BoboBrazil Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 (Hogan) You've heard the reports of Jimmy Hart opening his own wrestling promotion with his main promoter (his version of Zane Bresloff) being Murad Muhammad, the boxing promoter of Roy Jones Jr. Jimmy Hart is a very smart man and Muhammad is famous in boxing circles, but I give that deal about as much chance as the XWF. I suspect that Jimmy Hart knows that his best shot is with NWA-TNA and that the 'threat' of Hart forming his group is just for leverage at the bargaining table with Jerry Jarrett. I can say with confidence (as I reported down below) that there are indications from New Japan's side that they are willing to pour cash into NWA-TNA if they can acquire Bill Goldberg, Kurt Angle, or Brock Lesnar and have the rights to book the mentioned workers in Japan. Kurt Angle is their dream choice. -puroresupower.com
Guest Choken One Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 NJPW doesn't pay any attention do they? If they want Those guys why not call Vince up?
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 That's interesting. All it means is Vince is going to pay Goldberg a tremendous lot of money after WrestleMania as the other 2 are under long term deal already.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 NJPW doesn't pay any attention do they? If they want Those guys why not call Vince up? Vince doesn't work well with others. The death of WCW and ECW pretty much squashed any hopes of New Japan to get their guys on American TV.
Guest Choken One Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 That's true..If NJPW wants Goldberg...it's great for HHH and Vince... Gberg will still get his money and loves Japan anyways and vince can get rid of his headache...and HHH has ZERO political obsectales cept for Rock.
BoboBrazil Posted October 15, 2003 Author Report Posted October 15, 2003 Vince screwed over Inoki when Inoki lent him money for the first Wrestlemania. Vince quickly paid him back then cut off all ties with him. Inoki wants to support Vince's competition and take him out. This is all in the other article I posted, which is a good read so go read it.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 This is actually quite an interesting story. Not right now mind you, but come March it will be something to look at. Goldberg has said that he wants to stay in WWE but it's not up to him. It's really up to McMahon.
Guest Dynamite Kido Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 If Goldberg gets wind of that......witness him become a bigger prick than he already is.
BigPoppaKev Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 There is something that might be a little bit of a problem for TNA/NJ if they ever tried to get Goldberg. In Japan Goldberg has a deal with DSE (parent company of PRIDE). Im sure if it really came down to it Goldberg could work NJ but who knows.
Vyce Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Angle & Lesnar just aren't going to leave. I can see Goldberg "defecting", though.
Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Quicky Question... Did Hogan ever get his j-o-b back from GB If not...there's the money match in 2004
Styles Posted October 15, 2003 Report Posted October 15, 2003 Well, all TNA has to do is sign Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar! This is easier then I though!
Guest TheGame2705 Posted October 16, 2003 Report Posted October 16, 2003 Bill Goldberg, Kurt Angle, or Brock Lesnar Please take two of them. I would support TNA if they did because then I wouldn't have to watch Berg or Brock on WWE TV, There is something that might be a little bit of a problem for TNA/NJ if they ever tried to get Goldberg. In Japan Goldberg has a deal with DSE (parent company of PRIDE). Im sure if it really came down to it Goldberg could work NJ but who knows. Unless DSE and AJPW are related or he signed the deal after, he worked two AJPW shows before he went to WWE.

So he burrowed money, paid him back, then did no further business The CAD!
Guest Choken One Posted October 17, 2003 Report Posted October 17, 2003 it's evil but standard business practice...use them and leave them.

So he burrowed money, paid him back, then did no further business The CAD! If you were Inoki, wouldn't you be upset? I mean, sure, business is business and all that, but if you could have been there and ridden Vince's coattails, so to speak, just when the WWF was really taking off, and Vince rather unceremoniously cut ties with you, you'd probably be a bit disgruntled at the loss of opportunity (and profit) that resulted.

Vince doesn't work well with others. The death of WCW and ECW pretty much squashed any hopes of New Japan to get their guys on American TV. More like Vince has gotten the better of Inoki every time the two have butted heads. Don't let your hatred of Vince turn into ignorance. If Vince is a bit crazy... then Inoki is fucking nuts.
Guest RollingSambos Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 No way are they ever getting Brock or Kurt. They got a shot at Goldberg, I guess.
eirejmcmahon Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 Er...this may sound stupid...but...why wouldn't New Japan just 'pour money' into actually trying to sign Goldberg himself (should he become available) ?
Guest TheGame2705 Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 Inoki wants ties to an American fed. He'll fund them in addition to Panda if they get those 3 wrestlers and let Inoki use them. At first, one might think what you thought but it's all about Inoki wanting ties in America
Guest Choken One Posted October 21, 2003 Report Posted October 21, 2003 He could just tie into TNA right now and wait 6 months for Goldberg if he really wants him and by the time he shows up...he already has hisself well into tna.
