Vince Asked About Interest in Buying TNA, Comments on Blood & Extreme Rules
By Marc Middleton
Apr 30, 2011 - 4:10:25 AM - When asked by a shareholder at Friday's meeting about Extreme Rules, Vince McMahon said that you don't need blood to be extreme, adding that people won't tune in to the pay-per-view to see someone bleed.
- Vince was also asked by a shareholder if he had interest in buying TNA Wrestling. The shareholder asked, "When are you going to buy that three letter company that's based in Nashville, TN, because they have the wrong people in charge of that company."
Vince responded with a "right" and the shareholder continued on about how Vince needs to save the wrestling business from Dixie Carter and added that Stephanie McMahon has more brains than Dixie Carter, in his opinion. Vince responded, "I would hope." There was laughter from Vince, Stephanie and Triple H after the shareholder's comments.
The shareholder continued about how he thought Vince could fix TNA. Vince just responded with, "I don't know that they are for sale." After the shareholder suggested Vince make an offer and after more laughter from everyone, Vince smiled and said, "Well, maybe."

Paul Burchill Discusses Incest Angle With Katie Lea, Interest In Joining TNA
Former WWE star Paul Burchill appeared on Final Bell Radio (audio available at www.finalbellradio.com). Highlights are as follows:
Burchill on his WWE debut almost being a disaster: "I went out there and there's a freakin' rope hanging from the ceiling. So I swung down, went to the ring, climbed up to the top rope and stood on the top rope. As I stepped off I landed on the knee and it felt like it imploded. It was right in front of Vince and the first thing he said was 'are you ok?' I said I think I blew my knee out. He said you might want to get that checked. All that day I got injections, it was just about getting through the match…I was told 'You can go get your knee fixed but I can't guarantee there's going to be a spot for you when you come back.' Yea, they look after their talent.
Burchill on why the Katie Lea incest angle was scrapped: "They debuted us with huge plans for us, but they went PG two weeks later...and then you're just there, especially on Raw, with no real direction."
On if he'd like to work for TNA: "I'd definitely be interested because that's schedule is perfect. I enjoy a lot of stuff I see on TNA. I like TNA, I like the product, I like the people there and I have a lot of friends there. Where they get it right is they put people on the show and let them be themselves. It comes across a lot more real."
