Dixie Carter vs Billy Corgan real-life feud
![]() |
TNA Chairman Dixie Carter vs TNA President Billy Corgan |
When I've read it I first thought of the wrestling gimmick we see on-screen. But it seem that the on-screen struggle between TNA Chairman Dixie Carter and TNA President Billy Corgan is all too real!!
![]() |
Billy Corgan vs Dixie Carter Judge decision: Monday, October 31, 2016 |
In fact, Billy Corgan, yes the Billy Corgan from the Smashing Pumpkins, filed a lawsuit claiming that "Impact Ventures is insolvent... Its liabilities exceed the value of its assets, and Impact Ventures is unable to pay its debts as they come due in the ordinary course of business."
In new court documents, Dixie Carter responded to the lawsuit stating that Billy Corgan was furthening his own interest as TNA President instead of helping the company.
The control and ownership of TNA Impact Wrestling is at stake. And the winner/owner will be determined by the settlement of the Corgan's lawsuit. The judgment will take place this Monday, October 31, 2016.
Two possible scenarios.
- Dixie Carter wins the court case and can sell the struggling company to whoever she wants.
- Billy Corgan wins, gains control and rebrands the company as he please. While Dixie Carter is still responsible for all the company's debts. A win-win situation for Corgan.
Dixie Carter is likely to win the lawsuit.

Vince McMahon owns TNA Wrestling... |
A possibility if Dixie Carter wins the court case.
Nonetheless, WWE Vince McMahon wants to buy TNA Wrestling eyeing its video library. The only problem is that Vince McMahon wants it for pocket change.

"Suplex City" "Goldberg SUCKS!"

Paul Heyman was ordered to sell non-existant "Goldberg!" chants at the Target Center, Minneapolis, Minnesota even through Brock Lesnar studied at the University of Minnesota.
I was really happy to heard the "Suplex City" and "Goldberg Sucks!" chants and to see Paul Heyman desperately trying to sell his pre-scripted promo.
Apparently, Vince McMahon who was backstage, was so furious about the crowd refusal to chant "Goooooldbeeeerg!!!" that he ordered Lesnar's music to be started to end the uncomfortable Heyman's promo.
If you want to have a blast watch the Lesnar / Heyman failed promo.
Not that I dislike Goldberg, but I wish to heard a lot more "Goldberg sucks!" in the following weeks.
As the conquerer of The Undertaker WrestleMania Undefeated Streak, the unstoppable force in the WWE, and more importantly as a very legit asskicking machine UFC Champion. Brock Lesnar deserves to be a lot more popular than Goldberg who was absent for the last 12 years.

WWE World Champion AJ Styles defeated by a pure jobber
The jobber in question here isn't a jobber like Titus O'Neil or the Zack Ryder of a year ago. Not at all!
WWE World Champion AJ Styles was defeated by a pure jobber!!
Or if you prefer...

jobber James Ellsworth defeated WWE World Champion AJ Styles at Smackdown...
TWICE, 2 weeks in a row!!!
James Ellsworld vs AJ Styles WWE Smackdown Live 11 October 2016 (Full Match) HD
AJ Styles vs James Ellsworth WWE World Championship Match Smackdown Live 18 October 2016
James Ellsworth.
The worst looking of them all!
James Ellsworth doesn't even look like a pro wrestler.
Undersized, ugly, pale, bleached-blonde, chinless, muscleless, about 5'7" despite being billed at 5'9", 176 pounds, skinny fat, already 31 years old, 14 years of pro wrestling experience nonetheless...
In term of jobber, James Ellsworth is on a par with the Mulkey Brothers.
For me, it is a scandal! Probably the best wrestler in the world accepting to lose against a scrub!??!
Anyway, it seem that underdog losers are good for business...
Think of Daniel Bryan (at least he was a great wrestler and a lovable guy who just haven't the required look of a WWE Superstar. Bryan still looked an hundred times better and more credible than Ellsworth)
Believe it or not...
James Ellsworth is more popular than the returning Goldberg??!!??

James Ellsworth T-shirt outsells Goldberg
At least James Ellsworth catchphrase / slogan is cool.

The Intense Love Story of Alberto Del Rio and Paige
Stupid love story??
I don't think their Love Story is stupid!?!
It is Passion!
A burning Passion between two consenting adults loving each other.
However be careful, burning desire often transform itself in intense hatred.
The police incident was a drunk lunatic armed with a knife that was threatening Paige.
As for the 'Total Divas' rumors, I don't think it is serious!
TMZ spoke with Paige about the fact she violated the WWE's wellness policy twice in 3 months and if she plans to return to the WWE. As for Alberto, he's been named president of Combate Americas -- a Hispanic MMA franchise -- and says he vows to be the "Mexican Dana White."
Meanwhile, I don't think that Alberto Del Rio wants to make a comeback as an MMA Fighter.

Randy Orton punts Mr. McMahon - Raw: 1/29/2009
You will see the very real punch to Vince McMahon's face and two very real kicks to the face of Mr. McMahon.
Before the angle, backstage, McMahon instructed Randy Orton to goes all-in so it will look real.
McMahon probably thought that the only way to look real is to actually doing it for real!

Mr. T gold chains
Mr. T gold jewelry, chains, rings, and bracelets was worth about $125,000 and weigh 6.25 pounds.
In January 1983 when the A-Team first went on the air, Mr. T's approximate 100 ounces (6.25 pounds) of gold was worth $43,316.
Price of Gold raw material by troy ounce (31.1 gr/1.1 standard oz.)
- Cost of gold in 1983: $424/troy ounce
- 2008 inflation adj. cost: $914/troy ounce
- Actual 2008 cost: $923/troy ounce
It's now said to be worth $123,480 - an increase of 185% in value, as of 2010.
Some people even speculated that Mr. T had an influence on Gold price fluctuation.


Mr. T has some explanation for everything he wears.
- He bought his first gold chain in 1977 which cost him $129.
- He uses the diamond and gold Rolex he bought for $8,000 cash at a Federal Marshal's auction to keep the time (although the date does not seem to work).
- He eats his meals with the huge gold eating utensils around his neck.
- He takes his drink from a gold and diamond goblet, the idea for which he got from the Pope.
To settle all the rumors about the reasons for his appearance that have undoubtedly floated around the campus community over the past decade, here is the truth in the words of Mr. T himself.
Mr. T explains his taste for Gold:
The reason why I wear gold: I wear gold for three reasons.
- One, when Jesus was born, three wise men came from the east, one brought frankenscence, one brought myrrh, the other one brought gold.
- The second reason I wear gold is I can afford it.
- The third reason I wear it, it's symbolic of my African heritage. When my ancestors came from Africa, they were shackled by our neck, our wrists and our ankles in steel chains. I've turned those steel chains into gold to symbolize the fact that I'm still a slave, only my price tag is higher.
Mr. T stopped wearing gold chains in 2005 because he thought it would be an insult to the people who lost everything after Hurricane Katrina.
Sorry to say that but Mr. T without bling is not Mr. T anymore.

WWE buys TNA
![]() |
WWE buying TNA? |
Knowing Vince McMahon, he is probably more interested in the TNA wrestling videos library than the TNA itself. Just like he did with WCW, he will keep the tape library and close down the minor wrestling promotion.
Many of TNA's finest talent were already bought out by WWE to be send in NXT.

Current TNA Impact Wrestling President Billy Corgan who made his $50 Million fortune as the lead singer of Smashing Pumpkins. |
The only obstacle to WWE buying TNA for chump change is Smashing Pumpkins singer and current TNA President Billy Corgan. Billy Corgan already put more Money on the table to buy 30% ownership of TNA Impact Wrestling than the WWE is ready to spend to buy the whole package.
Only the future will tell us...
