The Stallion Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 From [url]www.gerweck.net[/url] [url]http://www.gerweck.net/[/url] this makes no sence since I thought Lesner could not wrestler in the US. Did I miss something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stallion Posted August 15, 2007 Author Share Posted August 15, 2007 ok the post did not go through. Here is the post [QUOTE]Mike Johnson is reporting that TNA is currently in negotiations with Brock Lesnar. Kurt Angle is trying to talk him into signing a deal and Dixie Carter has already had one secret meeting with Lesnar in Nashville.

flamebrain Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Does the no compete include appearing on a rival show? It worked with Pacman after all... :rolleyes: Kurt Angle is batsh*t crazy these days and I don't think Dixie Carter knows wrestling beyond the guff that Double J and Angle hit her off with so maybe both of them [I]truly believe[/I] its possible even when it doesn't appear it is?

AfRoMaN36 Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 This makes absolutely ZERO sense. Kurt Angle has absolutely gone of his freaking rocker if they think this is possible. The second Brocks pen hits paper, they will be hearing from Vinces lawyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sebsplex Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Is it possible that this is talk between Brock and Kurt concerning MMA (which apparently Kurt also brought up with Vito recently when he was backstage at Hard Justice) and is just being twisted? Nice 'secret' meeting in Nashville too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHilton Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Hey, this might not be impossible. When Lesnar and the WWE came to their settlement out of court, reporters at the time just assumed that his no-compete extended util the date he originally signed for which was mid 2010. Now, if that were not the case, and Lesnar could negotiate with TNA, it would be a great move on their part. For about the two months it would take them to book him into absolute oblivion who generates the same amount of non-revenue as the rest of the roster. But still..a good idea. Should note that 411 and wrestlingobserver aren't reporting anything though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Stallion Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 Gerweck is a good source though, so I trust them. Its just weird to hear this. However a Joe vs. Lesner vs. Angle match would be a dream match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now maybe that was Joe carrying the match, I was not around to see Angles matches with Steiner and Cage, but I still think he can put on a really good match. On another note, would it not be awesome if Lesner was Angles "undisclosed" tag team partner for the TNA Tag Team Titles?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfwwe Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 To people that are saying that Lesnar isn't allowed to do this: I'm pretty sure if that were the case, they wouldn't even be trying, cuz TNA knows that if they did that and it wasn't allowed, WWE would sink them with a lawsuit. I'm pretty sure TNA probably looked into that before they started talkin to Brock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you're right, I'll never know until I am actually there. But to be honest, they are making alot of the silly mistakes that made people think WCW was doing it on purpose. (Hotshotting belts, killing heat with dumb angles, etc.) So its only natural that I think that they are run by chimps just like WCW was apparently...

I tend to agee that TNA wouldn't be in negotiations with Brock if they didn't think they could sign him, but this IS the same company that just threw money at Pacman Jones, hyped his debut, and set up a feud without ever bothering to find out if he would be alllowed to ..you know..actually wrestle.

Zobeto227 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I don't really like Lesnar at all... Thought of him as an ******* who never paid his dues and just became a main event powerhouse out of nowhere. However, he's a great wrestler and TNA could really go far with him if they booked him right. ya know?! However, if they bring him in and do what they've done to pretty much everyone else who has come into the company... Then Brock Lesnar will end up looking like a "bumbling Fool who is fed stupid storylines". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already said you are probably right, but it's not like its outside the realm of possibility that they dropped the ball completely on this.

flamebrain Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Lesnar comes in, everyone shuffles down a rung, Joe is pushed aside in favour of Angle fighting his buddy for the "OMG CHAMP OF DA UNIVERZZZZ!" Title(s) and, three months later, Lesnar jobs to Tomko. Not saying any of this WILL happen but I can't shake the feeling it might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
