1800Mitch Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Bye TNA. You had great promise but dropped the ball too many times. Your own fault. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Few stars returning to WWE potentially? Bubba Ray being the obvious one. Last big stint in the WWE considering his age, but he's one of the best talents around just now. And if worst comes to the worst, just bring D-Von in as well and it's a guaranteed boost to the tag team division. Can't see any downsides. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 People are aware that TNA isn't dead yes? They could get a new TV deal. They will be around until at least early next year anyway. As for TNA guys going to WWE, there is almost no chance of that happening. If WWE were interested in any TNA guys they would have signed them already. Also WWE just cut loads of wrestlers and are rumoured to be cutting more. They've also just hired a few guys for NXT. Do folk not understand business? Actually since this is a football forum, a lot probably don't. You just have to look at all the posts saying "We should sign this guy" etc. Oh and once again TNA isn't dead. It's still going and has events booked until early next year. The current TV deal expires in October so still a lot of time to get a new one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 It'll all depend on the type of deal they get though won't it? It would have to be on similar terms in order to keep them afloat. As mentioned earlier in this thread or another wwe didn't get close to the deal expected when renewing with the USA network. Regardless of having events booked in to next year if they lose tv and the revenue it generates those events likely won't happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also WWE just cut loads of wrestlers and are rumoured to be cutting more. They've also just hired a few guys for NXT. Indeed. WWE have actually actively said they're not interested in signing folk from TNA. And why would they? There's not that many from there who would actively improve the roster. There's a couple you could make an argument for I think, but most of them have guys who aren't needed as WWE have better guys of the same type. Oh and once again TNA isn't dead. It's still going and has events booked until early next year. The current TV deal expires in October so still a lot of time to get a new one. It isn't a guarantee that TNA will get a deal though. If WWE have trouble negotiating, TNA sure as f**k will. TNA are, essentially, the diddy leagues compared to WWE. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 The biggest stars TNA have would mid carders at best in WWE. Utterly pointless mentioning any of them going there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Gaines Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I think Jeff Hardy could easily slot into the main events after a wee bit. If WWE were willing to hire Kurt Angle, he'd be a main eventer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latino Lover Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Some of the knockouts would be decent additions, although ultimately not used much. Basically I just want to always be able to watch velvet sky in some capacity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 As I said, Bubba Ray could easily slot in at WWE and I'm willing to bet he'll have another stint there before he retires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forehead7 Posted July 31, 2014 Author Share Posted July 31, 2014 The main thing Spike didn't like was Russo still being a part without their knowledge when presumably they didn't want him involved. Russo has apparently fired. I'd heard it was one of Spike's highest rated shows, so it coming back would make sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 TNA are promoting that Lashley will be fighting in Strikeforce next month. So that's why he's champion basically. Fucking clowns never learn. They also have Mo Lawal yet again hanging around. They truly are miserable fucking morons. Exceptionally stupid really. How many times have they tried to boost ratings with crappy 2nd rate MMA guys?! It's never worked and it never will. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 Oh and Joe is the new X Division champ. Maybe it'll motivate him to lose some weight and start being a killer again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGreenMonster Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 One half of TNA's tag champs Davey Richards suffered a broken leg at a house show last night, only slight positive for TNA here is they have already filmed the next months TV so have time to prepare for what they want to do after they know how long he will be out, maybe he'll be fit enough when they do their next TV tapings in Pennsylvania in 4 weeks time that they can film some sort of backstage angle to explain his absence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northsea80 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Impact is moving to Wednesday nights. Good move for TNA? Also no mention if it's part of a new/revised tv deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Impact is moving to Wednesday nights. Good move for TNA? Also no mention if it's part of a new/revised tv deal. Aside from a Monday and Sunday night, TNA could run any night of the week and it wouldn't make any difference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 (edited) WCW used to have big/unique matches on free TV instead of on PPV. It was cited as one of their failings and why buy rates dropped. TNA of course are following this. They gave away The Wolves/Hardys for free and are giving away Team 3D/Hardys for free. Morons. People say that TNA are WWE lite but it seems they copy late era WCW more, at least in terms of running their business.

DA Baracus Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 They're REALLY pushing this Dixie Carter crap. Yet another WCW favourite; pushing a non wrestler over actual wrestlers. In fact in this case TNA get bonus WCW points for massaging the ego of an owner/someone in charge. Dixie Carter should never have been an on screen character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 f**k off TNA. They've just pulled off of one the most blatant rip offs ever by turning James Storm in a Bray Wyatt type. Just look it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenMonster Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Bully Ray apparently had a meeting with the rest of the roster at a house show over the weekend and told them goodbye as his contract is ending and he doesn't expect to work any more shows for the company 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
