Several Backstage Blowups In TNA This Past Week
There have been a number of backstage altercations in TNA Wrestling over the past week or two. Here’s the latest:
– There was a massive edit for last week’s TNA iMPACT! as Lacey Von Erich fell flat on her face when she ran to the ring to do a run-in during the Knockouts elimination match. The issues with Von Erich don’t end there as she suffered a minor hamstring injury while training at the Impact Zone and made it known all night that she was in pain. She then reportedly told a male trainer to go and get her an ice pack and the guy ended up walking in to see a half-dressed Awesome Kong who was obviously not happy. We’re told Kong grabbed Von Erich and took her to the trainers room where she proceeded to cut a promo on her in front of Kurt Angle. When Von Erich went to TNA management to complain, they ended up siding with Kong.
– According to the PWTorch Newsletter, AJ Styles went off on Vince Russo and was frustrated over “what he argued was dismal booking of him early in his run as champion.” Styles feels he’s been made to look like a weak champion by Russo. Samoa Joe also had some beef with TNA management, but it was not wrestling-related, Samoa Joe complained that TNA blew-off of a commitment to use his friend’s catering business at the Bound For Glory PPV in California. Joe complaining about catering .. insert joke here.
– Chris Sabin suffered a concussion at the TNA Impact TV tapings on Wednesday night in Orlando, FL. Sabin’s concussion took place during a tag team match between The Motor City Machineguns and Team 3D when Sabin landed awkwardly. Sabin reportedly told people backstage that he was out cold during the match, but somehow regained his composure and finished the finish. We’re told Kevin Nash blew up backstage about the incident and was overhead yelling at Team 3D for not killing the original finish as he felt Sabin’s health should have been the first priority. Nash felt that as veterans, Team 3D should have made that call on the fly and that someone in production could have given a cue to the referee to end the match. While it probably won’t air, Nash did walk out in front of the Impact Zone and cut a promo about how upset he was that the match continued as Sabin was laying on the ring apron. Sabin was said to be feeling much better after the taping had finished. Nash is being praised by other wrestlers with the company for looking out for the safety of his coworkers.

Thats a whole lotta blow-up… But when theres backstage altercations, do they really cut promos? If so, get a camera back there!
Not sure how credible a lot of the TNA rumors are. A year ago it was said that everyone was disappointed when Nash resigned instead of going off to be HBK’s bodyguard again in WWE… now suddenly Booker T’s the one everyone hates and Nash is suddenly all concerned about other wrestlers well-being and everyone’s praising him? These younger stars in TNA that supposedly have egos shouldn’t have egos… TNA and ego are a contradiction in terms. These guys should be happy that they have the opportunity to be on TV since they weren’t given that by WWE, and all working together to make TNA worth something instead of “WWE lite” or “recycled WCW.”
GC I actually have to correct you on a few things, first off the following people have been offered contracts either once or even twice by WWE but turned them down cause they new they would be buried:
1- Samoa Joe
2- AJ Styles
3- Christopher Daniels
4- Robert Roode
5- Matt Morgan
6- Hernandez
7- Homicide
And those are just the documented ones let’s not forget Nigel from ROH was supposed to sign w them and bailed for TNA cause he knew there was opportunity that he wouldn’t get with WWE. You say they shouldn’t have ego’s and they don’t it’s HHH Orton n HBK who have egos and don’t want to lose their spots. That’s why there’s no new talent in the Raw main events you can look back years and since WM21 the main events on raw have had some combo of HHH HBK Orton and Cena the same recycled bs. An hr n a half of skits and comedy with guest hosts like Piven who know nothing about wrestling and only a half hr of real wrestling. The vets in TNA put over the young guys to help make new talent perfect example Sting putting over AJ, Nash put over EY, 3D puts over Beer Money n the British Invasion all the time and just as recently as this week Kurt put over AJ, Morgan, and Nigel in 2 days let me know when HHH does that.
TNAs biggest problem is who they have booking Russo and Ferrara will run them into the ground if they want to elevate the booking they need to call Heyman and offer him anything he wants and his booking genius will elevate TNA to the next level and put them in position to compete there’s no doubt in my mind about that at all.
