Guest oldschoolwrestling Report post Posted September 18, 2002 by Dave Scherer Updated: 9/18/2002 2:58:01 PM In the Ross Report last week, JR talked about three new talent signings that WWE was about to make. He said that he would confirm them this week. From what I have heard, two of them are Malice/The Wall and a female talent named Nikita who used to work for HWA. I have also heard that a third may be a ring announcer named Justin Roberts, but I haven't confirmed that one yet. credit 1wrestling.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted September 18, 2002 Already commented on this one in the WWE forum. I agree it sucks because NWA can't afford to be losing talent, and Malice was in the beginning one of the top heels. Luckily The New Church hasn't been a focus since his brief feud with Don Harris, so it's not on the same level if they lost Killings, Lynn, Styles, Low Ki, etc. I don't want NWA to start losing talent, however.

Guest eirejmcmahon Report post Posted September 18, 2002 Don't think anyone in NWATNA will be losing too much sleep over this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted September 18, 2002 Hey, if the WWE wants to steal the big useless guys from TNA, go right ahead. More time for the light and middleweights, the reason we're watching anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Notorious CRD Report post Posted September 18, 2002 It sucks to see Malice leave NWA TNA. He's not the greatest worker ever, but the Malice persona had something to it that the fans did respond to. It's a shame that the Disciples of the New Church have gotten such a neutering since getting started. They had so much potential IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bps "The Truth" 21 Report post Posted September 18, 2002 I'm more unhappy that he'll be on WWE tv again than him leaving TNA. I don't dislike MAlice at all... but I don't want to see him taking up TV time from guys who can actually...you know...not suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2002 Once again, Vinnie Mac is buying out the competition. He saw Malice could have become a relatively over guy with the right backing, and signed him up, because he can. He did it with Perfect and Hogan from XWF, and now he's probably gonna try and take NWA:TNA apart one by one. At least half the guys won't be going back to WWE(Jarrett, Lynn, Killings, Styles, Syxx-Pac, BG, Hall, Shamrock etc) WWE needs competition if it is to suceed again, and WWE needs to suceed for the good of wrestling.

Guest The Son of Sting Report post Posted September 21, 2002 The Observer said there isnt any truth in this at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted September 23, 2002 I have also heard that a third may be a ring announcer named Justin Roberts, but I haven't confirmed that one yet. Well that much is true so the rest might have some truth in it after all. Am I the only one who thinks the new ring announcer from Smackdown seems a lot like one of those guys from the tag team PG-13 (JC Ice and Wolfie D of the Nation of Domination)?

Guest Mad Dog Report post Posted September 23, 2002 Vince will be the death of wrestling within the next few years. He needs competition to shine and he refuses to let any promotions get off the ground. But then again I think NWA TNA has a good roster a lot of them won't go back or are not Hosses.

Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted September 23, 2002 Maybe Vince should sign away the hardcore midgets, the Harris Boys, Brian Lee, and the Dupps, too. That would really piss everyone off at TNA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
