They were right to keep their appointment with ROH. After all the two shows were not in one day and they had been booked for the ROH event so they did what was right and what any real man would do on their place. They were men of their word and I respect them for that!

Working two shows in two days doesn't quite make me respect people...but Aries and Strong are ver talented young athletes with a lot of potential.
But they should have a priority. They are getting paid big money in TNA - I'm sure it is a much higher amount than in RoH. So unless they have some special connection with RoH that makes them attend EVERY event, even if it puts their more 'important' job in jepordy(sp?) - then they should probably work for TNA.
Each to their own, but I believe the managment have made the right decision in this case.

And they are on the road for something like248 days a year...lazy TNA S.O.Bs
Ah yeah,hows the weather aye?
I have had a bit of a change of heart in regards to TNA...I saw the Impact before Destination X and that was good, very good
The only thing I find offputting is the finishes of matches/ the finishers of the wrestlers
Abyss has his Big Boss Man Slam (Black Hole whatever) and that is really just a glorified Sidewalk slam
The Stroke is quite possibly the worst finisher I have ever laid eyes on
Although someone on team Canada had a good finisher, some kind of Piledriver flippy thingo
But the stories were cool

Jonny I'm glad to hear you watched some TNA stuff and liked it! That shows me what an open minded person you are!
As for TNA wrestlers being lazy... I don't think so! They have to wrestle 2-3 times per week but that don't make them lazy. In WWE the matches are shorter and the risk is lower. If you want to survive as an indy wrestler you have to work for more than one place. TNA pays much lower than WWE. Some of the main eventers in TNA get a little bit over 1000 per Impact and a bonus for a PPV match! In WWE these numbers are different.
When you are an indy wrestler you can actually make just as much money as a WWE wrestler and with less work and even more sometimes but you must have a name in the business. Otherwise it will be hard for you!
Why then the famous WWE wrestlers won't go on the indy scene?!? Because the indy wrestlers work harder in their matches and if the injure themselves they will have serious problems. In WWE if you get injured you will still get payed. Another reason is the security. If you work for WWE then they keep you booked on their events but if you work for a couple of indy promotions then you have to keep yourself booked which is way not easy.
Here is a list of the salaries the WWE wrestlers received lately. The list includes the overal sum for each wrestler for the period October 2004 - February 2006! Have in mind the fact that not all of the wrestlers have been working for WWE for the whole time and that some extra information is given in the brackets where necessary. Don't forget that the taxes take away about 25% of the following salaries and a lot of money are spent for hotels, transport and similar stuff which the company never covers except in the cases when it is mentioned in the brackets!
- Ashley Massaro: $131,000

Big Show - $1,000,000
John Cena - $1,743,000 plus all that extra shit.
Triple H - $2,013,000 plus all that extra extra shit.
Errh. They are all so overpayed it's not funny. Triple H is getting it because he's sexing, John Cena is getting it cos he WAS the most over person in WWE, but what is so special about Big Show? He isnt doing anything good in WWE, and his wrestling skills aren;t too sharp.
Other ones that suprised me:
Rob Conway - $186,000 (when RVD is getting only $220,000)
Matt Striker - $43,000 (he should of kept teaching)
Coach - $175,000 (what does he do for that kind of pay??)
This was a good find, Pyro. If we had a rep system - I'd rep you. But we don't so I won't.

First of all the information is all checked and the numbers are correct as to my knowedge. I'm not sure who had made this public but I know that there was a leak of information and this was not supposed to be in the internet.
I had read these in a smark forum and then in another one... and then this Phil my brother mentioned posted it in the Bulgarian wrestling forum and in the end I decided to post it here.
By the way Phil is not the biggest smark (A fan who knows much about the pro wrestling) in Bulgaria... I am! ;D
