Follow-up on the Last Post

From F4W Online

--Here is an update on the Jeff Jarrett/TNA/Kurt Angle situation. Ever since the mysterious TNA person on Bubba the Love Sponge said that Jarrett and Karen Angle were together, Dixie Carter ordered Jarrett to go home, which has been described publicly as him agreeing to take a leave of absence. At the house show on Saturday night, Angle was telling people that he is going to end up with booking control of the company that Jarrett had and that he won't sign a new contract if Jarrett remains in power. Nobody really know how things transpire from here. Jarrett was booked in segments on last night's show that were either tweaked or removed. The direction of the booking last night was planned before any of this went down as the TVs for the next month were written before the Bubba stuff happened, although everything involving Jarrett obviously has had to be tweaked. Generally speaking, the wrestlers are sympathetic to Kurt Angle on this one aside from those who have naturally close ties with Jarrett. TNA people are playing the tape from Bubba over and over since the guy disguised his voice, attempting to find out who started this mess and made the call. I presume, given that it's wrestling, that they all make up and try and do a television angle out of this.

So yeah, it's basically a power-grab by Kurt Angle and mutiny by the TNA locker room. This is big news, although I'm not so sure how I feel about any one wrestler having that much control. Jarrett was bad, but would Kurt Angle be any better? Simon says I doubt it.

But hey, if that's what the wrestlers want, it's what they want. Quite frankly, in a world where wrestlers aren't unionized and bookers, especially Vince McMahon, can nearly get away with murder, well, it's kinda refreshing. Still, it'd be better if the guys leading the charges weren't whackjobs (Ventura) and former (and current?) junkies (Angle).

Again, this is a hot story, and in the interest of getting stuff out, even the reputable news sources can tend to get worked, but I'll keep my eyes peeled. Hopefully, this doesn't turn out to be one giant work because again, the worked shoot is so 1997.
