Dragonmack Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I confess, outside of catching the ECW show on tues because nothing else is on, I haven't followed wrestling for several months. But w\ Bret Hart coming back, I am going to make a point of seeing the Raw he is he guest GM of and follow along at least for his storyline. Who else is anticipating the return of Bret Hart?

randomfreeze Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'll be DVRing RAW and watching the Fiesta Bowl. I'm excited to see Bret again, but it's easier to avoid wrestling spoilers than football spoilers so it'll go second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I was planning on watching Hogan's Impact debut, but with the announcement of Bret I'm totally watching RAW. I was a huge Hart Foundation mark growing up, so I'm looking forward to seeing him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gouge Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm watching TNA, I haven't been able to stomach RAW for the past few months and Bret Hart isn't enough for me to sit through everything else. I may switch the channel when I hear he's on, but my plan right now is to just watch the Hart segments on YouTube the next night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracyBrooksFan Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 i iwll have my DVR set to record RAW because i will be at Impact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juggaloninjalee Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I think I am more interested in Impact that night. May watch RAW a little bit but mainly Impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrestling Century Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'm going to watch Impact, due to the fact that old favorites like Scott Hall, Sean Waltman and Rob Van Dam might come back. I'll be DVRing Raw, but I'll probably fast foward through alot of parts due to it being so boring ever since the end of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 <p>Thinking about it, I'll probably DVR Impact and dodge spoilers until I can watch it. I'm not anticipating 'surprise appearances' (RVD is about the only one I'd be interested in, and he's a guy you should hype for weeks beforehand) but I'm interested in seeing what kind of format Hogan brings to Impact. He says he's an MMA fan, so I wonder what elements of that he'll bring in. I'm interested in seeing what Hulk Hogan's vision of wrestling is, now that his wrestling days are all but over. I expect it's going to be Ye Olde Reunion of his friends and WCW stars from a decade ago, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and check out the first one. I haven't watched a full Impact in 6 months, so it seems like a good place to start.</p><p> </p><p> ... but RAW I'm watching live. I can't think of any combination of stars that can equal my love of the Hitman.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jwt13 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'll be DVRing RAW and watching Hogan as I see more surprises happening on Impact Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 <p>I see impact cramming a load of underwhelming "surprises" into a show at the expense of any actual action, then a couple of weeks down the line having no idea where to go next.</p><p> </p><p> But I do like them declaring war. There's a chance, a very slim one admittedly, but still a chance that Jan 4th could be a day remembered in wrestling for a long time.

Hyde Hill Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Or as mentioned before as a big stick it to Vince have Bret show up on Impact. Highly unlikely as Bret hates Hogan but that would be the ultimate screw you to Vince and Shawn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 As amusing as it would be, I doubt Hart goes for payback here. My his own admission, he's "over" the incident. It keeps getting brought up by the WWE and by interviewers. People think he talks about it endlessly, but that's really because he's still asked about it endlessly. My plan is to PVR both and flip between. I expect I'll spend more time on Raw than Impact, though. I doubt many of the TNA surprises on the night will really be ones that really surprise, plus I have a bit more faith in the WWE to put on a super-show at this point.

justtxyank Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'll be watching. I hate the WWE and haven't been entertained by it in a long time. That said, Bret is enough to get me to watch and follow his storyline. I was planning to watch TNA for sure on Monday as I'm interested to see what direction they go in, but Bret wins in this battle for me. I'll DVR TNA. Edit: Bret has signed a contract. I'm sure that contract has stipulations regarding his behavior. He's not going to screw over the WWE in this. He has a solid working relationship with them at this point after the last DVD, and is apparently working with them to release another one. As for TNA's "surprises," I'm very negative on them right now. Sean Waltman potentially? Scott Hall? Hall looks horrible. Horrible! He better not be anything of importance on that show.

Bigpapa42 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 The other possible/likely surprises for the TNA show.... Ric Flair Mr. Kennedy Rob van Damn Short of rolling out The Rock or Steve Austin, those names are not "game-changing". Who else can they possibly bring in who would make a major impact? Who would legitimately shock wrestling? I'm hoping they have a true ace up their sleeves... but I'm not expecting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its highly doubtful because of the drugs and all but it could happen. And since it was annouced at an UFC event how is Lesnars condition if good enough posibly him which could draw som ESPN media and other media Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And since it was annouced at an UFC event how is Lesnars condition if good enough posibly him which could draw som ESPN media and other media Jeff Hardy would be a bigger addition than Kennedy, given he's been a world champion in the WWE. But the drug arrest makes him a pretty disgraced champion at this point. I would say that would be an addition that could do more harm than could, in terms of fan perception. Lesnar is still under contract to the UFC and there is no way the UFC would allow him to compete in pro wrestling. Just because of Spike, the UFC might allow Lesnar to appear, but how much does that add to TNA? Plus, I still doubt the UFC would want to emphasize Lesnar's pro wrestling past like that. Or if he would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I've heard that Hulk has been mentioning Jeff quite a bit, but he's also been talking up how he's 'great friends with Cena' so take it all with a pinch of salt. Frankly, I don't think drugs would be an issue when it comes to Jeff and TNA. It's Jeff's relationship with WWE that's the issue. If WWE don't want anything else to do with him, TNA would gladly snap him up... and so they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHK1978 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I will be watching TNA as the WWF just does not peak my interest any longer and I was never a big Brett Hart fan to begin with. The big surprise is totally going to be Lex Luger as he comes out through the crowd in the Mall of America....oh wait....nevermind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwt13 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Here is some names I would like to see in TNA come Monday Scott Hall- I will always be a fan no matter how bad off he is but I heard he was looking a whole lot better. Old Sting- The Sting that doesn't talk and whops ass Petey Williams- Would love to see him return to TNA Torrie willson- since Lauren has quite I think Torrie could take here spot better than Hemme. The ECW Invasion- Dreamer, Sabu, and RVD come and confront Team 3D and Rhino leading to them backing Morgan, Dinero, Hernadez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If WWE don't want anything else to do with him, TNA would gladly snap him up... and so they should. I wouldn't be surprised to see Hardy. I just think its a very risky move by TNA until he has his legal matters sorted out. How embarassing would it to have Hardy debut to big hype, then have him disappear off-screen for a few months for jail time or whatever. As a neutral (relatively, at least) fan, the addition of Hardy makes sense but it doesn't entice me much at all. Hardy seems like he needs to be motivated to produce quality, and it would really feel like TNA picking up the WWE's unwanted trash after the whole drug arrest thing (even knowing Hardy chose not to resign). Cena moving to TNA would shock. He's supposedly so WWE to the core that it would be a monster defection. It wouldn't have quite the same impact as Hulk Hogan jumping ship in his prime (if he had), but its as close as could happen today. The other current WWE would could make an impact by moving to Impact are Triple H, HBK, Taker, and Orton. Triple H is family and both Taker and Michaels are too loyal at this point (I think). Orton makes me wonder. As for the likes of Jericho, Big Show, CM Punk, Batista, and so... they would be a big deal but not as major as the "big ones".

Wrestling Century Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Tommy Dreamer can't show up on monday. He has a 90-day no compete clause as a part of his WWE contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Shape Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Jericho would be pretty big i think, you know that man can have a debut hyped up to the moon. He'd come in, play face, guarantee quality material. Bigger acquisition and I would (maybe) argue name than Randy Orton. Everything but age...
