tristram Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I don't see it happening, if James Storm was going in singles right now yeah I could see Americas Most Wanted for sure, but TNA seem fairly high right now on Beer Money with Robert Roode. FTR, I don't know why, but I like Robert Roode but can't stand Beer Money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabataged Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I dont see why he would of burned bridges in TNA for just going to WWE. Seriously its every kids dream growing up a wrestling fed, to compete in WWE. Then once you get there you realize it isnt all its cracked up to be. Half TNA roster if not more has tried it out and apparently not liked it or wahtever. I hope TNA brings him back and re-unites AMW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ransik Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 You can just picture James Storm standing there saying; "Sorry bout your damn luck!" I liked Harris a few years ago... but he really started rubbing me the wrong way more and more and more. When I read he left TNA to go to WWE I figured he'd last 6 months at the most. Ah well... Storm is getting pushed and is entertaining as hell... so TNA wins on that exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alden Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 When i first seen him on screen I was a little shocked. He was never in great shape but wow, he put on a huge amount of weight and looked very slow in the ring. I always thought he was the star of amw but looking at storm alone and harris alone I thought wrong now. I do expect to see harris back in tna even if it is just to feud with storm for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how much of it was Harris' fault, and how much was WWE creative's, but the Braden Walker character was nothing. The match with James Curtis was dire. Don't saddle Storm with this guy again. Chris Harris was given an opportunity, and he failed to take advantage of it. Fat, black singlet, overuse of the clothesline, no unique move or ability... It's a wonder they let him on TV in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Aussie Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It was entirely Harris' damn fault for getting fired becasue he didn't keep in shape while waiting to get called up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Agreed. The way he looked and performed is not the way to make a good impression - although if they hadn't let go of Trevor Murdoch too, a fat cowboy team could have had potential (to be awful, but...)

AfRoMaN36 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 They didn't even let Harris finish that first cup of coffee. It's probably still hot. Either way he wasn't anything to miss anyway. I'd take Colt Cabana, and Danielson over him any day. Though when I first read this thread, I thought D-Lo got fired. I was already lighting up my pitchfork.

Still WWE called him up to the big leagues knowing that he wasn't in shape so I guess both parties are at fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take BG James over Chris Harris. I would take Black Reign over Chris Harris. I would take [I]Ricky Ortiz [/I]over Chris Harris. I don't care too much that he was out of shape. I don't care too much that he doesn't seem to know how to work. What pisses me off is that he was given an opportunity, and didn't do a damn thing to make himself stand out from the pack. Put on some fancy tights. Do something different with your hair. Put on a f'n cowboy hat. DO SOME KIND OF MOVE, something WWE fans haven't seen for a while. DANCE! I don't care. Something. Anything to make fans notice you. Chris, you blew it. I'm not entirely sure why this gets me so angry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I am also unhappy with this. Due to his lack of matches and time constraints on my behalf I never even got to see him wrestle in ECW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infinitywpi Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 [QUOTE=Self;476179]I'm not entirely sure why this gets me so angry...[/QUOTE] Because each and every one of us is thinking "Hell, I could have put on a better performance than that guy! If they're letting any out-of-shape, unspectacular wroker get in the ring, hell, let me go take a few bumps. At least I'd try to stand out in the crowd." And he didn't. And we all feel like he squandered our chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
