Chris Harris abandona TNA


A saída do "Wildcat" Chris Harris pode ter sido uma grande supresa para várias pessoas, mas realmente era algo que estava a se antever a algum tempo.A cerca de um mês atrás o proprio Chris Harris escreveu um artigo no blog oficial do próprio onde queixava-se da TNA não lhe deixar desenvolver. Aqui fica um excerto:

"That glass ceiling that I was suppose to break through suddenly had a trap door that fell right on top of me. Dustin Rhodes returned to TNA and cost me to lose the match with Christian. Within days I found myself locked in a feud with a re-creation of Golddust with a sick...evil twist. Nothing against Dustin...because I like him and he has had a great career, but how does this help me? In a matter of weeks I went from the main events to the bottom of the card in matches that were barely talked about. My TV time was cut in half. I was told when we went to 2 hours things would change. The next two months my matches with Dustin at the PPVs were not even mentioned when building for the show. Somehow I managed to get the task of making sure Black Reign made a huge impact in TNA...at Chris Harris' expense!" "I will first say that Kurt has earned his spot in wrestling. He is one of the greatest performers I have ever seen...but how much Kurt Angle do we need. It wasn't that he wasn't good in his role because he is very entertaining. We just don't need 11 segments of Kurt in one show. (I counted one night while watching Impact)"

Neste momento é confirmada a partida do "Wildcat" da TNA e quanto ao que o futuro lhe reserva apenas puderemos afirmar que os rumores apontam a sua contratação por parte da WWE. Mas são apenas rumores que ainda não foram confirmados...

James Mitchell responde a criticos

James Mitchell aproveitou o espaço MySpace para postar algumas ideias,pensamentos e respostas, principalmente aos criticos do Wrestling na Internet. Seguem-se alguns excertos desse texto:

"In my view, most critics and pundits are just that because they long to be part of a pursuit they may genuinely enjoy but, for various reasons, can't. It gives them a sense of being connected and playing a role in something greater than themselves, whether they are conscious of it or not. They get a "rub". This includes 95% of all unemployed, disgruntled wrestlers who lash out at former colleagues on the internet."

"It strikes me as unrewardingly masochistic for people to spend time obsessing and bitching about something they despise instead of productively pursuing an interest that brings them pleasure. Such behavior is no different than an angry ex-lover who can't get beyond telling everyone that their former mate was an asshole."

"I've never met a critic of mine in person who didn't immediately start back-peddling on their negative opinions and I've never brought their opinions up, either. Why would I validate their existence? They just nervously tremble, look mesmerized, and offer to buy me a beer or a meal while I politely smile."

"As long as they continue to watch me on television in order to write their rants, critics keep my Neilsen ratings consistent. In their zealous quest to harm me, they wind up helping me. Ratings affect my career. Message boards don't. That's why I would like to say to the minority that constitutes my personal critics, by all means, continue to watch and bitch about me in your blogs and message boards. Please accept my sincere thanks for your support."

Ainda não foi hoje que deixámos de ver Senshi na TNA. Senshi continua a trabalhar nas gravações do Impact em Orlando, e competiu inclusivé no X-Division gauntlet match desta semana onde ficou classificado em 2º.
Relembro que foi noticiado em varios sites que após o pay-per-view do ultimo mês Senshi tinha pedido para ser libertado numa reunião com a Presidente da TNA.
