The Katz Files – Arnie Katz
My Weekly TNA Notebook
The Kingfish Arnie Katz delves into points raised by the 11/19 iMPACT.

Sting: Bait and Switch
There is simply no excuse, on a pre-recorded show like this, for the

Even though they obviously knew that Sting wasn’t there and wasn’t going to show his face on iMPACT, Mike Tenay and Taz talked it up throughout the show. Tenay even made an extended reference to an interview conducted earlier in the day that had surprising and exciting developments!

This could have been fixed in post-production, but it wasn’t. Is this the new deal that Dixie Carter keeps promising?

WSU returned this past Saturday to present two matches for our upcoming “On The Road: Fall 2009″ DVD at NWS’s 11/14 event in Basking Ridge, NJ. WSU brought two championship matches to the table, and at the end of the night, both champions were able to retain their titles.

In the first WSU bout of the evening, WSU Spirit Champion Brittney Savage made her first title defense as champion. The match was no walk in the park, as Savage was forced to defend against her former WSU Tag Team Champion partner, the former 2-time WSU World Champion, Alicia.

After turning on Alicia on 10/3 in what was a despicable display, in an event that saw Savage attempt to “American History X” curbstomp Alicia with a steel chair, Savage has turned into a new person. Shedding her former “Brooke Carter” persona, Savage has gone under her real name and has taken up a violent mean streak. WSU management and WSU fans have realized that ever since Savage took several falls in her tag matches with Alicia, Savage has shown a bit of jealousy to her former tag partner. That jealously led to a blind rage, when Savage ditched Alicia and tried to end her comeback.
Not wanting to wait, Alicia asked for a match with Savage right away, before Savage won the WSU Spirit Championship on 10/10. WSU officials hurried to put this match together in the interest of our fans. After waiting for nearly a month, Alicia got her first crack at Savage on 11/14.

It was a reunion show, on many levels, this week. ECW came from the home of Extreme, Philadelphia. Also, a former top star in ECW returned home for a one-night stand. In addition, Paul Burchill put his and his sisters’ careers on the line against the mask of The Hurricane.

This Week’s Episode: Sometimes you Can go home again.
