The New (Spam Free) Never Ending Wrestling Thread

. I guess maybe just to see the total destruction of TNA right before my eyes.

Is it me or does anyone else really fucking hate ODB? Her mic skills suck, her shtick sucks, and she is fucking ugly. Why they kept her is beyond me. There is a reason why WWE did not pick her up after going through Ohio Valley Wrestling, SHE SUCKED! There is a reason she was not chose for Tough Enough, SHE SUCKED! Bottom line she SUCKS!

[Monty610]

I grew up in Mid Atlantic territory. I have no nostalgia for Hogan.

Me too. I always hated Hogan. By the time Hulkamania got going I was already into the heels, and I far preferred Mid-Atlantic to WWF...

[Angry Jew]

Ok, call me a mark but if TNA can produce Heyman (and put him on creative),RVD (and let him be closer to the "Whole FUCKING SHOW,RVD 4:20,and Mr.Kennedy (Anderson) then I will be really interested in the 1/4 iMPACT!

In a most interesting article posted by The Sports Courier, it is speculated TNA Wrestling will blast out during its first unopposed hour this Monday January 4th during the 1st Monday Night Wrestling Wars in 9 years. Vince McMahon's WWE will be challenged by a new version of TNA, lead by former WCW President Eric Bischoff, WWE Wrestlemania and All Time Legend Hulk Hogan, TNA President Dixie Carter, and surprises they will unveil on Monday Night.

According to the article, which was written by Fred Richani there is a 95% that former WWE superstar Ken "Mr. Kennedy" Anderson will make his TNA debut this Monday night. Before you discredit this source, think about it. Anderson has been relatively quiet. He took some Nu-Wrestling Evolution and Hulkamania Tour international bookings, but has not popped up much, if at all stateside in a wrestling capacity. Anderson even said on his Twitter that he wasn't a free agent. This was in response to a fan mentioning he was “the hottest free agent in wrestling.”

Now here comes the big surprise.

From the article:

Here's the real bombshell. We are told there is a 75% chance, if not better, that former ECW owner, WWE manager/commentator, and creative genius Paul Heyman will debut for TNA on Monday night. In fact, it is believed that he may be the first person you see on your television screen, assuming the now non-WWE contracted Shane McMahon doesn't decide to take a stroll (now that would freeze hell over) to Orlando, Florida.

On a side note, if Heyman does debut for TNA on Monday night, it further pieces everything together. RVD and Anderson did the Hulkamania Tour. RVD is tight with Hogan. Heyman is loyal to Anderson and RVD. Heyman can provide the creativity and sense that has been lacking in TNA's booking for quite some time.

And here's some food for thought. Tommy Dreamer left WWE's ECW brand. He is actually not contracted by WWE anymore. In fact, he can't appear on television for a major promotion until a designated 90-day period ends. I ask you readers this.

Who said Dreamer would go to TNA as a wrestler?

If Heyman shocks the world Monday night, expect Dreamer to be backstage and involved in some creative/road agent capacity in the very near future (aka a non-televised/non-active wrestling role).

Lastly, we were told that none of us should be surprised if Booker T returns to Raw this Monday night for WWE, as a way of Vince McMahon letting TNA know “I won't acknowledge you, but I know you're there.”

Hulk Hogan seems to be doing what he's said since joining TNA: I'm shaking things up.

Eh, might not want to take it too seriously. I don't know how reliable this "Sports courier" is. Although they were right about Scott Hall.

[silent_eyes]

If TNA can produce Heyman, then they have my full attention. They might not be able to knock the WWE out, but they'll for sure put a bruise on 'em if this turns out to be even half as good as I hope it is.

There's just SO MANY rumors going around it's hard to believe who will actually be there and what will actually happen.

At least we know that A.) Hogan WILL be there and B.) At this point they could pull out anything because after all, they kept the signing of Kurt Angle a secret and NOBODY knew it.

TNA is a sly little devil of a company and THAT is why this is gonna be good.

[Angry Jew]

Hogan,Eric Bischoff,Paul Heyman and Vince Russo could knock the wrestling world on its ass if they can work together. Hell, even if Hogan boots Russo,and it is only the first three names ,that has the potential to be amazing. Even the most die-hard TNA fan is realistic about Monday but we can all agree that for wrestling to improve,TNA has to eventually go live on Mondays. I think that there are some places all over the world where TNA is beating WWE in the ratings. Now, obviously TNA as of now can't compete with a billion dollar company like the E. At least they are giving it a shot though. Let's not forget that had Jamie Kellner not canceled WCW programming,they may still have been going to this day as they were getting ,what 2.5-3's? when they went off the air.

[Leppardmania]

I highly expect that Kennedy, RVD, Flair, and Dreamer will end up in TNA in the very near future.....with a couple of them showing of this Monday (Kennedy and RVD more than likely).

Hogan is obviously showing up Monday. Hall is supposed to show up. Angelina Love is supposed to return (BTW, the TNA women's division blows WWE's out of the water) on Monday as well.

Now if Heyman shows up and becomes part of the company......all I can say is..........WOW!!! That would be absolutely awesome!!! Man, I hope that rumor is true. Could you imagine Hogan and Heyman working backstage together to help with storylines? That would be HUUUGGGGEEE!!

[Lardbucket]

Maybe I'm giving him too much credit, but if Heyman is there I take TNA very seriously. They'd still have the problem of Vince's ability to sign guys away, but Heyman has always been so good at working with guys to accentuate their strong points and hide their weaknesses, I think most guys would stay to work with him instead of a batch of soap opera and sitcom writers. Unless the money was too much more to ignore, of course.

Anyone could have called the Hall signing, though, so that's not instant credibility for that website.

[znuff_fan]

Damn, now my hopes are up....fuckin TNA with Heyman would kick all sorts of ass. I just can't see Hogan/Heyman/Bischoff/Russo working together? Probably too many egos there, although they may realize if they can put aside their egos, they can take Vince if they work together at it.

I wish I wouldn't have read this about Heyman though, because now it will probably ruin the night for me if he isn't there.

[TheInfiniteStaircase]

thats awesome!!!.. I haven't watched wrestling in years but bringing Bret Hart back will definitely get me to tune in.

[Angry Jew]

You should watch TNA and Hulk Hogan.They need the support more than WWE and Vince McMahon.

[Angry Jew]

Bubba The Love Sponge announced via his official Twitter account that he will be the "new backstage guy" for TNA iMPACT. "Watch spike tv (Monday) 8pm est 4 hulks return 2 wrestling. I'm the
new backstage guy. think I'm on a total of 4x. Please tell everybody u
know."

Dude, normally - I would support Hogan and the "old timers" in a heartbeat. But I've been waiting for Bret to return to the WWF since the day he left. Vince is getting my ratings this time

[silent_eyes]

I'm hoping and praying that my cousin records both of the shows tomorrow night. I gotta freakin' work till 10 so I'm gonna miss just about everything.

[doghead2009]

for me this isn't about Hogan vs. Vince or TNA vs. WWE.. this is about Bret "the Hitman " Hart. I'm far more interested in seeing Bret in his last run with the WWE. the dude deserves a better ending to his career and legacy. His last moments in wrestling were the montreal screwjob and his shitty WCW run where Goldberg kicked him in the head ending his career. I would love to see Bret wrestle one last match ( if his health allows) at Wrestlemania and come out on top. Hart vs. McMahon would be cool but Hart vs. Michaels would be even better.. I doubt Bret can still wrestle due to his stroke though... either way the Hart Dynasty will be elevated with Bret back.. Maybe a Hart Dynasty vs. DX feud.

as for TNA, it feels like the ressurection of WCW with Hogan, Bischoff, Russo, Sting, and Hall/Nash. Can Bischoff and Hogan be creative enough to keep TNA fresh and innovative or will they rehash the same stale nwo type storylines/ideas from the dying days of wcw???..as a fan i really don't want to see all that shit again.. While Hogan/Bischoff and TNA is intriguing, I'm far more interested in watching Bret's WWE homecoming.

I thought TNA is running the show again at 11? If not I am almost certain it is replaying during the normal time slot on Thursday.

[ozzyrulz777]

Excited for tonight.

[Sinderella]

I have to record both shows tonight. So pissed I have to work 12 hours and miss BOTH damn shows!!! 6am cannot come soon enough!

I may be reading this wrong. Is Bubba saying that he is on the show a total of 4 times? I was thinking TNA was live tonight, am I wrong? Has this show already been taped?

[Monty610]

Can't wait for tonight. I'm DVR'ing both shows, but I'm watching WWE live and I'm going to have the PIP going to see what TNA and WWE are programming head-to-head.

I fucking hate Hogan and the sheer fact that he's now in TNA makes me less inclined to give a shit. So I don't wanna hear how they need my support. Fuck Hogan. The only reason I'll still watch is because there are other guys on there I like...

[Sinderella]

So I made the mistake of reading some of the Wrasslin web sites. They have several spoilers out there for tonight, if they are ALL true, this could end up being one hell of a night of Wrestling!!!
Have I mentioned how pissed I am that I have to work!

[TheInfiniteStaircase]

Shit! You're tempting me now to go read some spoilers, but I can't do it! I haven't been this excited about watching wrestling again in god knows how long. I WILL NOT ruin it!

[Sinderella]

[Drunken_Little_Elf]

Gotta love that only 5 minutes into the new Hogan/Bischoff/Russo regime and the crowd is already chanting "This is bullshit!"

[doghead2009]

wow that first match sucked.. crowd chanting " this is bullshit." this is has a shitty wcw vibe already. Once Raw starts I'm turning this TNA shit off.

[Sinderella]
