16:16.. foreshadowing. October 2010, the first show after Bound for Glory: two hour show, six minutes of wrestling, included a talking segment that went nearly a whole hour.
I'm not sure TNA needed to fire a lot of people then so much as it needed to stop screwing with their outside bookings. Yeah, TNA learned it could make money by taking it out of what another promotion was paying a wrestler contracted to them and make even more by charging other promotions to use their talent but what a disaster that turned into down the line. I never really get why companies ever get that right. CMLL, for like 80 years, has been "if we aren't using you, go ahead, just get back when we want you." It's far from perfect, they do have certain companies they won't allow talent to go to, implicitly or explicitly, they will come down on luchadors with little notice but nonetheless the most conservative promotion in the world remains among the most progressive on that front. Jerry said TNA would be the first promotion to truly treat its talent like independent contractors, it was a disappointment.
Oh, Scott Steiner beat John Cena in 2002 when Cena was still a jobber for WWE. I asked about it since this video game up in my recommended again. Steiner beat Triple H in their first match, but Triple H retained the belt. Scott Steiner "beat" Batista in one of those bullshit under two minute WWE "main events" by disqualification.

Weird hearing them talk about Benoit not being on TV in hindsight. He would only live another 4 months.
Steiner probably beat Hunter once on a WCW show when he went by Terra Rizan...
Totally beat HHH. XD
good review
