They need him, Hogan, Russo, Ferrara, and maybe Bischoff out of there IMO. All of those guys have done mostly f'all positive in mainstream wrestling the last ten years, they should be pushing the young guys and established (but still contributing) stars like Hardy & RVD.

I agree with that, Abyss needs to stop being a whiney **** too and go back to when he was actually watchable, I'd bring Judas Mesias back in, just give him the proper in ring attire for his gimmick (last time a "Demon" in purple & black trunks?) and push him properly, they built him up....then had him run away from Rhino, when he would have come across as more unstoppable if he destroyed him too.

Jeff Hardy was arguably the biggest guy in WWE, TNA should use that and push him massively, he's one of the (if not the) best worker they have, and that should be reflected. RVD, AJ Styles, MCMG, Anderson (as much as I don't like him), Angle, Joe (again, as much as I don't like him) should be the focus of the shows, with guys like Kaz & the other X division folk getting air time too, back in 07-08 the X division was brilliant and one of the main reasons to watch TNA.

I wasn't calling taker at all .. I'm a massive fan, but the match v Ray was complete dogshit, rusty as hell, missed virtually every sell.

TNA are in poop .. they need to cut at least 20 people due to their spending in the last 3 months .. The attempt at a Monday night war has killed them. I agree that the focus needs to be on AJ, Joe, MCMG, 3D, Anderson, Hardy, RVD etc.

They want to make cuts then cut Flair, Bishoff, British Invasion, Don West, Lacy, Slick Johnson, Brian Kendrick, Homicide, Scott Hall, and Rob Terry when Hernandez returns. There's 11 out the door without harming the roster.

TNA is still 72% owned by Panda Energy and has a good contract with Spike TV for the next 3 years who also sometimes put in money for talent.

Their live event business has picked up with attendances up 50% since last year, and merchandise at those events has also gone from an average $6 spend to $20 average, largely due to Don West now being at the events. They are also doing well internationally, especially in the UK.

I would get rid of Dr Stevie, Magnus, Raven, Rhino, Shark Boy, Jimmy Hart, Nash, Hall, Orlando Jordan that would be 9

Along with a few that went recently - Waltman, Morley, Nasty Boys, Tara and David Penzer.

Biggest mistake in the history of the company IMO.

Does that mean Brian Danielson won't get called up to Raw or Smackdown then? If not presumably it's because the vets believe he "Doesn't know how to work"!

Have to say, I've enjoyed NXT, think it's been a good move by WWE. Be interesting to see if they do anything with Wade Barrett.

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Wed Jun 02, 2010 12:23 pm  

Should have let Perfect jr use his real name and paired him with Dolph Ziggler

Re: The Wrestling Thread : Wed Jun 02, 2010 1:06 pm  

Danielson will get called up somehow I feel.

I fancy Kaval to win the next series, the guy is one of the best pound for pound wrestlers in the world.
