TNA stops WWE Press Confrences.

New School Fire

As reported earlier, World Wrestling Entertainment has chosen to discontinue the pay-per-view press conferences effective immediately. One source said that the reason for this was that too many people would come to the events to chant "TNA", not to mention "VKM", during the conferences. This problem was especially evident at the New Year's Revolution press conference last week as there were several loud, audible "TNA" chants during the event. To make matters worse, Jonathan Coachman acknowledged the chants by saying, "that like Kansas City, TNA is inferior." All of this was audible on the live webcast on WWE.com, but it was edited out of the subsequent post of the video.

Anyways, the chants at the New Year's Revolution press conference irritated Vince McMahon so much that he decided to cancel all future pay-per-view press conferences effective immediately.

Also, WWE has really been clamping down on fans' signs in recent weeks. For instance, at the 12/26 house show in Hershey, PA, they were confiscating several signs at the door. The current policy calls for anything lewd, anything TNA related, anti-babyface signs, not to mention anything plugging a website, to be confiscated by sercurity. Furthermore, the term "VKM" has been added to the banned list of signs that fans aren't allowed to bring to WWE events. There have been several reports in recent weeks of security confiscating signs that show the initials of everyone's favorite WWE Chairman, Vincent Kennedy McMahon.

Kinda pathetic if you ask me, it is pathetic for both parties. I think it is idiotic to go to a WWE event and chant TNA. Its very disapointing that the TNA fans are the only downside to the company, and for WWE it is pathetic because they have said over and over that TNA is not competition, and yet they stop one of their events forever due to them?

I doubt it was because of TNA but who knows, I think if the fans chanted tna, just throw them out. So I doubt it was because of tna. I dont really care about pres conferences anyway

ya really...TNA chanters should just get a kick in the butt and don't let the door hit them on the way out....if you don't like WWE...don't attend the event

I doubt lots of them go planning to chant TNA it's more they expect a good show but get treated with stuff like Trump Vs Rosie, if I went to let's say for sake of name Guns and Roses and Axl didn't see or it just sucked or they did something really stupid I'd want to chant Velvet Revolver, I didn't pay to chant VR but since I felt ripped may as well plug in the other product.

But why would they feel ripped at a Press Con.? What would you expect at one of those, two divas to start ripping eachothers clothes off? I dont think it was a spur of the moment...
