    Part 1
    Part 2
    I could show up in the WWF the next week and toss the WCW cruiserweight belt into the garbage if I wanted to. I was legally clear to do so and there was nothing stopping me.
    I noticed how much presence Vince had in comparison to Eric. It was like comparing a king to a court jester.

    I wonder do secret meetings like this one take place nowadays between WWE talent and TNA? Or the other way around. Anyways, good article.

    Isn't this ancient news, as in from his book which was released a good few years ago?

    It's ripped directly from the book. Plagiarism comes in different forms I see. The chapter is about 6 or 7 pages, the 'blog' just took separate parts and stuck them together.

    Edit: That blog was only set up today, and it looks like everything on it was just taken straight from the books and passed off as articles. Dodgy stuff altogether.

    The only way that would have any impact at all would be if someone jumped from WWE to TNA with a belt and dumped it. If it was vice versa I doubt anyone would really give a toss.

    I have no idea who is IC champ at the moment, but it would be pretty cool if he showed up at BFG on Sunday and dumped the belt.

    ^^ that would probbaly cripple tna, vince sued WCW when they did that with the womens title for trademark infringement, tna cant afford a lawsuit of wwe's magnitude!

    Ah I know that. I am saying from the point of view of it making an actual impact.

    the other problem being that the IC title means sweet F*ck all nowadays so i doubt it would make an impact!

    The fact that a WWE belt, certainly with the history of the IC title, I think it would cause ructions tbh.

    Sure who cared who was womens champ in 1996 or whenever Alundra Blaze did the dirty?

    They do have links to buy the book at the end of the post though.

    That would be class, yeah. He could go on about how he was ignored even though he was champion. Shame they have the 90 day non-compete thing though. If someone had the balls to be prepared to be sued, that would be a cool moment.

    Ba-dum tish!

    I think it was Wrestling with Shadows where Bret had a secret meeting with Bischoff and Vince knew straight away about it; he had a mole in WCW. My memory's hazy (like the moors of Scotland) but Vince had source(s) in WCW.

    I dunno if he cares enough about TNA to have moles in their company. But he probably does.
