So you remember how Eric Bischoff was cocking off about his book a few weeks ago, and how it was still making him thousands of dollars in royalties? So WWE decided to drop the price to $1.98? Bischoff strikes back. Via Facebook:
Just received 1,000 copies of Controversy Creates Cash from WWE! $1.98 AND THEY PAID SHIPPING! That is frigging awesome. I'm going to autograph the first 100 sell for 20.00 with preceeds going to support the Upper Banch Mine Fund that TNA raised money for. Details to follow in the next day or two. Spread the word!
You know what? Good for him, and good for TNA for doing so much to help the unfortunate victims of last week's West Virginia mining accident. They also held some house shows this weekend with proceeds going to the same cause. According to Jeff Jarrett's twitter, they had a largely successful turnout for those shows. And Kurt Angle himself even offered to match the donations made at Saturday's show in Corbin, KY.
Say what you will about TNA's product, but from all outward appearances (which, I know, can be deceiving), they seem to be a nice little close-knit family who support each other, their company, their industry, and the world around them. That's the kind of people I cheer on.

Slightly glazing over the work the WWE does with the overseas troops, Toys for Tots, and the Make a Wish Foundation, aren't we? Not to mention countless other small charities that the WWE donates money to. TNA shouldn't get trophies for donating to charity, and neither should Eric Bischoff. That's a responsibility every company that's making money has to this country.
Corey nothing that was said took away from WWE's charity work. It's just illustrating how bischoff used Vince's arrogance against him when it came to making his book 1.99 + free shipping, and turning it around to help others.
