[Outsiders]

College basketball legend Bobby Knight has agreed to an ESPN offer to become a studio analysist starting 3/12. So much for TNA courting him, no pun intended. Bobby Knight rejects offer to join TNA - http://www.tnawrestling.com/content/view/585/84/

 

Dave Meltzer is reporting that the tentative plan is run the 3/29 iMPACT! taping Saturday afternoon at 3PM to avoid going head to head with WWE's hall of fame ceremony.

 

Speaking of WWE's hall of fame ceremony, the event is already a sell out.

 

Ring of Honor’s next pay-per-view will be called “Rising Above” and will debut on Friday, March 7th. The show is headlined by ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness vs. Austin Aries. The promotion has uploaded a ten minute free preview on ROHVideos.com.

*Damn you, ESPN! We all know Bobby Knight was so close to signing with TNA and coaching Curry Man and Shark Boy Austin all the way to nothing.

 

ESPN, a plague upon your college basketball coverage... a plague I say! (Oh wait, they already have Dick Vitale rambling like a jackass with his "diaper dandy doody in a dribble" nonsense so the plague is already there).

 

*Oh, and over/under: 100 purchases of the ROH pay-per-view in America. After the news about the last event, maybe they should set the bar at 50. Shame too, I would be one of those who would buy it if DirecTV would actually run it.
