A Message From TNA President Dixie Carter To The TNA Fans News 
September 19th, 2006 07:41

“In the course of history, there are defining moments that change the fabric of a company forever. These are moments that are spoken about for years, not days, and serve as benchmarks in the annals of a company’s growth. And on occasion, those moments transcend the individual company and re-write the history of an industry. This Sunday at the NO SURRENDER PPV, an announcement will be made that will do just that. You will not want to miss the NO SURRENDER PPV.”

Any guesses as to what this announcment may be?

Probably, either that TNA is getting a new timeslot/2 hour show, or Jeff Jarrett is oficially being fired from the company. Either way, i'll be happy.

I doubt it is Angle. Firstly, he hasn't had time to heal his injuries. Secondly, isn't he under a 90 day no compete clause?

I highly doubt it's a Kurt announcement. He does have the no-compete clause until February which was what I heard.

I think it will be about TNA get a second hour and going head to head with RAW on Mondays! Monday Night Wars II! Ok scratch the second part, but I think the first part will be the big news.

Where did you hear that? He was released earlier this month. February would make the no-complete clause have roughly a 5 month life. Isn't 90 days the standard. But I do agree it won't be Kurt.

If it was Kurt, they could just say that when he's fit to wrestle and the no compete clause is up, all he has to do is sign the dotted line to make it official. That way ppl would be tuning in to see his debut.

I really hope it is NOT Goldberg, i never liked him in WCW or in WWE. Him being in TNA would be no difference. But i'd really enjoy to here them getting a new timeslot and more time. That'd make me happier. There wrestling is so much more inovative than the WWE.

Possibilities

2 hour timeslot

Moved to Mondays

Bobby Roode's manager is announced (doubtful)

New wrestler

NOTE: About Kurt Angle, I heard somewhere that Kurt wouldn't go to TNA because it would upset Vince.

I thought I had read that at PWI, but a five month clause is mighty long. 90 days makes more sense because it is standard. But there are 30 day clauses, 120 days clauses, etc. Maybe if the E was truly worried about him which I'm sure they are, they would make a 5 month no-compete clause.

It still seems extreme though.

Oh I really hope it's a 2 hour time slot, I've lost my interest in Goldberg for a while now.

If it's Roode's manager, I guess that'll be good though I would'nt dig to much into it seeing as it came from the actual president herself.

A Jarrett firing would be the best thing to happen to the belt and promotion so I guess we'll see.

Here's where I read about the no-compete clause till February, and other tidbits.

While some Internet speculation about TNA's upcoming "major announcement" has pointed in the way of Kurt Angle, the Wrestling-Observer Newsletter reports that a TNA deal is one of the papers Angle is least likely to sign.

The recently-released WWE wrestler has been investigating options in MMA (and has garnered the interest of virtually every major wrestling and MMA promoter), but in terms of wrestling, it's unlikely he would take a job that puts him in direct competition with WWE.

Angle wants to remain on good terms with the company—sources say that he has proposed WrestleMania ideas and even written a letter asking for his job back.

Plus, with a no-compete clause that reportedly lasts through February, he is unable to start for TNA at this time.

In terms of the actual TNA announcement, prime candidates include news of a two-hour timeslot or a deal with Bill Goldberg, but nothing is confirmed.

Here's what I got from PWinsider, about the Major Announcement. And if this is the case, don't get your hopes up:

[size=-5]The Wrestling Observer is reporting that TNA's big surprise announcement this weekend will be the return of Vince Russo, who will join the TNA creative end (no word on an on camera role, but if history is any indication...) There were rumors of this making the rounds over the last 24 hours.[/size]

I fail to see how that would "transcend the individual company and re-write the history of an industry", but then again not much can live up to that type of hype anyway.

TNA News: Vince Russo hired by TNA to head up the creative team, D'Amore and Tenay out[/size]

By Wade Keller, Torch editor
Sep 21, 2006, 16:29
source: PWTorch

Dixie Carter has made a decision to shake-up the creative team, and bring in Vince Russo to be the primary creative force on the booking team, which will still involve Jeff Jarrett and Dutch Mantell. Scott D'Amore and Mike Tenay will not be part of the committee.

KELLER'S ANALYSIS: If this is TNA's "big surprise," Dixie Carter greaty overstated what this means to the wrestling industry. What could change the wrestling industry is if TNA fixes it's problems and begins to promote a better booked product. But hiring Russo and booking a better product are not necessarily the same thing. At this point, any chance is good, but there are obvious concerns with Russo given his track record as since working closely with Vince McMahon, he has not experiened success. Russo being brought on board extends the liklihood that Jeff Jarrett will remain the central figure in the promotion, as the two are very good friends (who, like many friends do, have gone through difficulties and disputes with each other). Dutch Mantell is also considered an extension of Jarrett. So this move appears to be leaving in place the primary factor that most believe is what is holding TNA back. That said, the booking was a problem, and Russo will at least create change.

Guys I found an update on this, and apparently the news is wrong.

PWTorch

The new TNA booking committee is Vince Russo, Jeff Jarrett, and Dutch Mantel. Russo will be the primary creative force in terms of presenting ideas and a vision, while Jarrett and Mantel will take part in discussions of how to execute those ideas.

[size=7]Russo being hired is NOT the major announcement TNA has promised. The announcement being made on Sunday will be big, according to sources who have talked to people who know, and not a letdown. [/size]

Scott D'Amore, Mike Tenay, and Jeremy Borash - all formerly part of the committee - will remain with the company. Tenay will remain an announcer, Borash will work in production and on-air as interviewer, and D'Amore will be reassigned.


I'm thinking a Monday night, two hour slot hopefully.

Vince Russo is returning to TNA this weekend on a creative level and that is believed to be the big announcement the company will be making this Sunday at the No Surrender PPV.

PWInsider.com is reporting that a number of TNA personalities were informed of this decision this morning and an official announcement to the entire TNA crew is expected to take place prior to the No Surrender PPV this Sunday. There is already frustration among several within TNA about this decision and morale is already expected to take a huge dive among the TNA roster.

Given Russo's track record, it is safe to say many are not looking forward to this new move. It is no secret that Russo and Jeff Jarrett are good friends and with the two working together as the central part of the booking committee along with Dutch Mantel (who is said to be an extension of Jarrett), you can pretty much expect Jarrett to remain the focus of TNA (which is something many people were hoping was going to stop given the drop in ratings) unless they intend to make drastic changes to help turn the company around.

Others are taking a "wait and see" approach with this entire situation as Russo has yet to book a PPV or TV taping yet with Jarrett and Mantel. After the PPV and TV tapings wrap up this Sunday and Monday, we will no doubt have a good idea of what direction that company will be headed with the return of Russo. There are also others wondering what this does for Jim Cornette's status with TNA as Russo and Cornette have a long history of dislike for each other. Cornette was very upset when Russo booked the "Oklahoma" character in WCW mocking Jim Ross, which later saw Cornette spit on Ed Ferrara (Russo's writing partner) at one point. What makes Russo's return to TNA so interesting is that Cornette has stated in many interviews that he felt Russo was to blame for the "disintegration of the business" in general. At this point, the two will more than likely be kept apart from each other at TNA events or it could be safe to say that Cornette's run with TNA might end faster than it started.

To follow up on the announcement that TNA will be bringing Vince Russo back to the company to work on the creative team, PWInsider.com is reporting that Russo was in Nashville, TN at TNA's office yesterday working for the first time. The feeling within TNA was that the previous writing team had "hit a wall" so to speak creatively and a change was needed to shake things up.

As noted earlier, the new creative team will consist of Vince Russo and Dutch Mantel, with Jeff Jarrett remaining in his previous role as an editor with lots of power of what does and what doesn't go down. Mike Tenay and Scott D'Amore are now officially off the team. Tenay will assume his roles on commentary with Don West, while D'Amore will remain with the company in what appears to be an undetermined backstage role. Jeremy Borash's new role still remains unclear, although one report has stated he will focus more on his production and on-camera duties.

In what could be the most interesting thing to note today, at no point did any sources close to TNA indicate that the news of Vince Russo returning to the company had anything to do with the "big announcement" TNA President Dixie Carter was speaking about on TNA's website that will be announced this Sunday at the No Surrender PPV. While it is very possible the announcement to be made on Sunday will be Vince Russo's return to the company, it is also possible at the same time that the Russo situation is a completely separate issue altogether and that something else could be in the works. Don't forget to join us here on WrestleView.com starting at 8pm Eastern/7pm Central for *live* coverage of No Surrender and the result of the big annnouncement at the pay per view.


See what I have in bold.....it's just damn ridiculous.

After reading everything up to this point, I don't think Russo's return is the "big announcement". TNA would be breaking kayfabe if it was. As far as TNA storylines are concerned, Jim Cornette is the guy with the power, the guy that books the matches, and the guy with the final say so (even though we all know that he has no such power in reality). If TNA comes out and announces that Russo is really the guy booking all this, then where does that leave Cornette's character? Cornette could possibly be finished with TNA since he and Russo reportedly dislike each other, but I still don't see TNA break kayfabe for such an unimportant event.

Also, I tend to agree with JD Storm. Russo didn't help WCW. Russo didn't do anything when he temporarily returned to WWE. And Russo didn't do anything either time he booked TNA. His return isn't going to be a miracle change for TNA.

Maybe this could be part of the announcement sunday.

Spike TV and TNA are said to be very close on a new deal for a better weekly timeslot. We will follow this situation as it develops.


Edit:
PWT
 

Dixie Carter is the one who started talks with Vince Russo to bring him back to TNA, not Jeff Jarrett. It remains unknown if Carter went to Jarrett after she finalized a deal with Russo for his return or if he was aware the entire time about the talks. By hiring Russo, Carter feels she will see TNA go in a new direction after attempts by Jarrett, Dusty Rhodes and Scott D'Amore as head bookers weren't as successful as hoped.

Based on what is known right now, Carter is said to be very excited about the plans Vince Russo has for TNA in the coming months and feels the company may actually have a strong direction ahead after the former booking committee (Jeff Jarrett, Dutch Mantel, Mike Tenay, Scott D'Amore & Jeremy Borash) basically "hit a wall" so to speak in terms of creative ideas.

One report has stated that Russo has been given the green light by Carter to push whoever he wants in the main event scene and that it is very possible Jeff Jarrett will not be main eventing a pay per view for TNA after October's Bound For Glory event. It is interesting to note that while many have described Dutch Mantel as an extension of Jeff Jarrett, he has been overheard criticizing some ideas Jarrett has come up with behind closed doors. Basically, with Russo being given power to take TNA in a new direction, people won't be fearful of being honest with Jarrett anymore as that might have been before.

Whether or not people are fans of Vince Russo returning to the company right now, TNA needed to do something to freshen things up creatively and this is the moves they are making at this time.

I don't know, but it's going to be fixed.

Edit - I heard somewhere that it's a 2 hour timeslot on monday's, but I seriously doubt it, it would'nt be wise either on TNA's part.

I don't know anything about this site and can not vouch for its credibility but this is the report. I don't know if this is a good news report or a site spreading a rumor.

From FHWrestling.com:

Brian Cantor can confirm that the announcement TNA has planned for this sunday's No Surrender pay per view is that Spike TV has granted TNA a two hour Monday night slot in the same timeslot as WWE RAW on USA. This is what TNA president Dixie Carter meant when she said "And on occasion, those moments transcend the individual company and re-write the history of an industry" This will signal the rebirth of the Monday Night Wars and a new era in professional wrestling, and we as a wrestling community couldnt be more excited.
