys, TNA management, etc and then following it up by bringing out ERIC YOUNG????? TNA, what is your problem? Why do you suck do much?

Best campaign ad ever?

Relistened to ODB's n**** Please album recently - now that's some good stuff. But the best WuTang solo album has to be GZA's Liquid Swords.

USC.

It wasn't 85 - it was 86 or 87 iirc.

that's K-Y-J to you, mister. And it's a facebuster. (Someone's been watching ROH.......)

Corky?

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 09:31 PM) Jenks wasn't released because relieving itself is a "crapshoot" or whatever. Jenks was released for drugs, drinking, fighting and self-mutilation of sorts (setting his hand on fire certainly counts). I'm glad he's clean, to the best of the public's knowledge, but the Angels knew what they had and we knew what we'd get when we got him: a young man with personal problems and a super arm. His problems seem to be gone now, though. Finding good relievers IS a crapshoot. Who knew Jenks would be as good as he is when KW took a flyer on him? If it looked like a knock on Kenny, it wasn't. (Two misinterpretations on one post - gotta love that)

It is a crapshoot of sorts. Even the Angels released Bobby Jenks.....
