One would hope so, yes.

Don't announce him as signed till you've got his name on a contract!

This is the best thread ever - RVDMARK, 1inch, thanks for the laughs lads. I reckon you're dead right Bryan, Hogan wants to drop the leg on Russo sooooo bad.

I don't recall hearing anything about EA til D-Lo's recent interview - do you have a link or something on that ? I haven't been online much over the last month so it's quite likely that I missed it at the time. Def Jam had a pretty big license behind it with the likes of DMX, Ludacris and Redman all involved.

Do we know there is ? It's one thing for some video game company execs to accept free flights, free lodging and free dinners in order to watch an NWATNA show and another for a company, or companies, to be interested in buying the NWATNA license.

Outside of the Iron Man match, I can't remember the last time I watched any WWE television.

Exactly. Trusting to his word, given the character he's displayed in the past, wouldn't be the wisest of moves.

I don't agree with the positive spin you tend to put on all things NWATNA Bryan but I do enjoy reading your FTO columns. I think it'd be a suicidal move for NWATNA to build a big event around Hulk Hogan if all he's willing to give them is a verbal agreement. To answer your question, "What's in it for Hogan ?" Well, if the NWATNA bods build around Hogan but don't have him locked into a written contract, then he's in the perfect position to get himself back into the WWE. He doesn't have to prove he's a draw to do it either, you think Vince could resist swooping him out from under the noses of NWATNA on the eve of their big night ? NWATNA have to get his name on a piece of paper, otherwise they're setting themselves up for a huge fall.

Another point : I hope that NWATNA got Hogan's name on a cast iron contract, otherwise they're just playing a part in his efforts at getting back into the WWE.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of buyrate Hogan will draw.

Alternative.

I've a lot of respect for the Rock and wish him nothing but success with whatever he decides to do with his career - the fact that his success outside the wrestling business clearly pisses the hell out of HHH is just gravy.

Just listen to the fans, especially the live crowds. They're eating up everything Eddie does at the moment - I'd push him right to the top, give the people who are paying to see the product what they want.

Did you watch the X match last week ? By all accounts the WWE is putting out a poor product at the moment (I'm not bothering with it myself) but the fact is that NWATNA does come across as bush league all too often.

As I said elsewhere on this forum Dames, I pretty much agreed with your view of last weeks show and it was comforting to find someone else who wasn't blown away by the X match.

Last week's show was weird - I really didn't think it was anything special but a lot of people flipped their shit over it. Dames' review helped convince me that I wasn't going totally mad mind.

EVERY time there's a massive internet backlash against an episode of Raw, 1wrestling runs a story like this. Just saying isall.

Howso ?

I appreciate that you're obviously a big fan of the NWATNA product but that's just silly, there's no way they'd draw those kind of numbers.

Agreed, but it does make the promotion look more than a little bush league.

Pretty average stuff but I got a good laugh out of the X match.

Did any of you guys see Low Ki take out the camera man ?

Lesnar climbing the cell with the title around his neck after beating the Undertaker - that's my main memory of Brock so far.

"I know they aren’t dumb enough to do the same dumb ladder match finish as they did with AJ and D-Lo...so someone has to win here."
