I'd like to see a Beer Money reunion on the main roster. Spuds gone too apparently.

WWE might not want him back. He was on NXT for a few shows and then quit to go back to TNA. They may have taken it as disrespect, you never know how Vince is going to react to something like that.

Re: TNA/GFW/Impact Thread (Spoilers)
I watched an old best of 2016 show yesterday and it's surprising how many people have left since then. Biggest loss was the Hardyz but there was also Kurt, Bobby Roode, The Miracle and Maria, Aron Rex, Cody and Brandi to name a few. The recent Impact I saw was poorly attended. You know I think Anthem should work with Billy and turn GFW/Impact into a televised NWA show. It was NWA-TNA back in the day so it's like Impact going full circle.

Laurel has been one of the funniest gimmicks on Impact. She could turn up in WWE as she's dating the Woo Woo Kid.
This would make a great Christmas gift, buy now they only have 50,000 more in stock!!!

Re: TNA/GFW/Impact Thread (Spoilers)
Former WWE / TNA star Tyrus was a recent guest on the Arm Drag Takedown podcast with Pollo Del Mar, and spoke about what led to his Impact Wrestling departure.
Tyrus explained that behind-the-scenes issues with Jeff Jarrett and TNA management led to him leaving the company; you can read a few excerpts from the interview and listen to the show below:
“When Jeff Jarrett came along — because him and I have an uncomfortable history — I just wasn’t comfortable with the management. They [TNA] didn’t want me working for Jeff.
Basically, it came down to either stay with Impact or I could go with Global. I was making more with Impact, and Global didn’t have the resources to pay me what I was making. [Jeff] was basically saying it was better for me to come to Global, because Impact was about to fold. He was very adamant about that. Two weeks later, at the TV tapings, guess whose ass is there working the shows? Jeff Jarrett,” Tyrus said in a jaw-dropping revelation. “I was like, ‘Bitch, [are] you crazy?!?’ Who does that?”
Tyrus went on to explain how he felt about the situation and Jarrett’s betrayal, and said he intentionally avoided the GFW invasion angle to avoid Jarrett.
“Check it: If I would have quit and taken money out of my family’s mouths, went and worked there and then, ‘Oh, we’re going to have to go work Impact…’ How would that have gone?!”
Tyrus also said once Jarrett moved up in power with Impact, he knew his time with the company was drawing to a close.
“I was like, ‘Oh, shit! Well, I’m out.’ Unless [Jarrett] and I were going to have a sitdown, which just wasn’t going to happen, I knew this was not going to be a spot for me,” he said. “I just wasn’t comfortable with it.”
I hope he meant that literally and gives his family money like Ted DiBiase did to jobbers.taken money out of my family’s mouths

He's a 2 time heavyweight champ now.
He still should have stuck with WWE and became an announcer though.

Re: TNA/GFW/Impact Thread (Spoilers)
If EC3 makes it in WWE he should definitely be viewed as a TNA success story because he sucked when he came in after leaving NXT and improved greatly there.
And I'm surprised they did that baseball bat spot, usually only hardcore promotions who don't give a shit do that because of that reason. Hitting a chair with another chair like everybody else did pre-Benoit is much safer.

He's 64 but could still work a better match than Jinder.
