jesterx7769 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Bill Goldberg did an interview with TulsaWorld.com to promote appearing on The Celebrity Apprentice. In the interview, Goldberg responded to a January statement where Hulk Hogan said that he may be joining TNA by saying, "Pardon my French, but Hulk Hogan's full of crap because I was never in negotiations with TNA." About returning to wrestling he said, "Do I see myself getting back in the wrestling ring? I'm 43 years old. Do I want to be Ric Flair? Do I want to be Hulk Hogan? In the twilight of my life, do I want to be running around in my underwear trying to injure people? Absolutely not."[/Quote] that ends any arguing on that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nedew Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 'Trying to injure people'? Well, at least now we know where ol' Bill was going wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde Hill Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 that ends any arguing on that Well kinda as the sources saying Hogan thought Bill would come in or some sort could be very unreliable plus in the full interview Bill said the classic never say never. And with Bisch and Vinny Ru onboard a work is never out of the possibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommohawk Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 There's only one thing about TNA at the moment that kind of irks me, though I understand their need to do this....in any case it's the fact that Disney Carter (i laughed so hard when hogan said that) said that they don't want to repeat history they want to make history - yet we have a ton of rehashed talent and rehashed feuds from a bygone era. Don't get me wrong it's more than watchable for me but the statement from Disney C and the product on television at the moment don't exactly dovetail well right now. I have a feeling that's all about to change though. Also does anyone think we might see Paul Heyman in TNA alongside RVD ? He'd be great in a creative consultant role. Who better for the creative team than to pick Paul Heyman's mind ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tristram Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Okay. Color me confused here. What does Fred Savage's character on The Wonder Years have to do with your point about Goldberg? As in someone who struggles to break what they're initially known for. A lot of childhood stars go through it where they struggle to get meaningful work later on as they're always remembered for something they can no longer be or it makes minimal sense to be. Some try and rehash it and trot it out, but generally fail. The point is Goldberg suffers this effect. If Goldberg is involved with wrestling people automatically associate him with the streak, it would take a very good creative mind to get people's mind past that and onto something new with him.

tristram Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 So much bad armchair booking here. Goldberg wasn't able to follow up after his loss to Nash because he hurt himself on TV and WCW had to find some excuse to remove him. I don't care who you put over him having him lose and then disappear isn't exactly going to keep the crowd hot. Ugh, no. Flair, in the worst shape of his life, fifty years old, is going to beat Goldberg with a low blow? Why not just tell every mark in the audience to just leave? There's a reason Flair wasn't booked as an active wrestler during this time period in WCW, and the idea that a guy like him who would receive almost zero rub from ending the streak should've been the guy to do it is just a bad idea. Nash was the right choice: he got a big win out of it, have him go from tweener to heel turn, re-unite the NWO, all of that was fine. Right up until the point when they put the belt on Hogan AGAIN. Nobody wanted to see that either by that point. But that was the point, wasn't it? Rather than make something meaningful out of someone going over Goldberg, it was basically a charade to get the belt back on Hogan. It was an epic fail. There are so many better creative options for all concerned, as long as it is a meaningful change and results in long term options, rather than basically construct a program that ends up with Hogan getting the belt in the finger poke of doom.

thommohawk Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 No. Doubt it. He dislikes Russo, hate Eric's guts, and has shown zero interest in the business since he lef tthe WWE. Totally. Though never say never as stranger things have happened, right ? Bisch to WWE? Bret to WWE? Bret and Shawn burying the hatchet live on Raw? Main thread through all these is WWE's exposure and money neither of which TNA have right now though the point is still the same that much like with my Taker/HBK to TNA thing, although it's doubtful you can never outright rule it out. What bets on JBL turning up tonight for the live Impact ? Unless his statement about him being the hottest free agent in wrestling was a joke, I could conceivably see this happening as you can bet that at least 1 as yet unnanounced surprise debut will occur much like how Jeff Hardy debuted at the last live Impact special and nobody knew. Unfortunately with it being a huge night for TNA you can guarantee that Orlando Jordan will be stinking up the show, I don't know what it is about him but I've always hated that guy.....I hate him even more now that he's being booked as this superstar talent when Lacey Von Erich has more talent in her boobs than he has in his entire body lol.

Ah yes, the Baby Brent thing from Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs. I'm with ya. Except I don't know if the Fred Savage example fully works. He followed the path of folks like Potsie Webber and Jerry the dentist from The Bob Newhart Show. He went behind the camera. And while you and I may not know him for that as such, the people who need to know to get their shows made do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterx7769 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 TNA officially confirmed Sting will appear tonight. No official word on RVD/Hardy but of course its rumoured they will at least show up (I expect at the very least a video hype of RVD) You guys probably saw too but it appears Hall/Waltman will have a match against Nash/Young. here's hoping we are all wrong in speculating Nash turns on Young to reform the nWo, or the oWo (old world order) although I dont see Hall/Waltman leaving anytime soon now that Hall has his little youtube video and creates hype which TNA loves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazorbeak Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Jeff Hardy goes to trial next week for several drug charges next week in North Carolina, so I would be pretty shocked if TNA makes any reference to him at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommohawk Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Why would you be shocked ? It was already established he was in deep **** with the drug bust and yet TNA still had him appear on the live special that they did as well as the subsequent episode of Impact. Plus Hardy's trial isn't until NEXT week, so why wouldn't TNA use him tonight ? After next week is a totally different story obviously but as for tonight, man think about it there's no reason not to use him tonight for effect if he's available, which all signs point to him showing up tonight. Along with Sting and RVD. But I've got a funny feeling we'll be seeing at least 1 *major* shock tonight that we don't yet know about. Also what of this Samoa Joe abduction angle ? I'm assuming it gets resolved tonight or the plot otherwise seriously thickens but at this point I'm not sure where it's going or what it's amounting to.

Along with Sting and RVD. Well it'd make no sense introducing him to all the additional viewers they are expecting to get when they don't know what the outcome of his trail will be. Is he facing prison, restrictions on travel etc that might prevent them from using him for a period of time? I supposed they could use him in the capacity of fighting RVD for a contract and losing. It's be a good way to get two 'names' into a one-off, high-profile bout, and would explain why Hardy doesn't show up next week if he isn't able to. If all goes well with the trail, Hardy gets a 'second chance' in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winner stays in TNA and faces AJ at destination x for the title. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesterx7769 Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I actually really enjoy Wolfe alot. He is a fresh heel in my mind. he isn't amonster, and isn't just a straight up arrogant heel (like all that WWE appears to be capable of now a days) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thommohawk Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Being English myself I absolutely love Desmonde Wolfe I think he's absolutely hilarious. Brilliant wrestler too.

Wrestling Century Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Desmond Wolfe callling people "wankers" is hilarious IMO. I live in America and I know what it means. I honestly can't believe that they don't censor that on iMPACT in the US. Do they censor that in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
