Well he is the most likely choice but with Hogan saying he would be someone that is able to directly challenge for the title based on past accomplishments I think the percentages for RVD and Goldberg being it have gone up. On the Jarrett thing I think if his promo on Monday would have gone as scripted it would be fine and I am glad they are transitioning fast as opposed to slow as this should also mean that Hall, Waltman, OJ, Nasties will be of my screen faster. Just too bad that Russo isn't headbooker atm as he was doing pretty good still not great and too busy but better then before in the period when he finally got the reigns. July till Jan 4th. And yeah 0.7 was a four hour show knockout new year's special and was their lowest rating for a very long time so it doesn't wholly count, and Spike bumbed TNA for Star Wars on Christmas so in essence TNA only had two shows to build for the ppv due to bad timing. In lieu of that pretty good job.

Yep and no commercials or in the case of AJ vs Angle no run in or Naitch randomness (hopefully). I think the commercials really hurt the AJ vs Angle match on Impact making it too much of a highlight real by cutting out the jockying and exchanges in between. TraciBrooksfan you where there am I correct in this? As for the big acquasition I stand by my earlier percentages and hope to hell it's RVD. Red's mystery opponent I would go with Hardy or Petey.

Yep he said these Young Bucks are really impressive or something like that. He did the same with Desmond Wolfe telling people he used to be known as Nigel McGuiness. My favorite line was actually Bisschoff telling Hogan that Jarrett really needed an "attitude adjustment" lolz. Now those kind of insider references I can appreciate as for non insiders they don't matter and for those getting it they are funny.

Aye but she looked better then last time I saw her on TNA. Saw the episode and it was decent and some of the ppv match-ups look interesting just hoping they don't turn AJ heel. Generation Buck Me was exciting but don't have a great look on them. The dark haired one is alright but the blond guy looked mediocre at best and I don't mean in ring wise but Star Quality wise. Edit: No Jeff Hardy = Bad, No Jordon = Good although it doesn't balance out. Still no Leslie = very good.

Especially seeing as Joe has the feast or fired briefcase for the world championship belt. If the briefcases are still in effect that is. Can't wait to see the show but based of the comments its a mixed bag again with short matches. A well giving them time. Oh and yeah Joe lost the X Belt to Red due to distraction from Lashley but he only held it shortly after winning it of Homicide who won it using his briefcase on Suicide.

How can you say he is already lost in the shuffle? After one pinfall loss to Dinero?

Only pointless if the Young Bucks didn't agree on TNA getting full rights for that name, otherwise decent new name.

The Saugus Advertiser has an article up, reporting that a 15-year old boy that has filed a police report against WWE star Randy Orton. The boy claims that Orton assaulted him, claiming Orton spit gum at him and then called him a derogatory name. The boy asked Orton to pose with him for a photo in the parking lot of a restaurant after having already taken a photo of Orton. The police filed a hearing request on the matter, but no arrest has been made. According to the article, a clerk magistrate will determine if the incident warrants a criminal complaint. You can check out the full article here: http://www.wickedlocal.com/saugus/news/x532576957/Wrestling-star-Randy-Orton-accused-of-assault-outside-Kowloon Seems it is filed under complaint and still to be determined if it warrants anything. On Orton breaking character, I don't like it as it breaks the suspending of disbelief. It depends on the situation though.

Hmmmmm is Dixie reading these boards? Lol. If she is she is dam smart as this is the most unbiased and wrestling savy board I know of and prolly out there. Good move anyways now for them to work to that roster I had up and I am one happy camper. Not mentioning the obvious 3 hours in 2 hours adhd booking.

Also one big problem for the WWE is they list their employees as independent contractors. That just doesn't fly with a no compete in my view as do a lot of other things in the contracts and how they treat talent. So depending on the court and judge they (TNA or the employee) might find a way around it. Just had a thought hasn't Edge's contract been officially expired and they have an not on paper agreement to let it run on till his injury is over? That would mean that he is without a real contract and hasn't competed for the E in over 90 days. I know this is absolute dreamland like with Rock and Lesnar but still that would be total mark out and a real blow to the E. btw cool stuff with that Cardinals vid.

Yeah same here he has potential but has come over kinda bland for me. If they would play up his happy about being sadistic and violent part of him that would interest me and also give his finishers a name! Not that they are in anyway unique but still.

Yeah but recently the E has waved the no compete for the smaller competitors. ATM its just no ROH or TNA.

Like his promo skills and think/hope has more to offer then he showed on WWE plus (,unfortunately,) overness matters. Plus I am looking at it from a free agent perspective and comparative overness/talent/star quality etc. Of the possible signings with name value I am only high on RVD but can see what Anderson could bring to the table. Personally I would much rather see Petey, Dutt, Aries return or other Indie talent. Also on that roster you can remove 3D and place in the Hooliganz (Kendrick and London) over time. Edit: don't forget those percentages where the ods I guess of them appearing not how much I want them to appear.

Just my idea what the TNA roster should be used as and look as in the hopefully near future let me know what you guys think. It is basically using the Heyman 6 per spot rule with twice as many women and tag teams counting as one for competitive divisions. Also note that most tag teams can work as singles especially in the X-Division. Main Event: Angle Styles Joe Daniels Hardy RVD Upper Midcard: Morgan Hernandez Abyss Wolfe Lashley Anderson Midcard: Young Homicide Dinero Suicide Rhino Red Undercard / Sympathy Jobbers: Moore Shark Boy Tag Teams: 3D MCMG Beer Money British Invasion Generation Me Lethal Consequences Women: Kong Tara Hamada ODB Wilde Sarita Flash Daffney Roxxi Love Sky Rayne Occasional/Personalities: Foley Jarrett Raven Steiner Nash Flair Hogan Without RVD and Anderson move up Lashley or Wolfe and Dinero and include Stevie and Morley in the midcard.

Just wondering has anybody ever broken the 90 day compete clause (without permission) and if so what is the penalty or what would the penalty be? Maybe TNA has a current E wrestler set up and promised him to pay any fine for breaking contract etc. Highly unlikely yeah but just wondering.

Yeah they just showed one ad mentioning their normal time if I remember correctly, mad fumble on their part. Although anyone really interested can just look for their website. Still dumb not to mention it multiple times as it would just take a sec. On moving to Monday's its really Spike's and Viacom's decision and as it is more targeted against USA then RAW it will also matter how much UFC will cut into RAW's rating tonight if at all. Was dumb for them not to do a show and just a replay on Thursday though seeing as the PPV is so close already. (Or moved the ppv date.)

Sid is quite tall isn't he lolz. Ad him to my list of rest percenters.

Yeah lol it's late here for me as well I forgot to count RVD.

Ehm thats 110 percent lol.

So who do you think will be the surprise TNA debut/redebut on Genesis? My ods Ken Anderson: 75% Goldberg: 15% RVD: 9.999999999% Leslie, Macho Man, Rock, Austin, Lesnar, DDP: Sharing the rest.

Yep Pscych guys next week, week after that Shatner! Also no Bret tonight as he is elsewhere expected to show up next week.

Forgot to mention the awesome fact that TNA has a very large collection of their best matches hosted on Youtube as well. For those people that haven't seen them or don't know much of TNA's history.

Indeed although WWE's core website is way better then TNA's just compare the profiles etc. Seriously one of the points TNA should work on imho.

The entire Jan 4th show is now up on Youtube courtesy of TNA themselves in case anyone missed it or wants to see it again: http://www.youtube.com/user/TNAwrestling#p/u

Aye the good old "groupthink" occurrence which is true for the IWC both negative and positive. Still knowing more or thinking you know more is not a bad thing as long as one is capable to look at it from a layman's perspective once in a while. Still I love this board as any other wrestling discussion/comment place I come across has at least 1 in 3 WWE/TNA/ROH ZuCk3 becauz youz a ..... type comments.
