JEFF JARRETT MEETS WITH SPIKE EXECUTIVE ABOUT NETWORK RETURN IN AMERICA
Pro Wrestling Sheet has learned a high ranking executive from Spike met with Jeff Jarrett today … and their new deal in the UK wasn’t the only thing they discussed.
Sources tell us Scott Fishman — Senior Vice President and Executive Producer at the network — was present before Impact’s taping today and met with JJ about various topics, including a U.S. return.
According to a press release from when he was promoted to SVP in 2012, Fishman was “instrumental in developing” Impact Wrestling in the early days of the show. As we previously reported, the company’s weekly TV show will return to Spike in the UK starting in April. We’re told lots of promos for that were shot over the weekend. No word at this point on how far along talks progressed.
No no, non é scontato.
Dico solo che se Spike fosse ancora sul piede di guerra dopo il casino del 2013 e Russo, difficilmente avrebbe accettato di riaccogliere Impact in programmazione, anche "solo" negli UK.
Questo significa che c'é stata un'apertura, e Jarrett ad oggi sta facendo bene in questo.

TORONTO | NASHVILLE – IMPACT Wrestling, a subsidiary of Anthem Sports & Entertainment Corp., announced today the viewership results for its inaugural show that aired on PopTV on March 9, 2017.
Viewership on PopTV held steady week over week, but viewership on the IMPACT Wrestling YouTube channel and other social media outlets exploded, with new content attracting more than 2.4 million views through the weekend, an increase of more than 275% over the same period last week.
“We are thrilled to see this response from our fans. We wanted to deliver an on-screen product with a new energy that would captivate our audience. Early signs are that we are on the right track,” said Jeff Jarrett, Chief Creative Officer for IMPACT Wrestling. “The new on-screen branding was matched with new graphics across all IMPACT Wrestling platforms. The thrilling and exciting new open to the show and the abundance of new content across all platforms, including digital, reflect the enthusiastic energy that Kevin Sullivan has brought with him in his return to the show as Vice President of Production.”
During the week, IMPACT Wrestling also reached agreement with its partners in India to begin taping in India. On May 30 and May 31, episodes of IMPACT Wrestling will be taped in Mumbai to be aired in the four weeks leading up to Slammiversary. Discussions are now underway with local sponsors and promotions to launch a new show featuring local talent in association with the IMPACT Wrestling roster to be filmed in India commencing as early as Q4 2017.
“We are excited to be in a position to bring our show to our fans in India,” said Ed Nordholm, president of IMPACT Wrestling. “This is an initial step in what we hope will become a regular part of our programming cycle, leading to live events in all of our key markets.”
Mr. Nordholm also commented on management additions, noting that Scott D’Amore has agreed to join the company as Vice President of International Development, adding to his responsibilities on the creative team.
“International growth is a top priority for us and Scott will be a key member as we forge alliances with international partners to bring IMPACT Wrestling to these markets,” said Mr. Nordholm. “Scott finalized a working agreement with the popular Japan-based promotion, Pro-Wrestling NOAH, this past weekend, and stars Moose, James Storm and Eddie Edwards travelled to Japan with him to compete in Yokohama at The Great Voyage 2017.”
Scott D’Amore added: “I look forward to growing the brand on a worldwide level. In addition to this agreement with NOAH, we have reached an agreement with Crash Lucha, and I am actively working on other initiatives with local partners in Mexico, the United Kingdom and India.”
The roster continues to grow and new faces will premiere on IMPACT Wrestling every Thursday night. We have already witnessed the debut of world-renowned star, Alberto El Patron, and an exciting new tag-team has burst on the scene named Reno Scum. Familiar fan favorites will also return to the IMPACT Zone in the coming weeks, including Karen Jarrett, Magnus, Matt Morgan and The Notorious LAX.

Riassunto del video:
L'idea iniziale di Jarrett che aveva per la GFW sarà utilizzata in Impact, dove ci saranno show nazionali in India e UK sotto il marchio di Anthem e/o Impact.
Io spero vivamente che Impact possa tornare in alto, dato che questa sarà la loro ultima chance di risalita.
Piccola curiosità: per lo show inglese, ITV aveva pensato alla WCPW per produrre gli show, ma alla fine hanno optato per Impact, forse perchà gli hanno garantito al 100% l'utilizzo dei loro wrestler e delle varia fed associate (NOAH,CRASH e la nuova alleata la canadese BCW di Scott D'Amore).
I think I remember reading a news article that said TNA assured a certain TV channel (maybe Spike) that they did not have Vince Russo working in their company, but once that was found to be untrue, the TV channel eventually rid themselves of TNA from their programming. Is this true, and if so, what did the channel have against Russo? Thank you!
The story that is often passed around is that Spike dropped Impact because they were misled that Vince Russo was no longer working for the company when he was actually working there. Since I broke that Russo was secretly working for the company, another version that floats around is that I caused the cancellation via my reporting. The reality is that - and I hate to defend Russo, since he has out and out lied about me in the past - Russo had no bearing on Spike dropping the company.
When it came time to renegotiate a deal, Spike wanted to pay more money and Dixie Carter insisted on a raise in rights fees. One source has told me she was seeking a $26 million dollar deal. Spike refused, wanting a lesser deal (I have heard $14 and $16 million) and Carter refused and held fast. Spike then opted to drop the series, although Carter, realizing she lost the gold mine, tried to strike a new deal with Spike all the way to the end. It all had to do with TNA's negotiations, nothing more. I'd love to point the finger at Russo but he had not bearing on whether the series remained at Spike or not, and that's the truth. The blame falls at Dixie Carter's handling of the situation, based on multiple sources I've spoken to over the years. Anything else was immaterial.
Mark Madden, speaker presso alcune radio locali di Pittsburgh, riferisce che durante gli ultimi tapings di Impact, è successo un grave incidente, che potrebbe avere delle ripercussioni importanti se i dettagli verrebbero resi pubblici.
Justin LaBar, entrando più nello specifico, riferisce che l'incidente riguarda il management della federazione.
Il 'grande incidente' avvenuto ai tapings di Impact si é rivelato essere una discussione fra Bob Ryder e Jeff Jarrett, in merito a una questione di booking.
Quindi poca, pochissima roba.
D'altro canto, da Mark 'mi hanno respinto da PWInsider e per questo scrivo cazzate' Madden e Justin 'la WWE ha comprato la TNA' LeBar non dovevamo aspettarci altro.

Spero che l'incidente per Edwards non sia grave, anche perché penso che sarebbe tornato in Giappone con una title shot importante da sfruttare, peccato eventualmente se l'infortunio lo terrà a lungo fuori. L'anno primo Davey quest'anno lui...
It seems like you're referring to a situation involving the state of Tennessee taking action against TNA (Total Nonstop Action) to collect unpaid taxes. TNA, a professional wrestling promotion company, may have owed taxes to the state, prompting Tennessee authorities to pursue the matter. This action could involve various measures such as issuing notices, imposing penalties, or initiating legal proceedings to recover the unpaid taxes. The specifics of the situation would depend on the amount owed, the duration of non-payment, and other factors.
