It doesnt matter about the ROH thing. They were stars in a company not too far in size behind TNA, so TNA didn't build them from the ground up, more like 20 feet above the ground up.
By that logic nobody TNA could ever sign would be home grown talent unless they sign guys who haven't had a match yet
-
AJ Daniels AMW may have been in WCW but they didn't have any sort of name or notoriety because of it. Joe and Aries were ROH stars when they were an Indy DVD promotion so they all still count.

But TNA did have homegrown talent AJ styles Christopher Daniels Montey Brown Abyss America's Most Wanted even to an extent guys like Joe and Aries who should have been utilized better. Sure AJ was a multiple time champion and grand slam champion but he was also booked terribly for long stretches of time during his run. There is nothing wrong with bringing in a guy like Angle or the Dudley's they were still crazy over and talented guys who should have been pushed. But Booker T Hall Nash RVD Pope Tomko Matt Hardy Jeff the second time Flair Foley Golddust never shouldn't even been signed. I'll fully admit some guys have been signed from WWE and worked out well but they've wasted so much real talent by focusing on former WWE guys. Also the reason nobody says anything about Jay Lethal in ROH is because he was in ROH before TNA.

They just said he is talking and moving. Going to the hospital for further evaluation.
That's a relief I didn't see him move at all after that bump after what happened with perro aguayo it was pretty scary.
-
Damn such a bad break for Enzo and Cass hopefully Enzo is ok.
-
That's odd since there wasn't any mention of that match at the taping maybe something occurs during the show and it changes.
-
random question for those of us who just got our first true taste of strong style:
Is Nakamara on tonight's NXT? or was this set taped before Dallas?
Hoping he's on the show, and not just a highlight rundown of the event.
I just saw a report that Nakamura faces Elias Sampson for the show taped for tonight

Kingster I think you're over thinking this the fact that he is an amateur means nothing he has a name. Punk is a character whether you like or him or not that people are going to pay to see. His actual fighting ability doesn't matter for this fight it's the fact that he is a name that will draw buys which honestly the UFC needs. They've gotten so big but have maybe 3 fighters that are true stars a casual person will have heard of who fight maybe twice a year. Punk won't change that but he will definitely get more eyes on the sport and for those eyes to hopefully latch on to another fighter.

Also its hard to build a star when they get injured look at Wade Barrett he almost always gets injured when he starts getting momentum behind a push. No Barrett is not that old but injuries have killed his big opportunities to rebuild his career. I'm not saying that guys like Aries Joe or Nakamura can't be built up into the stars they should be but that being older is a big issue in the WWE and has other affects that are going to probably make them gun shy of them so to speak</p>

Are fight nights still on free TV? If so no way, Punk is going to have his first fight on pay per view at least in the semi main.

Lana wasn't a wrestler when she debuted, she was a manager. And she also knew how to cut a promo.
And there wasn't the push back on Sable because most of those fans hadn't seen anything better at that point. How would they know that there was actual very good women's wrestling? I mean she refused to take most bumps. In a world where Bayley and Sasha Banks main evented pay per views this would not fly.
Apparently you either don't remember or are to young but Sable was a manager first for her husband Marc Mero and while she didn't cut promos like Lana OT wasn't Lana's promos that got her so over with the crowd it was how hot she is.
-
Sable most definitely would get over today especially considering that Lana got over doing nothing but look hot managing Rusev.
-
Reigns had a great match with Lesnar last year also a great match with the big show at extreme rules nevermind the fastlane match with Daniel Bryan. Also Reigns did not win the rumble this year hence why Triple H is defending against Roman.
-
Apparently TMZ is reporting that Sting is officially retiring from active wrestling, and he's expected to make a formal announcement at the HOF. Really sucks to see sting go out like that but after the match with Rollins it's not surprising.
-
My money is on Hulk Hogan coming back to get his heat back for judgment day in 02.
-
They don't and if anything the way Fox has redone the X-men universe with days of future it makes sense that this colossus is different. Much like deadpool colossus is also much more faithful to his comic book version than anything else put on screen in the past.
-
Deadpool is one of the best comic book movies ever made. Go see this movie. Also I thought Kung Fu Panda 3 was fun and a nice little cap on the series.
-
Vince is paying AJ a half million a year if reports are true which is also the reason Vince is personally handling AJ.
-
I don't doubt the first part of what you said, but I feel like not letting Bryan wrestle elsewhere has more to do with the WWE "protecting their asset." Basically if he can't work for them, he can't work for anyone else. Which is as childish as it is impractical.
Of course this is all speculation.
if by protecting their asset you mean trying to keep him out of a wheel chair or god forbid another Benoit. If the the word about the tests he took is indeed true and he does try wrestling after his contract is up I will lose all respect for him, though it would be hard to imagine another company taking the risk on him.
-
While I'm sad to see Bryan's career come to an end I'm happy that he won't continue to do damage to his body by continuing on.
-
Whoever thinks that Bryan vs Lesnar is a good idea should probably think long and hard about how much they really care about Daniel Bryan. I love the guy but unless he changes how he wrestles he's just going to get hurt again, and a match with Brock at potentially WM he would go all out like usual and almost certainly get seriously hurt. I don't want to see that god bless Daniel Bryan for wanting to put on amazing matches for us but I don't want to see him crippled because of it.

Crownsy you said it yourself Warhawk has blind hatred for regins and nothing he ever does will be acceptable. He could pull a 5 star match out of Kali and Giant Gonzales and warhawk will either say it was still crap.
