I just don't know whats going on with TNA these days.  They get rid of Bischoff and the Aces and 8s along with it. It starts to get better. Then they re-hire f*****g Russo?!  Most of the roster has been let go and we have a bunch of rejects 'the menagerie' and MVP turning heel (because with Russo obviously every authority has to be a heel) and none of the story lines making one bit of sense.

 

Tna has finally sunk.

Tna has finally sunk.

Believe it or not, it's even worse behind the scenes...

 

We reported earlier this week that the TNA production crew had threated to walk out of the last Impact Wrestling tapings due to late payments. Everything was worked out and the staff received their checks before anyone actually walked out, but more information was given today, courtest of The Wrestling Observer newsletter.

 
Prior to being paid at this past week's set of tapings, some of the production members hadn't been paid since early March. And while most people were upset over the situation, not all of them threatened to walk out. 
 
This same situation with production apparently happened last year around this time. It's believed that Janice Carter, Dixie's mom and the one who controls the company finances, earmarks a certain amount of new month in order to finance times the company is losing money. This held money is outside of the revenue the company makes itself.
 
Due to TNA taping so many events and pay-per-views during a short period of time, so far ahead, they simply didn't have the money. It's what got them into financial trouble last year, reports The Observer.
 
It is believed that the incident this year was isolated, and NOT normal, however. In 2013, crew members and talent were being paid late regularly. These days, although checks may arrive a few days late occasionally, TNA remains up-to-date and on time with their pay.

 

The Menagerie is definitely livening up TNA, but it's vastly outweighed by MVP's heel turn now. At least there's only one WWE reject in there (Knux).

TNA's not alone in their problems though; WWE's definitely having financial problems of their own...

 

 

WWE has announced an emergency conference call this Monday to address its investors and discuss the company's 2014/2015 direction. 


WWE? to Host Business Outlook Conference Call
 
STAMFORD, Conn., May 16, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) ? WWE announced that it will host a conference call on Monday, May 19, 2014 to discuss the Company?s 2014 and 2015 Business Outlook. The Company?s Chairman & CEO, Vincent K. McMahon, and the Company?s Chief Strategy & Financial Officer, George Barrios, will host the conference call beginning at 11:00 a.m. ET.
 
All interested parties are welcome to listen to a live web cast that will be hosted through the Company?s web site at corporate.wwe.com . Participants can access the conference call by dialing 1-888-424-8151 or 1-847-585-4422 using the passcode: 7849998. Please reserve a line 15 minutes prior to the start time of the conference call.
 
The Company?s Business Outlook release to be referenced during the call is available at ir.corporate.wwe.com . A replay of the call will be available after the conference call concludes, and can be accessed on the Company?s web site.
 
Lemelson Capital announced this week that they had purchased a stake in World Wrestling Entertainment, and have asked the board of directors to remove "the executive management team" after a "period of consistent losses execution issues and material misstatements." Among Lemelson's issues, they have a problem with the way WWE has been explaining and promoting the Network to investors, and that the company stands to lose between $45 million and $52 million in 2014. 
 
The conference call should reiterate statements made by Vince McMahon in the past, and confirmed by several others sources, that essential reinforce the stance that WWE is aware of the net loss for 2014, and that the cost of launching the WWE Network is a long-term plan that will pay for itself in 2015 if a certain number of subscribers is met.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival

      By Steven P. · Posted

      HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art. In the video published on HONOR’s official channel (above), Robot Phone was used byELLEMEN to capture cinematic video portraits for the SIFF jury members. With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality. By minimizing reliance on electronic image stabilization, the device effectively avoids the image cropping and quality loss typically associated with digital stabilization methods. Representing an innovative leap in form factor, the HONOR Robot Phone features the industry's smallest titanium alloy gimbal, delivering ultra-precision, extreme flexibility, and superior stability. Driven by high-performance motors, the gimbal rises dynamically, breaking free from the physical limitations of traditional camera modules. Combined with advanced AI algorithms that enable intelligent object tracking and various movements with stable shots, the device significantly simplifies video creation and reshapes both the equipment choices and creative habits of modern users. Notably, the Robot Phone will be the first product that features the results of HONOR's strategic technological partnership with ARRI, the world-renowned designer and manufacturer of professional camera technology for cinematic storytelling. From Cannes to Shanghai, the HONOR Robot Phone continues to lead the mobile imaging industry into an entirely new stage of development. Moving forward, HONOR will leverage cutting-edge AI and mobile imaging technologies to unlock new creative possibilities and extend cinematic standards for visual expression from the world of high-end filmmaking to the next generation of content creators.

      I'll wait for the root cause analysis. Looks like it's HP, Lenova, and certain configurations that are askew, hardly "all of windows." Time will tell.

      I had issues with my NVME, it was running really slow (like 2/3 mb bandwidth) ... had to revert via System Restore and all is fine now.
