Originally Posted by Observer The situation with TNA and Billy Corgan had a few twists and turns this morning stemming from a New York Post article by Richard Morgan. The key to the story at this point is that even though TNA is being controlled and funded by Anthem Sports & Entertainment, for reasons of saving money based on the Corgan contract, they are claiming they haven't been sold, even though for all real purposes they have. The point to this is that Corgan's deal with TNA when fronting them $1.8 million (a figure Corgan has now confirmed) is that if the company was sold, he was entitled to a 50% transfer fee, meaning the company would owe him $2.7 million. Anthem Sports has been willing to pay Corgan $1.8 million, or at times $1.9 million (claiming they were willing to pay six percent interest), but not $2.7 million, and also insist on him dropping his lawsuit against them before they would pay him. Corgan is asking for the money, but refuses to drop the lawsuit, and claims that if they don't pay him he has the right to convert the payment into 36 percent of TNA stock. It would be a minority interest. Anthem is clearly avoiding the term purchase of TNA and going through with an actual purchase, in order to avoid the transfer fee. In court they had said they would pay the amount of $1.9 million (they said the number owed plus six percent interest) on November 1st. As of today, it had not been paid. TNA is demanding that if they paid the money, that Corgan sign a release, breaking all ties between the company which would mean that he would have to drop the ongoing lawsuit and could not sue the company going forward.

Originally Posted by Observer New Japan is also likely to announce at least some of the Tokyo Dome matches for 1/4 either tonight or at a press conference over the next few days. What is most likely is they will shoot a lot of angles tonight, since Power Struggle usually is an angle-filled show, and then the match announcements will take place in a few days.

Originally Posted by Observer TNA head writer David Lagana announced today that he has left the company ... Lagana started with TNA in 2011 after being hired from ROH. In a farewell article he noted learning from Vince McMahon, Paul Heyman, Dusty Rhodes, Pat Patterson, Gerry Brisco, Shawn Michaels, Paul Levesque, Michael Hayes, Brian Gewirtz, Adam Pearce, Hunter Johnston, Matt Conway, Billy Corgan, Vince Russo, Eric Bischoff, Bruce Prichard, Jeff Jarrett, and Dutch Mantel. It is very notable he did not include John Gaburick or Dixie Carter on that list. Lagana was expected to be a more powerful player in the new TNA under Corgan, but he was expected to be in a tenuous position when Corgan didn't get control of the company.

Originally Posted by Observer In an announcement on Friday, FloSports revealed that independent promotions Beyond Wrestling and PWX would be airing live events on the streaming service. FloSlam will stream Beyond's December 11th event in Melrose, MA, along with PWX's two-night X16 tournament on November 19th-20th. The promotions are the second and third announced additions to the lineup, with the company previously announcing that they had reached an exclusive multi-year deal to stream events from EVOLVE and the rest of the World Wrestling Network. Beyond tweeted that, for now, their deal is only for the December 11th show and 90-day rights to its VOD ... FloSlam will broadcast its first live pro wrestling show tonight with SHINE 38. The subscription costs $20 a month or $150 for a year.

Drew Galloway just posted on twitter that he would be out of action longer than he had hoped for. Update on return pic.twitter.com/V7bUJNG9fC — Drew Galloway (@GallowaySpeaks) November 4, 2016 Galloway, who suffered a neck injury in September when he was dropped badly on his head, and hasn't been able to wrestle since, formally announced that he would be missing his November 11th date in London, England, where he was to face Tomoaki Honma on a joint show with New Japan and Revolution Pro Wrestling, which was actually a pretty big deal because he'd be seen by New Japan officials, and his November 12th date in EVOLVE where he was to headline the show in Queens, NY, against Matt Riddle ... UPDATE: WWE has given Tommy End permission to work the EVOLVE shows on November 12th in Queens, NY and November 13th in Joppa, MD to replace Galloway. However they are not allowing the End matches to stream on FloSports.

Originally Posted by Observer With Tommy End replacing Drew Galloway on next week's Evolve shows, the lineups are changing for both the show in Queens, NY and in Joppa, MD. The new lineups are expected to be announced on Monday. End's matches will not be allowed by WWE to air on Flo Slam, which I guess tells you what WWE really thinks of the Flo Slam. In a similar situation, New Japan is allowing its talent appear on Revolution Pro's streaming service when they go to the U.K. for shows next week.

According to the latest issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE is looking at bringing Japanese talents Io Shirai and Kairi Hojo into the company. The women are reportedly leaving Japan’s Stardom promotion, but it was said Stardom is said to be attempting to retain Hojo. Both of them leaving would reportedly ‘devastate’ the company because they are two of Stardom’s biggest draws, but they could both possibly stay with Stardom through March or April of next year. It’s unknown what either woman’s role would be with WWE as the Observer was not clear if they would be full-time or part-time, or what brand they would start with, just that WWE was showing interesting in them both. Sharai will reportedly finish up in Japan after an anniversary show in Japan on March 20th, and Hojo will work a homecoming show in April. The timing is interesting because the Observer also mentioned on a related note that the reported women’s tournament in WWE would start to tape in January or March.

Some new details about possible dates for when both Japanese women wrestlers could be leaving Japan for the WWE.

Hogan remained in the discussion when Hall harkened back to WCW’s World War 3 pay per view from November of 1997. Hall won the 60-man World War 3 match, which—allegedly—assured him a future title shot with the WCW champion. “I won at World War 3, and I was supposed to get the title shot at SuperBrawl,” explained Hall. “That was traditionally a big draw for WCW, and I was supposed to be the main event there vs. Sting. But Hulk c---blocked that and he took the main event spot and I never got the title match. That’s WCW in a nutshell.”

Hogan being a dickbag story from back in the day. Story comes from a recent interview Scott Hall had with Sports Illustrated. http://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2016...-jesse-ventura
