The Chris Parks thing is really a chore to watch anymore.

Hulk is useless in TNA. For the money they pay him, he should be on every week. But every time he's on TV, he means less. If Hulk went back to WWE tomorrow, he could come out and some of the older people in the audience would be excited and then he'd disappear for a year. Like Flair. He'd be a legend instead of some old bag of bones who is on TV every week.

He's helping the young talent brother.

The last time Hogan was in the WWE, he was getting huge pops...even during his Mr. America storyline and those lesser storylines.

In the WWE bubble, Hogan will always be a big star. They just know how to market him.

He's useless in TNA though...he's just not a draw. But, no one in TNA really is.

Dixie Carter is delusional.

Dixie Carter is delusional.

Not delusional...just kind of a mark. She lacks a bit of self-awareness, too.

Jay Bradley should be facing jobbers and building up his rep. He's got a good look...good finisher...got a good vibe to him.

Not a star in the making, but perfectly capable mid-carder.

Nice win over York, now feed him jobbers and show off the Boomstick.

I got a feeling...by the end of 2014, Kevin Steen will be in WWE developmental. Just too many guys that are his buddy are in the WWE and even though he's got a terrible look, they'll be like "give him a try", cover up the physique and look with something unique like they are doing with Bray Wyatt...he may never make it out of developmental, but I think he's got a chance to get the call. Those top Indie guys are always trying to bring the rest in with them.

I know I've asked this before, but why does TNA never get those guys? Is it that they're incompetent or that the wrestlers don't want to go there or both? Punk hated them, and it would have been a step down for Danielson. But Generico was the talk of the Indies. As was Steen. Do they even make plays for these guys at all?

There are lots of guys who won't go. They hold out for WWE.

In some cases, they can make more money booking themselves than being a bottom guy in TNA anyway.

Whatever happened to Samoa Joe?

Whatever happened to Samoa Joe?

He was kidnapped by ninjas and thrown into a van, if I recall.

 

[FedEx227]

Is he still running around with that no-talent gook?

 

[JimLeavy59]

He went to lose some weight.

Meltzer says Samuray Del Sol, Mike Bennett, Sami Callihan, & Shaun Ricker and completing medicals & paperwork and headed to WWE.

That's five confirmed signings in two days. If I were in developmental and not being used, i'd be sweating a little bit.

Derrick Bateman, Sakamoto, Briley Pierce, Ashley Miller cut today.

Pierce is Ziggler's littler brother. Bateman surprises me to some degree, as does Pierce. Sakamoto i'm shocked lasted this long. I know nothing about the broad.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Ashley Miller works as 'Audrey Marie'.

They could be making this person up for all I know. Anyway....

She gone!

They don't pay guys enough, and guys just don't want to go there anyway.

TNA should have a loaded bottom half of their roster, but they don't pay the Indie guys enough money to jump ship and there isn't exactly a ton of opportunity there.

She was their hot diva before she was injured. She's a bit of a thicker chick. She since has gotten passed up.

Wouldn't shock me if TNA gave her a look.

/ashamed I know that.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

When you look at WWE's track record, they sign more people off the high indie level than they do from TNA.

Perhaps that's by design. An unsaid message of "go there if you want, but you aren't coming here". I mean, who aside from Monty Brown & Consequences Creed have they ever signed from TNA (not counting big stars like Christian or Booker T who came back)?

But i've also heard plenty of stories of guys who just have no interest in TNA for the idea that they can make more on their own if they are a big indie name, and the fact that TNA is sort of a dead end in many ways.
