Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted November 22, 2002 As always, as soon as a WWE guy gets released, the talk will start floating about the pros and cons of if they came to NWA:TNA. DDP, I'm a little unsure of given his past with Russo (I don't believe they get along that well), and this problem he seems to have with Curt Hennig. Plus, his asking price might be a little out of TNA's reach for someone who can only manage/commentate. Saturn however, is another guy that Russo tried making something out of during his WCW tenure, until the Radical exodus when Russo got canned the first time. He shoud come fairly cheap, and if Russo still has a say creatively, it looks like we could get a decent upper midcard/main event role for Saturn. Thoughts?

Guest bob_barron Report post Posted November 22, 2002 DDP is out in California with Kimberly trying to forge an acting career. I don't know about Saturn but don't put him with any of TNA's sloppy workers. (cue ominous music) DDP has heat with Curt Hennig? Care to elaborate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest nikowwf Report post Posted November 22, 2002 I think DDP still works for them (WWE), albeit not as a wrestler.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bob_barron Report post Posted November 22, 2002 Nope- I believe they terminated his contract- mutual agreement Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted November 22, 2002 DDP has heat with Curt Hennig? Care to elaborate I'm not sure of the situation either, but in every promo Hennig has done since he arrived in TNA, he's bashed DDP for some reason. He was mocking Jarrett's cowboy gimmick, and then he says "Were'nt you DPP? No, that wasn't you..." for no reason whatsoever, other than to get some type of jab in. I'm lost as to why this is, so if anyone knows, can they help us out? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Last Free Voice Report post Posted November 22, 2002 the eliminators, Saturn and Kronus could add some legitimacy to th tag division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oldschoolwrestling Report post Posted November 22, 2002 DDP left the WWE saying he didn't want to be an announcer. I don't think he'd go to TNA to do the same. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted November 22, 2002 the eliminators, Saturn and Kronus could add some legitimacy to th tag division. It always make me laugh when people suggest for Saturn and Kronus to get back together. First off they hate each other and secondly, have you see Kronus since his ECW days?

Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted November 22, 2002 As much as I used to like The Eliminators, there is no way I'd want to see them back. Dreamer's already brought up the fact that they hate each other. They hated each other in ECW, and that's why they were set for a split (remember when they wore different tights? I believe Meltzer said the plan was for Saturn to join the Triple Threat, but Heyman talked Saturn and Kronus into staying together and he'd market them as the "greatest tag team in the world"). And Kronus, while he was no Dynamite Kid, is a shell of his former self, and is tremendously out of shape these days. Saturn's got more name value as a solo guy anyways. Injuries have slowed him down, but people forget that this guy could GO. A motivated Saturn and a change of enviroment could be a great thing for him.

Guest Zack Malibu Report post Posted November 22, 2002 Wouldn't doubt it if Hennig was wrecked all the time these days, Bob. I was a HUGE Mr. Perfect mark back in the day. My mom wondered why as a 10 year old I disliked "everyone's favorite" Hulk Hogan and rooted for Perfect. I remember laughing when he destroyed the title belt on SNME! I was excited when he came back to WWE this year, but he proved there that he's let himself go, and it's too bad. Now in TNA, he's just ridiculous. He hasn't had a good match, cuts blabbering promos that have nothing to do with anything...I just don't like the guy anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It always make me laugh when people suggest for Saturn and Kronus to get back together. First off they hate each other and secondly, have you see Kronus since his ECW days? um no. I havent. Never really saw him in ECW, but I only sugested it because they have semi name value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Slapnuts00 Report post Posted November 22, 2002 DDP is done, no way he'll be in TNA. Saturn is very likely though, he could be a solid uppercard worker with the rest of the X crew... X-WWF Midcard crew, that is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted November 23, 2002 Saturn could be a nice edition to TNA. I think he still has a couple of solid years left in this business and last time I seen him in WWE he still possessed a lot of talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Your Olympic Hero Report post Posted November 27, 2002 Kronus never did anything good except a few signature spots in ECW (backflip elbow-thing into the corner, 450 splash). They completely fucked up Total Elimination half the time, even though when hit correctly on a guy who bumps well (Mikey Whipwreck, Pablo Marquez) it looked like it could legit. take the guys head off. Either way they hate each other and Kronus is virtually worthless these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted November 27, 2002 I read in a recent Saturn interview that he thinks Kronus lives in a trailer park somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
