April 2012

Last Thursday on IMPACT!, Hulk Hogan made an announcement which, if carried out properly, could signal a positive change in TNA. In addition to announcing the creation of Open Fight Night, a vehicle for introducing new talent to the TNA fans each month via an “open challenge” format, Hogan also revealed new plans for the previously disrespected Television Title. The belt, he said, will now be defended each week, on TV. To someone without prior knowledge of the TNA Television Title’s history, this might not seem like news. After all, it’s the TV Title, makes sense it would be defended on TV. But for those of us who watch IMPACT! each week, and especially those of us with fond memories of the old NWA Television Title, this was music to our ears.

Never let it be said that Scott Steiner is shy with his opinions. He has, for the better part of his 25+ year career, said whatever has been on his mind. For better or for worse, that’s just Scott. Often hilarious, always controversial, Scott Steiner just flat doesn’t care. This last week the focus of his rants have been pointed squarely at TNA, the company for whom he’s been employed for the better part of the last 6 years. Not only has he taken to twitter to attack the TNA management, but also Hulk Hogan, Eric Bischoff, Garrett Bischoff and Ric Flair. During his rants, he even managed to throw Sting under the bus.
