When MVP got released, my first thought was "this guy is going to be fucking awesome in Japan".

He even twittered "Time To Go International".

But then I realised that he was an ex-con, and probably won't be allowed to enter the country. I wonder if he realises this himself.

He's always dreamed of working in Japan, so I figure if he wants to go there, he'll be able to get in through whichever promotion. Connections?

He has said in the past he's not allowed into Japan, but perhaps WWE just didn't want to hassle anyone to get him in on tours....?

Jeff Hardy at it again :smh:

From F4W:

Jeff Hardy was nearly pulled from tonight's show and they were going to do a substitute title match stripping him of the title due to concern about his condition when he showed up at tonight's event.

He did do the match and they didn't change the title.

Hardy's next likely to be postponed hearing on his drug charges is scheduled for Wednesday.

Joe's contract with TNA expired a little bit ago and he supposedly signed something recently to allow him to work shows since then (including TV).

Sounds like they're working on a new long-term deal.

Say it ain't so Joe.

From F4W:

How can anybody buy a bloated, drugged up Hardy as a champion. Why not just make Sandman champion?

Unofficial but a little birdy told me that TNA's Hamada was released before a recent taping.

:smh:

 

[FedEx227]

It's official. She's gone.

:smh:

She wasn't being used at all, which was unfortunate.

 

[JayDizzle]

If there's anymore need to compare TNA to WCW (and Pro-Wrestling in GENERAL), it's that for all the name wrestlers out there from the past and present, there's a MILLION others that will never be used in the capacity that we feel they should be.

 

[IamMedellin]

wasnt hamada a champion?

 

[SHOGUN]

wasnt hamada a champion?

Yeah. She was one half of the Knockouts Tag Team Champs with Taylor Wilde, but those belts have been irrelevant for ages and Taylor Wilde only seen on Impact once a month for some shitty irrelevant mixed tag action.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

Who cares about Hamada, srs?

 

[IamMedellin]

know who I wanna bitch-slap


this guy

I don't have the problem with women's wrestling that some do, but I don't have a problem with burying the women's tag titles. The segment of people who enjoy women's wrestling is small enough that a singles title is more than enough. TNA's roster is already too big with too many names to spend time on a title people wouldn't give two shits about if it was pushed well.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

They took on the women's tag belts at a time when the prevailing thought was they'd get another hour of TV for just the women...funny idea, and terrible at that, but that is what TNA is working with.

 

[FedEx227]

That was at a time though when TNA women were getting the highest rating night in and night out.

 

[LiquidLarry2GhostWF]

That was at a time though when TNA women were getting the highest rating night in and night out.

Yup.

Then when Hogan and Bischoff came in, they basically got rid of the women sans a select few.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

That was at a time though when Awesome Kong & Gail Kim were getting the highest rating night in and night out.

Fixed.

I love how Gail Kim was a proven ratings draw for TNA, unlike all of the indistinguishable ho's on the WWE roster, so WWE signs her and does absolutely nothing with her. I forget she's even there until I see her make her monthly appearance.

 

[SHOGUN]

Gail Kim vs. Awesome Kong. :wub:

I miss those days so much.

Ehhhh, more like Kong was the draw and Gail, who would be her antithesis, was along for the ride.

Either way...Gail goes along with the Christian Cage school of thought...would rather curtain jerk in the E than be a star of the Impact Zone.
