Has Jeff Jarrett played Anthem like a fiddle? Instead of admitting that Global Force Wrestling was an abject failure of huge proportions, and their titles are meaningless, he's now in a position of power with Impact Wrestling so can position this as a merger between two companies.
Unless Anthem has bought the rights to Global Force Wrestling and just hasn’t told anyone, it’s hard to argue with you here. Since Jarrett has come in, the booking has told us that the old TNA stunk so they were going to make it great again. Their way of making it great again? They have largely just pushed Global Force Wrestling and that obviously works to his advantage. So yes that works great for Jarrett, but if I am Anthem I would be pretty ticked off. I paid significant money for the TNA Impact brand and it has been hurt a lot in just five months. Anthem bought Impact. I think they need to start pushing and promoting Impact, not GFW.
You never hear about Summer Rae; is she still with the company?
Yes, she has been out rehabbing back and neck injuries. She is still with WWE and is said to be close to being ready to wrestle, if not already there.
Do you think it would be a good idea to put the title on Jinder Mahal since it appears Rusev is challenging the winner and would be more consistent with their Raw feud? I like turning Rusev face since his personality on Total Divas showcases a side I think fans can get behind. However, do you hotshot the title or do you risk killing Rusev's momentum before it starts?
Personally, I think Jinder should win tonight just because it will give the company the chance to elevate his character. If he loses, then it will look like it was just a one month angle and he will go back to not mattering. If they do put it on him, sure I would like to see him work with Rusev. They are two guys that deserve more than WWE has given them.
With The Rock being one of the highest, if not THE highest, paid actors in Hollywood currently, if the WWE wanted him for a Wrestlemania to just show up for a cameo, do they have to pay a premium, higher end of the range price to get him or since the WWE is where he more or less started to get his major fame, does he cut them a better deal price wise compared if someone else in the industry (IE for commercials, guest appearance, etc) would have to pay for him to appear for the day? Kind of like his way of saying thanks for everything to Vince/WWE?
I have never heard anything that would say he holds them up for top dollar. He loves to appear and appreciates the WWE part of his career and the business on the whole.
WWE Officials throughout the years have given the likes of top Superstars such as Hulk Hogan, John Cena, The Rock, JBL, Randy Orton and even announcer Michael Cole backstage powers and now it seems is that if Roman Reigns may have been getting some backstage influence courtesy of Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn. Even though McMahon still has the final say, why do the big names get backstage powers?
It just makes sense. As management trusts a person more, they get more responsibility. In the case of top guys, they deserve the extra power. Being a draw adds to your value and position.
