I'll take the minority stance and say it's about time.

 

I remember reading that they had a costume made for him MONTHS ago and they still haven't brought him in.

 

I'll give anyone a chance outside of the WWE to prove me wrong.

[Guest BrokenWings]

Yeah - I don't really mind this. I'm interested in seeing what he can do. I think he'll be good addition, assuming he can move well for a big man (which I believe he can do, if I'm not mistaken) and used properly.

 

I guess we'll see how the cookie crumbles.

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

Being able to move is half the battle.

 

Most of the guys in TNA can put together a match.

 

Given his role I assume we'll see matches against Punk, Julio and then Raven...none of which sound bad to me.

 

The trouble gets to when you have a big man against a shitty wrestler (New Jack or Sandman) or a big man against a big man (Which TNA doens't really have many outside of Abyss and Legend...both of whom I have seen can work).

 

In fact...the lack of big men has also meant a lack of big man vs. little man matches...which if done right can be interesting and good.

 

Or they can be Kash vs. Watts.

All I have to say is that if Bull Buchanan is on an NWA show, I won't order. No matter how good the rest of the card sounds.

 

He's a talentless one-move hack.

[Guest BoboBrazil]

Why wouldn't you order a show with Bull on it if you have been ordering shows with Erik Watts on them?

[Astro101 0]

Even if Bull was on for a cameo and Styles was wresting Daniels with no Russo?

[Guest bps "The Truth" 21]

His one move was too many for the WWE style which is why they let him go.

[Guest Slapnuts00]

The Observer reported that Buchanan was given a tryout match before the show and he asked about pay but apparently their don't pay talent for dark matches which pissed him off. Maybe things have smoothed out though.

[Guest The Decadent Slacker]

I'm all for Bull showing up. The New Church suits him. I actually liked the guy pre RTC (of course, he was with Bossman, so it might have been a lesser of 2 evils thing), & if he can break away from the famed WWE Style, i'd be curious to see how he does. But i'm not expecting a Vader here- maybe a Bigelow in his prime? Ah well, we'll know for sure in 2-3 weeks (as he shakes off the WWE moveset, hopefully).

 

His new outfit better kick ass.

[Guest Mindless_Aggression]

Bull's problem wasn't WWE style so much as it was that he never looked like he knew what he was doing. He just looked incredibly lost out there and dare I say, the friggin Bossman and the then Goodfather held the tag matches together when they teamed with Bull.

 

He's got a couple of cute moves but it doesn't seem like he had any actual training so much as he went in, learned how to bump, learned 3 moves and called it a day.

[Guest Deviant]

You know, we saw all that Bull has in WWE. They didn't restrict his ring-style...

 

Of course, I guess he could have improved, but I'll believe it when I see it and admit that my doubts weren't called for. Until then, I can't say I have any desire to see him at all.
